THE EDUCATION QUESTION.
Mr HsVleoinli.e .is cndcavori'iip; to work up the' Education Question. A few days ago, at Halcoinbo, we noticed/" Vote for Hn'lcqmbe mid Secular Education." ,lv tills "squib" there is an attempt to reflect- on Mr Johnston's' views. Beferriug to Mr' Johnston'* -.speech, lie find he expressed himself a', follow.s, nptl.ll the question :—■• He thought so long as the State maintained the schools they should be secular. Speaking as a Catholic, the one -seventh could not ;expect .th'ts six-sevenths to adopt tboi? particular- views, bvifc it would not be ungenerous tlio Hoiisa&reooumseti the claim of one-seventh to assistance," ;ai;. they contributed a seventh of the taxep. jtitk With those- views we thorougnly apreo, on grounds of justice. Mr Johnston will uphold the State schools as purely secular, but favors assistance being granted to Catholics,-: .who, although contributing oneseyenth of the whole amount devoted to Education, are unable at present, from conscientious reasons, to derive any beneriLfrorii tiie'^tate- .system.
