THE EDUCATION DISCUSSION.
FATHER WALKERS ATTACK ON THE PUBLIC
SCHOOLS AND THE PROPOSITION FOR THE
SCHOOL MONEYS CONSIDERED FAvoRABLY AND
ADVERSELY.
city correspondent OF the Freeman's Journal
who processes to have received bis education IN
the public Schools writes to that journal IN
strain OF bitter censure against the schools. He
fails TO perceive that bis ability to write such
letter against the Vices which, he says, exists in
those schools is a reiutation Of his charges. he
declares that men whose morals are byword
with the students are allowed professors chairs
in The New York College; that almost ell the
graduates are rich mems sons, and that none but
rich students are wanted in the college. He
admits, however, that OF the $50 who enter an
nually the vast majority belong TO the poorer
classes, and are by no means Inferior in ability to
the rich. TING natural inference, then. would DO
tnat the majority OF graduates belong also
10 the poorer classes, or else these fall
to complete their college course and
leave the institution before they graduate.
The Freenoan's Journal, IN o spirit OF hostility
also comments editora!ly on the proposition OF
the representatives Of Catholic schools TO the
Board OF Education TO be admitted under the care
OF the latter. The Journal declares that the
public school system Is founded on the plan OF
bidding God depart, that we want none OF His
ways, IL intinates that society Is breaking up
and going to pieces because of the influence OF the
goddess schools, aud that II can be saved from dis
solution only by the faithiuness OF Catholics Ia
