When the Government whom* of situation wee late

British School would be given up, mut the augers
of the other elementery schools of Um town ss4 about

made to the inhabitant, of the town, aooomolutiod by
S statistical statement showing ohildren of Church of
Ragland parents attended the school la the greatest
another* of any denonsiaatlon. Bat no adequate
response bang made to the appeal, the sahool Is to be
gives up. For many years Mr. Matthew Duettist% has
been th• mole support of the school, but he is, unforto-
natoly, in ill health, and is precluded from taking that
asides part which he has done for many plan. The
master—Mr. Bunting—who has oonduetad the school
with nal and skill for the last 11 years, has bran
appointed to • school at Mere, and leaves for his oew

The Rev. T. N roes an the mune of his remarks said
they would all j in with him In the ezpreadon of
regret at the absence of their friend Mr. Devenish, wh
had hoped to be with them that evening, but whose
state of health reodered Li beyond Ma power to
filM hie own wishes. Ur. Deveoish hod purposely
returned from Weymouth where he has been waking •
change of air for the recruiting of his health, to be at
this meeting, Lori it lea very great denial to him not
to be present. Bad he been here he would have been
no less "ratified with the stounination than in former
peen; for in all the subjects the pupils have evinced
• praiseworthy knowledge and a wornmendaWe diligeoce
which reflect no little credit on the eyeful training of
Mr. Bootleg. To all of us it is • matter of regret,
that this is the teal rumination of the British School,
and the reason for its diseontizaatioe is Well known to
you. The responsibility of the school for very comoy
pare past has been resting on the shoulders of Mr.
Devenish ; mod owing to destining health, which wishes
it most neosseary for him to seek ae much relief from
public and other engagomeate as persible, be ends it
necesenary to pass the re.poneibility to others ; and as
none of the oommittee felt adequate to it. it was unani-
mously resolved some months ago to discontinue the
school. Tbe managers feel besides that the duty which
hitherto devolvel upon them, and whieh they thank-
fully endeavoured to diteharge, has been loperteded
by the 818 for National Education, which empowers
every oommunity to make this provision for themselves.
Personally I have elwals felt strongly on the qa sties,
sod think that the proper method to pursue le to elect
&School Bawd in which the community will be fairly
represented, and by which it, will equally sustain the
reseoceibilltioe which meantime rest with private
ludividualt My opinions, I know. are not in accord-
ance with the people of the town ; but everybody who
knows anything of this matter knows thet it is only •
queettoo of • year or two before edueation shall be
*want:limy all over England, which will render School
Boards compulsory also. We can weil afford to wail
until then.

Mr. W. Ours emanated his regret at Mr. Bunting's
leaving and the closing el the satiocl. He had been
secretary aloft 1867, and in that yea: V:. achoot was
earned on for £95. Some thoogu it might be made
more efficient II they obtalosel Govarocneat aid, bet to
get it they bad to incur con.lderable emponsetn littinge,
books and pupil Umbers and as year tbe oust of
tosobleg was £156, and the other expenses made up
£193. In tbe present year the teaching had out
£153 10a., books !Ail 8.. 1.. lidlite and fuel £3 SI.,
TPOSIAOII, and Gleaning 1.9 4.. 21.. rent, texes, ha,
£2O 17e. Id., total, £202 14.. 81. Towards this, leaving
out Mr. Devenisb, the public of Dorchester subaribed
but £lO. At Christrnas there was • debt of £B4 since
when Mr. Devonian bad given • donation of t4O, and
there was now being 860. Ur. Deventsh bad spent
large sums on the echoid, but after carrying it on so
many rare and getting Ito lure • debt, together with
the failure of his health, It was impoesibe to continue
the ocho6l. Many persons had said to him th a was
" along" and • " great mistake," but while they
expressed • desire for the maintenance of the school
they gave no money—(laughter). The Government
grunt amounted to Eli 0, school pease is £5O, and
they wonted £.50 more. Be thought it • pity the
people of Dorchester were not disposed to emotribute
that sem. Good flaripture instruction wee given in
the school, and if • &heel Board had hue formed in
Dorchester it would have 'stabil/hod limier schools.
It was opened with prayer and the reading of tie
Scripture, and aloud cdtb!prayor. With • Board school
there would perhaps be more religions lestreerVon given,
bemuse from tbo feeling shown in Dorchester it was
evident perilous would be elected favourable to re-
ligion, teaching, belt there weld be no distinctive el ate-
Wool. It was Troia; to speak of Board *Auk es 'ivied
" godless dominos." When a School Board au first
talked &boat in Dorchester rertaio gentlemen beieed •
eircalu, saying • School Board would cost £1,200.
If so the school pawn ought to be aa much, and the
Government grant £2,400, making £4,800. He thought
thou gentlemen had not well oonstdiared tbei subject.
He (Mr. 001 e) wanted it to be known that a Sobool
Board ednostlon was not • godless, bet religious one,
In which all denominations could join. He knew •

to leave, the friends dangled to offer him some slight

sobeniptiou eollected, and be had now great pleasure
In pretesting to him the following addreee and the
