MIDDLE-CLASS EDUCATION.

Yesterday • few gentlemen met in the Long Par-
lour of the Kaedm-house, on the invitation of the Rev. W.
Roger', recto: of Bleb ter parish, to discuss thiniad=
piety of takieg steps foe the ,extentioe ci
education in the City of Lashio. Them were present be-
irides the Loin wko presided, Mr. Tito, M.P., Mr.
Oudot, Alderman Copelead, Alderman Bosley, Alderman
Waterlow, Sir Jobe Lubbock. Mr. R. W. Crawford, M.P.,
Mr. T. Chambers. M.P., Mr. Hodgson, M.P.. Yr. W. Gilpin,
Mr. Taykw, the Rev. W. Roger'. and Rev. F. 0. Blemlield.
The Rey. W. BOGUS 1141110616ted a 10101114iCS declaring
the expediency of establishing for those dames in the City
for whose benefit no public education wee now provided,
schools that would fit the scholars for their partioukr walk
in life. He wished it to be dietinotly uoderstood that he did
not desire to interfere with any trust (nada, hat simply that
the trustees should be invited to °omit forward sad ma.
tribute out of the foods at their disposal, and although his
scheme was comprehensive, they might depend upon it that
if they did sot do something ci their own sword, • mock mom
comprebeesive edema would be fared upon them, under
which it was possible that the base foods now applicable te
the City might be made available for relievine the
of Brawl or other distaat suburban m=r
In me they knew that mosey left Is trust for the '
education of the poor •res devoted to the giving at exhi-
bitions at the universities to the sows of the MM. He
did not propose to give a darsl ideation in the school
has suggested, but a sound Emilia' educiatiso, suitable few
the condition in life the children were to occupy. Mr.
Claydoe, the eolleitor to the Attorney-Oersted,
his (Kr. Roger") views es the subject in • p, la=
he mid that the education should be purely English, sr
oladiag Latin, Greek, and the higher mathematics. Be
proposed, if his reselatioe was carried, that a committee
should be formed to take the steps, and com-
municate with the heeding gest= in Oity—erwriese
nod others-4o emerhake bow fee they would he iodised Se
come into seek a scheme. (Haar, hear.)
Mx. and seconded the resolution, obeemieg that
Us upper lower clams. were already well provided for
in the City in the matter el echiestics, whereas for the
middle deem there was no adequate modeles. Imbed,
be knew of no *mato in the world in whisk middiceloca
education meta so much or where the work woe WOW ism
than in Ragland. (Hsu, hear.) The City el London Seheel,
established originally for the middle alms" had sem ter
be • school for classical edweatiou, end he wee lowed he
soy that the education there given was beyond ell Miss
bat it was sot the ideation that wee eatable fm the
better came of mechanise. derkai and small trammel& The
education which was sow obtainable by suck poems wee
very dilutive, sad it of teti to him le
find that when yoemr mew brathe4 middle lime
oune up to be examined
play their qualibeigion few junior
clerkships they could riduet very well, but that
in reading, writing. and the ordinary brooches of education
almost any charity-boy would do bettor. There was we
intuition to interfere with any charity trusts in the Clity,
thau which nothing could be further from his wish, but
simply that with the ocummt of the truism then
funds in their herd' should be appropriated se the
of this great movement.
Mr. Osmium Rooms Inquired
whether it was Wended
to include female as well m male education?
The Rev. IL ROOM limbed that that was his wish, bug
it would he better to Wave all &MAL to the otenmittee.
After some remarks from Mr. Taylor, wbo thought the
relution too hidefluitely worded, mid an observation hem
theso Rev. Yr. Bloosfield, the motion wan pat and rented
unanimeedy.
Mr. Omuor moved that, it appeared then VISO beds
beton* to virgins Oity parishes, companies, mil old.
City bodies, which might be appropriated to the rapport
such schools, oonsomnisatioos should be opened with the
trustee; of each bodies and their 00-operatiou invited.
Alderman WATIMLOW 111100eded this, observing thse there
were various trusts whisk were in thermos for the porpoise
for which they were originally founded, and might be well
appropriated to the object sow in view. For butanes, there
was a trust fund for bulldog heretics—(a laugh)—ead seta
days for boudoir heretics had long sines peered awayle, the II
money might well be spplied in *domain the peop" and
thus getting rid of heresy by a much more pro-
cows than burning a few unfortunate victims.
The motion having been carried,
Mr. Cuorroart, M.P., proposed the eppolatmeet el •
committee to give select to the sebum ; but reserved to
himself the liberty to deal in earliameet with private and
particuler rights se he might 6s hereafter advised.
Mr Jl4O. Lussocc seconded this, which wee likewise
unanimemly adopted, and the following gentlemen were
named as the sesamittee, with power to ad to their num-
ber :—The Lori Mayor • Aldermen Copeland. Watedow,
Finale, and Salomosie.' M.P. ; Mr. Crawford, Y.P., Mr.
