London, May 14,
Mr Cogblan, in a letter to the Times, emphatically denies that crime has greatly increased iu Australia sines tbe abolition of State aid to Denominational schools. Ho cites statistics to show that during the last thirty years the arrests in Now South Wales and Victoria deolinod considerably, more than one-third, the greatest improvement since 1890. As regards serious crime the improvement is equally satisfactory. The actual confinees in Australian prisons are considerably loss now than twenty years ago. The Australian native born is far less given to crime than those educated elsewhere.
