CORRESPONDENCE.
To tub Editor op the Nelson Evening Mail. Silt, — You seem to have considered the question put to you by our Protestant neighbor, whoever he may be, on the other side of the Bay, to be of a puzzling nature. But mig*bt I suggest thnt probably the true answer would be that our public schools, being unsectarian, ought no more to teach Protestantism than Catholicism, Judaism, Mahometanism.Unitarianism, Mormonism, or any other religion ? Sometime since a few of the pious people of Nelson were much scandalised at a report that one of their school teachers had omitted a few 'lessons in one of the reading books which had reference to religion, but as long as we are so divided in religious creeds, is it not better far to keep all teaching connected with it out of our schools ? I am, sir, yours &c, Nemias.
