[To the Editor of THE SPECTATOR]
SIR,—I share the angel's fear of butting in—but how does Mr. E. C. Ferguson reconcile his statement that "in England, Roman Catholics get no Government assistance towards the building of new schools" with some figures given in the current issue of the Universe? " There will be new Catholic schools at Carshalton, . . . New Malden . . . and East Sheen. The Surrey Education Committee will contribute 75 per cent, of the cost." "Of a new Catholic school in Carlisle, the total cost of which will be £35,000, Catholics have to find k17,500, and the local authority and the Exchequer £8,750 each."
Similar education notices appear almost weekly in the Universe, but this paper is hardly known in Enniskillen, presumably.—Yours faithfully, M. L. MAGEE. Bournemouth.
