STATE AID FOR SCHOOLS
DISCUSSION AT DUNEDIN PRESBYTERY. (PRESS ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM.) 3>I7NEDIN, July 2. A deputation representing a suburban church waited on the Dunedin Presbytery to-day in support of a resolution strongly disapproving of the action of tho Church in accepting State aid for denominational schools, thus assisting those who were attempting to drap down the national system of education. The deputation contended . that tho principles of the Presbyterian Church were against State aid for its schools. If its schools received scholarships, the Church would be allying itself with a body that was attempting to break down State education. The following motion was carried:— "That this Presbytery is not prepared to djrect the governors of any college within its control to refuse admission to a pupil merely because tho said pupil holds a scholarship." The mover Cthe Rev.'Mr Ivilpatrick) said the Presbyterian Church-did not Tcceivo any aid from the State for its schools, nor had it asked for State aid.
