BOARD

The following motion Was carried:-—" That the Board express its sympathy with those who desire that religious education should be given to the children of Canterbury, but does not think it - desirable that the five hours each day now given to other subjects should be. curtailed, especially as those schools and schoolmasters where religious teaching was given -would be handicapped in the. race with other schools in the' subjects of the ordinary syllabus of the! Dominion.
