The publication of the proceedings
ofthe recent meeting Of Roman Catho-
lie archbishops, including the address
on the subject by Archbishop Satolli,
the Pope's ALLOCATE to this country,
has made the discussion almost uni
versal in Catholic circles, and Protest.
ants are taking part in it, too. DIR. Nc
Glynn tonight added his contribution
to the discussion. Ho spoke in Cooper
Union on "Monsigneur Satolli and tho
School Question" and the recent report
that he is to be reinstated as q priest
gave especial interest to his remarks
and attracted large audience. It was
hoped that he would say something to
indicate whether his relations to the
church were about to be changed or
not. DR.. McGlynn declared
that Archbishop Satolli had prae-
tically endorsed the Faribault
school system, and had an
nounced the willingness Of the Catholic
church to cooperate with the public
schools Of America. With Archbishop
Satolli as Delegate Apostolic, it would
be impossible, he said, for any bishop
10 drive a priest out OF his parish be-
cause he refused TO impose the burden
OF a parochial school upon people too
poor to bear it, and it would not be
prudent for any. priest TO refuse the
sacraments of the church to PARISH
Toner who insisted upon his rights to
send his children to a public school.
DR.. McGlynn said that he did not share
the fear that Catholic children would
learn immortality or forgot their religion
in the public schools, and he did not
believe 1t was the duty Of tho church to
lenounce them. And this view, he
argued, was the view of Archbishop
satoli, in his much discussed address.
The imposition, OF the costly burden OF
parochial school upon many parishes
was almost intolerable, and in
condemning this, Dr.. McGlynn took
occasion to also condemn the
"wringing of money from hod car
riers, servant girls, and other poor
people," to build great cathedrals such
as Europe has. This work, he thought.
should DO left until the pioneer period
was past, and the poor people, trans
planted from Europe, had had time to
fully establish themselves. The teach-
ing Of arithmetic, geography, and the
natural sciences, he declared, was not
mart of tho work commanded by Christ
and imposed upon the church. To the
state properly belonged the work, and
there was more than enough for the
church in the teaching of morals and
religion. To teach morality and re-
ligion and safeguard the faith OF the
children was tho duty of parents, and
for the fultillment Of this duty q
parochial school was not an ab::
solute necessity. He spoke OF
''the liberal attitude" OF the Holy See
toward thepublicschool system OF Amer.
len. and then added: at would be q
puerility for me to say to you, I told
YOU so.'p He went little outside Of
the school question to speak Of the salts
faction which all Catholics felt in the
presence here Of Archbishop satolli as
the pope's representative, with power
to hear and determine cases. The eS-
pense incident to tripito Rome, the
long waits for answers, and the impos-
sibility OF presenting a case there, re.
mote from the place where It arose, had
been, he said, serious thing, and II
was q signal proof of the pope 2 kind
ness toward tho church In America
that he had sent his delegate here. This
expression, which the audience deemed
personal, was cheered.
