The National Society are taking measures to improve their systems, and also by forming Diocesan Societies to establish Normal schools for the instruction of teachers on improved principles throughout the country.
I would to God the Church of England had done this long ago; she would have had fewer enemies, and could now have put on a bolder front.
I trust in God that even now it is not too late, and that circumstances may transpire to render her efforts in this sacred cause doubly effective.

She has lately made a noble stand in defence of principle; this will have its proper effect; but she must not stop there, for the enemy is in the field; and though he is quiet for a time, the many-headed dragon is not crushed.

The utmost vigilance will be necessary to counteract the wiliness of the serpent; real improvements in education must be adopted; the books used in her schools must be revised and improved; a larger amount of knowledge must be given to the poorer portion of her sons, and then a beneficial reaction will not be far distant.

She has done much, but she has much more to do.

If she does not pre-occupy the ground, there are others that will.
