and the Chancellor's objection to & national provision for education , that it would put a stop to private subscriptions , would not apply . If the contribution of 20 , 000 £ . toward * building school-houses , has called forth individual subscriptions to Wore than double the- amewnt , a still greater stimulus would be given to private beneficence if the State were to supply , what is so much crreater a desideratum than a place to teach in , masters fit to teach .
Lord Malmesbuly , good man , objects to Normal Schools , because ' the founders of charity schools always take care to supply them with proper masters . ' We admire the noble Lord ' s unsuspecting innocence , and are curious to know where he has lived . A suspicion never crossed his ingenuous mind that ah inadequate teacher is to be found in thfe whole country . Any one probably is fit for a schoolmaster according to his ideas , who

A young , and till then obscure individual , coming into Parliament with neither money , rank , connexion , nor previous
reputation , allying himself with no party , neither compromising a single opinion , nor courting the favour of one human being , but often injuring himself by giving needless offence—he already occupies a station of honour and importance , both in the House < md in the country ; he has defied alike Whigs , Tories , and demagogues , yet has extorted respect from them all , and he alone
