PAAR ION - THE BISHOP OF HEXAM ON PRIMARY EDUCATION,

On the important subject of Primary Educa- tion the Bishop of exam, in,a regent pastoral, Says -—

“Tf evey there was a time when we ought, all of us, to bestir ourselves in the cause of education, but especially in that of our Catho- lic poor, itis now, when such efforts are being made to deprive primary education in thie country of whatever power it may possess v ‘bringing up children in the way in which they svould walk’? Prov xxii.6. We are perfectly aware that in a mere pastoral letter as this is, it would be impossible for us to ex- plain to you, as we should wigh to do, the system of primary education as it now exists in this country; the new system which it hus been

proposed to substicute in ité stead; and the |

great evils that, were that system to be adopt ed, would inevitably ensue and fall, with all their weight, upon our poor children and upon our peor schools Happily. the prospects now are that the proposed a/te ation in the system of | rinary education in England will not be made. But the danger is not yet wholly past,and,there fore,it is perhaps well for you to be reminded of aome of the evil consequences that would fol- low were the alteration to take place. You are, no doubt, awme that there is an educa- tional bill being at present debated for Scot-

land, which, were it to be allowed to pass in its original form, would, in practice,

exclude all religious and doctrinal teaching from primery education in that country, and the consequence would be that the Catho lies in Scotland, unless they were both able and willing to maintain a sufficient numbe: of pure'y Catholic schools of their own, and, at the same time, to pay the government eda cational rates, wou!d have to allow their child.

RECENT APPOINTMENTS.

Tak Hon. Joseph Hensley has been sworn in as an Assistant Jadze of the Supreme Court.

torney General, and Louis H. Davies, Esquire, son of Hon. B. Davies, has been appointed his successor? The Hon. F Kelly has not been appoir.ted Colonial Secretary; the Hon. B. Davics has been nominated to that office. It is currently reported that the Attorney Geveral- shjp was offered to the Hon. E. Palmer, and that a seat at the Council Board was offered to the Hon G. Beer. Both gentlemen declined .the proffered honors. We shali, on a fature occasion, make sqme remarks on the political situation. The Hon. Mr. Davies, by the acceptance of office, has vacated his seat for the House of Assembly, and must again ran ius election for Belfast. It is very doubtful whether he would succeed were a popular candidate wishing to do justice to all denomi- nations in the matter of education to oppose him. Mr. Davies received the Catholic vote at the last election ; at the coming election he need not count for ove vote from the Catholics throughout the entire district, not because he isa Protestant,but because he wishes to perpetuate injustice by compelling Catholics to support purely Protestant institutions. The Catholie vete will be cast for the Protestant candidate, whe will openly avow his Ceterminatior to support Christianity against infidelity, justice against tyranny, religious liberty against State domination, and the sacred rights of parents against State schoolism. Mr. Davies will have, we suppose, as his motto:—*‘S ate Schools, or Infidel Edueation.”’ His oppon- ent, we dare say, will have the following one: “ Religious Education vs. Infidelity ’”

to schools where they would receive no other instruction but that which was Culviniastic or wholly godless. You are, no doubt, also aware thata Bill, whch in its consequences would be very similar to that which 1s being debated for Scotland, has lately been propos ed in Parliament to be passed for this country. Now, although it has been withdrawn for the present session, and will not probably, when it is brought on again, be allowed to pass in its original furm, yet, were it to be so passed, the whole system of primary educatiun, in Enziand also, would undergo a complete change. For trom beiny, as it now isy what is termed de- nominational. %. e, inclueing religious aud dvctiinal teach ng, it would thea become in practice, and that in spite of any conscience clause which mizht be devised, wholly secular, ad would therefore, as sucb, exclude from all schools receiving Goverament aid any teaching that waseither relizious ur doctrina!, And what would be the consequences if such a ball were passed, in the first place,as regards our poor schools? A great vumber of then which de- pend so much upon the aid which they re- crive from Government would have either to be shut up, or, unless they received support from some other source, be wretchedly muin- tai.ed And then, as to our poor children, what would become of them? Such of them as had parents who would be both able and willing to pay for them ata purely Catholic school, and yet at the same time pay the Gov- ernment educational rate, would of course be seut to those pureiy Catholic schools which might be found still 10 exist. But what would become of tuose children, and the number of them would likely we very great, who-e par- ets were-too pour to meet this duuble expense, or were careless or indifferent Catholics? The children of such parents would undoubtedly either be sent to the Gov-rnment schools, where they would receive nothing but godless instruction, or be allowed to yrow uf in ig- norance and consequen ly in vice And we would here bey to cuuiion you, dearly beloved children in Jesus Christ,not to allow yon: selves to be led away by any of those false ideas which at present prevail in this country on the subject of education, We wou!d have you vw bear in mind that truly Catholic prin ciple which declares that “ education from which the knowledze of God is excluded, or, in other words, which has not religion tor us basis, is not deserving of the name of educa- tion.” Education has a two-foid duty to dis- charge, a two fuld function to perform. It has tO infurm the head or mind, aud to train the conscience or heart. And on what subject, above every other, ought the mind of the child to be informed, ard to the discharge of what duty ought its couscience to be trained ? Surely it ought, in tne first instance, to be taught the kuowledve both of Him who creat- ed it, and of the end or object for which it has been so created; and in the secoud iustance, it ought to be trained to the use of those means by which that end is to be obtained We have, all of us, been created by the Al- mighty God, to know, love, and serve Him in this world, in order that we may be happy with him in the world to come, The chiid has therefore to be to taught not only to know kuow Ged and all tnose his revealed truths, which it is uecessary for it to know in order to be saved, but it has also to be trained to the exercise of that threefold duty it owes to God, to its neighber, and to itself; upon the faithful di-charge of which its salvation also de pends, ‘This doctrinal teaching and relizious training necessarily torms the basis of all Christian education, insomuch so, that what ever secular teaches Or training is subversive of it, ought to chewed. And yet it has been proposed in Parhament to exclude al! such yeligious and doctrinal teaching from pimary education iu this country. Why, eveu in the system of education which at pre- sept prevails, denominational though it be, such 1s the preponderance that is given to mere secular instruction over religious and doctrinal teaching, that the evils arising therefrom are both sad and numerous. We learn from officia! reports on popular educa tion in Kagiand that hundreds ct poor child- rev are to be fuund wko do not know what Gd is, who Jesus Christ is, or that after d-ath heaven awaits the good and hell the wicked. They know no prayers, and hence they say none; and as tie ¢ ie: motive which ress. ains them, whilst children, from commit- ting crime is the mere servile fear of the ervil law, when they grow up their passions, which they have never been taught to control, over- rule that fear, and furnish the sad and disyust ing accuunts of crime with which the news- papers are daiy filled. How fearfully, then, wiil crime increase if ali religious teaching be excluded from the education which the rising generation wiil have to receive. Infidelity has already made great way in the country, it will then advance with sti'l more rapid strides Its immorality is already disgusting, it will then become openly shameful, Lave compassion, therefore, on our poor children, whose educa tional wants, even as things are, are still very great, but which will become immeasurably greater shou'd the proposed alteration as to the system of primary education in this country be allowed to take place. You can in no way better serve those wants than by generously contributing towards augmenting the funds or the Cathvlic poor school committee. We exho t you to do this with all earnestness, and in do- ing so, to look forthe reward of your charity irom Jesas Christ himself, who has expressly commanded to us to ‘allow little children to come to Him and to prevent them not,’ and who has also promised by the mouth of Tis prophet ‘that they who shall instruct others unto justice shall shine like stars for ali eterus ity.”
