NEW EDUCATIONAL AABOCIATION IN GLASGOW.—
We (North British Moil) are glad to Mare that an amocia-
flop is in the course of beige organised, for the purpose of
affording greater facilities of education to the working men
of this atty. The want of some movement of this kind has
long been felt, and deeply regretted, having for its objects
the iatelleetual improvement of sa Important and intensive
class, by patting within their reach the means of acquiring
the rudimental principles of that *dilation which they had
not the good fortune to obtain in youth. It mast not, how-
ever, be supposed that the education is to be imparted gra-
tuitosaly, as it is proposed to charge a small monthly fee from
each pupil, sufficient to pay the teachers ; and all school room
accommodation, and books, &c., are to be supplicd from a
fund salad by public subscription. This, however, will is itself
be so trifling as to leave no room for any doubt of its being easily
obtained. Associations of a alsallar nature are already is
operation in other large towns, and have met with the most
signal sincess, both in regard to the number of pupils and the
betracial results which have arisen.
