the grant of public funds, feeling
that this is the proper policy for
them to pursue and many others
have indicated their willingness to
do so if all sectarian schools are
treated alike.
Most of the great Protestant de-
nominations Of this State through
formal resolutions adopted in meet
ings representing the entire state,
have endorsed the constitutional
amendment proposed by me cutting
off all aid to sectarian or parochial
schools although this Would in many
cases affect the schools under the
control of their own denomination
1t is impossible to conceive of a
distinction more nicely designed to
SOW the seed of religious dissension
than the one proposed, as it would
so manifestedly be calculated to cut
off appropriations to almost all Ro-
man Catholic schools and leave un-
touched the appropriations to a class
of schools four-fifths of which are
Protestant.
This proposal has, however re-
Gently been addressed to all the
Protestant clergy of the State. 1t
does not seem probable that they
will consider any such proposal as
wise or helpful in the situation now
existing in this State.
Presumably the church retains
control of the schools for some pur-
pose of its own, even though no sec
tartan instruction is now given, If
this is not the case the denomina-
ton can readily let it pass under
on-sectarian control. Such a course
has already been followed by all the
colleges of this State, which were
instituted primarily under the aus
| pices OF one denomination or an
| other and which, in some cases, have
had definite provisions for denomina-
tional control at some time during
their history. The denominatlonal
restrictions have now all been
abolished.
! The academies and seminaries of
this State, to the extent that they
are solely concerned with helping the
cause of education in this State. can,
in almost every instance, readily
accomplish the same transformation
and thus be affected in no way by
the inhibitionS of tho amendment
which l have proposed. If, for rea-
sons sufficient to themselves, they
do not see fit to do this, but retain
oNNeoi IeRii NclltIOl even without Sec
tartan instruction, l do not believe
they should expect to receive grants
OF public funds If they are to be re-
fused to schools established and
maintained to promote the religious
tenets of any denomination"
In its practical consequences it is
impossible to cXaggerate the de-
plorable results which would follow
the adoption of such n distinction
The Roman Catholic citizens Of this
State could justly feel that such a
provision was designed solely to pre-
JUDGE their interests. In the consti-
tutional amendment which 7 have
. proposed. there is no suggestion of
such a discrimination between diff
ierent religious sects. The abso-
lutely impartial trea tment of all re-
igious denominations is. and, IN NV
judgement. should continue to be the
guiding principle in considering leg
islation on this subject.
