MORAL LESSONS IN SCHOOLS
Sir,—lt is desirable-, at such a time as the present that all causes of unnecessary dispute -■ and dissension should be avoided. , It is therefore to be regretted that Mr. D. M. Yeats, in his letter, in your issue of the 21st inst., sTioultf have,,so twisted and misapplied a remark of mine in an address on continuation . classes. I was not speaking of the primary scEool course, but was advocating an' extondeH education beyond that course: I have not 'comq round to the opinion held by supporters of the Bible-in-Schools party." I was, and am, opposed to the league's programme, but I have never opposed the Bible in schools, as Mr. Yeats would have remembered if .he had called to mind a,resolution proposed by myself and .carried by the local branch of the Educational Institute about three years ago. . Quoting from memory, it was worded as follows:—"That this institute, while, it opposes in the best interests of education the desires of the Bible-in-Schbols League, 'would welcome any effort by the clergy to. ■give Scripture lessons in .schools."—l am, etc, H. A: PARKINSON. March 22, 1917.
