It most frequently happens that one or more
of these schouls are taught Ly teachers of the
same religious belief as himself. te is at
liberty tu send his children to any one ot
these schouls, if they are not already over-
crowded. hough the teacher is forbidden
by law to touch the tenets of any particular

it, tor instance, a second district were estab

employed by one district und a Protestant by
another, as Would tost likely be the case,
the Catholics would most provably send their
children to the school under the care of the
Catholic teacher, and the Mrotestants to that
taught by the Protestant. If no complaints
were made the school visitor would not cate-
chise very stiicdy either teacher as to how
often he spoke tu the children about religion,
or the precise words le used. For my own
part Lum very far from approving of separat-
ing children of diflerent creeds in ditterent

only use the illustration to shew that it d
howin onal schools arg needed they are
needed less in the towns than they are in the
j country; for in a country district the child,
whatever the creed of its parents, must ot
necessity go tu the school which is nearest to
his home; he has no choice. The teacher
chosen by a majority af the trustees way or
may hot huld the same religious Opinions as
his parents. The chances are that his opin-
ions on religious matters are quite ditferent
from a very respectable minority of his em-
ployers, Lhe necessity of a teacher in such
circumstances being silent upon all contro.
