Thorne, Queenslanders, participated in the discusion evoked, the former indig-, nantly denouncing the interview as a slander, and the latter asserting that the Agent-General interviewed spoke the words in soberness and truth.

The Daily Mail has published a contributed article alleging that secular education has caused a groat increase of crime in Victoria and that the re suits in Australia are deplorable and absolutely shocking.
