clue The difficulty on that subject had been vory
great at Bret. The education of the upper class bad
advanced greatly in compel-bon to the middle, and it
was thought mom easy to deal with the education of the
poorer class, as they would accept schools founded by
4arity,therefore with them there was not much difficulty.
But this was not the principle which mold be applied to
the ed natio° of the middle class. A charity ochool lemma
of the question, because the middle class could pay for
their education as well as other people. Some of the
schools belonging to the upper Class were endowed, bet
the middle clam had none of these. Some
persons wished that the middle class should be divided
Into two sections—those who stood at the top of the
class sending their children to some of the
public schools of the country, and thus who stood
lower tending their children to the schools of the
labourers. One great cense of rejoicing, be
thought, that day was that they had art

that day at that being &scooted now as • principle.
tit believed this was sot qaestiooad, and said he had
on. or tiro very remarkable documents which could he
produced in favour of it. In support of this, he
referred to • pamphlet published In the last reports ei
Oh. Royal and Bath and Wert of England Agricultural
Societies, and contended that the line which the
Meier, pta-
of the school had taken, was that adopted by
the meths published by the Sosiedies. It was satis-
factory to End that they "ere not standing abs.; that
the !mutation of the school was not an idea which
belonged to two or three present, but an idea whisk
had got • strong hold in the minds of those persons who
were connected with the welfare of the middle class,
persons more especially conneeted with the ten ants of the
soil. With respect to their ochool,there were one ortwe
things connected with it, which, to his mind, were
mental principles of its constitution. The first was
that of Its religions basis, and the swoord wes In Its
government. The Ven. Archdeacon explained at some
length the manner in which the school was managed,
which might be belay summarized as this. The
principles of the school are those of the broad bests al
the Chun* of England. The government of the wheal
Is committed to the care of a Council. of these there
being some ex dick, membete, consisting of the
principal persons in the county. The head master to
be • clergyman of the Church of England. The
¶ateet proportion of the governing body aro
ith on persons who have shares in
the school and take an interest in it. The
governing body is composed of clergy and laity—a Wald
body—sod practical men. One essential principle of
the school is that the head muter haa no pecuniary ad.
vantage in the funds of the school, but the stipend
which he receives. There is no mercenary or cow
mer Cal ohj-et in view. The boys have the full brain
of the institution, without their parents feeling amid
of the inflater making money out of, or preying epee
them, lie did not wigs to say one word against those
men who had devoted themselves to the work of educa-
tion, in order that they might get their bread by it. Bo
hail dose that himself, a great many of them hie I
to do, and rightly to do so, and perhaps they could not
have a better work entrusted to them. The Ven.
Archdeacon then continued his eubject-of the manage-
ment of the school, staling that the head muter was
appointed by the Council, and the entire control of the
.col was left in his hands. Ile was not interfered
with by the Council; the responsibility of the school
rested upon him. A great deal, the chairman re-
marked, was said in these days about the state of am
labourer and poor, and it had been suggested that the
beat way to improve their condition was to Improve the
condition of those persons who employed them. Pro-
bably little could be does for them until the employer
himself was raised. not only to • better state of milli-
entice of mind, but also raised both in a religious and
mond point of view. He did not think badly of this
class of men, for probably amongst many of his greatest
friends were employers of leboarers, farmer, tenants of
the soil, men to whom the greatest pomible kindnese
was due for the way in which they had discharged their
daties to the gifts God had given them, and
m.ntollngland owed so much. But of course
there were peewee who from circumstances, had teen
ma off from the educational advantages of the present
day, sod it was • difficult question to speak to them
shout education. They were prejudiced acceinsl it, and
thought it was being driven too far, and that they
themselves get on better as practical men instead of
educated ones ; but he sootended that as the improve-
ments In farming and machinery had been so great it
was most important that farmers should be educated.
After referring to the eo-operatiou which the laity
should take in the cause of education, the Von. Arch-
deacon proceeded to say that it ins through an usident
eire school we. placed in Dorchester. The pular:to of
the school woe one of the propositions which hal been
mach discussed by the Council, and It was their inten-
tion to take the school away from the town ; in fact
not to boo in soy town, but to some raral locality. There
was more than one rearm for doing so. He did not
wish to set up an antagonistic echool to any Goo which
might be In one town or another. (Cheers.) Then
must be a feeling that the Council were acting against
other people. Ha wished to avoid doing so. and should
be thankful if be could snowed. If, however, the
school prospered, they would have boys from every
place. -He should like the school to have Wag la the
country incased of in the town but it was found Isl.
potable to do so at once, and therefore It as It
was not only os account of the object he had stated, but
It was alsoenth reload to the method itself, that be thought
it was moat essential that it should be in the country.
Such • step would gain the conlideess of the yeoman of
Oh. county, and be was winded that persons lichee in
towns would be only too happy that their crisree
should associate with the sons of agriculturists. It was
essential also to the sports of the school, and he hoped
that the time could not be far distant before the Conseil
would be able to remove it. They throw themselou
before the public. as • Council, as expottuts of their prim
cilia., and. through the boys, the report of the exami.
nue that the world might know whether they Itsd be-
haved themselves as • Council, and whether the sari
bad beau conducted in a sucessfal meaner. (Rew.
bear.) He alluded to the difficulty which some persons
said was to be found In middle-schools, unsay, that
there was no standard measure by which the boys might
be tested respecting their prolleientey. and that the most
pains-taking master might think that, whilst he was
doing his work well, the seetrary was Oh. ma,. Is re-
spect to this statement, he again quoted eztrart
from the documents already alluded to. showil:g that as
honest examination might be passed by mesas of gain-
twisted examiners. He knew it wee the desire of Mr.
