Excerpt from The Position and Rights of Training Colleges Explained and Defended: An Inaugural Address Delivered to the Students of the Westminster and Southlands Training Colleges, on Wednesday, February 1st, 1882

If it was a pleasure in that Inaugural Address of 1878 to vindicate the character and position of Wesleyan Schools, and to show them stand ing on an eminence from which, as yet, they have not been dislodged, it was far from pleasant that so much of what I felt bound to say-should be of the nature of complaints respecting the conduct of individuals. It was much more congenial in the Valedictory' Address of the same year to speak, in the highest and largest sense, Of National Education, as related to the condition and needs of England: and, especially, to speak of the Teacher's duty at the present time to his country and to Christ in this matter of National Education. And, above all, it was with a feeling Of special satisfaction that I was able, two years ago, in my Inaugural Address, to follow throughout a purely professional - I might almost say a purely Professorial - Jim, and to offer expositions of principle and counsels in relation to College work and the proper aim and spirit of the student, all of which bore directly on the studies and the specific aims of students during the term of their residence within the Training Colleges. That Address contains truths which seem to me of primary importance for every student and every teacher to bear in mind, and arrangements have been made that it may be permanently available for the use of those for whose sake it was prepared.
