THE. PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM
Upheld by the Bishop, and Mgr.
SatoIii's Opinions ON the Sub.
jeet Ridiculed-His Mission to
Washington Blunder A
Stranger to Our Language and
Spirit OF Our Laws.

BUFFALO, n. Y. Dec.Es30.-Bishop
/ Coke has just made public his fourth
letter TO Mgr. Satolli. BEGINNING with
classical reference to theVirgilian tale
of the wooden horse of Troy. he says:
Now at GonZaga college you talked
s ike Simon, but more adroitiy. You
said we must pail down our great
national bulwaTk, the public schools,
and accept your machine instead. You
made it clear that what we need. in your
opinion, is the constitution according TO
Sheehan, and education according Ito
SatoIli.
He then quotes from the revised stat
utes of the United States that section
which declares it punishable offense
to carry OH intercourse with foreign
powers to defeat the measures Of our
government. Again reyerting to the
subject Of schools. the bishop writes:
You profess to admire our inStitu-
tons. but what can we find TO admire in
any country wnere you might have
copied them? For 400 years the petty
island of San Domingo has been under
the exclusive control Of your ecclesias-
ties, and what have your schools done
for its wretched people, among whom d
large proportion are not only heather,
but cannibals today? Why not go
where neither schools nor universities
exist THAT are worthy of the name, and
let US alone. who for nearly three cent
uries have been teaching everybody to
read. and whose schools were not God
less until your ecelesias:ies forced the
politicians 10 take out of them the Ten
Commandments and the Lords Prayer?
The bishop concludes these remarks as
follows: You are stranger alike to
our language and the spirit of our laws,
and they who sent you on your mission
TO Washington were guilty of what one
of your casuists pronounced worse than
crime. blunder. After your speech
at Gonzaga college, on your organization
of the Jesuit party here at Buffalo. you
