English Education Struggle.

THE old UNCONVENTIONAL system is dead

the sake OF a little money the bishops.
who are now grumbling, sold the pass
and let the enemy in" That IS how Mr..
Herbert Paul views the education bill
confess which is at present d~isruptinG
the English Parliament.
The fight has been wsged a long time,
and though tire House of Lords, hat
ultimate stronghold of reacuonaries and
ecclesiastcism, SO amended this bin as
to practically offer a new measure, yet
the House OF Commons overwhelmingly
rejected the proposed amendments. and
the final passage OF this or a more radi-
cal measure is only delayed.
At the bottom the question is solely
how far shau dogmauc and sectarian
theology be taught in schools that are
supported by general taxes?
Prior to 1852 the public school work was
done by board or private schools. and
voluntary or church schools. Between
them these schools, Of both sorts. edu-
Gated about six million children Of the
WOtkllh classes. Inc 'euuEdIOA AEL o.
1902 permitted the voluntary or church
schools to be assisted by local taxes.
and from that day the once subdued
murmurings Of the Roman Catholics.
Nonconformists. and Jews have in
creased. until now there Is a storm Of OBJ
lection that has brought forth the pres
ent education bin.
This much-discussed measure provides
that all schools are to be alike assisted.
but religious teaching is not 10 he dog
matte or sectarian. all religious tests for
teachers are to be abolished. and no
children are to be compelled to attend
even such religious instruction as Will
be given.
By way OF Cancellation to the Estab-
lishcd Church and the Roman Catholic
Church. the bill provides that where
f|our-nfths Of tho parents desire it. sec
tartan teaching may be permitted in
any school. II a non-sectarian school IS
LEFT for those who desire such instruction.
Against this buI are arrayed the great
majority OF tile English bishops. who see
their power being shorn: the Tory peers.
and the sacerdotal High Church party.
who sneer at an biblical teaching that
does not conform 20 their own theologi-
cal dogmas.
Ultimately the principles Of this bill
