Mr. Lowe has just published a very vehement attack on

the recent Report of the Middle-Class Schools' Inquiry Commission, and especially on any use whatever by Government for middle-class school purposes of the large grammar-school endowments distri- buted through the country. We have adverted to this manifesto elsewhere. Here we need only remark what Mr. Lowe probably does not know,—it is the misfortune of his position as external to the University which he represents that he should be so likely not to know,—that his pamphlet is a slap in the face to his own constituency. The Convocation of the University of London, at its last session, passed (we believe unanimously) a resolution supporting cordially the general recommendations of the Schools' Inquiry Commission.
