CATHOLIC EDUCATION.
ATTITUDE OF THE STATE. COMPLAINT BY BISHOP WHYTE. [Dt TELECrRArH. —OWN CORRESPONDENT.] DUNEDIN, Tuesday. Tn an address at the opening of additions to St. Philomena's Roman Catholic College, Bishop Wliyte, of Dunedin, said: " By providing our own system of education we are saving the State £263,484 a year on primary education alone. Again, if we were to hand over tho 1389 pupils in our secondary schools, the State would have a further bill of £41,895. Another striking item is this. If the State wero called upon to teach our schools, primary arid secondary, it would have to pay tho teachers no less than £198,667. We are justified in protesting against tho unfair treatment to which Catholic pcoplo are subjected. " In England and in Scotland Catholics are not dealt with so unjustly. Australia and New Zealand aro tho worst instances of educational unfairness. Let us hope that a large sum of conscience money may in the near future be handed to us in compensation for tho immense injustice of tho past,"
