THE BIBLE IN SCHOOLS.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir,—Not long ago the Bishop of Sydney made a statement similar to that of Bishop Nevill, but in far stronger language. There must be some defect in traiuing our girls, when we hear young doctors and those who walk the hospitals declare that they would never marry a colonial girl; they must know the exact state of affairs. It sjems to me there is too much strapping and not enough moral and religious teaching, producing sullen, self-willed young people. If our senators begin with prayers, surely schools should do bo. A short passage like the Epistle and Gospel from the Prayerbook would impress young minds with the fear of God.
