THE _REVISED LODE.

Last night Mr. Walpole laid on the table of the
House of Commons the folowing resolutions, which
he intends to move in committee of the whole

house :

" 1. That where it is proposed to give Govern-
ment aid to elementary schools it is inexpedient
that the whole amount of such aid should depend
upon the individual examination of each child in
reading, writing, and arithmetic.
"2. That the system of grouping by age for
the purpose of examination would be unequal in
its operation and an inadequate test of the work
done in the schools, and specially disadvantageous
to those children whose early education has been
neglected.
"3. That the provisions of the Revised Code
in the points referred to in the foregoing reso-
lutions would, if unamended, increase the diffi-
culty of extending the benefits of the Government
grants to poor and neglected districts.

" 4. That the refusal of any portion of the parlia-
mentary grant on account of children who have
once passed the highest class of examination is
likely to have an injurious effect, as tending to
aggravate the acknowledged evil of the withdrawal
of children from elementary schools at an early age.
" 5. That it is expedient that the capitation grant
on account of children under seven years of age,
should be made to depend on the individual exami-
nation of those children.

" 6. That the provisions of the Revised Code with
regard to evening schools are unsatisfactory, inas-
much as the master, in many cases, would be una-
ble, after the labour undergone in the day, ade-
quately to attend to the management and teaching
of the evening scholars.
" 7. That the regulations contained in the Re-
vised Code with regard to pupil-teachers are unjust
and impolitic.
" 8. That it would be unjust entirely to with-
hold the other benefits of the Parliamentary grant
from such managers of schools as decline to under-
take to provide and pay the stipends and gratuities
now severally payable on account of pupil-
teachers during the continuance of their current
apprenticeship.

"9. That it would be impolitic to run the risk
of a return to the monitorial system, by discouraging
the employment of pupil-teachers, and that such
employment would be better promoted by pecuniary
premiums than by pecuniary penalties.
" 10. That, in January of each year if the code
be revised, or any material alterations in it be
necessary, it shall be printed in such a form as to
show separately all articles cancelled or modified
and all new articles.

" 11. That, in the event of such revision or altera-
ion as mentioned in the last foregoing resolution,
A shall not be lawful to take any fiction thereon
until the same shall have been submitted to Par.
liament and laid on the table of both houses for at
least one calendar month."
