More than any other one thing the

Immediately passed an Education Re

abolition of religious tests for teachers.
1t may be remarked in passing that
none but members of the Church Of
England are permitted to teach in the

killed by the house Of lords, and even

THE BRITISH CRISIS

time were quite as bad as the famous
York shire school which Dickens made
forever famous in Nicholas Nickleby
After the report of 1915 it was pro-
posed to reform the school system, but
the Church and the bishops violently
opposed il. 1t was not until 1858 that
the work of reform was begun. But
even then nothing was done TO estab-
lish schools the only provision being
made was for aiding schools already
established.
In 1870 and educational bill was passed
in which for the first time public ele-
mentary schools were established on
basis which attempted to place primary
education within the reach of every
body The Church was given practically
complete control of the schools. But
these schools were not free. 1t was not
until 1891 that the schools were made
free.
The Church had found by this time
that the school system, which IL had
opposed so bitterly, was under its con-
troll a most efficient engine for in
creasing the power of the Church in
the community. An effort was made
in 1891 to destroy the UNCONVENTIONAL
schools but it was unsuccessful.
Division of Schools.
The elementary schools, in point of
the number of pupils in attendance are
divided practically evenly between the
Voluntary Schools and the Board OF
Schools The Voluntary Schools are
Church schools in which denominational
orthodoxy is a large part of the teach
ing These under the act of 1870, re-
ceived aid from the national treasury.
The Board Schools, supported by local
taxes and governed by locally elected
School Boards gave religious inStruc-
| ton, but excluded UNCONVENTIONAL
teaching In 1902 Mr.. Balfour introduce
| ed an Educational BIZ which national
| lied the Voluntary Schools and incor-
porated them with the Board Schools
| in one national system, the two sys-
| TENS sharing equally in the public
purse, but the control and domination
| living in the Voluntary Schools, whose
! governing boards are selected, not by
the people, but in effect by the church.
This forced the -Conformist schools
under the control of the Established
| Church.
This Bill was met by passive resist
ance", which was the refusal on the
| part of the Nom COnformists TO pay the
taxes levied for school purposes under
what they held to be an unjust law.
For this many were imprisoned, and
| the household furniture and personal
/ effects of the passive ressters were
| sold to satisfy the claims for taxes

each day is devoted TO religious in
struction of a UNCONVENTIONAL charac-
ter by Church of England teachers If
the present constitutional revolution
is successful. and the Veto OF the house
of lords is abolished 1t is certain that
the school system will be taken from
control OF the Church
In view of these things il is not
strange that Liberals should say that
the Church SIS ranged on the side Of
authority as against liberty, on the side
Of ariStocracy as against democracy,

says that God is the Universe, but
the Bible tells us that in the begin

before its creation. She denies hell,

Bible affirms most EXPLICITLY. She
denies the existence of sense, conse-

of three rooms and the same number
of beds, but the proprietor was the
proud parent of nine wild and woody
looking sons of under Il years of age.
After a supper of hog and HON ny"
the host said to one of the boys:
Come, Billy get the broom straws"
Nine broom straws of unequal
lengths were produced by Billy"
The father hid them in his hand in
such a manner that only an end Of
boy drew straw
"Ha, hal" said the merry parent,
jovially Bill, you an Buck an 'Lige
git the short ones"
What does that mean" asked the
guest, whose look of amusement faded
away when his host said:
Mean? Why, that's little way we
have o settling which three Of 'em
shall sleep with anybody that happens
TO stop overnight with us.
