ENGLAND.
The London Vail; Acu-s Bays:
'It is possible that many more mouth?, if
not years, may elapse before a definitely or
ganized scheme of national education can bo
completed and brought into gwueral use. The
first blue-book 'On the Education'of the Lower
Orders' dates from the year Na
tional inquiries were frequent daring the reign
Of (Jeorge IV, and the system pursued in the
parochial and burgh schools of Scotland
was minutely contrasted with the anti
quated and effete English grammar-schools
and the disgraceful 'charter schools' of
Ireland. Hut it was between 18:J0 anl 1S40
that educational investigations which had
received a fresh impetus by the Reform move
ment attracted an amount of public attention
hitherto unknown. 'National schools,' so
called, sprang up all over the kingdom. T.ri
tish and Foreigu schools' multiplied; pros
perous tradesmen boasted that they would pay
no more than threepence a week for their chil
dren's schooling, au l Eton and Harrow were
for a time thrown into the shade by King's
College and theschoDl in Gower street. From
JHO to lfciiO educational agitation languished,
but within the last decade and a half the sub
ject has continued to be almost incessantly
discussed.
"Mr. Iiryce, oue. of the Assistant Commis
Bioners iu the recent inquiry the reports of
which are in themselves a good-sized library
lias published some curious statements re
garding what are termed "cheap" boarding
schools, and his evidence may be studied with
considerable profit by those who would ail
to their stock of information. Lancashire ap
pears to be now the chosen county for 'cheap'
echools. Those 'Yorkshire' schools, the very
mention of which reminds us at once of Dothe
looys ilall and Mr. Wackford Squeera, appear
to be well nigh extinct. The cheap Lanca
shire school is generally placed in the country,
r in some small town, partly because house
rent is lower there than in the large centres
f population, partly for the sake of seclusion.
'.An unfriendly observer,' Mr. Uryce rather
maliciously remarks, might say that these
Bchools were lixed in out-of-the-way places
for the sake of secresy.' Iu the opinion of
the Assistant Commissioner, they are not
primarily places of teaching, but places of
lodging and feeding. La.y or unmanageable
boys, children who are wholly or partially
orphans, or whose parents are abroad, are
consigned to these dismal receptacles in ordar
to get them out of the way.
"Mr. Iiryce might have added that the
'cheap' boarding-school oilers a convenient op
portunity for the disposal of illegitimate chil
dren. The average cost of board and educa
tion at these schools is stated at twenty-live
guineas a year, for which sum, Mr. Bryce con
tends, a private schoolmaster cannot give
good food, comfortable accommodation, and a
thorough plain education. If the Assistant
Commissioner had taken the trouble to glance
at the advertisement columns of the newspa
per he would have found that a thorough edu
cation and 'food unlimited' are frequently
offered for twenty, and even for sixteen pounds
a year. At one school visited by Mr. Iiryce
the master admitted that the staple article in
the dietary of his boys was bread, and he ex
hibited some of his loaves, pressing thein with
his thumb to show their elasticity. In his
prospectus he advertised 'an unlimited Bupply
of the best provisions.'
"The official inquirer, however, sees no
reason to assume that boys in these cheap
Bchools are beaten or ill-treated; at least, he
naively adds, 'one hears of no cases of starva
tion.' Still, the 'cheap' school-boy is misera
bly lodged. One chamber inspected by the
have dressed and' undressed standing orAuelr
wretched pallets. In other instances the over
crowding was quite as ruthless, and the be Is
were shockingly dirty. Mr. Bryce found maay
cheap' schoolmasters who were themselves
Utterly incompetent to teach, but who ex
pected to get a good usher for thirty pounls a
year with board and lodging. Uu testing the
qualifications of the boys in oue 'cheap'
school, it was found that of history or geo
graphy the pupils 'had no rational idea.' Tne
clumsiness and inaccuracy of their ciphering
bore witness to bad and stupid teaching.
"As regards the discipline, Mr. Bryce con
fesses that he lacks trustworthy information.
The boys, he says, look cowed, feeble, and de
jected. 'Whether it is want of air,' he con
tinues, 'that makes them pale, or the want of
a frefch vigorous life in this isolation where
they are kept, always pretending to learn, yet
feeliDg, if they have any sense, tuat the whole
thing is a sham, or whether they are naturally
poor specimens of boyhood, sent away from
home on that account, certain it is that there
is something almost painful about the aspect
of boys in these places no color iu their
cheeks, no animation in their answers, no glee
In their sports.' Mr. Bryce admits, in conclu
sion, that he would have given a great deal to
have ten minutes private converse with these
pallid and dejected lads, or with some discon
tented nsher, who might have revealed the
secrets of the prison-house.' It may be hinted
parenthetically, however, that the revelations
of 'discontented ushers' are not always to be
trusted.
"Such is the not very rose-tinted pic'.ure
drawn by a state official of the 'cheap' boarding-schools
of provincial England. In a bad
form he believes these establishments to be
not uncommon; in their worst form Mr. Bryce
is glad to tlauk that they are rare, but he
contends that they should be impossible. A
little philosophy is requisite as a corrective to
Mr. Bryce's virtuous indignation. The 'cheap'
Loarding-school will not be 'impossible' so
long as parents are foolish or stingy enough
to expect that for a paltry pittance of twenty
or twenty-five pounds a year their children
can be thoroughly taught, comfortably lodged
and abundantly fed. The supply of inferior
boarding-schools only keeps pace with the de
mand; and so long as pareuts choose to live
ostentatiously, and to spend on their own plea
sures the money which should be devoted to
the education of their children, so lorjg will
boys and girls be packed off out of the way to
cheap and nasty schools.
"Meanwhile we are , glad to perceive that
Mr. Bryce acquits the conductors of these
establishments of positive cruelty to the for
lorn little fellows entrusted to their keeping,
fcchool cruelty, indeed, sesnis to be dying out,
and it is mainly those publio schools, to which
the Assistant Commissioner gives bo marked a
preference over private establishments, that
preserve two disgraceful relics of barbarism
flogging and fagging. There is much that is
to be commended in our publio school system
Which certainly makes boys healthy and
manly, if it does sometimes turn them out
complete dunces; but we must deprecate the
Somewhat feverish tendency displayed by cer

The London Star says:
"A veiy pretty little quarrel V,;tween sci
ence and orthodoxy seems to V at present agi
tating the people of linn. It is hardly ne
cessary to tell our readers that in the capital
of l'rusf ia Bcienoe is strong, orthodoxy of the
most old-fashioned kind is strong, philosophy
is Btrong, and a neo-evaugelism which aims at
reconciling all and bringing them to compete
unity is also strong. Therefore, there are in
Euch a city materials much more complete for
a controversy between science and orthodoxy
than would le found iu most great towns, say
of England, where the extreme of both views
would be probably left to have the fight all to
theniselvef, and the general public would re
main utterly unconcerned. At the present
nioment, then, the municipality or Berlin,
taking up the cause of a certain body of the
olerpya certain school, perhap?, we should
rather say seem to have come into direct and
somewhat angry collision with auothe r great
section of the clergy, whose orthodox viewa
are of the most rigid character.
"About the close of last autumn, at the
pynod of the principal evangelical diocese of
Berlin, a pastor named Lisco read a lecture or
report on the state of faith and morals in the
diocese. In this report the reverend gentle
man branched out into a panegyric on natural
Bcience, which he declared had banished, with
out possibility of return, even among those
who called themselves most orthodox, the
ideas of the universe, which people formerly
supposed they extracted from the Bible. A
sharp controversy sprang up then and there,
iu which one young pastor of another
Berlin church ppecially distinguished hitn-
Eelf by the rigor ot his uncompromising
orthodoxy. To this latter Lisco addressed a
question which seems to have furnished the
keynote or motto of the controversy. Be
lieving, doubtless, that he was about to pro
pound redmtio ad absurdum, Lisco asked:
"Do you believe that tUe earth is fixed iu the
centre of the universe, and that the sun goes
round it ?' 'Yes,' was the indignant reply, 'I
do believe it. My faith requires no other
guide than the Bible.' Why the orthodox
believer was not sailed on to point out any
passage iu the Bible which suggests that the
earth is llxed in the middle of tlie universe,
and that the sun goes round it, we are un
able to guess. From that time, however, be
gan the controversy.
"The Rev. Lisco published a report of his
lecture, and of the debate which followed, in
cluding, of course, the speech of his foremost
adverBaiy. lie followed tuis up by a pamphlet,
expressing, it is said, with unmistakable clear
ness, his views on miracles and the Mosaic
cosmogony. We have not read the publication,
and do not even know what are the precise
views it expressed. But the clergymen who
had condemned its utterances in the synod
hastened to publish a formal declaration
against him and his supporters. A solemn
protest, sicued by twenty-one pastors of Ber
lin churches, declared that the utterance or
sanction of such doctrines implied retraction
of the pastoral vows ot those who espressel
them, and that the pulpits of evangelical
churches ought not to be open to such persons.
"On the other baud, the Protestant Associ
ation, the body representing what we may call
the newer school of evautielicism iu Germany,
and which holds its meetings periodically in
all the principal German cities, declared
acainst the protest, and against those who
would suppress the free Protestant spirit of
inquiry. A great manner ot the muuicipal
deputies of Berlin took up tue quarrel,
alaimtd about the religious superintendence
of their schools, if left, says the account we
have been reading, 'in the hands of men who
profess to believe that the suu gnes round the
historian, Von Kaunier, in which the writer
remarked that the iuquisitor who imprisoned
tialiho might well have rejoiced could he
have known that more than two centuries
later his judgment would receive from the
mouth of au evangelical pastor iu the intellec
tual capital of Korlh Germany a btriking aud
surprising continuation.
'The municipal assembly finally adopted a
formal declaration against the too rigid ortho
doxy of some of the clergy, and begge, I the
magistracy of Beiliu, as patrons of the
churches and schools, to protect the religious
and Fcientific instructions of the city against
the pre-Galileo theory. However one may
sympathize with the course taken by the
municipal body, it would be impossible not to
smile, as we are told that the Berlin publio
generally did, when we read in their protest a
formal record of their conviction that the earth
moves round the sun. Ou that same day the
Pastoral Conference of Berlin, presided over
by the highest ecclesiastical diguitary of the
city, adopted a declaration against the free
thiuking section of the Church, and while ex
pressing no opinion on the astronomical ques
tion collaterally raised, denounced the Pro
testant Association as entertaiuing ideas in
compatible with the full recognition of the
Scriptures as the sole and only authority aud
guide of belief and life.
"So we understand the controversy now
rests. It is not unlikely that it may result in
Borne modification of the system of Church
government in Berlin, at all events, aud some
alteration in the relationship which exists be
tween the Church and the schoola."
