How English Methodist Children are Taught.
The Westminster Gazette states that the Wesleyan Methodists have been engaged in an elaborate inquiry into the actual conditions under which the children of Wasleyan parents are now receiving their elementary education. These returns have been tabulated, and it appears that, taking the whole of England and Wales, two-thirds of the Wesleyan children of the country are compelled by law to attend Church of England and Roman Catholic schools. In a typical district, it appears that oat of 3,146 children dealt with in the returns, 2,188 are compelled to altend Church of England (or Roman Catholic) schools because these are the only schools in the parishes where they reside, and 427 others are under a similar compulsion because the distance to any other school is too great to permit of their attending. Thus 2,565 Wesleyan children, out cf 3,146, or five sixths of the total number, have absolutely no choice but to attend schooli where religious instruction repugnant to parents is given.
