A Queer View of Education.

Opposition to state education in the
past was due largely to belief that
too much learning was not good for the
masses. The worthy Hannah More
even, who was one of the most ear
nest supporters OF the movement fol
the establishment of schools for the
poor In England, had very definite
ideas as TO how far the children should
be educated, The curriculum. she de-
clared, should comprise only reading
the Bible and the catechism. and ''such
coarse works as may ct the children
for SERVANTS" adding decisively, 81 al
