Ariel was not at the breakfast table

Mrs. Vernon's face wore an expression OF
serene content which made her look ten
years younger. Nine. Chevreul, too,
cast aside her omens and premenitions
and sparkled with gayety.
Ninon alone, while she regained her
usual composure, was paler than her

if she had succeeded, would scarcely

be remembered that the young soldier

Archbishop Walsh, of Dublin. 81 \ a
recent address at Athy County lllldeaars,
ireland, said, is reference TO the eduea-l
tional system Of that country
#4 ssI have come here to make 8 public
protest against the wretched system Of
religious intolerance that puts this
school of yours, and all such schools 1 Y
Ireland, under ban, because those
WHO are in charge Of it refuse, IN obe-
dience to the rules Of their order, 70
submit themselves to the arbitrary
dictation Of department. OF Dublin
Castle in the matter Of religious teach ..
ing and Of the practices of religion IN
the schools. Fifty or sixty years ago,
when the Catholics of this country
were thankful for being allowed to
live in their native land on such terms
as the dominant party i'll the country
chose to dictate for their observance,
a system of edcation. curiously deslg'
mated as the National system was set
up, as you know, amongst u.s. 1t waf
taken as first principle by the organ
izers of that system that Catholics and
Professionals should all be brought up
together in the same schools Inc
people of Ireland did not want that
system. Catholics and Protestants
alike, so far as they were able out OF
their own private resources, set up
schools Of their own. These schools
represented from the beginning the
practical protest of the people of Irela
against the tyrannical policy which
aimed at imposing upon them the
State-favored system of mixed edu-
cation"
According to the latest returns, more
than half the schools under the Ma
tional Education Board are schools at
tended exclusively by Catholic children
on one hand, or by Protestant children
on the other Now, what has been the
policy of the National Education Board
in face of this most significant fact
It has been policy Of obstinate, dehans
and insulting disregard of the religious
sentiments of the people of Ireland,
Protestant as we'll as Catholic. For, to
the present day, the Board obstinately
insists that every school under It's con-
troll shall be conducted upon the anti
quated fiction that each and every one OF
those schools is place of "mixed" ed
ucation. It is sufficiently obvious that
one result of bringing Catholic and
Protestant children together in the
same primary schools is to shut out
from the ordinary work of the school
every element of distinctive religious
teaching or influence. The restraine
upon the fitness and freedom of relig'
ious teaching u.s. of course, an unavoid-
able necessity in those schools which,
as matter Of necessity, are attended by
both Catholic and Protestant children.
