Middle-Class Examinations in Devonshire.

The annual distributioi; of prizes and certificates
obtained by candidates from the Exeter centres, in
connexion with the Oxford and Cambridge Univer-
sities, took place on Thursday, at the Guildhall,
Exeter. Earl Fortescue presided, and there were
present the Right Hon. Sir Stafford Northcote,
M.P., the Right Hon. Robert Lowe, M.P. (who is
the guest of the right hon. baronet at Pynes), Sir
J. Kennaway (High Sheriff of Devon), Mr. Head,
(Mayor of Exeter), Sir J. Bowring, Mr. J. W.
Walrond, M.P.,'Mr. T. D. Acland, M.P., Mr. Edgar
B owring, and Piebendaries Mackarness and Brereton.
Earl FORTESCUE, in an elaborate speech, traced
the history of middle-class examinations, and the
rise of county schools. In Devonshire, he observed,
they could point to a most successful county school,
at West Buckland, which building had received the
magnificent gift of £l,OOO from his Grace the Duke
of Bedford, and other amounts, some from his own
relatives, bringing the total of endowments to more
than £3,000. The middle-class examinations had
been of great use by inspiring many sluggish private
and grammar schools into activity, and been the
means of bringing to light many a conscientiously
hardworking schoolmaster hitherto unappreciated,
save by his own lads or their parents. The complaint
of Dr. Arnold in 1832 that there was no secon-
dary education could not now be made, and
the country had recognised its national im-
portance. The funds for the education of the coun-
try might be said to be derived from three sources—
the State's aid, the payment of parents, and endow-
ments from the present or past generations. He
knew that with regard to State aid there were many
persons impressed with the desirableness of increas-
ing the amount of the Government grants, not only
in extending lower-class education, but upwards
for the middle class. Much had been written in
favour of this, and a good deal might be said for it
in such countries as Germany and the United States,
where lads of all grades associated together ; but
he did not think in this country, where an opposite
system had prevailed, that an extension which would
be considered eleemosynary should be given. The
lavish grants of Government were now diminished,
and Government now demanded results before the
money was paid. His own impresssion was that the
old system had tended to give parents an idea they
were the least interested parties in the education of
their children. The question of endowment was one
of the most important, and at the same time most
delicate and most difficult, which the Royal Com-
mission had to consider and report upon. The pious
munificence of our ancestors had provided in past
times not only the two great Universities of Oxford
and Cambridge, with numerous and magnificent col-
leges, but also a number of colleges and grammar
schools, in which the education of the highest, and a
considerable proportion of the middle classes, was
conducted. It was not the money value of these ancient
institutions which rendered them so valuable and so
useful to those who were sent there, but the traditional
glory of the place and the associations connecting
them with past generations, which had a decided in-
fluence for good upon all those within them susceptible
of such influences. Owing, however, to a greaterpro-
portion of these grammar schools being intended to
be connected with the Universities, and the habits
of life and the studies of the middle classes having
changed, there was no longer on their part the same
readiness to take advantage of these schools, espe-
cially those in which Latin was made a sine qua non,
as in times past. Many of these endowments had
therefore fallen into disuse, and others had been
shamefully jobbed and mismanaged. His earnest
hope was that her Majesty's Commissioners would
report upon some scheme for turning to better ac-
count the scattered resources now lying dormant for
educational purposes, and that they would not allow
a consideration for vested interests—and the influ-
ence which was sure to be brought to bear upon them
on this question—to induce them to seek to patch up
the present system. It was in his opinion far better
that they should wait until existing vested interests
had died .out, or the parties been pensioned, than
that they should attempt to galvanise dead corpses
into an imitation of life. His lordship then spoke of
the success which had attended the middle-class local
examination scheme. The two Universitieswerevery
nearly equal in the number of candidates. At
Christmas for Cambridge there 'were 1,217, of
whom 986 were juniors and 231 seniors. For Ox-
ford, in May and June, there were 1,224, of who"
905 were juniors and 319 seniors, being a slight
increase on those of the previous years, while those
of Cambridge were an increase of 50 per cent. on
the juniors and 28 per cent. on the seniors.

two dear departed friends were called on to conduct
an examination when they had no standard to appeal
to, and great difficulty in arranging any details.
The Universities were certainly the best authorities
to undertake the duty of conducting the examina-
tions. Those who had received prizes should know
and feel that great interest was taken throughout the
country in the work. Unless, however, they were
pursuing their studies with some object they were
doing nothing at all. People usually regarded educa-
tion in one of two lights. The one was that &Ileum-
