Book excerpt: Excerpt from Endowed Schools of Ireland These chapters, which have appeared in the Daily News during the Parliamentary recess, are reprinted before the opening of the session, in the hope of awakening the attention of the friends of education in general, and of our legislators in particular, to the danger of the misapplication of Irish Endowments. It is understood that Government is likely to bring forward a measure opposed to the recommendations of the Report of the majority of the Commissioners. The passage of such a measure can scarcely happen if the Report does but obtain due and timely attention from the members of the Legislature, as it assuredly could not be proposed, under the guidance of Mr. Stephens, by any Ministers who had fairly collated the statements of his "Letter to Sir George Grey" with the evidence and the Report which is grounded upon it. Yet it is only too possible that the bigotry, cupidity, tyranny, and craft of a small section of Irish society may obtain an advantage over the better will, mind, and intent of the majority of the friends of Ireland - over the aims of the founders of trusts - and over the educational interests of the great middle classes, if instant care be not taken to do justice to the old Endowments. In such a crisis, the humblest friends of the rising middle class of Ireland should put forth their efforts: and mine have taken form in this free exposition of the case of Irish Intermediate Education, and of the Report in which it is thoroughly illustrated.
