      I "Education, At Least In The Matter Of ...

      I "EDUCATION , at least in the matter of the Primary Schools which form so important a - " part of our national system , may be said to be almost the only domestic subject on which

      legislation has been carried to a successful issue during the past two years . Nearly all other questions have been set aside in favour of Ireland and her real or fictitious grievances ; bat

      the work which Mr . Forster initiated in 1870 has been steadily carried out by Mr . Mundella whose Revised Code of 1882 is a worthy complement of the Act which the member for

      Bradford succeeded in passing . But while _ so-called i ^* . ^ ^_ Elementary . ^^^ b ^^ p . bb . Education BBBtaBB am Bh has bB thus ~_~ secured ample consideration at the hands of the Government—mainly because it is fortunate enough

      to form . ft . the special charge of a minister who , not being a member of the Cabinet , is untram VJ - melled by imperial business—secondary education is still waiting its turn ; and , beyond the

      reconstruction of a fe-w of the endowed grammar schools , it cannot be said that any advance has been ---- made by the Government towards placing ^_ , * the instruction of the children of the middle — - — < w ^

      classes upon a satisfactory footing * Private enterprise has done something , it is true , and the High Schools for Girls , established under the auspices of a Limited Liability Company , have

      proved specially successful , and have supplied what may justly be described as ' a long-felt want / In the range of university education the schemes of the Royal Commissioners are

      being gradually carried out , but it is too early to speak of their success or failure . With movements such as these taking - ¦»¦ p «¦» lace around us , concurrently »¦ with a sp— irited competition * .

      among the proprietors of the numerous private schools , which still contrive to hold their own and to secure the preference of a large number of English patents , it is obvious that a largely

      increased demand is being made , and is likely to continue to he made , upon those who provide schoolmasters and schoolmistresses with the * sinews of war ; ' and the lists of school-books and

      school material which the present number of the Publishers' Circular contains will show that there is no danger of the supply falling short of the demand . Wherever a weak point is

      found , we note various efforts to provide what is wanted , and the varied assortment of works I on natural science furnishes an illustration of the readiness which , the leading publishers

      , display in noting the current of educational opinion .
