Public School Question

Excerpt from The Public School Question: As Understood by a Catholic American Citizen, and by a Liberal American Citizen; Two Lectures, Before the Free Religious Association, in Horticultural Hall, Boston The Free Religious Association, having charge of what are known in Boston as the "Horticultural Hall Lectures," invites to its platform men whose faiths so widely differ that no other platform, distinctively religious, is apt to welcome them to equal rights. That is what the Association is for. It earnestly tries to stand for Freedom and Fellowship in Religion: its objects, as stated in its Constitution, being "to promote the practical interests of pure religion, to increase fellowship in the spirit, and to encourage the scientific study of man's religious nature and history; and to this end all persons interested in these objects are cordially invited to its membership." One of the subjects selected for this winter was the question on which Roman Catholic citizens are taking ground so generally against their fellow-citizens, - that of the Right and Justice of our long-established Public School System. No question is more certain to be decided with snap-judgments by the thoughtless on both sides, and with prejudice even by the thoughtful.
