of instruction , which he ha 3 had the happiness of establishing in his parish ^ there is nothing which affords him greater satisfaction" than its
comprehensiveness His system brings together under the same roof the rising generation of the labouring poor and those who will probably be their future masters or mistresses . " We consider
such an arrangement as calculated for the benefit of Jboth descriptions of scholars ; and much prefer it to those inferior boarding schools , to which the children of farmers are frequently sent , " where , if their morals escape corruption , they are at least in danger of acquiring , and often do acquire , a distaste for country employments . "
The several boys and girls in th « Enmore school , are , we presume , of families belonging to the church of England ; " tne religious instruction being according to the principles" of that church . \ Vhether the offspring of dissenting parents are admissible , and on what conditions , we know not . Mr , Poole appears to be exceeds
ingly zealous fqr what he styles " tjie church of England schools "; nor will we reproach any conscientious clergyman with his attachment to the ecclesiastical discipline under which he has solemnly enlisted . The education however , of the infant poor , ^ s an
object of paramount importance : it is worthy of being promoted , and will be best promoted , by the united effprt ^ of men of various denominations of religion . And of the volume under our review , so little is exclusively ap ^ plicable to schools for one church y or sect ( the Romish comimunibn looking
on Protestants without exception , an Sectarians ) , that we do not shrink from urging its claims on an attej ^ pg still more general than what it already has obtained . How signally useful woula be those
of the clergy , and of our country-gentlemen , who should imitate Mr . Poole r s example 1 We are astQnished , mortified and gr ieved , that men qf wealth and feisure ^ nd educat ^ bty ^ inerj too * , w ^ o profits a belief in , tne Christie region ,, are , so cajeiesa of tjie mental improvement of * tne children
