330 Objections to Dr. BelCs Mode of Education. 



parents objected to their children becoming 

 monitors, nor could they be persuaded that in 

 the teaching of others they materially fowarded 

 their own acquirements. The emulation this 

 post of superiority inspires is found to be highly 

 beneficial among the pupils. An erroneous 

 opinion is entertained as to the scarcity of 

 schools in Ireland. I know not what formerly 

 might be the case, but at present we have observed 

 a very general desire to afford instruction to 

 the rising generation in all classes of the com- 

 munity : neither a want of schools nor a dis- 

 position to profit by them has been found by 

 us in the most remote situations ; the happy 

 effects of which, we may reasonably hope, will 

 appear in the course of a few years. 



To-morrow we expect a very gratifying day 

 the road to Rosstrevor has the reputation of 

 having scarcely an equal in beauty. Adieu.
