Ho wished to pay the sonic respect‘to the religious and conscientious scrtiplos cfotliers, that he claim- ed'frotii others for his own.

Ifllit-y wished to make hotter men and butter subjects of the youth of the Colony, they would not. withhold from them the benefit of religious instruction in the public schools, by fullng to introduce the Bible, or at least the New Testament, as n schnol-liook. ..Ac- cording to the Visitor's Report. it would seem that, iftlic Bible or Tcstameiit is used in schools at all, it is used in a manner which is in some degree covert. \Vhy not acknowledge the propriety, the necessity ofthc reading- ofthc Holy Scriptures in oor‘publie schools, and regulate the practice by enactment?

Mr. I'Ioll' could frame a Bill, which (with- Oiit’ giiring offence to any party by in any wiiy exciting religious I'ejudico) would enable the Legislature to make the study of the ripturcs a part of our common school education, he (the. lion. Mr. Swabev) for one, would rejoice at it; but he feared itcnultl not be done: the atteriipt had already puzzled many wtsc heads. If, however, his hon. friend (M r. Hull) would make the attempt, he (the hon. M r, Sivzihcy) Would assist him 5 as fat (as possible. The Hon. Mr. Miicdtinald said, that us the Island was divided into districts, and clergvnien ofdill'erent denominations were re- sident iii, or iii the habit of regularly visiting most of them, would it not be possible to introduce a clause into the. preacnt Bill, requiring cvery teacher to give notice, once or twice, or even three times ti week, that a clergyman would attend the school for the purpose of imparting religions instruction to the scholai‘s—clergymen of different denominations attending to r0- tation, ifnecessziry. Give such religious books to the ditlcrcnt children as were suitable for them, according to the church to which they belorged. The children of Protestants might have and the childien of Catholics the Douay edition,either oftlie Bible or Testament. The Hon. Mr. Hull briefly explained, that he'was very far from contemplating the enforcement of any peculiar vtews upon the minds ofchildren of'ditferent religious denominations. All he wanted was, that the Scriptures should be made the founda- tion ofa moral education in our district schools. .- The Hon. Mr. Macdoriald fully appreciated the motives by which the Hon. Mr. Holl was influenced. .They were. suclias all either did or ought to entertain—tho making of religious ln- struction the basis ofgeneral education. .WIIIIOUI religion, edu- cation was much more likely to be injurious than servtccable to its possessor. _ . The Hon. Mr. Holl said, if the compulsory mode oftaxtng one third ofthe inhabitants on; district by the other two Illlll’ds, were adhered to, it ought only to apply to the lowest ass teachers. A few might wish for a teacher of the highest 0 .ass, whilst the one third, who were liable toa compulsory tax, might think a teacher of the lowest class quite competent to instruct their children as far as they Wished them to be instructed. The Hon. Mr. Brecken thought, that if this suggestion of the Hon. Mr. Hall were carried imp Operation, it might enable one- third ofthe inhabitants of a district to prevent theuither two- thirds from engaging or retaining the services ofa highest Clus teacher. The Hon. ‘habitants wished he prepared to pay i ans. - 'cf Iii; IIon.Mr. Swabey assured his lion. friend that the clause was not practically unjust.
