The mantle of the Inspector of Schools 'could not have fallen on more capable shoulders than when it passed to Mr. BRIWIN. He, like Mr. Szuconnz Smitн,.. has worked his way up the ladder and receives office as the reward of merkt. The office is a difficult one to fill, and it requires a man possessed of special qualities to discharge the duties, as Dr. Eirrt has ever done, in a manner at once satisfactory to the powers that be and creditable to himsell. It is a pretty big jump from Acting Assistant Registrar- General to Inspector of Schools, but we have full confidence that Mr. BARWIN will prove himself worthy of the con- fidence reposed is him and that the grand cause of education will not suffer at his hands.
