FURTHER QUESTIONS.

Sir,—Your correspondent, "Supporter of Biblc'iii-SeJjols league," Tepiying to "Sirhis," says it is the fault "of tho debtors if they do not know tnoro <if the aims of his league thaa they did two years age. Ho. theft proceeds to tell ws again the objective of the league. Ho seems quite unaware, that ho is exactly justifying ' "Sifius" iu'whab the latter bad urged, for ho tells us ho WOro than wo knew two years ago. As the leaders of that league trill' ncter Ktvc us any more information' of their objects, I will, Sir, with your leave, ask a question, which I think merits an authorrtntivo answer from the league. Is it contemplated that a teaoli.er, in dealills; with such subjects' as tho Fall, ttoo Noaciiian Deluge, aitdtiie Tower -oJ Babel, slsalt ho at liberty to say that these are- ohJv adaptations of Babylon*ian fables? Tlio Bishop,of Wellington tells us that the best soholarslinp" <jfthe afie- assures tis that thie is so.: Does tho league, mean that pupils are to have the advantage, of tits ■ best scholarship? This is », question that is very likely to be asked by an intelligent pupU,-.especially H hfs parents happen to liayo heard the Bishop's leetoes, or to have read Ms baok. In view of the great chnngo advocated in onv education system, whicli we find has worked so tfeH for nearly-forty years, I maintain tjifs question requires ft uiain answer of "\W or "No" from a itfoperiy-avrtliori&qd exponent of th 6 leaaae. Will they" persist in their itoliey of concealment, or will they give a plain aitswo.r to a Very practical (ItiestioftP— I am, etc.,' ' , ; CfIAS, J. GOOKE. ■Kflftunic.-Ma* 4, 1914. ■
