DIOCESAN SYNOD
RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION IN SCHOOLS. Per Press Associate in. Dunedin, last night. The Anglican Diocesan Synod was opened this afternoon. The Bishop's address dealt mostly with diocesan matters, but at service in the evening he dealt with religious questions. Dealing with teaching in schools, he said the voting on’ the scheme recently put before the peoplo showed that the conscience of the people is still far from seared as to the spiritual ignorance of children, for which lie was truly thankful. As to the schemo itself, lie thought it totally inadequate. lie still favors the New South Wales schemo, which allows ministers or accredited agents to enter schools at specified times and give religious instruction to children belonging to their own denomination.
