The Catholics are right in saying that
a child should not be brought up in
goddess school; they are right in claim
ing that there must be, in order to
future usefulness and honor, early
planted in the soil of the child heart
the seeds of fundamental religious con-
vlctions. What, then, do we want in
our schools? We want not simply SUI
perior mental training. They are justly
heart TO right emotions-to be tender. |
pure, unselfish. We want to train the |
soH to aspirations toward God and a
recogn ton of law. We want to lead |
the child to knowledge and admira-
ton OF the historic Christ. We want to
lDculcate good morals. All this ia
essential to good citizenship in this Re-
public, and the purpose and justifca-
tloasof our schools as civic stitutions
is to make good citizens of our children.
We want in our schools that they be
opened with the reading of the Biole
and prayer; that Christian morals be
taught in them from suitable text
book; that there be Christian conyic-
tons In our teachers, 4. e. no 60 called
free thought, no disposition to under

Christian principle as well as for their
Intellectual ability.-Rey. Addison P. 7
