The School Controversy,

MEssRs. EDITORS 1t is unfortunate for
the cause of truth that, in the controversy
as to the division of the common school
fund, which has engaged so much of pub
lie attention in this city, those who have
arrayed themselves in opposition to the de-
mands of the Roman Catholics should rely
for the support of their position upon the
amount of abuse which they hurl in gem
cral terms upon the Romish Church, rath-
er than pursuing line of fair and legiti-
mate discussion.
There is well known aphorism which
says, Error need not be feared so long as
Truth is left free to combat it," and if
" Rusticus" and those who, like himself,
have forebodings as to the ultimate designs
of the Romanists to gain control of this
Government, surely, if they possess such
an abiding faith in the goodness of their
cause-as would seem to be indicated by
the zeal with which they rush into this dis
cussion, they need have no apprehensions
that Professionalism will suffer at the hands
of the Catholic world. Rusticusn saws
The Roman Catholic Priest and his
friends are not content to meet their fellow
citizens upon common platform as re-
CARDS free school education and they de-
mand special and exclusive rights and
privileges"
Here is very general and sweeping
charge: let us see how much truth there is
in it:
All the tax payers of Knoxville contri-
butte towards the school fund, which, by
law, is to be appropriated forthe education
of the children of the city. Catholics pay
taxes for this purpose as well as Protest
ants. In many of the text books, used in
the common schools in the United States,
there is to be found much that is abusive
scurrlously abusive of the Romish Church,
and, to their shame be it said, there are
some Professionals who rely upon such wea-
pons in their warfare upon Catholicism
Now, / ask " Rusticus" or any other fair
minded gentleman, If it be reasonable to
eXpect-nay to Tequire-Roman Catholic
tax payers to, in part, support schools in
which their children will be compelled to
study textbooks written with the very in
tentiOn of tapping the foundation of their
religious belief? If there be any so blind
ed by their fanaticism or ignorant pFeiu-
dice against Romanists as to answer this
question af1irmatively, / say to them, "Put
yourselves in their places" Suppose you
-Protestants mean-arein minority in
Knoxville as you are IN q majority of the
great cities of the United States, would
you regard it fair and just that your funds
should go to support Catholic schools, and
that no part thereof should be "divertedn
for the education of your own children
in your own faith? The Catholics here only
ask that pro rata distribution of the fund
shall be made and that they shall have
their share. They do not demand that
schools. ON the other hand we find the
demand made, in effect that Catholic
funds shall keep up Protestant schools.
