This is called maintaining the standard of living.

Three times before in history English educaâ€" tion has flushed with renewed energy; ‘ first under Alfred, next at the time of the Reformation, and last in the early years of Queen Victoria. But never till now has it been free from the cramping influences of poverty. Toâ€"day it is well furnished and free in its choice of methods of work. Thes teachers are at liberty to try new ways of teaching; to get into the open air; to use other tools than the pen. A school needs space, zest and freedom if it is rightly to train those who a few years hence will make or mar the tone and temper of town and village, of factory, shop and farm. Not all the schools have yet made full use of their new opporâ€" tunities. But England is now dotted over with good examples of the new education.â€"The Master of University College, Oxford, in the Spectator (Lon-' don). 1 tively says that reparations and interâ€" national debts â€"~s ruinous; the nations individually protest that they cannot abandon their claims.
