The Committee Wish To Remark That, Throu...
the regular circulation of the tracts wherever there exist parochial organizations for visiting the poor . For this part of their work
the Committee very earnestly ask aid . They much desire to give grants of tracts to all poor parishes , and also to sell at a great
reduction to all persons engaged in district visiting and similar pursuits ; but the Association ' s funds are quite insufficient for either
of these purposes . By arrangements recently made with Messrs . Jarroldsteps are now being taken to extend the list of tracts
• considerabl , y , and to increase the trade circulation . The diffusion of sanitary knowledge by means of classes and
lectures has been continued . Two classes have been formed , under the superintendence of Dr . Hoth , for instruction in the laws of
health and in Ling ' s system of educational gymnastic exercises . The ils were exclusively female teachers in schools for the poor
pup andas Dr . Roth most generously rendered his valuable services , gratuitousl , y , no fee was charged . Two of the pupils in this
class have already introduced the exercises into their schools . The Committee are now endeavoring to organize another similar class
on a larger scale , and they very earnestly ask the aid of all interested in the improvement of physical education .
The Committee , feeling deeply convinced that the need of sanitary knowledge is by no means confined to the poor and
illiterate , requested the Council of University College to institute a Course of Lectures to Ladies on Physiology applied to Health and
Education . The Council very readily and kindly granted this favor on the most liberal termsand the lectures are now in course of
delivery by John Marshall , , Esq . It is a very gratifying fact that upwards of forty of the ladies attending * them are teachers , who
intend to impart the knowledge they are receiving to their pupils , who are for the most part children of the poorer classes . Thus
, these lectures will eventually lead to the instruction of thousands besides those attending them . The following series of sixteen free
evening _Jectures , especially designed for the working classes , has heen arranged and partly delivered : —
