As to the National Establishment, I am sorry to say
in regard to the placing one of the youths in question there, no I am
sorry to say I cannot but apprehend some difficulty. If
I am rightly informed, in addition to passages out of the
New Testament, there are doctrine peculiar to the Church of England,
and for aught I know to declare their believe of them:
but as to this I last matter point, I can not at this moment
speak with certainty. I have been informed that Meantime, if what heard I have been told is true at Lisbon
there has always existed, in consequence of the connection between
the two countries, a sort of little colony in which youths are bred
up in Church of Englandism: if so, in youth from thence Lisbon, having reasonable advantage of the Portuguese for his native language, would
find no difficulty in following the lessons in the Church of England
School here. But in that case, could he be made to answer the purpose
of Schoolmaster for the instruction of Catholic children? This
is a question for you, Sir, to resolve. Be this as it may, the
difficulty, such as it is, for is get the better of in Buenos Ayres. At the worse, the two youths, one or both of them,
is after having been bred in the British and Foreign School
might be permitted for a short time to attend the lessons
at the National School, without taking any part in them
this I think I could make sense of.
I should not have thought this divinity of Schools worth remembering,
were it use for any having heard from some
intelligent men who are as averse to the exclusionary
system as I am, that the National School has the a
remarkably able Manager, and that in consequence the
scheme of instruction is, in that School, on some points
rather better conducted than in the other.
