A few days ago the Rifartna assured us that the account given by the Government inspectors on the condition of the schools was very ditsati. factory for the Catholic schools, that therefore it was quite possible those scho< Is would be shut up very soon, and that if such a step weia not sufficient, the Minister of Public Instruction would present to Parliament a measure concerning the teaching in some schools. Icm say, on the most reliable authority, that the statement as to the account given by the inspectors is false: on ihi oomrary, the inspectors praised some Catholic schools highly and declared that in many Governmental schools the teaching was very bad, eepecially in the Italian language. An inspector told me that «-m ? a fV n \ T yy ° UDg people wbo are not able t0 wri( e even a simple letter to tneir relative*.
