The timid hand stretched forth 10 aid

And holy trust and high,
Those hands have claspcd, those lips have metz
These things shall never die.
The cruel and the bitter word
That wounded as IL fell,
The chilling want Of sympathy
We feel but never tell.
The hard rcpulse that chills The heart
Whose hopes were bounding highi
IN an unfading record kept
These things shall never die.

PRIMARY EDUCATION IN ENGLAND The
statistical Blne-eoek lately published by the
British Board of Trade exhibits in a tabular
form the present state of primary education
ia Great Britain. From this table we learn
that the number of schools inspected has in
creased from :, SIS in 1854, to 1888 in 1856: the
number OF children tho can be accommodated
from 5Ss, 900 to !, ,i2 .OO0 the average number of
children in attendance from 46l 600 to l,Os2 OOO
and the number of children present at inspec-
tion from 473,000 to 1887, 200.
There are also large number of schools
throughout the Kingdom which do not receive
Government assistance, and are not visited by
the inspectors. The number OF children in
such schools is probably less than that in the
schools OF the other class.
From the same source we learn that the ex-
penditure by the state for public education has
increased from f1S9,0OO in 1852 to fsl3OOO in
1861. In 1863 the grants under the Revised
Code com meDced, and amounted to f-3 900 ont
OF total expenditure of t72I,0OO. In 1866 the
grants under the Revised Code had ad yanced
to t402 0C0, out Of total expenditure Of
f6ss,OOO
Since 1852 the population Of Great Britain
has increased by two and half millions The
total population is more than twenty -four and
half millions. 1t will be readily seen that
the appliances for educating the young Britons
are IN adeq nate. that they have not Increased

that Mr.. Fawcett and his friends are uuite
