GODLESS SCHOOLS.
I —=■ The relatively high material well-be-ing of the country may, indeed (as the Hon. Db Findlay opines), have something to do with this relaxation of parental control, this easy-going domestic management, this lack of juvenile respect, this slump in the disciplinary influences of religion. But there arc two circumstances that tho speaker seems to have left out of sight and cut of mind: (1) The time covered by this domestic and moral landslip coincides with the period (thirty-one years) during which God and religion and ihe influences of religion have been banished from the public school system of New Zealand. And (2) this deplorable policy is (as we have shown elsewhere) sufficient by itself alone to account for the slip-away that our Minister of Justice so heartily deplores. Of the two causes here assigned, it is easy enough to' determine which follows the lines of the greater suspicion.—"New Zealand Tablet.”
