FREE ScHooL CHRISTIAN BRoTHERs.-We yes
eray attended the examination of the scholars of the
Free School of the Christian Brothers This school, it is
well understood. is established with view to mpar not
only literary, scientific and commercial but also reli-
gious education to students 1t established upon the
principle sentiment that parents desire that their chill
dren should be brought in the faith of their fathers,
and that religious teaching should progress
of
ciple, cannot properly discuss in columns 1t is
certain however that parents naturally (and not i'm
property every means to rvet the convictions and
sentiments of their children to whatever creed they may
profess-Jewish, Unitarian Presbyterian, Epscopaan,
Methodist or Catholic Whether this parental of
deity prejudice should at the door of the school
house matter which may be considered by those who
havethe leisure inclination.
One thing is certain sectarian feelings cannot and
should not enter into public schools One creed may
be right and another may be wrong That does con-
the State which provides its representatives who
manage system Of common school education
The taxes which support those schools paid by all
by jew and GENTLE by Presbyterian Catholic Episcopa
liam Unitarian, Methodist etc To all of these
schools, by the just right of paid freely
open The religious prejudces of should be either
shocked proptiaed The State knows-in the broadcast
sentiment of bertyno religion under the submitting
but citizens.
Were it otherwise we should have interminabe secta
ran quarrels and denomination another would
abuse benefcent system of schools to seek
mastery over another denomination and finally defraud
the conscientious tax payer
The Christian Brothers educate at their cost and
by the berality of those sympathzng in their labors
They have nothing from the public revenue On this
ground there be no complaint against them They
auxiliary not nmca to the of free education
They educate without cost to any one those who other
wise would be expense to the city and State This
fact cannot justly give cause of offence.
Of the examination of their scholars yesterday we can
only say that it Of the most credtable have
ever known. The prompt correct and in
doative OF progress not to be expected under the cir
cumstances in reference to the youthuness of the
scholars.
