On that day the College of Preceptors celebrated its Jubilee, and the Education Bill passed into Committee. That Bill, said Sir Edward Clarke, "which will profoundly modify the whole national system of the country, is going to pass through Parliament substantially in the form in which it has been introduced." Never did the irony so strikingly point the finger at the vanity of prophesying. Almost at the very hour that the late Solicitor-General was speaking, Sir Albert Rollit was moving an amendment which riddled the Bill like a torpedo. After that amendment had been accepted by Mr. Balfour, it was only a question of time how soon the water-logged vessel would flounder and sink.

"You Preceptors," said Sir Edward, "are very anxious to have a central authority. You are not going to have one, and if you insist and make a fuss you are likely to have nothing at all." Just as in our nursery days we were told that, if we clamoured for jam, we might be cut off our bread-and-butter. What was the objection to a central authority, or why we were not to have one, Sir Edward did not condescend to explain. Just in the same way Mr. Balfour accepted the amendment constituting municipal boroughs of not less than 20,000 inhabitants, simply because the Whips told him that it was politically expedient. Had he taken counsel of teachers or even consulted Sir John Gorst, who has taken the trouble to learn the opinions of teachers, he could never have fallen into such a gross and palpable error. Protests against the amendment had already been passed by the College of Preceptors and the Joint Scholarship Board before the Bill was withdrawn, and, had it been persevered in, we believe that similar resolutions would have been passed by every organized body of teachers in England.
