THE RUTLAND HERALD
The New schooisystem OF England.

The Parliament of England at its last
session made radical changes in the edu-
oational system of England. The general
impression prevails that these changes are
for the better, but no very accurate ac-
count of their working has yet been given.
By the terms of the act passed the utmost
liberty is granted to all to proselyte youth,
and at the same time conscience is not
unduly interfered with. Any person, as
ISOLATION or sect may establish a public
school, which, SO long as it complies with
the requirements Of the law and comes up
to the standard OF the government in
speotion, may lawfully claim from the
government one-half of the expense of
maintaining it. Each school may or may
not, at its option, supply religious in
struction, which, however, must not
occupy more than a certain num-
Der of hours each day, parents
being at liberty to withdraw their child
no UNCONVENTIONAL schools, or inadequate
ones, the taxpayers are directed to elect
a School Board to supply and manage the
required schools. These are to be sup
ported one-half by local taxation and one
half by governmental contribution, and
in them there are no religious instruction,
save the reading of tho Bible, without
note or comment. Local boards may COM
pei the attendance of children, and in case
OF inefioiency may be placed and replaced
by others under the supervision of gov
eminent. This seems to be a liberal foun-
dation for school system optional with
the people. The people on this side of
the Atlantic will look with some degree of
interest at the practical working of this
new system.

Now that we had not seen the flames for q
time, they appeared broader, stronger,
more voracious. 1t was difficult to tear
oneself away from the fearfully grand
spectacle, and yet it must be. The viii
layers we met professed to know which
parts of the city would be saved from the
flames. We strove to believe their assur-
ance that the precincts of the cathedral,
above all itself, would remain uninjured.
And yet for moment it had seemed to
us that the cathedral terrace, which had
been made the observatory Of the enemy,
was on fire. 1t was, however, an illusion.
