The Free School in England.

Half century Of progress in popular
education in England has eliminated in
free public schools. The DEVELOPMENT
has been slow and English conservatism
has resisted the demand TO the last, but 1t
could not prevent the working out OF a
natural process OF evolution. Fifty years
ago the first grant In aid Of elementary
education was made by parliament From
that beginning Of $4,000 year there
has been steady increase until under the
elementary education act passed by the
house of lords Friday and now a law,
$4,000, 900 annually will be Appropriated.
For thirty years the development was COM
paratiyely slight and scattered. Then
came the great act carried through in 1870
by Forster, which gave the government
systematic control Of public instruction.
Unsectarian schools were provided and
attendance was made compulsory ON all
children between five and thirteen years
of age, and every parish was compelled to
provide sufficient accommodations for its
children. This was q great gain over all
former educational laws in England, but
IL still required fee 70 be taken from
every scholar, only allowing local school
boards to remit II in special cases where
extreme poverty would Justify It.
The law Of 1870 has remained practical

act changes u only by abolishing the fe'
system, except In few special cases
