tc' I'i; n


du't.v to perform that evening. The chair­ man usuallv had to introduce the speaker, but it wou'ld be impudence were he to ,1„ anything of the kind that night. He fMr. Weeks) had Ixien in .Clitheroe z-l vears. and he thought he was fairly well known, but Mr. Garnett had been_ in the ojwn or in the neighhh.oinhood twice t.uil time, in fact, ever since he was born. He liopeil -Mr. (larnett would excuse him lor llie statement.-(laughter). He would not have dared to make a remark of that Uinu it the s|)caker had been a lady, because, though he knew very little about ladies, he understood that on the subject of age. "the ohler thev are, the younger they grow (lau'dif.ir). ■ -Mr. I\'eeks said he would u*'icr\*c :inv ivmarks he had to make until the clo.se,'ami he asked Mr. Garnett to


address tlic' students. ( ’ouncillor (.'.arnett expressed his a\)


!: * . t i ’f:


iireciation of th'e honour done him by the commiltiv of the TVchnical School, and he |,remised his remarks by .saying he coiikl not be expccteil that evening to treat the .subject of education generally, or technical rdncalion in particular, in any new or oriuinal manner. Thousands of .sjieakers upon thousands of platforms had been haranguing the British public on the ad vanlagi‘s of technical education.^ and nr]^ ing the advantages of education in general aiul to use an expression, which liad iiassed into very general use, he might say "the atmosphere of to-day is charged with education-"' He was not going to attempt that night to throw any original light on those classes, but w'onld address hi t.Mi one or two points which he thouglit the) mi''hl verv reasonably bear in mind with advantage' Tor what reason had there been this very great outcry with regard to technical cdii'cation in the past few years? It had been told them over and over again, and, he believed, with a considerable .imoimt of irnth as far as teclinical educa­ tion was concerned, that it they were to keep tiace commensurate with their posi- lion as a great power in the world with their two great, and (he begged to say) friendly rivals—the gn#at Empire of tier- many and the equally great Republic of ihc United .States— they would have to improve their knowledge of the scientific side of imhislry, otherwise they could not retain that commercial supremacy which enabled this little island to support on a cuinparativelv small area a population out of proportion to that area and to the home production of raw materials, or tire first iiia-essilv of life, food. While the knowledge of their fellow men


;mh1 wiimeii in this country was being in- i-reased in fhe industries in which they were engagetl, they also desired to sec- live amelioration of their lot, morally, mater­ ially, and physically; and, prima facie, i;ne mieht say, as men and women became more and more skilled lind educated in their jirofession, one-might sec that the eapacil.v for adding to their earnings was commensiiralely increased, and that the outcome would' be a desire to benefit theni- •selves and their jioslerity in the three ways he had already mentioned—morally, ma­ terially, and jihysically. But having granted the advantages that all increased income gave, one to gratify tliese laudable qiialilies, they bad the right to ask them­ selves whether they made th.e 1'nllost -ts-e of the ojiporliinilies they already possess­ ed, or, to put it another way, had they started at the right end? He was inelined to think, in some respects, they were a little hit dilicient in that way. What was I he first requisite for the strength of a nation and an individual? One might say that good, sound physique and constitution were the first necessities, and they were bound to do their utmost in schools to cul­ tivate, by physical c.xercises, the growing


jKiwcrs of the children. He had read with very great interest an


-iddress given before the British Associ.i- Tioii bv I’rcrf. .Saddler, of Victoria Univer-


' sitv vvho was second to none as an edu­ cationist. ITof. Saddler saidSystematic iihysical training must be regarded as an essential jiart of the daily work of every school, and it would be found as beneficial


to the intellectual and moral development nf tile scholars as to their bodily condition.- .Mr. Garnett said it. was a proposition tliat one might assume the absolute correctness


of, and he drew an example front the his­


tory of the past to show how the utmost reliiVenient .of uivalisation, the perfection


of weapons, tlie i^rfection of inventions would not save a great nation if it became physically effete, before the attacks of a ruder but physically stronger assailant. He alluded to the split in the great Empire of Rome, one half of which, the Eastern Empire, with all its material wealth and culture was overthrown by the Turks, one of the least progressive races in the whole


world. They might multiply their wealth, but


unless tliey had sound minds and sound bodies it would not avail them when the lash of arms came, and he did not ncces- arily mean the clash of arms of war. --kll


over the world the struggle was going on for the possession of the trade of the world, ind, as the late Lord .Salisbury said, “The real wars of the future probably will be


The commercial wars—wars waged by means of commerce for the possession of goods of tills world and all tlie influence that they


command.’’ A Disciplined Mind Es.sontial.


In spite of all that had been done in the


way of creating technical schools, and the normous amount of money, care, fore-


thiioght, and enthusiasm that had been put into this siiliject, Mr. Garnett said he ven­ tured to think that tlvey were not yet in a position for their young children to take the fullest advantage of the advantages offered them, and for this reason-, that the bulk of tile students attending technical scluxils had not hail their minds suflicient- y trained hy a lengthened elementari


education: tlii-v had not been taught to use their minds so as to avail themselves to the full of the advantages offered to them. What did I’rrLfessor Saddler say on this subject? He said (and they had recog­ nised the fact) “that technical instruction cannot be built up as a detached system of itself. In its higher forms it has to rest on a long ami carefully organised course if secondary eihication in its more ele-


mentarv grades, upon the sound lonnilation given in the primary and higher element­


ary schixils.” They were daily witnesses of the enor­


mous advantage that a disciplined mind—- a mind taught to think—had over the un- lisciplined mind, and he ventured to think,


with all deference to evening continuation schools ami with all admiration for those who after a hard day's toil, gave up their leisure to attend these coiitinuatjon schools for the sake of acquiring knowledge, he did venture to think that it would be an enormous advantage to the youth of this countrv if, instead of being allowed to leave 'srhool at Ifl or 11 years of age, the .State compelled all children up to Hi years to go to thc.se continuation classes; infin- itelv more good would be done if the State would bohUy face the question and say that no child should be sent to work in a factory or elsewhere under the age of 15. He felt convinced that the extra year’s schooling which would be added on to the time which was now given would send into the technical schools children whose minds would be sufficiently disciplined to be able to take advantage of the wonderful instruc­ tion that was open to them in all the great towns, and in their own small town of


Clitheroe also. But while tliey wished and desired


technical education to make men and wo­ men more skilled, and to teach them hy ihe use of their heads to save their hands and their feet, they must not forget they did not liie. b.v bread alone; and any nation that devoted its main energies to­ wards teaching only those subjects which enaliled men- and women to amass wealth was making a very fatal mistake. '"'he foimdatiun of all greatness, whether in the individual or in- the nation, was character, and true edneatiun was to try to develop the character so that they might become Ill-tier citizens, more -conscious of their duties to one another and to civilisation all over the world. They had seen in past ages how the possession- of material wealth, so far from enriching a country, had only ended in its ruin. Look at the great Empire of .Spain which, some liOO years ago. owned iiraclically the whole of the New \VoiTil. All the riches of the world were poiiivi] into her lap; but they mistook the [lossKSsion of gold for the real possession of wealth, disdained the development of commerce and tile arts of their country, believing that the mines of Mexico and of Bern assured them of everlasting wealth. 'J he result was that their wealth fell into the iiands ol' the English and Dutch who ivere the great traders of those days, and developing their own resources, took their goods to .Spain.


Torniation of Character.


ill Ills humble opinion, the formation of character was the great end of education. It was desirable that everyone in his or her capacity should do their utmost to leaie the world better than it was when they entered it. He read, not long ago, of lather a celebrated man who poured contempt on the study of ancient literature, because, he said, “tliey don’t teach you what to do, but ivhat not to do,” that was to say, they showed'them the mistakes of their forefathers and the men- of ancient days. Was it nothing to have learned what to avoid, or to have seen the mistakes of others and endeavour of themselves to correct them? They had been described as the heirs


of all the ages. They owed it to themselves and to their posterity not to sever their connection with that which had added so much to the wisdom of the world: they owed it to posterity that they should hand on not only the wisdom received from their forelathers, but added wisdom they (from bitter experience it miglit be) had had to


accunnilate. He disliked to criticise other nations, but they could not shut their eyes to the fact that in some parts of the world the possession of wealth rather than- char-


aicter was the passport to honour. That should not be, and if they were true to themselves and took their education as it should be, not as a means whereby tliey could solely become rich and more influ­ ential, but as a means of benefitting them­ selves, drawing the lessons from the past, and endeavouring so far as in them lay to extend tlie advantages tliat tliey liad liad to all others less fortunately situated, then, as the Cliairman said at a similar meeting last year, tliey would feel they had tried to, do some part of their duty.


Tlie Grammar School Scheme. Mr. Garnett, in eonclusioiii, said he


trusted that these schools in Clitheroe eventually might realise tlie ideals that they all set before tliem, and he expressed the hope that before very long they would have better opportunities for technical and se­ condary education in the town than had obtained up to now. II he matter of en­ deavouring to amalgamate the secondary and technical education under one roof had very seriously occupied the attention of the Governors of the Grammar School, the Corporation, and the Cpnnty Council. One did not like to prophesy without knowing, but lie ventured to hoi>e that before they met together on a similar occasion next car tliat very considerable stops wottid


iiave been taken to realise the wishes that they all had. He was quite sure that on the part of all the bodies represented there would he no lack of effert to make both institutions as iLsefid to the town and to the far wider area which the scliools were intended to serve. They hoped tiiat tlio secondary sclinol might become a centre in whicli voting ]icople who intended to adopt tlie tcacliing profession miglit be directed; and all these advantages would redound to the henefit of the -community at large. They could not have a great educational establishment in their midst without exercising a more luimanising influence over the community. He trusted th;it this ideal might be realised, and that they might ere. long congratniato themselves on being in the forefront of education iii, this area of Lancashire and T’orkshire. That such would be the result he had every conlid eiice.—(a.]iplause). Conneiilor Garnett afterwards proceeded

Tlie Mayor projiosed a vote of thanks to


Couilciillor Garnett lor his very able address, and for distributing the prizes,


and


known Councillor Garnett certainly _longer tliaii anyone in that room. r*rom his \er) earliest ’years, from almost the time when he was two or tliree years old. Councillor


Dr. Musson,


iG;irnett liad been more or less his constant companion, and lie remained at the present day his most intimate friend. Councillor Garnett deserved their tlianks for having called attention to one of the most iierman- ent failures in regard to their department in technical education. A few years ago, in that room, when the movement was started, he (Dr. kfnsson) ventured to hint tluit in all proliabllity tliis failure would arise. The wonls he used were to the effect that when this teclinical craze had passed away, they would recognise tliat they must first luive a sound primary education for the technical structure to 1x2 put upon it. He had spent a good part of that year in Bel­ gium where technical schools had Ijcen taken up by the Government liefore England st;irted a scheme. They built groat schools a|)|)()inted tlieir professors, and nvjde all sorts of arrangements; then tliey found that technical education could not lie success fully carried on unless the students had first received the ground work of a first rate primary education-. Ample proof of tliis had been given to him in his travels since that lime, and in conversation with those exiierieiiced in technical education he had l-.ad it literally .stuck down his throat that the gro:it trouiile in these classes was tli.-it young people who had gone for instriielipu were not capable of receiving that in­ struction because tiiey had not ;i sufiicieiit- ly good cilncation to Ixigin with. Talking witii one of the most distinguished chemists in this country, he said: “Boys come to me. and they say they have learned a litth: ehemistry and they want to be tech nically educated.


I find that what I


have to do is not to teach them chemistry, but that which they should have learned at school, and I have to undo the little chem- istrv which they think they have learned, in a large number of instances.” Mr. Garn;-tts rennirks should be taken to heart by everyone who had to receive this in­ struction. Dr. ^f^lsson recommended all voting pen])le to take up a hobby, and he expressed regret that classes had not been formed in gardening and agriculture, for the boys, and domestic economy for the


girls. Rcsiinnding to the unammons vote of


tluinks ;iccordcd to him, Councillor Gariiclt s;iid if there was one thing he would like to add to his renuirks to the students it was on the question of the choice of their read ing. There was Nothing More Appalling


to tile man who h;id any literary eiilhus iasm, or taste, or reverence fur_ literature whatsoever than to go and stand in trout of a bookstall on a ridlway station and see the amount of trash purveyed, and, he was afraid, bought by the people of this conn try. It really seemed as if people now-a- days were incapable of making any conlin nous effort to read. He did not like to eulogise the times gone hy at the expense of the present, because he was quite sure that in many respects the present days were much better than thirty, fifty or a hundred years ago. He was perfectly preiiared to admit that, but he did not think the child­ ren of the present day were nourished on the same literature that they were nourished when he was a child. These trashy feeble productions exposed for sale should be burned at tlie hands of the common hangsman—magazines which contained little miserable, rotten story which- had ngithcr rhyme or re;i.son, and cert;dnly no literature in them of the standard of .Sir Walter .Scott and Charles Dickens. In his opinion .Sir Walter Scott was a much belter guide to literature and ideals of life than was Rudyard Kipling. He did sin­ cerely wish that the young iieople of to-day with all the masterpieces of English prose and composition before them, would re­ member what a priceless heritage they had, and instead of .spending their jiennies and stunting their minds hy reading the feeble stuff put before them, return to the old masters from whose works they would draw fresh ideas and inspirations and thus con­ tinue their education. He trusted, now that educaioii had spread all over the country, that tluiy might see the return of better literary ideals and nobler aspira­ tions than that which was put before them in the feeble literature of to-day. Councillor Garnett proposed a vote of


thanks to Mr. Weeks not only for presiding over the meeting, but for his enthusiastic work on behalf of the institution. It was a good d;iy for Clilheroe, he said, when ^fr. Weeks came into the town., but it was a better day for the town wlien he decided to give his abilities and energies to public work. There was scarcely a useful or honourable cause in the town — literary, .social, or Ixinevolent—that he. had not identified himself with, and they were happy in ■ having a gentleman like him to give the time .and enthusiasm that he gave to hard; continuous and trying work, and a debt of gratitude was due to Mr. Weeks. Councillor Sagar, seconding, said he


thorouphly endorsed the remarks of Coun­ cillor G.arnett. Mr. XVeeks had taken .a


■verv .active interest in this committee since its inception. He had been chairman for


seconding, said he hau . , ,


several years now, and not only had he displayed his ei'-ergies in that coranuttee and in the public work of the town, but he had always been ready and willing to help forward every good cause. He trusted that Mr. Weeks would be spared to the town for very many years to come. Mr. Weeks, responding, expressed his


tluuiks to Councillors Garnett anl_ Pagar for the too kind words which, he said, had been spoken of him. He felt it was the duty of everyone to try to do something, however small and humble, to leave the place a little better than he found it, and in Ins humble way he had tried to do what lie as :d)le to help educational organisations


of all kinds. In his very interesting address Councillor Garnett had touched upon two very important ixiints. The first was th.it in order that the young people who came to the technical classes should be able to avail themselves of the advantages offere.l to thenij, it was absolutely necessary !l.;it they shonkl liave a certain amount of gen­ eral education. Now what they found w.ts this, and jicrliaps it was only human nature. ;V lad, when He got to 13 or l-l years age, thought lie had done with school that liorrid place where he was made to d-.) things he did not want to do, and to behave himself in a way he resented; he was only ton iiUixioiis for tlie time to come when lie could leave school lachind him, and the first thing he seemed to do was forthwith to for­ get all he hail learned. If he wore wise— but it was not an easy thing to put old heads on ynnng shonldors—he would think that there must lac some reason why he was sent to school to learn these things. In a few years, when he l:egan to find that the. chance of getting on in fife was to those who had the laest amount of educa'cion,^ he laegan to s;iy he would go to the technical school. Berhaps he went to the weavin class. He was taught certain things there and in order to apply the lessons of the te.acher he required a certain amount of arithmetic to make the calculations. But it had gone; ho had lost it since he left school: the same with his composition and other subjects. It would be very much to the advantage of


The Youth of the Country


if the time ever came to pass when youn people could be kept at school till 1C; but those times were not yet. W'hat he would impress upon the children, and also the elder people ,was that when- they left school, in.slead of letting everything pass oiit of their minds they should attend the evening continuation classes which were being formed at four of the elementary schools in the town in order that they might be bettor projiarcd for the oppor­ tunities put before them in the technical school.


1 Another point was that however import­


ant learning might be, one of the chief things for success in life was character The object of life was not merely to make money, to earn good wages—right enough nv their way; hut above, and Irfyond, and more important was character, and in order to succeed in life—they might be clever and have all the advantages of the whole of the universities in the United Kingdom— chtiriicter was essential; if they were de­ ficient in character, in the end they would fail. If they wanted to be good and re­ spected men and women they must lx; hon­ est, hononnible and reliable.


If they


wanted to succeed they must ix;rsevere, and be honest in every resiiect, putting their best into everything they did. They must rememher that they were to prepare them­ selves for the responsibilities of life after­ wards, fur their career here was but a preparation for that great life that one and all would some day go out into. Therefore, ill school, in- their daily work, and in everything thev did let them be true and honest men and women-.


, “Intellectual Dram Drinking.” M hat Conncillor Garnett had said about


reading should be taken to heart by every­ one. A great deal of the scr;ippy reading was nothing more than intellectual dram drinking, and the worst of it was that if Jiey cultiviited the habit of scrappy read iiig it prevented them from reading anything that demanded earnest attention and con­ tinuous effort. When a lad he read Scott, Bronte, DickeiiSv George Elliot, and others, and the best ot it w;is that the characters lived with him yet: they were his friends Dr. Musson h.ad -very soundly advised


young jicople to t;ike up some hobby. They had a botany class at the school which, he w;is sorry to say, was likely to fall through, as only four students laid entered. Mr. Weeks expressetl the hoiie that the nninlier would be augmented ne.xt week and that they would be able to carry on the class. Botany was a most interesting study, and in their w;ilks in the fields and in the country lanes it was ;i iileasure to he able to recognise the various flowers and the family to which they belonged. — In conclusion, Mr. AVeeks expressed the hope that the school might go on as successfully in the years to come as it laid done in the past, and that its advantages might be felt for very many years.
