Socialist Sunday Schools in Britain
A SOCIALIST Sunday-school movement is a phenomenon which has for several years past been developing in Great Britain, says the Boston Congregationalist. The headquarters of the movement is at Glasgow. “In that city,” it is stated, “there are eight schools, and a half-penny magazine called The Young Socialist is issued. Socialist Sunday schools also exist in London, Liverpool, Bradford, and other cities. A little text-book of sixteen pages has recently been published, presenting socialist doctrines in language suited to the minds of children. By these publications the children are taught to hate clericalism and capitalism,” and to strive against “the ‘evil giants’ of oppression and exploitation.”
