Excerpt from Remarks Occasioned by the Present Crusade Against the Educational Plans of the Committee of Council on Education This is a most unequivocal approval of the system, by a large body of clergy and laity connected with schools, impelled by no motive but that of giving a fair trial to the scheme, and is im portant, on account of the diocese from which it comes. It will generally be found that the greatest amount of petitions against the Council plans, is, from those dioceses, where the diocesan is known and felt to be unfavorable to the scheme, and where those of the clergy in official situations take an active part in stirring up the clergy to oppose it. Many, from having been so much officially connected with the National Society, can scarcely be called fair judges in the matter un prejudiced men they certainly are not; their experience has been so much of a one-sided kind, that whatever weight their Opinion may be allowed to have as to the scriptural part of education for the poor, in the secular part, and in much of what is absolutely required, it is in no way deserving of the same consideration.
