LAMES AND GENTLEMEN,—I have re-
solved to withdraw my candidature for one of the seven
Marylebone seats at the London School Board ; because I find
that the classes of voters whom I hoped to represent, will be
fully represented without me, at any rate in your district.
Professor Huxley, Mr. Cremer, Mr. Dixon, Miss Garrett, and
Mr. Guedella, occupy the ground : and I would not put their
chances of success in jeopardy, much as I hate been encouragid
to proceed by the many distinguished gentlemen who had joined
my committee, and the electors who had promised me their
votes.
With the expression of my cordial thanks to these friends and
supporters, I beg to subscribe myself

Your faithful Servant,
BLANCIIIR.D JERROLD.

LONDON SCHOOL BOARD.
MARYLEBONE DIVISION.

To THE RATEPAYERS OF THE DIVISION

ELECTORS,
At the request of Inhabitant Ratepayers of each of
tho four Parishes, I submit myself as a Candidate for a seat at
the London School Board. . .

I desire that every child in England be educated, and that the
education be as complete as may be consistent with the age at
which he must enter upon the business of life.
I cannot deem any education complete which does not include
religious subjects. 1 desire that the Bible be not only read but
taught : And am convinced that the Education Actemax_be.
loyally and honestly carried out without any violation of the

rights- of conscience. ,
I can devote to your service abundant leisure ; and if, in the
course of events, I return to parliamentary life, Itrust that your
interests will not suffer from the opportunity thus afforded of
defending the Education Act against unwise attack, while advo-
cating every reform which experience may hereafter recom-
mend. _ _

I am, your obedient Servant,
FRANCIS SHARP POWELL.
