GOVERNMENT INSPECTION OF CATHOLIC SCHOOLS.

TO THE EDITOR N.Z. TABLET.

Sir, — " A Christchurch correspondent " when forwarding you some few weeks ago, what seemed to him a short epistle, had no idea that it contained so large an order. You do him the honour of quoting this letter in your spirited, able, and most exhaustive leader on '• Government Inspection of Catholic schools " which appears in the N.Z. Tablet of the 19th inst. Whilst he cannot refrain from expressing his personal regret for having occupied so much of your valuable time, in addition to having put you to considerable trouble and not a little expense, nevertheless he feels thankful for having sent the letter. The information contained in the leader referred to, is so complete, and the Catholic cause and rights so ably stated, defended and upheld, that he feels satisfied every reader of the Tablet, especially of last week's issue, will feel indebted to you. You may rest assured he will endeavour to put into practice everything recommended to be done by you, as far as lie is able, and as early as possible, and he will feel thankful should you sen that six copies of the Tablet are posted at once to the enclrwed address for distribution amongst Protestants, for, thank God, the members of that sect are not all so bigoted as those comprising the Xorth Canterbury Board of Education. — I am, etc .
