PUBLIC SCHOOL EDUCATION.
ATTACKED BY CARDINAL; MORAN. (By Electbio Telegraph—Copyright.) (Per Press Association.) , SYDNEY, Feb. 6. Cardinal Moran, in distributing prizes, made an attack on the Minister for Education. Ho said that the Scripture lessons given in Public Schools were not only irreligious, but defective in literary merit. The Minister for Education had said that the lessons were the joint production of Anglican and Catholic prelates, Archbishop Whateley and Bishop Murray. The statement, said Cardinal, was.a falsehood, and such a barefaced one that the Minister either made it knowing it to be false, and if so was unfit for the place he held, or he made the. statement through inconceivable ignorance, in which case he was educationally not qualified to be Minister for Education. The Cardinal ■ declared that nonsectarian education as it was called was nothing more than a nondescript system of irreligious belief which might be more or less conformable to Protestant principles and consistent with Protestant tenets, but as viewed L>y Catholic's was a stereotyped system of infidelity and agnosticism.
