THE CATHOLIC FAIR OUR PUBLIC
+ SCHOOLS.

SCHOOLS. g .g
Mr.. Editor When the public are called
upon to show their hberality, it is no more
than just that they should know what object
is to be promoted by their compliance. A
Catholic Fair is now in full blast in this city,
and probably three-fourths of the proceeds
will be drawn from Protestants. ~ 81 aai3d
Now, if the object of this Fair were to erect
Catholic church, so that portion of our
population could enjoy the privileges of relig-
ious worship, in their own way, and according
to their own faith, Il would be the last one to
holdbacks Erroneous as may regard the Cath
ole faith and religious observances, / rejoice
to see them cherished by class of our people
who, but for them, would find no spiritual
home, and have no religious privileges which
they could enjoy and find satisfaction in cher
ishing. ssA
Were the object of the Fair to erect or sup
port an asylum for the poor, the infirm, or the
orphans of that denomination, or to promote
any other form of philanthropy; would bid
it hearty God-speed ioaaAasss'A 9at@
But the purpose of the Fair now in progress
is to get up a sectarian school ia opposition to
the free public schools of the city; 10 strike
blow at the pride and glory of New England
her free school system, under which the
child of the poorest .day-laborer, of the most
unfriendedy foreigner, or of the most despised
colored man, may compete for the prizes and
rewards and honors of scholarship with the
child of the millionaire. - lsa tsAie ist'fiAi
The people of Portland have taxed them
selves heavily to provide school room for every
scholar in the city; are they disposed to con-
tribute to build special school room for the
girls Of a particular sect, while all the unruly
boys of the same sect are left in the public
schools Of the city? s'' As =
When the Catholics come to demand, as
they have in some other States, their proper
ton of the public school funds, to be expend-
ed for the support of their sectarian schools,
will our citizens be as ready to concede to such
a demand as they now are, to take the first
steps in the same general pathway sa3
