BIBLE IN SCHOOLS.
The Ministers’ Association wrote to the College Street School, Palmerston, suggesting to the School Committee at its meeting on Thursday last, that the school should go in half an hour earlier on one day of the week, to permit of Scripture lessons being given before the school duties begin. The Committee, while strongly in favour of Bible reading in schools, could not see its way to agree to the course suggested, but was willing to allow lessons to be given for half an hour before or after school hours on one or two days of the week, and members commented on how lamentably little knowledge of the Bible was possessed by the average child of to-day. It was decided to fully consider the matter at the next meeting.
