At Manchester, on Thursday, Mr. Forster suggested the neces- sity
of making the grants to the Science and Art schools depend, as in the case of the primary schools, to some extent on results, and keeping the grants in a fixed proportion to what is con- tribated by local support, and by students' fees. He pointed out cases in which artizang gaining greatly in wages by the instruction they receive in these schools seem to grudge even the poorest fees to their teachers and lecturers, and need to have those pcior fees returned in the shape of prizes in order to keep them to their work at all. It seems clear that in such a case a certain reluctance on the part of Government to give, might prove the truest generosity. If parents are not to be spared school pence, young men and women should not be spared reasonable fees.
