PROGRAMM

ANTI-CR AIMING.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES.
Sir,—Whether your correspondent of the 13th,
" Anti-Cramming,' be an Oxonian or • a Cantab,
who, notwithstanding his " cramming," was plucked
at the University, or could not pass even his prior
" Little-go," is best known to himself ; but not only
of the new I and you, Mr. Editor, but " Anti-Cramming" him-
submitted by self, knows that the honours sought at the Oxford
Majesty:— middle-class examinations cannot be obtained with-
out proofs being afforded of a certain amount of
education having been realised by the applicant, and
having been exhibited to the satisfaction of the

Like the cry political of " register, register,
register," which stunned us with its repetition, the
cry universal for years has been " educate, educate,
educate ;" and now, when the University has yielded
one of its prejudices, and steps down from its high
throne of exclusiveness to meet the exigency, offering
the stimuli of cheapness, facility, and a distinctive
honour, in answer to the" cry, and attempts to
advance the rising generation in improved education,
it is surely not only out of nlApc, 4 -A _ _

that " Anti-Cramming" should step into your
columns, and, with sarcasm and irony, scatter his
ice-water on the attempt to fulfil an obligation
undertaken at the call of an educated public, number-
ing among ita members men of the highest mark, as
well in education as in science anal 71.1(11.n 1 n

unzu murals. .111 0
doubt " Anti-Cramming" would prefer sending sons
to the University of Oxford or Cambridge; but how
few parents are there who, with every aspiration for

tne aavantage, have pecuniary means to
accomplish this, the first and most ardent wish of
every parent embued with a proper sense of his
duties and responsibilities. Does it become, then,
any man of a right-thinking mind to dash cold water
on the first and best attempt to carry out a principle
loudly and repeatedly called for by the voice poten-
tial of an all but universal public No ;to the
P— flf.d •

meanies now presented let every parent add his
influence, and assist in furthering the object of the
Universities in improving that " wishy-washy,"
superficial, quasi instruction of previous days,
magniloquently designated " education."
What would I, now a septuagenarian, have given
for the benefits of an University education in my
youth,—nay, what would I not have given for the
very opportunity that is now offered. Lives there
a man who cannot appreciate the blessings of advance-
ment in knowledge and in its acquisition ? It would
almost so seem, or " Anti-Cramming" would not
have essayed his interposition to obstruct the
attempt to instil into the youthful mind higher
aspirations, and draw it from the (perhaps criminal)
frivolities of boyhood into a channel pointing to the
utilities of the present and the blessedness of the
future
If

- Anti-Cramming " will take a proper view of
the important question of education, I think he will
regret having made a public attempt to throw a
doubt into the mind of parent and a damper on the
energies of the pupil.---Yours faithfully.
