Edueation Amendment.
SPECIAL TO CARMAN. WELLINGTON, Oet 29. The second reading ef the Education Amendment Bill occupied the House all this (Friday) evening, and into the small hours of the morning. -Most of the speakers who followed the Ministei wore in favour of the loyalty clauses and the general provisions of the Bill. The I .aboil r members took another view, hut they were unusually cautious 1 " in their expressions of opinion. Possibly they had an eye upon the Auckland East electorate. It ivas no. until after midnight that -Mr Holland toolc the floor and spent the best part of half an hour condemning the attitude and actions of the Government, in connection with tlie case of Aliss Weitzel, who was convicted in .Wellington of circulating seditious literature. He suggested that the brutal Alinister for Eduntiocn had used tlie sledge hammer against "a poor little girl,” who was not to blame for her German parent-
age. Tiie debate showed that several members on the opposite side of tiie House - while not condoning disloyalty, were disposed to believe that tiie Minister was making proposals that at least were uiitactful, and might prove irritating to loval, independent persons. Tiie Bill was read a second time without n division.
