The WOrkingman.

Many who have never doubted the
enormous value of higher education
when applied to their own individual
cases and their own class. will yet ques-
ton whether we are not running a risk
that we are not justified IN running
when we offer to the working classes
the same advantages, adapted TO the
peculiarities of their requirements. we
often hear it said that III our grand
fathers time better wOrkmen could be
found who could neither read nor write
than it is possible TO find now among
those who have the advantages of the
three RS, and this degeneration is in
vaiiably attributed to that broad backed
scape-y goat "Education:" nor is any at
tempt made to ascertain whether this
falling off may not be traced to some
entirely different source. Whether ed
ucation is TO the advantage or the detrl-
ment of the working classes Is a ques-
ton that the workingman has taken en-
tirely into his own hands by simply say
ing, Il will have education myself. and
will see that my children have it
1t is all very well for those whose
time is their own, TO say there is moth
ing very creditable in a mans joining a
class at some polytechnic school Tor
one or two evenings during the week.
1t is sometimes urged that his only al
tentative to spending his evening In
probably a small and crowded room, is
to spend it in the public house. A state
ment more wide of the mark has rarely
been uttered. and only tends to show
the epeaker's complete ignorance OF
the nature of the man be Is dealing
with The man who is honestly trying
to improve his condition and educa-
ton, is not so utterly destitute
of resource in himself that the
public house is the only recre-
alton open to him during his spare
time. He has plenty of other occuDa-
tions and engagements for his leisure,
and is giving up great deal, when he
voluntarily sacrifices one or two of hiG
short evenings during the week to en-
deavor to improve himself. He knows,
however, the value of the sacrifice,
makes it coolly and deliberately, and q,
if he is really the man l am trying TO
describe, does not shrink from 1t or
think Of turning back, but cheerfully
smothers any regrets that may rise Tor
congenial occupations and pleasures
which he has thought fit TO relinq
innocent though they may have been,
while probably not improving. -,
As rule, most of the men who avail
themselves of the workingmen col
leges do so as soon as they have reached
the lowest age at which such admission
is possible. This is but another proof,
if any were required. of their eagerne' S

released three months ago, after serving
