NA I'IONAL EDUCATION.

A general meeting of the members of the Society for
Promoting ChriFtian Knowledge in connection with the
question of National Education was held yesterday in St.
James's Hall, the Lord Bishop of Rochester in the chair.
The Venerable Archdeacon Bickersteth, 'on behalf of
the standing committee, proposed the first resolution,
"That
.regard being had to the urgency of the
present crisis on the matter of elementary education,
The Standing Committee recommend that a grant of
money, not exceeding .{.:10,G01 be applied befoie January
Ist, 1871, to the building and enlarging of schools in
connection with the Church of England, and the
erection of teachers' residences, the grant to be ad-
ministered by the Standing Committee, with an
instruction to accept cases which have been
administered by the National Society, when it shall appear
that that society has not been able to make adequate
grants ; as well as other cases that may appear to the
standing committee to be deserving." The Archdeacon,
in submitting this resolution, said that Mr. Forster's
educational scheme had been a matter of careful conside-
ration, and, though the society were not disposed to be
lavish in their enconiums on that measure, they thought it
due to say that it was conceived in the very large and compre-
hensive spirit for which that gentleman was so conspicuous.
The future of the Church of England depended to a large
extent on the efforts which its members might make
within the next few weeks. And if they did not unite as
one man, those principles would materially suffer. There
were two questions requiring their serious consideration.
The one was in reference to the voluntary, and the other
in connection with the rating system, the latter rested
upon law, and the former on faith ; therefore it was he
believed the voluntary system would be dying.
Dr. Barry, principal of King's College in the absence of
Mr. W. H. Smith, seconded the resolution.
In reply to a question from a gentleman present, Arch-
deacon Bickersteth stated that the amount in question
was drawn from the capital account.
The resolution was then put and carried unanimously.
