GoDL1NEss AND THE SCHOOLS.

A correspondent objects to the vigor
with which Joseph Cook in his lecture in
this city denounced any and all attempts
to divide public school funds among relig-
ionists, and any and all efforts to make the
common schools church attachments. Our
correspondent asks why, since the schools
are goddess, should not godliness be taught
in them, and why should they remain
schools without morality and moral teach
ing? Who says the common schools are
goddess? Who says they are immoral :?
What proof is there Of any such assertion
being true? Does it follow that in teach
ing child to read and write and to mas
ter mathematics, the instruction is i'm
moral because there is not at the same
time taught to the child doctrinal matters
and dogmas and creeds and shadings of
belief as to what is God and what is nat
ure? With what warrant does our CORE
spondent speak when he asserts that the
schools are goddess? Are there not insti-
tutions in great number for the intellect
ual development of the race, for the up
lifting of the masses, for the conservation
of the economies of communities and the
wise government of nations that do not
relate to church or creed or spiritual be-
lief? Does it follow that because an insti-
tuition of benefcence, educating and
strengthening, does not include in its cur
riculum specific lessons touching the duty
of man to God, that it is an institution at
enmity with truth, right or morally?
1t is useless to attempt to beg this ques-
ton. The common schools are institutions
of the State as are other agencies en-
ployed by society for its betterment and
safety, that have not and must not have
any relation whatever to religious beliefs.
For such let the parent and the priest be
the teachers. The office of the common
school as State agency is to equip the
child for his political, not his religious
duties. Let all lie assured of this, that no
matter wha: speeious arguments may be
advanced, no matter what the thunders of
church or the reasoning of moralists,
the free schools of the Republic are not
