Tho real spirit of tins Ho ni tin hier
iirchy In regard to popular education
h thus tersely mid plainly stated by
Cordln Antonelli; "Tho catechism
alone is essential for tho education of
the people."
Said tho Catholic World, of April,
1871: ''Education is tho American
hobby. We, ourselves, as Catholic,
are as decidedly nn nny other class of
American citizens in favor of univer
sal education, as thorough and exten
sive as possible, if its quality suits us.
Wo do not Indeed prize as highly as
sumo of countrymen appear to do the
ability to read, write and cipher.
Some men are born to be leaders and
others are born to bo led. Tins best
ordered and administered Mute It that
in which the few are well educated am!
leijd, and Jhe many mo trained lo
obedience, are willing lo be directed,
uontont to follow, and do not aspire to
be leaders. In extending education,
and endeavoring to train all to be
leaders, wo have only extended pre
sumption, pretension, conceit, indoeil
ity, and brought Incapacity to the sur
face. Wo boilevc that tho peasantry
In old Catholic countries, two centuries
ago, wero better educated, although for
the most part unable to read or write,
than are the great body of American
people to-day."

tho loadership of Bishop John Hughes,
of New York, complained that Protest
'ant Ideas wero more or less inculcated
In tho , pi. bile school, l'arochlal
schools had then been in exUtanoo in
this country at least twenty years.
What they meant by Protestant Ideas
is evident by their attempt to secure
puMIe money to aid them to oMtahllsli
sectarian schools In which children of
foreign-born parentage might bo edu
cated, not In the English language, bill
in language of their ancestors, and
where the teachers should be Human
Catholics, This was made by the
Romanists of New York n distinct Issue
in the slate election of MI,and was
lis direct a blow ngaiust the American
ization of the children of foreign
parents, and for (he triumph of papal
authority In this country, as the politi.
cal victory of the hierarchy in Wisuou
sin nearly two years ago,
Protestantism has no principle or
consistency. It was the creation of n
