Church, Father o Farrell, alluding to the
dedication of his parochial school in the

system n failure. He believed that
eventually the State must either make all
education voluntary and without taxation,
each denomination supporting its own
schools, or else, if taxes were raised for
educational purposes, each party must re-
ceive fair share. At the dedicatory SER
vices in the afternoon the same clergy
man said he wished it understood that in
this matter priests and people went to-
gether. 1t had been charged that they
had entered into conspiracy. 1t was
true they had entered into a conspiracy,
every man, woman and child of them,
and they made no secret of it. They
didn't deny that theyprotest against sup
porting schools to which Catholic children
couldn't go, just as they would protest
against being forced to attend State
church. They claimed rs American cti-
zens the privilege of educating their chill
dren as they pleased.
