[To THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR:1
SIR,—There are many, both lay and clerical, up and down the country who cordially approve of the method of dealing with the Education Bill which you have outlined in your last issue. But in Church circles in most parts of the land the voices of such men are being overborne by the clamour of indiscriminate denunciation. In the interests of education, of national peace, of religion, and of the Church, it is surely desirable that this minority of Churchmen should be audible. Is it possible for Churchmen who agree to the principle of public control and all which that involves to unite their scattered forces and press home such amendments as you suggest, and thus aid in making the Bill a final settlement of this long-drawn con- troversy? You, Sir, have indicated wisely and well the best line of action. We cannot expect you to do more. I, for one, will humbly and gladly follow any one who will carry the flag of reasonable compromise. Many loyal Churchmen
