Excerpt from Manual of Mutual Instruction: Consisting of Mr. Fowle's Directions for Introducing in Common Schools the Improved System Adopted in the Monitorial School, Boston Repeated calls having been made at the office of the Jour nal of Education, for information concerning the system of mutual instruction, and for works calculated to assist teachers in introducing it, the following volume has been compiled with a view to suit these purposes. Mr. Fowle's directions to instructers of common schools, have received the principal place in this Manual, as seemed due not less to their own prao tical importance, than to the particular stage of education to which they apply. In the Appendix, the application of mon itorial instruction to higher schools and to higher branches, has been exhibited in extracts from several recent publications, and other sources of intelligence.
