BIBLE IN SCHOOLS
RATIONALIST LECTURE The statement that the association of religion with secular education was a retrograde step, was made last evening by the Rev. C. H. Chappie in the course of an address at the Strand Theatre, under the auspices of the Rationalist Association. Mr. H. Ingram presided, and it was reported that there were 3400 people present. The lecturer moved the following motion, which was carried unanimously:. "That this meeting of citizens is of the opinion that any departure from the system of secular education in our State schools, as founded by our pioneer forefathers 60 years ago, would cause ceaseless and bitter strife in -the ■ community, and be detrimental to the interests of education and the children and teaching staffs."
