If you are a clerk, for instance, knowing French may make a difference of ten shillings a week or more in the salary you can earn. Or, if you are an engineer, think of Stephenson and Arkwright. By being ingeni- ous mechanists, they made great fortunes ; they rose out of their class. Study mechanics, and you may do the same. " This plausible doctrine Maurice would have none of. He always insisted that if knowledge and culture, science and literature are any good, the good is something apart trom... trade utility. He denounced, too, the pitiful fraud of dangling before the working man the prospects of " rising out of his class, " when we know that this ambition, whether we call it worthy or unworthy, can succeed in only one in ten thousand cases. It was in this view, mainly, that for a long time we treated " technical " classes as outside of our province. And the principle was sound, though it is true that at that time the vast importance of improved -I technical education was not understood.
