tissues, so that both these master tissues may perform their functions
skillfully, naturally, and judiciously.
Our scientific scholars throughout the world have long since dispensed
with the supernatural. Know the natural, is the modern shibboleth. If
you want to take care of the machine, understand the machinery, and
if you want the coming generation to understand something about it,
it is certain that the saloon is not the proper place for it.
We ought to guard our public institutions with jealous care. Our public
non-sectarian schools are the places for our children. The public
schools ought to be numerous enough to accommodate every citizen's
children in the land. I think it bad grace for any foreigner to come
here to give us advice upon that subject. Archbishop Satolli, papal
ablegate, said at the recent meeting of the American archbishops in
New York, on "The settling of the school question and the giving of
religious education:" "To the Catholic church belong the duty and
divine right of teaching all nations to believe the truth of the
gospel, and to observe whatsoever Christ commanded.
"For the rest the provisions of the Council of Baltimore are yet
in force, and in a general way will remain so, to wit: Not only out
of our paternal love do we exhort Catholic parents, but we command
them, by all the authority we possess, to procure a truly Christian
and Catholic education for the beloved offspring given them of God,
born again in baptism unto Christ, and destined for heaven, to shield
and secure them throughout childhood and youth from the dangers of
a mere worldly education, and therefore to send them to parochial or
other truly Catholic schools."
