MR. PHILIP STANHOPE WORSLEY, the translator
of the "Odyssey," and author of many poems contributed
to Blacicwood's Magazine, is, we regret to observe, recently
announced as deceased. Mr. W orsley was educated at the
Cholmeley School, Highgate, and at Corpus.
WORKMEN'S HOMES.--It is only the first step
that costs, says the old adage. Here we have not only the
first step but a fait accompli, a model, an exemplaire. In
what way can the system be applied in England ? It
seems to us in many ways. It might be tried in the first
place by manufacturers, who, like M. Godin-Lemaire,
employ a large number of men. Again, why should it
not be adopted by railway companies, who have termini
and stations in our over-crowded towns ? Surely,
with a very little outlay, they might be able to con-
struct cheap commodious dwellings for their employes on
the confines of their premises. M. Godin's model need not
be followed in every particular; still tenements might be
constructed conveniently fitted up, which would prove an
attraction to the class of persons engaged on their works,
and pay a handsome dividend to the shareholders. And
again, why should not companies be formed, adhering
strictly to M. Godin's system, and building spacious pro-
mises, adapted to develope the moral and physical health of
the inmates of every age ? Once a-Week.
NATIONAL EDUCATION SOCIETY.—Yesterday the
third triennial festival of this society was celebrated
by an afternoon choral service in Westminster Abbey, at
which the Bishop of Lincoln preached on behalf of the
institution. The objects of this society may be brieflystated
as entirely directed towards the education of the poor, and
above all in their religious instruction in the tenets of the
Church of England as opposed to bare secular teaching.
This latter principle and the principle that the Church
ought not to leave the education of the poor to any Govern-
ment, it may be said, is the basis of the society's existence.
It has been established since the year 1811. As the insti-
tution has progressed so it has extended the sphere of its
usefulness and its operations. It now has six distinct
branches, or rather objects, which it is carrying out with
considerable success. The first of these is to unite with
them poor schools in all parts of England and Wales, and
no less than 12;500 have been thus affiliated. The second
purpose is to build school-rooms and teachers' residences
in different parishes, and in carrying out this pqrtion of
their duty the society has spent nearly £400,000. Building
London and provincial colleges for training teachers is the
principal object which the society has in view, and in this
direction their efforts have been most successful. Three
colleges in London *are the society's own property. To
22 diocesan or provincial colleges also it has voted large
building grants, and altogether under this head the society
has invested nearly £60,000. In the maintenance of Lon-
don colleges for teachers the society has been put to an ex-
pense since its establishment of nearly £250,000. To 14
colleges in the country it makes yearly grants, and all the
money thus bestowed the society considers as being in-
vested in the best possible Manner ; for, in the
absence of qualified teachers, school-rooms, books,
apparatus, and appliances are almost useless. ' To carefully
select books for the instruction of the young is another
branch to which the National Society has directed its at-
tention, and voted upwards of £3,000 in donation of such
volumes. In connection with this branch of operations is
an establishment for maintaining London and provincial
book establishments. County depositories have been estab-
lished, and no less than £13,000 has been expended in car-
rying out this object alone. The annual income of the
society is between £14,000 and £15,000 a year, but this
sum, even with the aid which was occasionally given from
other sources, is scarcely adequate to keep the society on
such a footing as would enable it to comply with the many
demands made upon it. The triennial service of yesterday
in Westminster Abbey was the third which has been held.
Among others present were his Grace the Archbishop of
Dublin, the Bishop of Peterborough, the Bishop of Sodor
and Man, Lord Lyttleton, Sir T. Phillips, Mr. J. Talbot,
the Rev. B. Leighton, Archdeacon Bickersteth, &c. The
service was intoned by the Rev. Mr., Jones, and the
Chorus Li Rev
Canon Hawkins read the lessons. The choir Was composed
