A.
BILL hasl recently been introduced inNthe,
British Rarliament TO promote popular educationg
II is called tho, Endowed Schools bill, and while
it contetHplates 4 light extension Of educational
nriyileges to the poorer classes IL falls far below
the reouirementsa that are deemed essentialinf
the progressive Continental nations and in the
northernsportions OF theiUniUed States. In Eng
land and Wales there are II, ,972 schools for the
moor connected with the Church of England BIT
of these.the Government assisted only 50l7,
leaving 6Q55 entirely unaiaed, and the number of
marshes exceeded by 2737 the number Of
schools. = The theory of the English asys-.
tenn Is that religious and secular
instruction must be combined, and the Govern
meut throws upon the prominent denominations
or charitable societies the responsibility of
taking the initiative in all efforts to educate the
poorer classes. It only doles out the meagre pit
tance of eight shillings for each scholar who
regularly attends the schools which are offclally
inspected. The Parliamentary grants for educa-
lion in England and Wales, from, 1889 TO 1860,
amounted to less than $27,OoO,oO or an average
~ hnt little more than a million and quarter OF
dollars per anntlm. batf1 .1o -,...,
a In 1866 the Parliamentary grants Tor educa-
lion in all portions OF the United Kingdom
amounted 10 but a little more than S3OOoOOo.
In this country single States appropriate much
