fresh figure emerges upon the narrow platform . "Is it permitted ! to see your picture ? "
" You may see it in the exhibition / ' I mutter , fiercely . " May we ask the subject ?"
" You will see it in the catalogue . " Upon this a general retreat ensues , and a blessed silence at length

• ? - It is recommended in the Heport of the Royal Commission on
Education or mischievous , that in the their funds action of all should ancient be charities placed found at the to disposal be useless of
certain commissioners to be applied to the purposes of education . The annual income of the charities included in this description
and recommended to be abolished , amounts to no less than £ 101113 9 s . 3 d *
If , , therefore , the proposed plan should meet the approbation of Parliament , the principles by which the yearly distribution of so
large a sum are to be regulated will become a matter of no little * moment .
One of the objects which it is intended to promote by these means is the establishment of endowed or assisted schools to meet the
wants of those portions of the community which are the least provided for by existing institutionsbut which yet require educational aid .
, This principle is perfectly just . A large sum being unexpectedly added to the funds devoted by the nation to the purposes of education ,
it is right to bestow the bonus on those who have hitherto received little or nothing from the public , but who are not the less in want
of The help justic . e and reasonableness of this proposition will recommend
itself to every one , but some difficulty will perhaps be found in deciding which is the class that comes the most under this
description . It is for the object of clearing up this point that these pages have been written and the tables , to be found further on , compiled .
The working classes seem at the first glance to have the strongest claim , but we are told on high authority that they are already so
well provided with National Schools that there is a strong _probability of their becoming more intelligent than the class immediately
