Romanist Schools and Sardinia's Illiteracy

Romanist newspapers brag of the excellence of their church schools, and are multiplying them everywhere and coercing children into them. The real fruits of their system, however, like everything else, can only be seen where it has no rivalry. What comes of strict sectarian education is revealed in the latest official reports from the island of Sardinia, where of 547,112 inhabitants 512,381 can neither read nor write. This island swarms with priests, and has been for ages under their control.
