RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION.
CLASS IN LUNCH HOUR. NOT CONSIDERED ADVISABLE. Tho question of religious instruction was considered by the Education Board yesterday. At a recent meeting the board received a letter from a teacher in the country stating that he had applied to the Minister for permission to impart religious instruction to school children during tho luncheon interval, and asking for advice as to whether that time was considered to be within school hours or otherwise. The board's solicitors yesterday advised that the luncheon hour interval was outside school hours fixed for the purpose of instruction, and that they considered a school, committee would be acting within its power in granting the use of the school building for moral and religioun instruction during the luncheon interval. The board resolved to write to the teacher in question in terms of the solicitors' advice, adding that the board did not consider the recess- for luncheon should be curtailed whatever for instructional classes.
