perience, be found not liable to these objections-—

pleasing and salutary——it opens and purges the

a complete antidote. During a tedious confine-

EXTRACT. »—
“ In the year 1789 Dr. Bell opened a school‘_at“
Egmore, near Madrass, for the orphans and is-
tressed male children of the European military
The attention of the reader is particularly re
questedto a -work, published by Dr. Bell in the
year 1797, giving an account of this school. The
work is entitled, " An Experiment in Education,
made at the Male Asylum of Madrass ; Sug-
gesting a System by 'wbz'cI1 a School or Family may
teach itself under the Su/zerintendance qflltr: 1.\’[a..—
tcr or Parent.” In page 6 the author thus
speaks : as Every step of my progress has con-
firmed and iivetted in my mind the super1orit_v
of this new 1;zode_Qfcomluctz'ng a school tlzrcz.-git the
- medium of the scliolars thc7’nsel~.2cs.”
Dr. Bell said to the publisherpf this work, up-
on delivering him the manuscript-—-“ - You will
think me an‘:-.nthusiast; but in a thousand years
this system of tuition will spread over the world.”
the_book—“ ./1 system by-wlziclz a School or Fnmi-.
ly may teach itself‘ under the Sujzerimcndaiicc if
the Jlfaste-r or Parent ;” in other words—-‘‘ .4 M19
Mode ayfcovzdzzcting a School t/zroug/i the medium‘
of!/it Scholars t/tc'nzselves.” '
The system of Dr. Bell was adopted and
acted upon in the charity school of St. Botolph,
Aldgate, in the yea; 1798 ; and in the Kendall
Schools of Industry, in the year 1799.
TheAnalytical Review for January, 1799: {N15
speaks of the new plan—-“ the idea of conrlurting
a school I/trough the medium of the scholars t/u-7.n-
sclvcs, happily conceived and steadily prosecuted,
enabled Dr. Bell to surmount all obstacles, and to
establish a system of education, the effects of ‘
which are as truly interesting as the means are
novel.” .
Thus it appears that Dr. Bell began to teach
upon the new system so early as the year I789,
that he published an account of his method in
1797, in England : and that it was almost imme-
diately adopted and acted upon in several places.
IVII‘. Joseph Lancaster first appeared before
the public in a work published in 1803. In this
work Mr. Lancaster expressly says, that, when
he cpened his school, in 1798, he “ kn w of no
essayed to introduce a better ‘system of tuition
into the school, and every attempt had failed.”
Now take this in connexion with the following
explicit acknowledgment-“ I ought not to close
my account without acknowledging thg obliga-
tion I lie under to Dr. Bell, of the Male Asylum
at Madrass, who so nobly gave up his time and
liberal salary, that he might perfect tbatlnstitu-
tion, which flourislsed greatly under his foster-
ing care. He published a tract in 1798, (in
1797, Mr. L. should have said,) entitled, “ An
Experiment on Education, made at the Male As-
ylum at Madrass, suggesting a System whereby
a School or Family may teach itself, under the
Superintendance of the Master or Parent."
It is clear, then, that the new system was in- A
vented by Dr. Bell, and acted upon by him and
others, before Mr. Lancaster began to teach;
and that Mr. Lancaster, after practising without
success upon other methods, adopted Dr. Bt-ll’-s
method, which he found to answer admirably.
All this appears from Mr. Lancaster’s own publi-
cation ; in which is contained, indeed, a fair ac-
knowledgment that he derived the new system
from Dr. Bell. The only things which Mr, L.
claims as his own invention are-—-“ the new sys-
tem ofrewards, and the new" method of teaching
to spell.” I
How much is it to be regretted that Mr. Lan-
caster should have afterwards snllied thd reputa-
tion to which he was fairly cntitzed as a zealous
propagater oi the new system}. by coming for.
ward and claiming it as his own invention ; there-
by fort'ei_ting all pretentions to the character of an
honest man. He is now, indeed, fallen into great
disreptue ; having been cast off even by 15;; B.-it-
ish and Foreign School Society, which was found-
ed by his advocates and partizans.
A society has been lately cstablisbedin Eng-
land, entitled, the “ National Education Society,’
for the purpose of educating the whole body of
the poor in the principles of the established
Church. -It is proceeding with great zeal and
success upon the system of Dr. Bell, whose mer-
it as the inventor ofthe system, it distinctly re-- ’
cognizes. Is it not to be lamented, that the
schools established upon the new system in this
country should be called after a man who hasno
claim to such a distinction, and that the merits
ofthe real inventor should be thus overlooked
and disregarded? I
The‘ reader who wishes to see this subject ful-
ly and satisfactorily discussed, is referred to the
l5th Article of No. 21 of the Quarterly Review-
.Darz'77g' T/zrft.-—A horse and chair was taken‘
