The House of Lords will reconsider the Education Bill on

Monday. Meantime it is understood that negotiations are going on between the Unionist and Liberal leaders in the hopes of reaching a compromise. We have dealt elsewhere with the whole subject, and have expressed our hope and belief that a compromise will be secured. If it is secured, the extremists on both sides will no doubt be furious, and will predict all kinds of evil consequences. The country as a whole, however, will accept terms of peace with the utmost satisfaction.
