EDUCATION.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir,—The discussion now going on in your columns on this subject is interesting, and the champions on either side so competent that it would be presumptuous for an outsider to step into the arena. But still, perhaps, a spectator may applaud or criticise the play. Therefore, 1 would like to say that surely Mr. Upton is attempting to prove too much by a line of reasoning which concludes in his own words thus : "and that, therefore, elementary practical religion is taught." We thus have it on very high authority that religion, even though qualified by being elementary and practical, is taught under a system which claims to ba purely .secular, and is supported by the money of the State on that ground. I would respectfully ask what is the morals of this I am, etc., J. D. Jackson.
