CATHOLIC EDUCATION.
SAVING TO STATE. DUNEDIN, Tuesday. In an address at the opening of additions to St. Philomena’s Roman Catholic. College, Bishop Whyte, 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 the 1389 pupils in our secondary schools, the State would have a further bill of £41,895. Another striking item is this. If the State were called upon to teach our schools, primary and secondary, it would have to pay the teachers no less than £198,667. We are justified in protesting against the unfair treatment to which Catholic people are subjected. “ In England and in Scotland Catholics are not dealt with so unjustly. Australia and New Zealand are the worst instances of educational unfairness. Let us hope that a largo sum of conscience money may in the near future be handed to us in compensation for the immense injustice of the past.”
