We have hal these untversitics, but they have given thelr advantages, such as they are, mainly to the rich. We have had grammar schools nud endowed schools Inanany parts of the country, but they have buen In the hands of persons who toa very Jarge extent have not kept them up to the in- tentions of the founders, and, in polut of fuct, wo may say that generally the whole mass of the pedple was neglected, as far as Government Is concerned, as far ns what we call common sshoot edueation is con cerned. I belive that there have been thousands of parishes In England In which there = hns been ono publle sehoul whatever; and now, at last, we aro beginning to find ourselves awake to tho negligence that lias prevailed in tho past, and tothe necessity for greater and strenuous exertions for the future.
