THE EDUCATION BILL.
DEBATE IN HOUSE OF LORDS. Received April 1, 7.55 a.m. LONDON, March 31. The Right Rev. Dr. Edwards, Bishop of St Asaph, moved the second reading of his Education Bill. He anjusd that it was calculated to secure safety, peace, uniformity and efficiency. ! The Archbishop of Canterbury stated that the Bill was not officially I put forward by the church, though it went a long way towards producing an agreement that would be favoureel, as would any settlement not involving sacrifice of the church's fundamental principles. The Earl of Crewe, Lord President of the Council, advised that the Bill should be read a second time. He believed it was an honest attempt at a settlement, though many grave questions must be met before the requirements of the country were secured. The Government thought their Bill ought to be the basis for discussion.
The Marquis of Lansdowne said the Bill stopped far short of a compromise, which would satisfy the Unionists. Not only did it contain ambiguities, but also serious omissions. The Earl of Rosebery considered the Bill was an enormous step forward. The debate was adjourned.
