MR FORSTER ON THE EDUCATION BILL AT LINCOLNSHIRE MEETING
Delegates of the Congregational Union of Lincolnshire at Long Sutton on June 2 adopt six resolutions praising government efforts for a national education system while opposing amendments that ignore nonconformist concerns. They warn the bill may create sectarian strife and urge unsectarian clauses, plus a conscience clause, with copies to Gladstone and Forster. The article also notes support for the conscience clause from a Bournemouth meeting and reports on further Bradford and St George Hall discussions with Forster.
