Ay EPOCH IN ENGLISH EDUCATION.

Az EPOCH IN ENGLISH EDUCATION.
The new Education bill, which has been intro
duced into Parliament by Mr.. Birrell and which
will presumably be enacted into law bids fair to
mark epoch in English education if not in
deed, in the very life of the English nation.
With its merits or demerits from either parti-
san or a sectarian point of view we have, of
course, no concern. 1t is Liberal measure and
the Conservatives will oppose it. It is regarded
with approval by the Nonconformist churches.
and the Established and Roman Catholic
churches are denouncing 1t. But so the Liberals
opposed and the Nonconformists denounced the
present law when It proposed. We may
properly regard the controversy with indifer
ence, as one 10 De settled by the English people,
whom alone IT directly concerns. But 1t is not
improper TO speculate, impartially and philOsOph-
ically, on its possible effect upon the character
and genius of the English nation.
Briefly stated, the new bill cOntemplateS not
exactly change from religious to non-religious
instruction. punning critic has called it
neither a religious nor an irreligious but Bir-
religious measure-but at least change from
churchmanship TO non-churchmanship and non
sectaranism, and long way toward entire sec
ulariZatiOn. Indeed, It is regarded by many as
a step which is sure to carry the country in the
not distant future TO a purely secular system of
popular education Roman Catholics and the
EsldDllSueO VIII continue MAINTAIN
parochial schools but these will receive no SUD-
port from the public funds. In most schools
there may still be, on request religious instruc-
ton by the Church, but 1t must be out of regular
school hours and not be given by the regular
teachers.
1t must be remembered that this will be the
first time in English history that such thing
has been known. Before the Reformation prac
tically all grammar schools were chantries of the
churches. Those founded in Tudor and Stuart
times were on religious foundations The char
lty schools of the eighteenth and nineteenth cen
turles were founded upon religious concept of
education The systems of Lancaster and Bell
were not always sectarian, but always re-
/ hgious, and the Royal Lancasteran Society
though Lancaster himself was a Quaker-was
purely an adjunct of the Established Church
When Brougham hailed the "schoolmaster
! abroad he did not divorce the school from the
Church- Sixty years ago a beginning was made
IN non-ecciesihstical education. but the vast IL
OF school machinery continued 10 remain In
clerical hands. Mr.. Forster's great law in 1870
did much for the board or non-eccIesiastical
schools. but 1t still left the Church schools under

THE LINCOLN EARN PARK

Americans, without regard to party or section,
were glad to learn about year ago that the old
Lincoln homestead, near Hodgenville, Ky had
passed into hands which would care for If as a
national memorial At that time the purchaser
Mr. Robert Collier, of this city, seemed TO be
under the impression that the house now on
the farm was the original log cabin of the Lin
coin family, an error which The Tribune helped
to correct. 1t is now known that the Lincoln
cabin, after varied history as a kind of trav-
elling exhibit, is In storage In this city, whence

coming home week" there, after which it will
be sent to the Lincoln farm and re-erected as
nearly as possible its original site.
The farm, it is also gratifying to know, is to
remain permanently in the ownership and care
of the Lincoln Farm Association of which any
American may became member on payment of
a subscription of from 25 cents TO $25. according
TO means and inclination. The association has
already found that the interest in its work Is
so general that it will have difficulty in Sc
curing all the money needed TO reclaim the

POPLLArI0N EAST AND WEST.

Some recent census figures showing the
growth Of different states and sections Of the
Union have been collected by Mr. Henry Gan
nett, Of the Federal Census Bureau. in an ar
tice published in The Bulletin of the Ameri-
can Geographical Society" Since 1900 emil
merations have been made in fourteen states.
Michigan took a census in 1904 and these
other thirteen states-FlOrida Iowa, Kansas.
Massachusetts, Minnesota, New jersey, New
York. North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island,
South Dakota. Wisconsin and Wyoming-took
censuses in 1905. In Florida and Oregon. how
ever, the tabulations have not yet been COM
pleted. The twelve states reporting fan into
four distinct groups. Returns from Massachu-
setts and Rhode Island reflect the general con-
ditions Of growth in New England Those from
New York and New Jersey show the progress
Of the Middle States. Michigan Wisconsin.
Minnesota, Iowa and Kansas may be classed
among the more settled communities of the
Middle West, and North Dakota, South Dakota
and Wyoming among our still undeveloped from
tier commonwealth
The enumeration Of 1905 showed a distinct
check in the ratio of growth maintained for the
last three decades in Massachusetts, That state
gained In population between 1870 and 1890
"a per cent between 1880 and 1880 256 and
between 1880 and 1900 25-3 per cent Rut +be

prosperous community, grew from 1870 to 1900
al a little faster rate than Massachusetts. That
rate averaging little more than % nor con,

since 1900. Rhode Islands gain in the last five

state endowment and thus they have remained
to this day.
Now. If we assume must, that the
character of common school education has much
to do with shaping the national character, it
seems reasonable to suppose that the Eng
lish national character has been more or
less affected and moulded by the circumstance
that most of the schools have been under eccle
siastical control and most of the instruction
given to the people has accordingly been tinct
ured with the established religion. If the
schools and their instruction shall be secular
lied, or even nonconformed, we may logically
expect some corresponding change in the
national character. That is TO say, the traits
which due to religious instruction will dis
appear, and others, due TO secular instruction,
will bo developed. Such changes will, of course,
be gradual, and it may be generations be-
fore their extent is fully indicated. Whether
they will, on the whole, be for good or evil is a
matter Of opinion upon which we are not called
to pass judgment. In our own country still
feel some of the inherited influence of the old
greatly affected by purely secular school
system. The significant thing is that in adopt
ing Mr. Birrells measure England will be tax
ing the radical new departure of so trans
forming her primary school system as TO make
for the first time in her history secularism
rather than ecclesiasticism dominant in popular
education, with all which that may involve.
