SCRIPTURAL AND INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION

IN IRELAND.
ALARGE and influential Meeting of the various
Christian denominations of Liverpool was held in St.
George's Presbyterian Church, on Tuesday evening last,
to hear from the Rev. Dr. Dill, of Ireland, details of the pro-
gress of that religious and educational ement in
Connaught and Munster, which has of lat een awakening
such deep and general interest.
It appears from the statements of . Dill, and others, not
only at the above meeting, but last eek, before the Evange-
lical Alliance, met in this town that a number of private
individuals, of various Protestan persuasions, and in different
parts of the United Kingdom ave, for the last four years,
been conducting, in that re ote region, a most interesting
experiment, and with the st wonderful results.—That seve-
ral thousand Roman Catl is children, whom they found in
the deepest ignorance ap degradation, are now receiving a
most thorough Scriptural and general education.—That the
girls are trained in various kinds of needle-work, embroidery,
netting, crotchet, &c., and annually sending several thousand
pounds worth of work to the British market.—That the boys
are taught an improved system of agriculture, fishing, &c., by
means of model farms, boats, and tackle, gratuitously fur-
nished them.—That thus a large number, who would other-
wise have been burdens or pests to the country, are now
supporting themselves and their parents, and growing up in
the knowledge and fear of God.—And all that is necessary to
the indefinite extension of this machinery, in that province, is
the requisite funds.
So fully were the meeting convinced, by Dr. Dill's lucid
statement, that the above admirable scheme was just what the
ignorant unemployed masses in Ireland needed, that they
appointed the undersigned a Committee to aid him in his en-
deavours to make it known to the Christian people of England,
and obtain for it their countenance and support in whatever
mode they may prefer.
As oAe means of discharging this duty, we would respect-
fully call their ' attention to the above facts; and for further
information refer them to Dr. Dill's statements, on the afore-
mentioned questions, as reported in yesterday's Courier. And
we are persuaded they will feel with us, that it is not only the
duty but the interest of the English people to encourage any
scheme which aims at training the Irish in such virtuous and
industrious habits as would save our towns from being bur-
dened with their pauperism and polluted with their crimes.
It appears that the annual average expense of one of these
schools, containing
.one hundred scholars, is the extremely
small sum of £2O; in other words, that £1 will educate five
children for a year. Now, it is a matter of easy calculation
that, were the hundreds of thousands our English towns are
obliged to spend yearly in merely supporting these creatures
given to such an agency as this to instruct them, it would,
besides other far higher blessings, soon arrest a vexatious
drain on our resources, to which, otherwise, we can see no
termination ; but of which Ireland's growing wretchedness
ensures the constant and rapid increase.
We shall only, at present, add, that the Council of the Evan-
gelical Alliance have instructed their Secretary to write a letter
to Dr. Dill, expressing their deep interest in the above scheme,
and strongly commending it to the sympathy of the Christians
of Great Britain.
Subscriptions and Donations will be thankfully received and
acknowledged b) WILLIAM GARDNER, Esq., Treasurer, at
his Office, 5, North John-street; and by Dr. DILL, at No. 8,
St. Anne-street; or any Member of the Committee.
