Denominational System of Education: Education: A system of education carried on by the British Government through means of the sev eral religious denominations. When the Government of the country began to adopt the view that a duty lay upon it to educate the children or see that they received education, two courses were open to it. It might have ignored all previous efforts made in a similar direction by churches or benevolent individuals, and all private or adventure" schools. Or it might have availed itself of all these efforts, aiding with the protection of a conscience clause all schools worthy of its countenance, stimulating them to increased exertion, and confining its own direct efforts to places which they had neglected to оссиру. The former plan would have been national in the fullest sense of the word, but would have been very expensive, and would have provoked antagonism from the religious bodies ignored. In England the first efforts of Government were in the direction of the denominational system, and when the Education Act of 1870 brought into existence a multitude of "board schools," these were designed to supplement, and not to supersede, the denomina- tional schools previously existing. In India the historic development was in exactly an opposite direction. The Government first founded schools and colleges of its own, excluding Christianity from them, not through antagonism to it, but because the money to support them was derived from taxes levied on Hindoos and Mohammedans. In 1854 Sir Charles Wood, afterward Lord Halifax, extended pecuniary support to the mi ionary schools, col- leges, and "institutions" in India, as an acknowl- edgment of the good secular education which they imparted, purposely forbearing to inquire whether or not Christianity was taught. Thus, though the denominational is supposed to be the antithesis of the national system of education, the two exist side by side and in conjunction with each other with but little friction both in Britain and in India, and the energy of all friends of education of whatever type is enlisted for mutual cooperation in a great work. dě-năm-i-nā-tion-al-Ism, s.
