A GILDED PILL.
CATHOLICS AND THEIR SCHOOLS. CRUSHING BURDEN BORNE. (Br Telegraph.—Press Association.) i ' DUNEDIN;. this day. Archbishop Mannix strongly criticised the educational system of Australia and New Zealand in _n address last evening. He. said it was a shame that, the Catholics had to support their own schools without help from the public. When Catholics had paid their share.of taxes, then because of their strong conscientious religious conviction they sent their children to schools, eveTy brick of which they had to pay for out of their own pockets. He did not- know how many millions of Australians had been robbed by this iniquitious practice. Some people talked as if the penal days were over,'but they were not over in New Zealand or Australia, and never would be until Catholics removed the crushing burden which they had borne for the last 50 years. They were paying for their religious convictions. The pill might be gilded, but they were taking it just the same. They were acting up to their convictions, and had schools in Australia and New Zealand, which they were proud of.
