Mr. Alderman Parker said, when Mr. Gladstone talked
about the plausibility of the chairman of the education
committee, any gentleman present who had watched Mr.
Anderson's conduct could say whether that gentleman
deserved to be charged with plausibility. The schools for
the education of the-poor of the town were established upon
the same principle as the . constitution of the country
(Hear, hear.)

The constitution of the country was Prote-s-
-igh he (Mr. Parker) had a great respect

thren, as p.

it as Mi. Gladstone,

or anybody else; that was not a question upon which they
could be. placed upon the .same footing as Protestants.
Hnndreds of Roman Catholic children did attend the
schools now, and many more would attend if they were not
prevented. The doors were open to all,. and there was no
exclusion. He protested against gentlemen ripping up

an old sore in the council. -
Mr: Stitt said, he had no desire whatever to rip np the
school question. Perhaps the present was.not the time to
do it. The subject was far too widcand .of too vast impor-
. tance to be raised without previous notice. At the same
time, he believed, that there were many gentlemen
,-who conscientiously entertained different opinions from those
which fell from Mr. Parker, :and the chairman of the
schools committee. It was not because they differed as to
the value of education. A thing might be valuable, and
