So ran the musings of a smart Australian pedagog. Last week the startled Ministry of Education in Sydney received, and began to ponder, a strange result of his thoughts: a contraption of many wheels, dials, weights, levers, by which a cane is caused to swish down, with precisely regulated force and direction...
