Excerpt from The Canada Educational Monthly, Vol. 21: January to December, 1898 N seeking for words to set forth the nature of human education we become aware of the largeness and complexity of the subject. Human nature is so vast, and the aspects which it presents are so numerous, that we do not easily give an account of its moral and intellectual history and discipline. Thus, we may think of the Church of Christ as the Gar den of the Lord; and then the sons of the Church will be as the young plants, or, again, the Church is represented as a Temple, an habitation for God through the Spirit; and then the daughters may be thought of as the polished corners of the Temple, for beauty and ornament.

Excerpt from The Canada Educational Monthly, Vol. 10: And "School Magazine", January to December, 1888 "Men would hardly fight about the best method of going up a ladder; but a hundred battles have been fought on the best method of training a child." So writes the about conditions or limitations shall it be author of Ecce Deus; and it is evident that the battles have not all been fought yet. We need not wonder that diversity of views should prevail regarding the matter of religious teaching in the Public Schools. I accept Mr. Le Sueur's ''open letter" in the issue of the Monthly for December as the honest and candid expression of his convictions on this subject, and I shall endeavour to state my objections to his position in the "spirit of candour and equit)" in which he desires that discussion should be carried on. There are at least three distinct questions which need to be answered, and which are variously answered, in connection with this matter: (1) Shall there be a religious element in the education of our children in the Public Schools? (2) Shall the Bible be used in imparting religious instruction? (3) If so, under what used? I am not quite sure what answer Mr. Le Sueur would give to the first question; but, if I have not misapprehended the drift of his letter, he would answer it in the negative. True, he speaks with approval of recognizing or being conscious of "a Cause behind all other causes," and of feeling "that the true word and righteous deed have a warrant higher than human society can vouchsafe"; but he does not admit that this belief about "the supernatural" should be inculcated on the children. Two passages in his letter seem to imply the contrary: (1) "In this country we are supposed to enjoy religious liberty. By this I understand that all creeds, positive and negative, stand on an equality before the law - that, so far as the action of the State is concerned, no man either reaps any advantage or is placed at any disadvantage on account of his religious opinions."

Excerpt from The Canada Educational Monthly, Vol. 22: January to December, 1899 The event to which allusion has just been made suggests the re ection that, unique in this respect among Cana dian Universities, mcgill owes Loth ing to the State, but everything to the enlightened liberality of private citi zens. As one stands on, the time worn steps of the old Arts Building, bearing the name of the first bene factor, the eye falls successively on buildings associated with the names of the merchant princes of Montreal the Molsons, Redpath, Workman, Mc Donald, and the present noble Chan cellor, Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal. And, as in the old Arts Build ing and its somewhat irregular exten sions and additions we read the record of the University's past struggles, _so in the group of stately structures which have sprung up around it, and in their unrivalled equipment, we see the testi mony of its achieved prosperity and success and mark the prophecy of a brilliant future.
