[To THE EDITOR OP THE "SPECTATOR:] SIR, —Mixing as I do
daily with two to three thousand business men on 'Change, the miserable education controversy comes up for talk in our quieter hours. If one can gauge their views, it is, I think, a feeling of impatience, and almost disgust, at the general agitation. And very many indeed would vote for a purely. secular curriculum, and the building of schools rather than the renting of them from religious bodies. This is considered the only way out, and I for one believe we shall come to it.—I am, Sir, &c., [We most sincerely trust we shall come to nothing of the kind ; but in view of the present controversy, we are not sur- prised at the feeling of which our correspondent speaks. It is an omen which it behoves Nonconformists quite as much as Churchmen to bear in mind.—En. Spectator.]
