Excerpt from The School Question: Catholics and Education

The problem of arranging our free education in harmony with the true spirit of American institutions has long occupied the attention of all patriotic and thoughtful citizens of this Republic. The political tactics of the day have brought forward this question into great prominence.

The desire to understand the position of Catholics on this subject is widespread, and there is a demand among Catholics themselves for more abundant information. These considerations have induced the Editor of The Catholic World to reprint the following series of articles from the pages of that magazine. In presenting them to the public, he is led to express his conviction of their value, and to call attention to the facts upon which this estimate is based.

Most of these articles were written before the present political agitation arose. They have therefore the merit of being free from all partisan bias. They are the productions of various writers from all quarters of the country. As a whole, the collection will be found free from any local prejudice. They are, furthermore, the deliberate utterances of the most intelligent Catholic thinkers; they will be found to contain accurate information and mature thought.
