John Bright, the great English states
man, has been making a speech in the
town hall of Rochdale, at the distribu.
ton of certificates of merit among sue
cessful students in science and art. He
rectes many surprising facts in modern
progress, but does not praise the mod
crn system of education in unqualified
terms He says that of the schools
which he attended when boy he has
the pleasantest recollections of the last
one, for it was situated in the valley of
q small river where the pupils spent
much of their time in birds nesting,
fishing, and bathing, and their studies
were not forced on them with undue
harshness. Il did not get much of
what is called education" he says, but
what [ got, would almost say, was
better; because whatever store Of health
