Saving the Nation

THE assertion made by a writer in the London Times that American civilization is shaped by the schools of the country, arouses a Roman Catholic paper to make very strong charges against the national school system, especially as represented by the State universities. With characteristic modesty this paper then makes this statement:—
There is a school that will save the nation, and it only is capable of doing so—the Catholic school, whether the same be an academy, college, or university.
We are heartily in accord with the principle that a proper education should include religious instruction, but there must not be mingled with such instruction any idea of saving the nation. The salvation of Christ is for individuals rather than for nations as such.
