Peoplo tallt o great deal about that mattor, and know very littlo. Tt 1a ofton Bald bonstfully that Aniories is tho strongest and grandeut country fn the world, simply becauso hor pooplo aro educaied. It is assorted that Gormany conquered Frauce moro by hor educa- ;:m.nd soldiery than by her Krupp guns, Al this 8 TIE SIEEREST NONSENSE, Education is aceutred not 1n the achool, but in tho cloket. Tho Btato bas no moro right to provido us with dootors and lawyors than with wot nursos. It should only furnish the commonost oducation, which belongs to all. If wo subtract from honor and famo what Providonco and chanco have douo, the residuum is vory small— demigods dwindlo to diminutive humsn beings. Lyvon Von DMoltke snid that tho success of Pruesia was dao to valorous blundoring, Rail- i roads have done more to educata the people than all tho men whom New England hos sent forth— NAUNOW-MINDED DIGOTS, who never wont boyond tho horizon of their Im- mediato noighlorhnod, The poor peassntry In Franco and Spain have no education; but they We call thom ignorant, but it is we who aro ignorant, for wa do not undostand their nceds, Trade and comwetce arn the groat oducators. Paddy, with his hoe, Las brought educatton to every fireside on the land, and he should Lo placed on the nntion's shivld, instead of tho Greek lamp of knowledgo. It is falso to eny thot we owoall our enlightonment to the public schools, We should be a better-educatod peoplo to-day if wo Lnd nevor had them. Evory man who now pays a dellar on compulsion would pay ton for echools of hia own, TOO MUCH EDUCATION. Tho speaker had no objection to being taxed to support schovls provided thoy wore all that echools should Dbo. Iiducated men aro elrondy too numerous in Amotien; states- mon and politicians aro bocoming ko plenty that the Government will have to provide new place for them to lmu{l them vccupled, Our systoin of public echools, ho wont on Lo say, was aburdon ; but it is ono to which the Catholio wonld mout cheorfully submit wera it not besides & corruption, taintig the miuds, hearts, and souls of the people. RELIGION AND THE SOHOOL SYSTEM. Tieligion and tho present schiool n{slum cannob cooxis: on this continont, A people wholly de- voidof religion is only concaivable outside of the renims of hell. Religion must be nequired, It 1s not doveloped naturally, Tiuliglon must bo taught in the echools, for it cannot always be taught at home, heezuse parents are eithor Igno= rout or incompetont. Religion might bo taught ot school a8 a relaxntion from atmf 3 EXISTEXCE OF A STATE RELIGION.

Tho spoakor rolioarsod at great longth what France, and clsewhero, OUN GOVERNMENT ANTI-CATHOLIO, The Qovernnient respects tho demands of the Quakers, but not thoro of the Catbolics. Timid Carhiolios advise that we spoak low on these points, but the Church will continuoe to cutge seenlaiizod education long after Amerieans havo departed for tho happy Lunting-grounds. L'ho Catholic Church novor was a coward, ILL-EFFECTS OF EDUCATION. Our public schools have robbed tho workshops and sapped the industry of the Iand, Education unfits for manual “labor and leads to crimo. Our crimioal record is more 1lagitious than that of any nution on the faco of the globo, ‘Thero are more murdors, rapes, arsons, robleries, embezzlomonts, defulcations, —miore cigsng, false-swearing, and vulzarity to bo heard, 2oen, and mot with in Amorica tian in tho oldess natiou in Cinistondom. THE BCIGOLS MAINTAINED 1Y RORBERT. Catholics don't waut to food Lhe public school elophant any longor.
