Alas! how soon ire the iupreesions of the Sunday School ov the Livie Class effaced, when not deepened by good example and careful instruction around the fumily hearth. stone, It is a great mistake tu place the schuulmister—however useiul he may be in his sphcre—in the place of the parent. Na ture hever pliced iitn in that remuon to the child, neither docs rejigion, But to return to my subjects TL stated tut sceturian schouls were less needed in towns and villages than ia the country, and 1 gave one reason for say: ing so. wil now give another: In towns the parent has the choice of two, three or tore schools to which to send his children. 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 sect, sull as long us he does not du violence to the religious conviction of any of his pu- pils,the Governinent wall not be very inquisi- tonal as to the quantity or quality of the re- Higious instruction given by him to his pupils it, tor instance, a second district were estab lished in your town, and a Catholic teacher 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 schools; {think such separation tube injurious 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. verted points of religion is Very obvious, If the minority were to establish a their own—as they would very tour do, un- der the denominational systeii—the expense Would be doubled, bot schouls would be weak, The children of the district would first becotue estranged trom cach other, and afterwards their parents, and atter a while, it) is more than provable that one or both of the | schools would go down tor want of adequate | support. ‘Loe denominational system lis al- ready been tried on this Island, and its failure fs been marked. 1 wonder Very much that in the controversy which has lately been curs ried on in our Istund Newspapers with such living in the thinly peopied country districts. | Ile has | both to the commonwealth and to religion, 1) school of | | munications, | addresses of our correspondents as a guaranty | of their good taith.
