THE EDUCATION QUESTION.

United Jurors Association—By Electric TelegTaph—Copyright. LONDON, April 19. Mr Winston Churchill, speaking at Manchester, declared, on behalf of Mr Asquitb, that the education question must be settled by compromise or by the adoption of a secular system.

rAa an example of the great bitterness felt m Established Church circles in the Old Country on tho education oueetion, recent remarks by the Bishop of Manchester aro instructive. The Bishoo, in calling upon the clergy and trustees of Church schools in his diocese +« fieht the new Education Bill as S e v did that of 1000, says that "as a specimen of class legislation, of unscrupulous rapacity, and of religious intolerance in the twentieth century, the Bill will no doubt deserve a place in historical archives by the side of racks thumbscrews, boots, and other enein'es of torture." That the Bill can ever find a place in the statute book of England ho refuses to believe, but neither time nor troublo must be spared, he adds, "if it is to be defeated and relegated to its proper i'!ace in the limbo of legislative abort'ons."|
