It is one of the faults of the existing British system of educa- tion that children are either taken from school at too early an age, or, at a time when they are best capable of receiving the greatest benefit from the education which the State supplies, they n-a permitted, through the half-time system, to reduce their opportu i ties of learning to a minimum. The principle, undoubtedly bad in its inception, has for itself this merit that at any rate a small amount of money is brought into homes where it is most needed at a time when the calls on the family parse are at their highest. The enactment which permitted of this result was certainly one of those which sacrificed principle to convenience, and while it would seem that economic conditions should be adjusted in such a way as to do away with the necessity for half-time, it in to be regretted that the attempt which is at present before Parliament, for the abolition of this system, the Children's (Employment and School Attendance We were informed this morning mer has been awarded a naval Bill)-is calculated to setablish the fact without affecting the exis-that the tiger that is said to be pension of 3100 a year, in the Deane, Captain Superintendent tence of anything in the nature of an ameliorated social condition. roaming the Peak just now, paid place of the late Rear Admiral of Police, who after over a quarter There are three important propositions, generally accepted by a visit to the garden of Sir William John E.
