THE REVISED CODE.

Earl GRANVILLE said, in fulfilling the promise he had
given last evening, he would proceed shortly to state the
alterations the Government proposed to make in the Revised
Code of Education. Tho substance of the alterations pro-
posed was that 4s. a-year was to be given on the
average yearly attendance of each pupil. The
next alteration was that with respect to reading,
writing, and arithmetic 85., was t,) be given for every pupil
who had attended 200 times subject to a deduction of one-
, hird, in case they failed in these attendances. The modifica-
tions, in regard to the exauining children in books as, that
the pupil would be examined according to the standards laid
down by the committee of the Privy ouneil, in the man-
ner that the managers should consider most reasonable, and
with regard to pupil teachers, the noble earl repeated what
had been stated in the other house, to the effect that there
should be a lien on the grant to the amount of their stipends;
and in the event of that grant being found insufficient, lio-
vernmeut would make up the deficiency. He did not look
upon these alterations as improvements, but they had been
made with a view of meeting that which appeared to be the
general wish in another place. He thanked God they did
not live under an absolute Government, and that they were
able to make these concessions, although theydid not entirely
approve of them. He thought that if any further concessions
were made the whole scheme would be entirely worthless, be-
cause there would be a very great outcry without any ade-
quate return. Her Majesty's inspectors had appealed to
him to defend them against any aspersions that might be
made against them, but as far as the discussion had pro-
ceeded he did not recollect that any words than those of
praise and approbation had been used, and h.-, bore his tes-
timony to these able men who had faithfully acted upon
the instructions that then existed.

Lord BELPER repudiated the idea that he intended to
cast aspersions on those valuable and able public servants.
Earl STAN HOPE said he should retrain from any re-
marks until he had the alterations before him in a printed
form.
