It I clear then, that the school hind and the anm given by Indi viduals for educational purpose, go almost wholly lo educate, not the entirely destitute. but those -ho posses the mean of ecunnr. st least, a fair English education.

Thus w favour the slrcaely favoured, and depress the already deeply depressed. The poor man possessing intelligence and rcliticnvnt may b l prriect esse iu the company of a wealthy ignoramus, because he feel a real miperiority. . Hut, when the poor man know that hi compan ion ha Ihe advantage of him both in woallh and intelligence, then tt is, that he realiic a sense of inferiority which pressc apon hi soul and eruihrf hi spirit.
