ASHFORD MECHANICS' I

:NSTI-

Tunos.
There existed a few years ago a rather numerous class of
society, not occupying a very exalted posit • •ion 1n the scale of
human intelligence, but still what might be termed a re-
spectable
class, one distinguishing characteristic of which
was—a great dread of education. They did not know much
themselves, and they considered it an unpardonable piece of
presumption for any one with an empty pocket to School full
ull
head. The marked improvement in the Al 3 C
the poor, far as that improvement fa!ls short of what it ought
to be, was the first thing that drove these objectors half de-
mented; but when Mechanics' Institutes began to spread,
and the tradesman and artizan dared to employ the time,
once devoted to the pipe and the glass, in listening to scien-
tific lectures, or in studying political economy, then in-
deed their disdain and amazement knew no bounds.
Now, perhaps, their wisest course would have been to
o
have attempted, out of the resources of a moderate
furnished but little-used library, to keep in advance
of Mechanics' Institutes and their frequenters.
anti-
:But,
alas! this would have driven the advocates of
quated prejudice sadly out of their usual routine. So they
adopted the much easier plan of vilifying and traducing ;
and one of the commonest accusations brought against Me-
chanics' Institutes was, that they were unfavourable to, or
substituted human knowledge for, religion, and that in pro-
per io I•; the lecture-room was attended, the church would
be deserted. In effectual confutation of these charge., we
point triumphantly to such lectures as the one delivered

perusal of that lec-

far from being the antagonist, may be most advantageously
employed as the able handmaid of religion.
