Mr. Fon-lie-r, meeting
at Leeds in support of the Cambridge University scheme,
confessed that ho had never read a speech which gave him
so much pleasure as the one made by Mr. Cross a few days
ago at Orrell, on eduution. Ho knew the Home Secretary
too well uot to believe that what he promised he would
certainly perform. Mr. Forster urged that the children of
a workman should stay at school till ten years of age, and
that between 10 and 12 or 13 they should he kept at half
work and half school; that the tradesman's child might
remain at school until It : and that the sons and daughters
of the richer people might continue receiving instruction
up to or 15. The education received at school should,
however, be carried forward by evening classes, in-
stitutes of all kinds, evening lectures, and colleges of
science.
