Mr. Cave, the Vice-President of the BJard of Education, pre-

sided yesterday week at the distribution of the prizes to the Liverpool College, and made a good speech on the opposite ideals of middle-class education, holding the balance, in rather a canny, not to say timid manner between them. He mentioned one very interesting fact, that King Otho has almost restored the classical Greek, at least as the language of State documents, in Greece, and he deplored the fact that our school pronunciation renders even a decent knowledge of Greek almost useless for conversational pur- poses in Greece. Mr. Cave concluded by paying a rather super- fluous compliment to that lecture of the Bishop of Tennessee on American education the fallacy of which we have exposed in 'another column.
