t Warning from Holland SCHOOLMASTER'S .WISE WORDS. Writing to a resident of Wellington, a friend who lias been a Dutch school principal for 30 years, says '"What? Are you people in Democratic New Zealand getting a Biblein-Schools question in the year 1914? ''Is the standard of the New Zealand people then still so backward as to impel them to seriously consider turning the education of their children over to a few narrow-minded clericals? "I hope, as an old teacher, and as a friend and l follower of true progress, that the elections next month will settle the reactionary education movement in such a manner that at least New Zealand will be able to educate the young people without engendering j any liate and dislike between Protestant, Catholic, Jew, or Freethinkei*. "You know what this Bible-in- Schools system lias brought about in Holland. Religions hatred and intolerance. Fight against it in New Zealand, and you do your duty to your adopted country and progress."
