EDUCATION.
TO THE EDITOR,
Sir—Your remarks as to the place which in my lecture on Education I assigned to parental religious teaching would have been more just, if you had quoted the end of the ! paragraph you refer to. It ran thus : "it j is true a mother's lessons in religion are worth all the school teaching that can be imagined, yet he must be himself very igno- ;] rant of religion who can suppose that such > home instruction does not require, in a large ; number of instances, to be supplemented by the skilful and regular routine of religious lessons in school."
You say, "granted that religion is an essential part of education," and, at the same time, speak of men possessed of learning, ability, and all the qualifications requisite to be a professor," but without, as I understand you, the qualifications requisite for teaching religion. May I ask whether it is possible for an educator to possess all the essential qualifications for teaching, and yet be unable to teach one essential part of education?—l am, &c, 11. L. Stanford, Parsonage, Tokomairiro, December 2nd.
