The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 42
Note
Note.
When the following Paper was read before the Otago Schoolmasters' Association, the Bible was a school book, although as such it was much objected to by a portion of the newspaper press and the secularist party. Now, however, that it has been banished from our public schools, many people are beginning to feel alarmed for the consequences to their children. The present short address is therefore published in the hope that it may, in some slight measure, help to call public attention to the all-important necessity of having the Bible reinstated in its proper placeāthe public schools of the Colony.
