Fact, Not Theory.

Many letters received by us, two ex-
amples Of which we print to-day, indicate
the violence Of controversy which would
be provoked if any methodical effort
was made to change the character Of our
public school system by the introduction
OF peculiarly religious instruction.
The desire for such change is usually
attributed to the Roman Catholic Church
solely, but it extends to Protestant
churches also. 1t has been expressed
even at meetings Of the National Educa-
tional Association, secular organization
purely, on the theory that religious in
struotion is an essential part of an edu-
cation in which the mind and character
are fully developed. How it is to be
provided without doing violence to our
Constitutional separation of Church and
State and to the various and conflicting
religious convictions of public made up
of Catholics and Protestants, Jews and
infdels, has not been pointed out by that
association.
The American Federation of Catholic
Societies, however, propounded precise
plan for consideration at its convention
at Atlantic City last month. This plan
is to avoid the prohibition Of expendi-
ture for any specific religious instruction
by distributing the educational per
capita tax for results in purely secular
studies only in our parish schools as
certified by State or city examinations, !"
and inferentially in those of other rei-
gious denominations. The plan involves
the payment from the school fund Of the
salaries Of these parish school teachers
'as other teachers receive theirs Or,
a. Bishop MCFAUL put it lately the
scheme is that the school fund should
be divided pro rata among the parish
schools according to the number Of their
scholars, not as payment for religious
education, but for secular instruction
submitted to State examinations.
We simply give this information as to
the Roman Catholic scheme without
undertaking TO discuss it, else we should
be overwhelmed with correspondence
on the subject-Catholic, Protestant and
infdel. Yet the whole question has
already been beaten threadbare in let
ters to The SU';. We may say, however,
that in order to be reconstructed in ac-
cordance with such scheme, our whole
school system would have TO be revo-
lutionized, and the introduction of any
legislative measure looking to that
end would start controversy likely
to be fatal TO the project. The point
suggested by one of our correspond
ents to-day, that "A statistical compari-
sOn Of the practical results of the pub
lie school and Of the parochial school
education would not exhibit the moral
advantages Of religious instruction, is
sure to be made and TO lead TO the in
vestigation whenever the sub jeot shall bs
brought up for legislative treatment
IT is certainly II very important q,les-
ton. Are our children actually suffering
moral deterioration because Of the
purely secular education they receive
In the public schools, and are pupils
turned out by the parochlal schools Of a

The Quantitative Theory.

According to Mr.. BRYAN, the argu-
ments for 1the quantitative theory of
money" have been "vindicated.'
Whether they have been or not, the
Democratic party needs to consult the
quantitative theory Of votes. Twice
Organism has appealed to the country
and twice the country has rejected it.
Yet already this year the Democrats Of
Ohio, Nebraska and Colorado have hur-
rahed for the Kansas City platform.
How long will it take the Democrats
to find out that they need more votes?

authors as Livy, Plutnrch. Josephus Tacitus
Suetonius Gibbon. Hume. Motley Gulot and Mac
aulay must be forced to the conclusion that there

morals OF the people were good as they are now
Education is now and possibly always will be tho
foe OF supernaturallsm. no matter whether II b &C.
companled by religious instruction or not Tho
early religious Instruction Of such men as HUXLEY
and Renan was not neglected. Possibly all the
great agnostics OF the present had early religious
instruction. Their subsequent religious views
came not from choice but from love Of tho truth
as they saw 1t.
Separation OF Church and State and public edu-
cation based on liberal principles have been fruit
f OF bene ncent results In this country. Those who
advise the reversal Of the policy adopted by the
wise men who founded our nation should read his
tory and consider 1t profoundly.
