Catholic Schools and Public Education
Two points to be discussed at the first annual convention of Roman Catholic educators to be held in New York early in July are "the results and progress of Catholic education in this country," and "what can be done to secure through legislation a part of the public school fund to support the Catholic schools." Priest Crowley of Chicago, who is persistently exposing and opposing Roman Catholic clerical corruption and un-Americanism, declares in his book on "The Parochial School" that "Catholic priests and prelates are determined to destroy the American public school," and that "the Catholic hierarchy offers the parochial school as a substitute for the public school." As a Roman Catholic he arraigns the parochial school as "a curse to the church" and "a menace to the nation." His book should be read by every one interested in the Roman Catholic question in this country.
