TO THE ELECTORS OF THE ELECTORAL DISTRICT OF DUNEDIN. f^ ENTLEMEN, — I beg to intimate that lam a candidate VUT for the honourable position of one of your representatives in Parliament. My political opinions having been fully reported iv the newspapers, you will be able to consider whether, on the whole, they are such as to commend my candidature to your favourable consideration. It cannot be expected that the views of any candidate upon all questions will be acceptable to every elector. I have, therefore, to ask you, when reviewing the merits and demerits of the several candidates, whether, all things considered, you deem me one who ia worthy of support and may be trusted to represent you in Parliament. The position I take up on the EDUCATION QUESTION. is not, I think, correctly understood by some of my friends, who seem to think that I advocate the substitution of a denominational for the present system ; that, of course, would mean abolishing the State schools. Ido not propose that, nor am I opposed to the free and compulsory system. lam quite willing that the present system shall continue, but, oelieviog as T do, i hat no sa tisfactory arrangements can be made for imparting religious instruction in the State schools, and that there are a very large number of parents who deplore the absence of such instruciion, I am in favour of a capitation grant to any other schools, the course of secular instruction in which shall include tbp compulsory subjects in the State schools syllabus, and which shall be subject to the regulations of the Education Department relating to qualification of teachers, inspection, etc. The plan I advocate would enable parents of my way of thinking to combine in establishing schools in whicn the high moral lessons to be fouDd in the Bible may be inculcated. I am persuaded that there is no unsurmountable difficulty in the way of a common understanding being arrived at between most of ttie religious denominations as to the course of religious instruction to be given. Controversial points can be avoided, and they could all agree that the children should be taught to believe in God the Great Architect of ! the Universe, and their accountability for their deeds. Such a lesson must exercise a retaining influence oa the rising generation, which would most assuredly tend to mike them better citizens. 1 am, Gentlemen, Yours respectfully, R. H. LEARY. I November 10th, 1890.
