Men see the necessity in everything

have been handicapped, and the stores
of knowledge closed against them unless
they were prepared to sacrifice the con
scientious scruples. And this has been
the case from the humblest National
School 20 the highest of our university
colleges. Model Schools, Queens Col
.leges, and splendid prizes and exhibl-
tions have been placed the disposal OF
the favored few, whist the State has
not given penny to the schools and
colleges where the Catholic youth of the
country have been for the most part
educated. Take the case of the National
Schools. In almost every particular
these schools are, as far as the National
Board could make them, thoroughly
anti-national in spirit and in practical
management, and offensive TO the poll
tical and religious sentiments OF the
people. Their defects are plainly and
forcibly pointed out in Mr.. Sexton s
splendid and effective address. Their
books are made mp Of silly, obsolete,
and insulting rubbish, and the attempt
at dividing secular from religious in
struction in schools where none but
| those of the one creed attend is pleasing
neither to Protestant nor Catholic. The
greatest blot Of all is the way III which
the National teachers have been treated
As Mr. Sexton pointed out naany of
them are worse paid than a common
policemen. Such fact is simply scan
dalous, but il is a fitting part for a
system of Government which breads the
spread of knowledge, and finds its surest
support in the batons aud baYonets of
Its police. The Model Schools are not
what they intended to be. They have
completely failed In their purpose, and
| it is but night that they should be turned
to some better use. The Queens Col
leges of Cork and Galway are both costly
and inefficient, whilst the students at
tending them are nndulY pampered at
the expense of the nation And whilst
money is being wasted on these institu-
tions the intermediate system is being
cramped for want Of funds. The thanks
of all friends of education are due to
| Mr. Sexton fer the extremely able man
ner in which he put forward the claims
Of our people to have q tair share Of
the benefits conferred by the State
! Equality is wanted; nothing more ano
nothing less will solve the difficulty.

commenced Edward Dagen read an
article on Indulgence from the Faith Of

Gibbons The reading was good and OF
course contained some very good points,
refuting accusations made by non Gath
