A WARNING.

LIBERTY IN PLACE OF DISCIPLINE.

Mr. II. A. L. Fisher, Warden of New Gallege, Oxford, and 'Principal of the City of Lanilon Vacstion, | Course in Edumalión, indulged in a tilt at the zealots of the school of liberty" in education as opposed to the school of discipline.

His repiles to the critics of exs. aminations and the champions of bustle were:

"All young people have a Strong bent in the direction of leisure; examinations have raised the standerd of intellectual industry among the young."

"A fixed habit of intellectual industry cannot be acquired in a whirlpool."

Mr. Fisher was giving the leach- ers attending the first lecture of the City of London vacation course the benefit of his thoughts-on education inspired by "the revolution and
