employers and every one who knew him, Chamberlain:
clerk in Messrs. Grazebrook's glass manufactory. His length

at the census office of the number of schools in the eotintric
has been far below the reality. The number of forms f°
day-schools sent to Glasgow at first was 800, for adult even'

but it was found necessary to increase the number for dal:
schools to 1,500, for adult eveni' g schools to 800, and le`
Sunday-schools to 1,000. —Korth British Mail.
