RELIGIOUS FREEDOM AND PARENTS'…
RELIGIOUS FREEDOM AND PARENTS' RIGHTS. THE friends of religious liberty have done well to commence organizing in advance against the confiscatory and intolerant Education Bill which the Government threatens to introduce next Session. The Parents' League, with so earnest and dis- tinguished a friend of education as the Marquess of SALISBURY at its head, offers to any citizen who is in favour of maintaining religious liberty, an opportunity of assist- ing in resisting the Government measure. It is called the Parents' League, because the right of parents to decide, what religious teaching their children shall receive is in question but all who are in favour of the parental right may join. We take it that one of the objects of the League will be to admit full local control, provided that the liberty of the parent be not infringed. What Nonconformists mean bv full lor»al control is control by Nonconformists. What they mean by religious freedom is freedom to teach the Bible according to nebulous Nonconformist views, and to for- bid definite religious teaching in schools which have been built and for many years largely maintained by the money of Church- men. They refuse to contribute towards the support of schools in which the doc- trines of the Church are taught, and they would compel Churchmen to support schools in which the neo-doctrines of Noncon- formity are taught. In short, the Radical- Nonconformist idea of religious liberty is liberty for you to do as we please." The headquarters of the Parents' League are in London. Its right wing is in Manchester, where the Bishop who played so courageous a part in the great fight of 1906, and Mr F. E. SMITH, the brilliant Conservative M.P„ have placed themselves at the head of a movement for mobilizing the immense force of Lancashire opinion in favour of parents' rights and religious teaching. Such an organization will be irresistible in its opposition to the Bin-irresistible if only for this reason, that if the Bill passed in the form threatened by the Government, national resistance would make the Bill a lead letter. The one thing necessary is to let the Government see that the country is in earnest. That can best be done by -allying to the support of the Parents' league, and enlisting under the banner of religious Freedom. a — NOTES. On Wednesday evening Mr F. P. Light- foot presided over a meeting held at the Devil's Bridge, for the purpose of considering a proposal for the establish- ment of a social club and reading room for the village. The chairman outlined the scheme which he had drawn up, and which the meeting cordially endorsed. He said that he was prepared to close the hotel each. evening at 8 p.m. to all but bona fids travellers, and place the new refreshment room at the disposal of the young people for evening recreation. The meeting I warmly supported the proposal, and it Was decided to form a club. The rules adopted prohibit the use of intoxicants, and gambling and political and religious discussions are strictly forbidden. A committee was formed, and a meeting to enrol members will be held forthwith. The chairman's practical. sympathy with the movement was marked by the passing of a cordial vote of thanks. We are glad to note that the Aberyst- wytb lown Council have favourably con- sidered the application of the Bowling Green Club for a plot-of land and thai they have referred the question to the Surveyor to report on a suitable site If the green is to be ready for the season tha matter should be pushed through without any delay, and we shall expect to see a report brought in at the next Council meeting. o AT WwkrpMrr Vau £ han Da vies, M.P., rti t' fli. o18' °f Borfcb' ^tended the meeting of the Sea Defence Commission, and gave evidence in support of the claims of Aberystwyth and Borth for favourable consideration by the Commission. The Commissioners have visited Cardigan Bay and have seen for themselves the alarming extent of the inroads made by the sea, and they must feel that in the case of Borth, facts laid before them by Mr Davies and Mr Lewis are not one bit exaggerated. Ife is quite beyond the means of local authori- Z!l tes o g it an incessant warfare against the sea, and the work should be taken in hand by a Government department, and met by contributions from the Exchequer. The time of the Town Council on Tuesday was chiefly taken up with a discussion on the estimates, and the proceedings lasted for fully three hours. The report of the Inance Committee, which was presented by Councillor T. J. Samuel, and, supported by his vote, recommended a rate of 3/3 in the pound, which is an increase of 1/4 upon the same period of last year. It has invariably been the policy of the Council to make » lower rate for the winter than that for the summer, and no one can have one word top say against such a proposal, provided al- ways that the liabilities of the town are boldly faced and no payments are shelved. But unfortunately this has not been the case of late years, for we are told—there was no denial of the facts -that the town is i3,000 behind in its payments, and in consequence has to pay j £ 15 per week interest. These assertions provoked a long, and at some points angry, discussion, but through- out the proceedings the one outstanding feature was the fact that owing to the frenzied desire on the part of a section of the Council for low rates and in order to curry favour with voters at the elections payments that ought to have been included in the estimates were put on one side. Even at Tuesday's meeting we had the extraordinary proposal made that the Council should deplete the water works depreciation fund and attach some of the workmen's houses reserve fund for the purpose of relieving the rates. We are glad such an unsound proposition was defeated, and, that the saner policy pre- vailed of fachig the liabilities. If the ratepayers complain they have only the weak kneed section of the Council te blame for having led them into the present predicament, and their thanks are really due to the majority who voted for the^ew rate and who have determinedly put their foot down against any further juggling with the Corporation finances. °
