A School Teacher ::Critioises Rev. Dryden.
To the Editor Of the Register
SIR:--Having been one of the several
Catholic teachers present at last Mondays
dedicatOry services ut the First ward pub
lie school, and in view Of the fact that
Catholics and Protestsnts are alike taxed
for the support of these schools, should
like to ask, through the columns of your
valuable paper, by what right the Rev.
Dryden stood mp before this mixed
audience of Catholics and Protest
ants and poured forth his TRADE
of invective against the religion
of the former. Of course, Mr.. Editor, We
were only few defenseIess women, called
to this meeting in the course of our school
duties, and unable to protect ourselves
from the cowardly and urgentlemanly
assault upon all that the true Christian,
whether Catholic or Protestant, holds most
dear and sacred, save by the one expedient,
withdrawal from the room, but being I'M
willing to call general attention to our.
selves by this course we were obliged to sit to
the close, beneath the lash of his unchar-
liable tongue, while the hot indig,
nant blood burned in our cheeks
Mr.. Dryden's name was announced as th q
one to whom the honor of delivering the
dedicatory address of this beautiful temple
of learning, had been delegated, but Ger
tainly this title, applied to the remarks OF
the gentleman, was misnomer. i, as
pupil and teacher, have been too long aud
intimately associated with the public
schools Of Wheeling to believe that one OF
them is now to be dedicated to bigotry,
prejudice and unchsritableness.
If the public schools of our city are oil
that their name implies and not the special
property of any one religion or sect TO the
exclusion of others, then / maintain that
this minister OF the Methodist reli-
gion, had no more right or authority Ia
insult the religious beliefs of Catholic
parents, pupils and teachers who were
present ut these exercises, than had any
clergyman of the Catholic faith to attack
those Of the Protestants.
Catholic patrons and teachers of the
public schools, certainly are entitled to the
same rights and privileges under the
school law as Protestants-if not then it II
time the fact were made known. The
question Of taxation, without represents
ton, has been forever laid to rest or
American soil.
In conclusion, should like, with al
due respect to his cloth, to ask the Rev
Dryden two questions, the answers To
which will doubtless interest more thar
the writer. Is the first and cardinal
point of the religious belief which be rep
resents, love Of Sod or hatred of the Ca
tholicp Will Mr.. Dryden also state wher'
and when were Protestant children forced
to learn and recite Catholic Catechism?
Respectfully,
A CATHOLIC TEACHER.
