A CATHOLIC PROTEST. (Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, Nov. 3. At a meeting of the Dominion Executive of the New Zealand Catholic Federation the following resolution w’as carried unanimously, and copies were, ordered to be sent to the Prime Minister, Minister of Education, and Leaders of the Opposition and Labour Parties: "That the New Zealand Catholic Federation strongly protests against the clause in the Education Amendment Act now before Parliament abolishing the right of pupils to hold scholarships at other than State secondary schools.
