Thoughts For The Times.
Universal Education. Have not men in the past lost sight of this idea, of universality implied in the term “Universiny” Have they not put a high and unscalable wall, as il were, of wealth and classical attainments and professional status, and social influence, and what not round the the Unversity to keep out men who worked at trade or with their hands, forgetting that the brain power is behind the hand, and not understanding that sklled labour is as necessary to the well-being of the State as skll in the professions? Are there not many people still who think that domestic science for example, is just not quite dignified enough for a university? He this as it may, in New Zealand we have cause to fell thankful that at length men realise, that only on the foundations of universal education can a world brotherhood be built so that it may last; only by throwing open more widely the doors i)f the university will it be possible to preserve a State so that it may en lure.
