    object , to be compassed by ndtiorial resources . A society has been formeifcAnder the name of the " Central Society of Education / ' 4 t for me purpose of urging the import ^ ance , and endeavouring to hhprove the science and art of Education . It proposes to seek these objfefets : first , by instituting strict and minute investigations thrbtlghout the

    country , on which to found accurate statistics of education , * both of means and wants . Secondly , by the publication of one or more periodical vrorks > devoted to trie subject of education , and especially to the circulation of opinibns and plans on the best means of jnaking it g 6 od and universal ;

    Some well-wishers to the cause have expressed regret that this society is not based on a direct recognition * of the principle that education should be a government object ; , but I would submit whethef , 'looking to the large amount of objection yet to be overcome , it may not be . better that a society sfeould

    exist , in whose exertions all may join who desire tOk extend and improve education , whatever their opipio ^ a f £ ty > the best means of ultimately attaining those ends .
