Late Advertisements. TO THE ELECTORS OF THE CAVER- ' SHAM DISTRICT. Dunedin, June 6, 1873. Gentlemen,— i find some of my friends have misunderstood my opinions regarding the functions of the Provincial Council and the Education Question; I therefore deem it my duty to state definitely my views upon those matters. Functions of the Provincial Council.—l am reported to have said that the sols business of the Provincial Council should be the judicious expenditure of the public funds. What I did say was, the appropriat on of the revenue was one of its most important duties. There are of course other matters of great importance which the Council has power to legislate upon, and which are not beyond the capacity of an intelligent business man. Education. —It is upon this subject more particularly that my ideas have been misconstrued. A report has got abroad that I favor the denominational system —a system to w’hich, I beg most distinctly to state, I am thoroughly opposed. Under the denominational system the religious doctrines of the majority are taught in the schools, the effect of which is that in a country district where one school only is required, the children of various denominations representing the minority, must go without instruction unless their parents are content they should receive it strongly flavored with doctrines to which they arc opposed. In stating my views upon this question, I was under the impression that the course of instruction pursued in our common Schools, seriously reflected upon, if it did not ridicule, the religion of the Roman Catholics ; and I stated that if it could be shown to me that such was the case, that the school accommodation m the City of Dunedin was insufficient, and that the religious denomination I referred to had the required number of children to constitute a main school, under such circumstances, I should meet the difficulty by granting them the necessary school accommodation, and the customary assistance to the teachers, on condition that the school should be under the supervision of the Government Inspector, and that the requirements of the Ordinance were complied with. Such a case, however, is not likely to a iae, as I find that the course of instruction which obtains atpresent in our common schools, is such that rib good grounds can be urged why all denominations should not avail themselves of the present system ; and I shall therefore strongly oppose any alteration in it. I am, Gentlemen, Your obedient Servant, KiCHARD H. LEARY. KEW ZEALAND STEAM SHIPPING COMPANY. THE s.s.
