ItputanendtoawelltriedsystemofStatesubsidiestochurchbodiesto enablethemtoeducateWest Australianchildrenalong well-provedChristianlines.

ItbrokeWiththeBritish traditionofthemotherland whichholdseventodaythat "theteachingofreligionis attheheartofallteaching." (Hadowreport,1928.)

SolongasAustralia,and withitWesternAustralia, wasacolonyeducationwas Englishintradition.Englisheducationhasnever desertedthepre-Reformationtraditionthatthe Churchisaprincipalpartnerineducation.

FirstSubsidy,1840

TheEnglishpublicschool traditionstemsfromsuch monasticschoolsasEton andWinchester.Therise ofeducationofthemasses atthebeginningofthe19th centurywascentredround "CharitySchools,"some Catholic,whichsetoutto trainchildrenin"religious andindustrioushabits."

Intheyear1839these charityschoolsfirstreceived "GrantofExchequer"subsidyinEngland.

InWestAustraliasubsidy wasfirstpaidbythe colonialgovernmentto churchschoolsin1840.

Inbothmothercountry andcoloniesthesubsidising ofchurchschoolswas originallythesolegovern-

Churchschoolswereonly providingforsomeofthe children.Eithertheefforts ofthechurchschoolshad tobehelpedonamore generousscaleorthegovernmentitselfhadtotake anactivehandineducation. Accordinglyin1870in Englandandin1871inWest Australiamovesweremade forcompulsoryeducation andforadditionalprovision ofschools.Assistanceto churchschoolswasincreased.

Atthesametimeanew kindofschoolwasintroducedunderthecontrolof undenominational school boards.Bothchurchschool andboardschool,besides theirStatesubsidies, chargedschoolfees.

FatalCompromise

Thetraditionthatchildreninschoolweregiven religiousteachingcontinued intheboardschoolsbutas theywereundenominational itwasfounddifficulttotell thechildrenanythingabout Godtowhichoneoranother Protestantsectmightnot object.

InEnglandthesolution wastheremarkableone whichwastopersistfor nearly60yearsandinthat

"Thedifferenceisappar- ent.Thefirst isheld togetherbycovalentbonds, andnotverysoluble.Artificial(sodium)fluorideis inorganic,readilysoluble, containsnocovalentbonds.

"Calciumfluorideisthe formthatisfoundinthe body.Tothebodysodium fluorideisanunnatural combinationwhichthebody hastobreakdown."

"ToxicFraction"

IcancriticisesomeaspectsofDr.Brusch'sviews onthismatter,butthemain lessonisthattheionisation ofthesodiumfluorideis carriedouttoagreatdegree,whereastheionisation ofcalciumfluorideisata muchlessintensity. Duetotheaffinityofcalciumforfluorine,they wouldtendtorecombine afteringestionintothe humanbody.

Dr.Dillonhaswritten thatawatercontainingfluorineionsnotbalanced bysufficientcalciumions to thecombinecompletelywith fluorineionswouldpossesswhatheterms"atoxic fraction"offluorine.(Reference,TheDentalPractitioner,England,Dec.,1952, pp.101-4.)

InthelightofDr.Dillon'sopinion,possiblymy statementofAug.25ought tobeamendedtoreadthat theeffectsofnaturallyoccurringfluorinemaywellbeverydifferenttoartificially-addedfluorine-and remember,sodiumfluoride isnottheonlyoneproposed foruse.

If,however,whatDr. Bruschsaysiscorrect,I mightalmostask"Paterfamilias"todonatethat guineatosomeCatholic charity.Ipersonallywould notliketoseeevencalcium fluorideaddedtowater supplies.-Yours,etc., WALOR.

Sir,-"Paterfamilias" (Sept.8)claimsthaton Aug.25Imixedfluorine andfluorides,whereasin realityImerelyunmixedhiserroneouswordingof Aug.11,believingittobe anerrormadebyhimin haste.

"Paterfamilias,"inspeak- ingof"fluorination"instead of"fluoridation"brands himselfasapersonwhohasnotreadmuchofthescientificliterature;andhis speakingof"partspermil- lion stead(p.p.m.)fluoride"inof"p.p.m.fluorine"is positivelyincorrect. theWateranalystsmerelylist proportionsofelements endradicalspresentinthe water-theycannotstate withanycertaintywhat compoundshadbeenoriginallydissolved.Therefore, theydonotspeakof"p.p.m. fluorides."

But"Paterfamilias"was sokeentoscoreoffmethat hepersistedinthiserror onSept.8,writingthat"10 p.p.m.of'fluoride' wouldindicateactuallyonly 4.5p.p.m.of'fluorine.'" Thisisa becausecompletefallacy, (asIhaveexplaineiabove)analystsandprofluoridationscientistsdo notmeasureintermsof fluoride,butintermsof fluorine.

Moreover,ifthefluoride wasartificiallydissolvedto 10partspermillion!n waterinthefollowingcases, wouldtheynotcontainthe followingamountsoffluorineinionisation:sodium silicofluoride,6.06p.p.m.; hydrogenfluoride, 9.5 p.p.m.;calciumfluoride,4.87 p.p.m.;andsodiumfluoride, 4.5p.p.m.? "Paterfamilias" does wrongbydisregardingthe customsofanalysts,and overlookingthatthereis morethanonefluoride (therearemanymore).- Yours,etc.,

IntegrationOfMaltaWithU.K. WouldNotAffectFaith'sStatus

London.-IntegrationofCatholicMalta withGreatBritainwouldnotchangethe former'sreligiousstatus,MaltesePrimeMinisterDominicMintoffhasstatedhere.

ThePrimeMinisterwas inLondontoattendthe conferencecalledbythe BritishGovernmenttodiscusshisproposalthatMalta bemadeapartoftheUnitedKingdomwithastatus similartothatofNorthern Ireland.

Maltaisatpresenta Britishcolony.Asmall islandintheMediterranean withfewnaturalresources, its317,000peoplemakeit oneoftheworld'smost denselypopulatedareas. About99percentofthe peopleareCatholics.

Themajorityofthemare poorfarmersandmany workattheisland'sbig navaldockyardsandthe BritishandNatoairfields andmilitarybases.

TheMaltaLabourParty, headedbyPrimeMinister Mintoff,believesthatthe island'seconomiccondition wouldbeimprovedby politicalintegrationwith theUnitedKingdom.

Accordingtoitsplan, Maltawouldmaintaina parliamentforlocalaffairs butwouldalsoberepresentedintheBritishHouse ofCommonsbytwoorthree members.

Thisplanisopposedby Malta'sNationalistformer PrimeMinister,Dr.Borg Olivier,whowantscorn-

WhileGreatBritainhas alwaysrespectedtheCatholicismoftheMaltesepeople, fearshavebeenexpressed thatifMaltabecomesan integralpartofBritain, Britishinfluencemight weakenitsstrictlocalreligioustraditions.

ThesefearsareunfoundedaccordingtoPrimeMinisterMintoff,whoisa Catholic.

"MaltaisCatholic,"he said."Bothwe,thatisthe MaltaLabourParty,and theBritishGovernment havegivenassurancesthat therewillbenochangein thereligiousstatusofthe island.Wehavegiven theseassurancestoHis GracetheArchbishop.
