Excerpt from Hints on an Improved and Self-Paying System of National Education: Suggested From the Working of a Village School in Hampshire, With Observation, From Personal Inspection, on the Irish National Schools

The parents themselves take great interest in getting their children to point out places on the map which interest them, and in one instance, when a child said its father wished it to have a map of Australia, I was curious to know why it was, that some of their rela tions had gone out there as emigrants.

As a model school, I conceive this to have been Of very great service in this part of the country: it has not only been the means Of introducing a better class of books into many Of the schools of the neighbour hood, but improved modes of teaching, arising from the teachers, as well as those taking an interest in village education, having visited it.

There are at present four children from it employed as teachers in other schools; and the boy whom I have placed in the position Of a second master, has, through the school and his own industry, qualified him self for any situation Of the kind, and is perfectly competent to teach anything which is taught here.
