SCHOOLS IN IRELAND.

Remarkable Activity in Educational Mat
tiers Throughout the Country
Pick up at random any copy of the
Freeman's Journal, say for the last six
years, and the chances are that it will be
chronicling the laying of the foundation
stone or the opening of some new school
IN the diocese of Dublin by his grace the
archbishop. The recurrence OF such
events ie almost monotonous. On such
occasions his grace almost invariably
seizes the opportunity of dwelling at
length on the rapid growth of elementary
education in Ireland, substantiating his
remarks by liberal extracts from official
returns. If there is one fact more than
another that ought to have been ham
mered into mems minds it is the aston
ishing educational progress in Ireland.
Yet in spite of this incontrovertible fact
the archbishop found himself compelled
on Sunday, when attending meeting in
the Church of st. Kerins, Harrington
street, for raising funds for The erection
of new schools at Clanbrassl street, to
vindicate himself and his people against
the calumny, published in an English
newspaper, that the educational status
Of Ireland is in benighted condition,
and that illiteracy is rampant-so much.
so, it. was alleged, that until last year
sArklow, one Of the principal towns in the
diocese Of Dublin, was without school
Of any kind, and yet that the archbishop
was opposed to compulsory education.
Each and every one Of these charges is.
devoid Of shred Of foundation. As re-
CARDS the charge Of general illiteracy We
have only to turn to the report OF the
last census Of 1891, and We find the COM
miissioners testifying ''that the general

A Minister on Ireland.

In copy of the Memphis Avalanche
(Tenn.) We read an interesting lecture
delivered by the Rev. David Wark, to the
congregation Ut the Linden street Chris
tian church in that city. The lecture
was the result of tour through Europe,
and the Rev. gentleman thus speaks Of
his feelings when he first beheld the
coast of Ireland:
''The coast of Ireland! How the words
thrilled me. I no longer heard the rush
of the water, [ no longer noted the roll
ing and tossing Of the ship; ceased to
think of the laboring, grooming engines.
I thought only on the blessed, solid earth
on which my eyes we're feasting. Yes,
there could be no mistake; those are the
towering hills Of Ireland. There she
stands like dear mother, stretching
forth her arms over the stormy deep, in
viting her children to her breast; rising
up from the ocean like beautiful god
dess, she is the first to offer rest to
weather beaten mariners, and to give
the traveller of the New World well
come. Long live old Ireland! Green be
her fields; bright be her skies, and hap
piness be the portion of her sons and
daughters"
Abiding to Catholic and Protestant
Ireland. he said: my business is to
state facts-not to make them. Ofcourse,
I had ever been taught-in fact, had
read it in the Sunday school books, that
the North of Ireland, which is supposed
to be Protestant, is greatly superior to
the South of Ireland, which is supposed
to be Catholic. Now, 1 have been
through Ireland from the extreme South
to the North, and aver upon the honor
of gentleman and Christian, that q
greater fraud than the assumed superb
ority of the Protestant over the Catholic
population Of Ireland was never palmed
off upon an innocent and unsuspecting
public. It is pitieul when men attempt
to coin religious capital out Of such ma
terial. On the other hand, saw more
squalor, more abject misery. more pow.
erty and wretchedness in Glasgow and
Edinburgh than in the whole Of Ireland
put together. Scotland is Protestant;
Ireland is Catholic. Isay it Is my duty
to state facts as I;see them, and not to
allow religious prejudice to blind my
eyes to the truth. The sun of heaven
shines on 40 fairer spot than Ire South
Of Ireland. From MalloN, On the Black.

Tying faot elioited ~ the crest social in i y.
quiry fthe census) Of 1891 = Az regards
the diocese Of Dublin, il season and ont 7
81 season his grace, with almost weary
ing pertinacity, has quoted the retur'ns',
showing that within e7en years, IN the '''
CITY parishes alone, no fewer than ten
new schools had been built, and FIVE en-
larged, giving acoommoda tion in the one
case for 297O additional children. and in
the other, for $40, making % total Of
$780, That was for the city alone.
Then for the diocese as whole the NJ
turns have been as frequently quoted,
showing that "the number Of new schools
that have been built is 81. while IS have
been enlarged, and the number Of addi-
tional children for whom accommodation
has thus been provided is 5902.'
AS for Arklow itself, on the very occa-
sion to which his assailant refers his
grace quoted figure after figure from the
official records of the national board and
from the official reports of it's inspectors,
proving beyond all question the striking
superiority of the educational results ob'
tanned in the Arklow convent school over
the results that the national education
board itself, with all it's vast resources
and enormous advantages, has been able
to obtain, even at the expenditures OF
immense sums of public money, in the
so-called, model school in Marlborough
street.
As regards his grace's attitude towards
compulsory education, one would have
thought that it had long ago been we'll
and clearly defined. His grace is respon-
sible for the diocese of Dublin, and he is
careful to define his views as extending
only within his own province. So far
from being opposed to compulsory edu-
cation, he is convinced that the working
of we'll administered compulsory sys.
tenn operating in the city of Dublin
would be of incalculable advantage, and
this in the interests of religion quite az
much as in the interests of merely secular
instruction, or even more So. And what
is true of Dublin, he holds, of course, to
be equally true of all other towns and
cities where the circumstances are the
same. But what those towns or cities
are it is outside the srchbishop's juris
diction to express q Judgment on, and is
question to be considered by their OWL
bishops.
In conclusion, let it be remembered
that in reading official records, no &C
count whatever is taken of the numerous
schools of the devoted Christian Broth
ers, the best attended and most efficient
schools probably in the kingdom.
