Cardinal Manning on Public Schools

By Editor

A LONDON dispatch of January 6 says that "Cardinal Manning has prepared an exhaustive paper on the American public-school system, based on the statistics of Montgomery. The Cardinal strongly favors parental as opposed to public-school control. The paper will be published concurrently in England and America."
It would seem to be scarcely necessary for a Roman Cardinal to publish a paper of any considerable length to set forth the objections of the Papacy to the American school system; they could all be summed up in the statement that our public schools do not teach Roman Catholicism, and do teach liberty of thought and action.
