TH 'HAT the first reading of Sir John Gorst's Bill should be delayed till the very eve of the Easter recess is a misfortune that politicians of every shade regret. Mr. John Morley denounces the delay as a flagrant instance of Conservative laches and incompetence; Mr. Balfour pleads in excuse the exigences of the public service and Radical obstruction. We are rather inclined to set it down to the general "cussedness" of things that Sir John Gorst should be making his statement at the very hour when the April number of the Journal will be issued, thereby placing us in a most awkward predicament. We cannot ignore what even politicians regard as the most important measure of the Session, neither can we prophesy, even if we knew, for we alternative which we had contemplated-postponement of should be prophesying to those who already know, and the publication--is precluded by the imminence of the Easter holidays. ONE NE course only remains, and that is to comment on those broad features of the Bill which we may reasonably assume without pretending to any gift of divination or inspiration from "a high educational authority," like the Birmingham Argus. The revelations of that journal, we have reason to know, were premature, and the Cabinet had not settled the final provisions of the Bill when they were made. First, then, we may assume that the guiding principles of the Bill are decentralization as regards primary education, and centralization, or rather organization, as regards secondary education. The first part will approve itself in principle to all educationists, however much they may dissent from its application in detail. All will rejoice to learn that the Science and Art Department is no longer to have a separate existence, and will be under the immediate control (as it now is in theory) of the Vice-President of Council. That the work of the Central Office should in part be delegated to local authorities is likewise a welcome reform. Whether the same authorities will have the disbursing of the additional help to poor elementary schools is a point on which we prefer not to express an opinion. Perhaps the educational committees of the district Councils will undertake this duty. It would be a heavy burden on the shoulders of the county authorities, and one which the. Association of Organizing Secretaries has stoutly opposed Upon the burning question of higher-grade Board Schools we have little comfort to offer. If the Bill merely permits the county authorities to take over these schools, there may be, and probably will be, in many districts of the North, two bodies competing with one another in the supply of secondary education. PASSI ASSING to the second portion of the Bill, we cannot but repeat our last month's note of warning and regret that lack of time or lack of inclination has prevented the Cabinet from framing a separate Bill for the organization of Secondary Education as an integral whole, whether on the lines of the Report, or on its own lines. A half-loaf is not always better than no bread, and till we know something more about the constitution of these county authorities, and their relation to the central authority, we must decline to be grateful for the small mercies we are to receive. Sir John Gorst, we may be sure, will do the best he can for secondary teachers. In his speech at the Cambridge Training College he endorsed in emphatic terms the main recommendations of the Report, and, like Dido, he can plead: "Rerum novitas me talia cogit." The present Cabinet, as Mr. Macan elsewhere remarks, are not educationally disposed, and it has needed pressure to induce them to do the little they have done. MEANWHILE it is an enormous relief and satisfaction to announce that we are to have this Session a Bill for the Registration of Teachers. This, as we have pointed out ad nauseam, is the very corner-stone of organization. We may take it for granted that there will be a Council for Registration, and that, as in both the previous Bills on this subject, teachers will form an integral part of this Council, whether it should be placed under ordinary departmental organization. This Report has been pigeon-holed for a year and a half. Its main conclusion is that the Charity Commission should be unmolested, as its work is mainly of a quasi-judicial or legal character. The Secondary Education Report recommends that the Charity Commissioners should be merged in the new central Department, but rumour has it that in Sir John Gorst's Bill they are left untouched. In any case it is probable that the local authority will have the power of initiating new schemes. As Mr. Macan points out, some knowledge of our existing educational institutions is necessary before we are plunged into the discussion of the burning questions of the future. MR. FREDERIC HARRISON'S estimate of Matthew Arnold in the Nineteenth Century differs widely from that of our reviewer in the last number of the Journal. On the high worth of Arnold's poetry both are agreed; but of Arnold's services to education there is hardly a word in Mr. Harrison's éloge, and his peroration is devoted to the critic. The obiter dicta of the Letters, we are told, count for nothing; but, when Arnold speaks ex cathedra, he pronounces judgment as the supreme pontiff of literary criticism. Thus his Introduction to Ward's "English Poets" "should be preserved in our literature as the norma or canon of right opinion about poetry, as we preserve the standard coins in the Pyx, or the standard yard measure in the old Jewish House at Westminster." not by direct representation, which at this stage is practically ON reading this eulogium, we rubbed our eyes and impossible, but by delegation from the Universities and other corporate bodies of teachers. The powers and functions of such a Council, though at starting strictly limited to the work of registration, are certain, by a natural process, to grow and expand. This is the best piece of news we have heard for many a long day. It will be remembered that the date of the Cambridge Conference on Secondary Education was shifted from August to April in order to anticipate the Government Bill. The previous introduction of that Bill cannot help affecting the scope and purview of its deliberations, and the agenda paper, framed with so much care by a committee of representatives that sat at Cambridge a month ago, has ceased to have any but an academic interest. We can hardly expect the Cambridge authorities to draw up a new agenda paper, but, whatever the motions before the Conference, we may be sure that the real debate will be on the Bill. The Duke of Devonshire, as Chancellor of the University, will be in the chair; Sir John Gorst, Sir George Kekewich, and other notables, have expressed their intention of attending. Oxford will be represented by the President of Magdalen, the Warden of Keble, and eight other distinguished delegates, and we doubt whether such a representative body of teachers as this will be has ever before met in England. THE 'HE doings of the Charity Commissioners are for the most part buried in blue-books and reports and are little understanded of the people. Our readers will be grateful to Mr. Macan, who has supplemented his previous article by writing in this number an exposition of the present state of affairs and of the expected changes. We have little hope that either the present or the next Government will venture to deal with charities in any root-and-branch fashion. Local opposition would be aroused. The Parish Councillor would be to the fore. The text of Mr. Macan's article is a Report of a Treasury Committee appointed in 1893 to consider whether the Charity Commission should be left as it is, or asked ourselves whether we could have mistaken an essay that eclipses Aristotle's "Poetics," Goethe, Lessing, Buffon, Sainte-Beuve, Scherer, et tous ces garçons là, for a brilliant but ephemeral magazine article. But a fresh perusal of the Introduction has convinced us that Mr. Harrison is the dreamer, not we. The essay is full of apt quotations and felicitous comparisons, and proves, what no one would dispute, Arnold's exquisite, though by no means catholic, taste in poetry. But it reveals no less the absence of any philosophic basis, and an absolute ignorance of psychology. Arnold's method is wholly empirical; his one criterion of poetry is feeling, sentiment, tact; he has not got beyond Aristotle's ὡς ἂν ὁ φρόνιμος ὁρίσεις. And, further, the single line test that he applies, the "In sua voluntade è nostra pace," is a leaden rule that wholly fails to measure the greatness of a poem as a whole. When we add that the Introduction stops with Burns, that a quarter of it is devoted to Burns, and that it is marred by many instances of Arnold's later mannerism-the "house that Jack built" period we shall have sufficiently justified our dissent from Mr. Harrison's verdict. Arnold was a consummate littérateur, but no Aristarchus, and if to Mr. Harrison we shall seem to be acting the ungracious part of a Zoilus, we may quote in defence his own dictum, admirable in sentiment, though we doubt whether his master would have approved the style :-" Amant alterna Camoenae. But of all the Muses she of criticism loves most the alternate modulations of soprano and basso." T is not too late to call attention to an article in the Forum of November, 1895, "A Generation of College Women," which possesses a special interest at the present crisis of University education. Frances M. Abbott has done for Vassar College what Mrs. Henry Sidgwick has for Newnham, and worked out full statistics of the after-careers of the students of Vassar College, which, when she wrote, had just celebrated its thirtieth birthday.
