RELIGION IN SCHOOLS.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —I wish to applaud and' second " Face It's " good effort for secular education. She is apparently a woman vigilant for the freedom of her children. As the case for secular education was thrashed out and won some 70 years ago, I would be interested to know just why it is reopened. Have our fine armies of men lacked courage and strength, or morality because of it? Or is it that the churches are lacking because of it? Is it because there are not sufficient voluntary Sunday school pupils to fill the pews later, or is it that our children must be taught religion while their minds are in the process of forming? I wish to ask the
advocates of Bible learning in schools to answer a question. Would they be in favour of a Rationalist telling the children the origin of the Bible? If not, whv not?—l am, etc., July 12. Mother of Sons.
