Thesenseoffairplaymaybeseen alreadyinfluencingmenofwhomoppositiontoCatholicclaimsmight,without surprise,beexpected.Takeforinstance theProtestantBishopofMelbourneofhisownstudyofthequestion,Dr. MOORHOUSEhaslongsincearrivedat theconclusionthatreligionshouldbe taughtintheSchoolsandhehasrepeatedlyputonrecordhishonest approbationofCatholicclaimsinSchool matters.Again-inEnglandthechange inpublicopinionisdaybydaygrowing morenoticeable.Manyadmititisunjustandnearlyallarecomingtoseeit isuselesstotrytoforceCatholics againstthedictatesoftheirconscience.

TILEELEMENCARYEDUCATIONAC

THEbilltoamendtheEducationAct recentlybroughtforwardbythehon. memberfortheValise,Mr.CAREY,has beenthrownout.Itwillbewithinthe recollectionofourreadersthatimmediatelyupontheadoptionofthe amendedby-lawsoftheCentralBoard in1877,wepointedouttheprejudicial effectwhichmustresulttotheAssisted schoolsinrequiringfromthemaminimumaverage,comuchabovethat necessaryforthemaintenanceofa purelyGovernmentSchool.Inpurely GovernmentSchools,anaverageattendanceof12pupilsissufficient,tosecure supportfrompublicfunds;but ifinanAssistedSchooltheaverage of20cannotbekeptup,theManagers ofsuchcannothopeforaidfrom Government.

Underthecircumstancesthen,we werenotsurprisedthatMr.CARET sought,bymakingtherequiredaverage inAssistedSchcolsmoreinaccordwith whatissufficientforthemaintenance ofpurelyGovernmentSchools,towipe outtheinvidiousdistinction.
