Every, person ,who heard or has read Mr. C.
13ur.L an's speech, on Wednesday, on the educa-
, , ,nas
educa-
tion, qtystion, been much struck by the follow-
ing passage :
Whenever I contemplate the o 1 d'tion of the working
classes—the deep and dark gulf thatcn separates them from
the knowledge and the sympathies of their superiors in for-
tune, the utter ignorance in which we are of their feelings
and wants, the little influence which we have over their
conduct, and the little hold which we appear to have on
their affcctions—l shrink with terror from the wild pas-
sions and dense ignorance that appear to be fermenting in
that reass of physical force. We see vast portions of them
utterly neglected, utterly uninstructed, and plunged in de-
bauchery during the intervals of toil. Among another and
yet wider class, we may observe the spread of thought yet more
pernicious, and the intercommunication of sympathies yet
more menacing. Sometimes the murmur of their discontent
and ignorance assumes an articulate form, and speaks in the
accents of the disciples of Thom, the followers of Stephens,
and the millions whose creed is Chartism ; for such are
the instructors to whom you leave the minds of the
people. Some learn their religion from a lunatic, in whose
resurrection they believe ; others are taught that every
man has a right to what wages he thinks reasonable, and
that he may enforce his right by the dagger and the torch.
Others learn that rents and profits are a deduction from
wages, and consequently believe that the owners of land
and capital are the plunderers and oppressors of
the workman. These doctrines advance unencoun-
tered by the morality or the simple political
reason which would dispel their influence- This bad in-
struction is allowed to be the only instruction of the poor;
while you, the enlighten3d rulers of this country, whose
property and lives will be the first victims of these terrible,
delusions of the masses, spend, in a squabble about creeds,
the precious time which is rapidly bearing us on to the dark
catastrophe of your culpable folly and neglect. And when
the Gbvernment—the last of civilized governments—
awakened from its torpid neglect of the minds of the peo-
ple, proposes at length to send the schoolmaster among
these dangerous yet teachable masses, the Noble Lord, the
Church, and the Aristocracy, and the great Conservative
party, bar its passage with the Thirty-nine Articles."
Such a picture of our population is, we believe,
tolerably correct. Several of the points, how-
ever, that Mr. BULLER labours most, refer
'to differences of opinion, such as the state-
ment that rents and profits are deductions from
wages, which prevail in society, and which no teach-
ing can eradicate. If, indeed, Mr. BULLER and his
friends mean to include in the School instruction an
ireplicit belief in some doctrines of political eco-
nomy ; if they are to make a new code of thirty-
nine, or any other number of articles referring, not
to religion, hut to the structure of society—if they
are to substitute a political for a religious creed,
they will soon make a considerable num-
ber of persons rally round the standard
which Mr. D'lsnA ELI hoisted, and object alto-
gether to education by the State. Supposing that
Mr. BULLER'S description is tolerably accurate,
that what is really necessary is to link the classes
together, and instruct men in their relative duties
as landlords, capitalists, and labourers, then it is
clear that a totally different system from that which
the Ministers have propounded must be brought
into operation. Supposing, too, that the danger
pointed out by Mr. C. BULLER be real, that plan
is no more calculated to meet and avert it than the
scheme of the National Society. It makes no pro-
vision whatever for instructing the different classes
in their duties, and is as remote from grappling
with the menacing evil as the Spiritual education
patronised by Sir ROBERT PEEL. The evils
pointed out by Mr. BULLER can only be remedied
by the progress of time, and by instructing better
than at present those who are the teachers of the
people.
Under this important aspect we are bound to
call public attention to the fact that by the union
of the Church with the State, the State makes itself
responsible for what the Church teaches. As long
as the two are separated, and as long as the chapel
is wholly supported by voluntary subscription, the
State has no more to do with what the minister of
that chapel teaches than with what is taught at
mechanics' institutions ; but when it endows a
Church, when it selects the professors of one creed
for favour, when it bestows on them politi-
cal privileges, and secures to them a large
revenue, when it gives to them the monopoly of the
Colleges, and of some schools, it is bound to take
measures that the persons to whom it thus entrus s
. the education of the people are themselves qualifi
