OPERATION OF GODLESS COLLEGES IN FRANCE.—
We said at the beginning of this article that schools were
amongst the solemn realities of life. It is impossible, as
we think, to overrate their civil, and political, and religious
importance. The fierce outcry against the measure of
the present Government is but a just compliment to the
transcendent importance of the question of popular edu-
cation, for the men of a country are but its grown-up
schoolboys. Our advocacy of schools of all kinds, how-
ever, is directed more to their moral than their literary
structure : the latter is easily attainable, and is so much
a matter of course that it seems difficult to conceive hoy .
a man can be impudent enough to offer to teach what he
himself does not understand ; the former element, there-
fore—the moral machinery—is the real cause of the con-
tention, and is the " one thing needful," whether in the
schools of the poor or the rich. Very few can or need be
made good scholars ; but all can be, and need to be,
grounded in the principles of religion and virtue. The
education which does not primarily aim at this, recognis-.
big by its specific arrangements that it is an integral
element in the constitution of the school, we hold to bal
radically defective. The natural means of creating a
nation of infidels are to fill its schools with infidel or
semi-infidel teachers. We may wonder at the open dis-
regard expressed for religion by the men and women of
Prance ; but the wonder ceases the moment we under-
stand the character of its schools and universities. We
deem this topic so full of instruction to ourselves, as
teaching by example, that we shall draw largely upon Dr,
Wordsworth's proofs of the moral condition of Frenck
schools and universities :—" Since the time of this visi
to the college of Louis le Grand, I have made enquiries
in various quarters concerning the moral character of
their Parisian schools, and I regret to say that in no case
has the report been a favourable one. I cannot but feel/
some hesitation in making the statement which I have
done with respect to the morality of their great establish-
ments, the colleges of Paris. I am not only recording
the result of private enquiries, but am echoing, and that
very faintly, the language of the official report of nine
chaplains of their colleges themselves to their ecclesias-
tical superiors, in the year 1830, the terms of which are
so serious and fearful that it may well be considered a
matter of surprise . that these colleges should now be
overflowing with vast numbers of students who resort to
them : indeed, that they should be accredited places of
education for the youth of this great country." The
following are extracts from the report :—" The opinions
we have now to express do not refer to one college more
than another, nor are they of mere local or special con-
cern. We are filled with sentiments of despondency an&
horror, which no words can express, when we reflect on
the almost utter futility of our office, although we have
spared neither pains nor study to render it effective. It
is not indifference or the force of passion which leads
them to a general forgetfulness of God ; it isparitiveinfi. .
daily. In fact, how can we expect they should believe
in God when they see such contempt for religion, and
when they listen every day of their lives to lectures of so-
contradictory a character, and when they find Christianity--
no where but at chapel ; and then, too, an empty Chr;sti-
anity of bare forms and technical -routine ? 'They .arrive
at the age of fifteen without any rule for their thoughts,
and without any rein for their actions, except an exterior
discipline which they abhor, and masters whom they trend:
as mercenaries; and, at length, when the course of their
studies is complete, of those who issue from the college/4
the average number of the students who have preserves
their religion to the end of their career does not ammo&
to more nail One student from every college in euth
