MORMONS AND THE SCHOOLS.
Just before the close of the Wellington Education Board’s meeting on Tuesday afternoon, Mr W. C. Buchanan, M.P., sounded a note of alarm on the subject of Mormonism (says the Dominion). The Mormons, he said, had been very active in the Pirinoa district of late, and several of the children attending the district State school had been led away, and were now being taught by the Mormons. He was afraid that the kind of instruction now being given was not satisfactory, and he felt that the board should instruct one of the inspectors to pay a visit to the Pirinoa school district, and see for himself what was being done. It was pointed out that care would have to be taken to see that there was no Intrusion upon the authority of the Education Department. On that understanding, Mr Buchanan’s suggestion was adopted.
