Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Religion in the Common Schools: Three Lectures Delivered in the City of Cincinnati, in October, 1869 For the last month the Board of Education in Cincinnati has been agitated by two questions, on whose decision the very existence of our present system of free public education depends. First, a proposition was made to the Board by the Catholic Archbishop Purcell for a conference respecting the conditions on which the Catholic schools of this city should be united with the public schools. The Board, with great courtesy, appointed a committee, every member of which was understood to be favorable to a union if it could be achieved without sacrifice of the fundamental principles of the American system of free schools. A conference was held, and the Archbishop virtually proposed that the city of Cincinnati should support Catholic religious schools with the public money. As this proposition was in direct hostility both to the fundamental idea of the American free school system, and the Constitution of the State of Ohio, both of which forbid the support of sectarian religious schools by the taxation of the whole people, it was unanimously rejected - not one member of the Board uttering a word in its favor. The Archbishop suggested that the Committee of Conference should remain in session until he was able to consult Pope Pius IX upon the whole subject; and several of the members of the Board, including the President, voted in favor of waiting for consultation with a prince, politically the most insignificant in Europe, the only prince in the world who recognized our late rebel confederacy, in regard to the education of the citizens of the Republic of the United States. This astounding proposition was buried under an overwhelming majority, and there is no probability that the question of the union of Catholics and public schools will again come before the present Board. Next spring, twenty of the forty seats in that body become vacant, and the people can determine whether they shall be filled by men who favor the surrender of the great vital principle of American public education to the demands of any religious sect. But now comes up another question, equally momentous, alike involving a fundamental change in our system of public instruction.
