Church Establishment Criticised Over Colombo Bishop Issue
A critical piece argues that strong state church influence in Colombo favors the Church of England and colonial authorities, citing the cost of a bishopric, pension of a former bishop, and the tax burden on heathen populations. It calls for disestablishment in India and Ceylon, warns of secularist agitation, and urges rapid removal of the privilege to restore justice and trust.

Ecclesiastical notes on denominational fees and school control
The Guardian endorses the London School Board decision on denominational fees with reservations and expects a government proposal to modify the Education Act. It urges church schools to improve and near self sufficiency, resist large subsidies, and defend parental liberty while avoiding clashes over board inspection and control. The National Education Union rejects these moderate counsels.
