THE CHINESE SCHOOL.

Press Assn—By telegraph—Copyright. (Received May 13, 9.55 a.m.) SYDNEY, This Day. A member of the committee of the Chinese School declares that the statements made at the Presbyterian Assembly.; are nothing less than a string of-.-< groundless charges, and publishes a letter forwarded to the Moderator of the Presbyterian Assembly on March 26, embodying the findings of the committee. Prominent Chinese, who examined into the working of the school and the Rev. Young Wai's charges to the committee, found that children, in paying obeisance to Confucius, were not doing so to an idol, but to the founder of Chinese logic. The religious beliefs of the children Mere in no way prejudiced by the teacher, and idolatrous worship was absolutely forbidden. All the committee desired and asked was a simple apology from Rev. Young Wai. This was not forthcoming.
