RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION
Sir,-My daughter, aged nine, undergoes instruction in religion at a State. school under the Nelson system. She has been taught the following verses: We are going to the mansions on the happy day express And the letters on the engine are J.E.S.U.S. God calls out from bapveer-we gladly answer yes ; For we are going to the mansions on the happy day express. The point I wish to raise is whether teaching of this kind has any valueI leave it to New Zealanders to judge.
