bridge for the eirktßishmftt of • degree examination,

That • coramunieation be made to the nobleman and to

ance of eimisse being introduced into that waxers
assigning • time (for instance, Lady-day, 18691, after which
period it shall not be necessary for any exercises to be set

the translation of any portions of Latin prom into Greek
prose, in any of tie schools comprised in the bill. 3rd.
That the modern languages be placed on an equality with
the under-mentor of a public school by limiting say in-
terfmence with his privileges to the beadketeater of the
schooL 4th. That attendance at church of England

cries, shall net be compulsory ea school boys whom pments
or guardian object to their attendance on each mole-
sisstical okeervanote. sth. Thatf modern language'

within school hours.
Mr. DIME recommended that any attack that was me
&
should be upon the universities rather than the schools
Sir Wsierworrif Dans thought the great paint wee to
educate the public up to the requirements of university
education. It was • grave question in his mind whether
parliamentary influence would much advance reform to
the matter.; once let the question be forced upon the
public mind, and it would aliens the attentios of all
classes and all authorities. While agreeing thoroughly
with the prepositions that bad been made, especially with
regard to the teaching of modern languages, he very much
doubted the propriety of parliamentary interference.
Mr. SRAM urged that the attack which had been &p-
-etered necessary should be made upon the university au-
thorities ; and that the universities could not be consi-
dered seats of national education until dissenters were
placed upon an equality with churchmen.
Mr. RUTSON enumerated amongst the evils now felt
at Oxford the number of sinecure cakes that re-
tarded reform amongst the members, and pro-
duced a great lack of earnestness in the work
of education ; the large clerical party that monopolised
nearly all the fellowships, and that naturally opposed all
reform ; the small number of fellowships, and the under-
paying of tutors. He complained that there was not a
scholarship given for proficiency in modern literature, and
only three or four for proficiency in physical science.
Priem should be given for these acquintioes as well as
for eiusical attainments : and there should be professors
of English and modern literature, and more professors of
physical Kipp*. On the whole, be thought matters were
in • bopeharlehte, and that Oxford would retain her piano
at the head of the educational establishments of the
country. The religious examinations were a mere faros,
sad generally led to irreverence in the youths examined.
Mr. F. Hti.t thought it was time the cramped reatrie-
Cons of the universities were removed, as they deprived
them of their right to the high title they were pe-
sumptive enough to take. He demurred entirely to their
right to be called univerdties. The Scotch universities he
instanced as places thxt produced men who in after life
turned their studies to much more practical account than
men coining from Oxford or Cambridge. Every study of
importance should be provided for in the universities.
The propositions made by Mr. Heywood could only be re-
sented as instalments. What was wanted was that the
portals of the universities should be so opened that others
besides the silver-spoon clan could enter them.
Mr. W. COOXL TAYLOR. considering that the unieer-
, allies produced the teachers of the nation, thought the
efforts of educational reformers should be directed to
influencing them. He doubted whether the writing of
Latin and Greek Tenses was the best way of getting en
insight into the beauties of the languages, his experience
being that the contrary was the result. No one thought
the bust way of learning French and German was to emu-
late the French and German poets.
The Rev. nouns Livelier urged that if the schools
endowed for the poor, but appropriated by the middle
classes, could be brought back to their legitimate use,
there would be a succession of links from the lowest to
the highest places of education, and the poorest boy would
have the chance of rising to the topmost position.
Mr. Rcreon explained that verses really had but little
weight at Oxford ; and at Marlborough at least they were
entirely dispensed with if the boy showed no proficiency in
them. In truth be believed the verse bubble was pretty
well exploded. Before we could have a healthy univer-
sity reform in Oxford we must turn out the idle men who
made the university into a slab.
Mr. iIIgTWOOD having replied, the paper was ordered to
be printed and referred to the standing committee.
Mr. Hormsoe (the chairman) summed up the discussion,
end the proceedings terminated with • vote of thanks to
both lecturer and chairman.
