the same subject it Is Interesting to note
what the archbishop has to say in refer
ence to the schools. He asks the uues-
the state school and tRe parish school He
comedies the right of the state to estab-
lish and conduct schools, praises the Hber-
ality of state schools in giving gratuitous
instruction, acknowledges the high value
Of the American school in impartfng secu-
lar knowledge, and declares that he is
willing to go further than the state usual
ly goes today and to approve the enact
ment of laws which would make compul-
sorry the attendance of all children in a
well-appointed school of some kind state,
parish or private. But the archbishop OBJ
jects to the lack OF provision in the state
school for the religious instruction of chill
dren. AS it is this lack that causes the es-
tablishment of parish schools the arch
bishop proposes compromise through
which the state school shall be made ac-
ceptable to the advocales of the parish
school and shall suffice for the education
of all the children. But the archbishop
confesses that the day of union between
the two systems does not seem to him to
be nigh. Public opinion, he says, is not
ready for any form of compromise and
public opinion must be respected.
