Lord Derby on Popular Education and Moral Improvement

—Lord Derby keeps fully abreast of the spirit of the age in his estimation of the value of everything connected with popular education. In a recent speech at Liverpool he said: “Intellectual activity is in itself a moral safeguard. It kills vicious tastes just as in the bodily life a healthy appetite for food keeps out the morbid craving for drink. Therefore it is to the spread of school boards and of all that goes with them that I look for moral and social as well as intellectual improvement.”
