Lord Lawrence has resigned his post of Chairman to the

London School Board, and though he was persuaded to withdraw his resignation till after he had tried the effect of rest and travel, it is but too probable that his great services will not again be at the disposal of the Board. We are very happy to hear that the Rev. Llewellyn Davies is to be invited by a requisition numerously and influentially signed to become a candidate for the place on the London School Board vacant by the resignation of Professor Huxley. How very wise and temperate he is on the questions now in agitation in relation to Education the able letter which we publish in another column will sufficiently prove. A soberer judgment under the influence of a wider and more cultivated in- tellect it would be difficult to find. The London School Board, weakened by many serious losses, has need of such accessions of strength.
