The REToRr PUNGEST.-Rt. Rev. DIR. De
ChaIbanel, Roman Catholic Bishop of TOrC n
to. and Rev. f. Ryerson, Superintendent Of
Schools for Upper Canada, have had sharp
controversy respecting School management,
which is now before US in a pamphlet form.
I'll topics cOntroyerted are very similar to
those which have excited similar discussions
in various parts of our own country. In the
course Of the discussion, Bp. Charbonnel OBJ
serves:
Secular instruction without religious education Is
rather scourge than boon for country; witnesses,

Whereunto DR.. Ryerson responds in the fol-
lowing terms:
