New Education Bill for England.
London, April 2. There will be a rare hurley-barley throughout the country regarding Sir John Gorst's Education Bill which strikes a serions blow at the school board system and threatens to revive all the sectarian bitterness laid successfully to rest by the compromise. The jubilation with which the Church of England has received the measure is as significent as the chagrin of Nonconformists and Progressivists, who recognise in its provisions the undoing of twenty years' work. Already _mor. murs are to be heard on every "side, and the more closely the Bill is ex* amined the louder these' are likely to grow. If the Government insist on passing it in its present form their following~in the country will be seriously diminished.
