A n o t h e r pleasing ' fact was the establ ishment o f a sayings' bank i n connect ion w i t h the society, w h i c h is chiefly intended to encourage habits o f economy i n the y o u n g .

M r G . T A B I C , o f E g g l e s t o n , the next speaker, expressed the pleasure he felt i n appearing before t \ v i n .

A m i d s t the changes of his after l i fe , he had always felt a deep interest i n his native d i s t r i c t , a n d he rejoiced in the prosperity o f this a n d k i n d r e d ins t i tu t i ons , w h i c h augured so w e l l for the future . H e then passed a h igh eulog ium o n the L e a d C o m pany , a n d the ir respected Super intendent , for the i r efforts i n behalf of the people.
M r W M .

T h e tl ieory that knowledge was dangerous to tb« work ing classes was how exploded , a n d there was a disposit ion o n the p a r t of employers generally to l e n d them a he lp ing h a n d i n every laudable u n d o t a k i n g .
