~ The Examiner. Charlottetown, May 10, 1869. “«- lt THE }:DUCATION QUESTION, It is not elone with referenee to those por- tions of hieory in which distinctly relizious questions occur that differences will arise ; a| Roman Catholic will take a different view of the whole scope of history from a Protestant. Arnold would have written a very different sketch of wniversal history from that which Roasuet wrote, though both were men of a deeply reliious tern of miid. Many will remember the splendid passage in Arnold's lectures on Modern History, when he speaks of the fall of Bonaparte, and traces the hand of Providence in the results of the campaign ot Russia; a Catholic could not bave written that passage without an allusion to Napoleon's attack on the Pope, which marked the turning point of his career. No one can treat philoso- phically of modern history, without referring to the inflaence of Catholicity and the Popes, nor of Ancient History without eontrasting jts ideas with those of Catholicity. History, apart from ll reference to religion, is reduced to a bead roll of dates. Nor can the classics be adequately taught without allu. the sion to religious truths; study of Greek and Latin literature is nct the mere acquiring of the power of reading two foreign janguages; their spiri¢ must be entered into and compared witi that of Christian literature. Who could read Plato with clever, ardent lade, and refrain from pointing out where natural te seach a portion of the truth, and where even he had fallen short? Or who could go through lights bad enabled that glorious pegan Cicero and not enlarge on the difference be- tween the full cert'tude of the Christian, and his own earnest, though hesitating groping after immo:tality ? We mav here observe that the stady frem ali such references to relizious truth ie f the ancient classics separated open, in & great degree, to the charges of Faganism Lrowght against it by the Abbe his followers. In the English Universities it has even been found that the Goume and merely anintentional omission of such cor rectives has led to an exaggerated estimate and affection for the classics; and that, as it is said, too many, even of the digvitaries of a certain establishment, form their mind more on Plato and Aristottle than on Christian philosophe:s, and have a keener admiration for Cato and Decius than for the Christian martyrs. See the preface to Madan’s Juvenal and Persius. What we have said of the study of the clas- sics may be observed of every branch of literature, unless such studies are to be de- graded it.to the mere parrot power of intepret- ing; more than this, a teacher of philesophy | . itselt would hardly adequately diecharge his task if he failed to point out the new meanings which Christianity has impa:ted to the words humilitas, charites, sacramentum. Doctor Whately has made marifest how the religio, teaching of formal lozie may be influenced by | the religious belief of the teacher, for his work on the subjcet contains namerous illustrations of syllogisms constructed against and middle te ms; ? | , ° ye . a Koman | comparatively nugatory, from the violence of Catholic belief, in wich he uses ambiguous} : ; i § h ic 3 in no Catholic professor) *nother sheet which advocates the same line money on sch education as they may deem proper. They pay the money for educating ~ their children, and we think that they should be allowed the same privileges which they “~~~ are willing to accord to those who differ trom them in religion. Justiee te the minor | ity, whatever may be their religious tenente, | justice to the majority io like manner, | We have maintained that the memorial o His Lordship the Bishop should have been ‘granted, It is founded on jus:ice and com | mon sense. Schools in whieh Catholics are |educated, in which Catholic parente have confidence, to which many reepeetable Pro- testants send their children, are refused d reasunable share of that very money which Catholics pey for education, and whieh they wish to be expended on euch schools. Duvid Laird and other extra pious men say that thie is no injustice. Their argument is this: “We will make you pay your thousands for education, but it must be education according to our theory and not according to your Romish superstitions ; we huve the majority, avd 80 you had better be very civil ; you may | get up splendid schools if you will, but one ceat of the eight or nine thousand pounds you | pay towards the edacation fund, you shall | Dot receive for such schools. By the same | tolerant, Christian spirit of justice, Papists | ere compelled to pay three or four hundred | pounds annually to the Protestant College, | while their own College is not allowed ua | penny of the thousands which they pay to | the genera! education fund. In the cetime- jtion of pious David this is justice, this is | equality ! It is a satisfaction to know that unreascnable and intolerant bigote of the | pious Elder's stamp are every day becoming fewer, and that a large majority of the res- | pectable Protestanta of the Island agrea with us ip denouncing an act of injustice which is } #0 patent to all. | The editor of the Patriot tries at one time | to cajole Catholics—at another time to brow- , beat and terrily them ; now and then he lete |them know that the sword of Damocles is | hanging over them ; that he holds the rod of | iron wherewith co bring under subjection their | Popish backs. We don't see what goad it ; will do for Mr. Laird to be calling the Holy | Father a **despotic prince.” In tue last iseue | of the patriotic aheet he sounds the ¢ocsin in the following style :— “The Examiner way rest assured, that if the tt bumiliating te be dictated to in the manage. ment et their civil affairs, by » foreign deapotic | prince, its Profestant population have spirit enough indignantly to resent, aod preuptly to resiet all such interference let it come in what shape it may, direct or indirect.” We trust that our religious contemporary is doing as well as might be expected after this deliverance! We hope that he will have sufficiently recuperated his wasted ener- gies to tell us this week how many eggs were io the Just mare's nest which Le discovered, and when the said eggs are likely to be hatched !! ~~ —___ - —- Is last week's issue of the Progress Mr Thomas Kirwan, editor of that paper, takes ‘eave of his patrons, being about to leave the Island. We are sorry for this. Although we have had our differences, still we alwaye re- cognized him «us a genial witty being. We are glad to acknowledge that in his career lin this Island, as a public journalist, he ex- | hibited an honest and independent spirit, and | that he endeavored to the best of his ability to | promote the weltare of the Colony. As an | Annegationist, we believe he was sincere, and | his efforte ia that cause will leave more than | transient impression upon the public mind. It ' is almost a pity that his Jabors will be rendered could lecture on bis work without pointing out| Of poliey with regard tothe United States. those falla-ies. Geography muat he reduced] The ont to a dumb map, if all allusion is to be avoided! as to the fraits of Catholic missions, and Para gusy be blotted out of the map because we muat not offend susceptibilities by giviog the Jesuite due praise for their labors. Nor let it be said | that the teacher or professor may allude to all | these subjects, but refrain from expressing any opinion ov them, Yoath will not ateept euch; vilence from its teachers, were it possible; i und abstention is often in itsclf equivalent t assertion. The profeesor himself would feel : ; POUT i ' sti : oe that such ® restraint would stunt b's teaching, | OTe than a passing impression upon our mind. and make him a mere instrument for conv-ys,| We wir him the fullest measure of success in | ing facts, net a teacher and instructor in the| truest and noblest sens:. Such teaching} would be « dul) abridgement of statistics, not | an elevating and inspiring instruction in| knowledge ; it would be a cramming of the! United States, Mr. Kirwan will not be Wanting | intellect and not a forming of the mind. Religious truth is the life and solt of all edu- cation; and it is as fatal to the vitality of | education to separate religion from it, as it would be to give a man saltless food all the week, and tell him to come on Sunday and eat a peck of salt to season it THE EDITOR OF THE PATRIOT Is not plensed with our ideas on the questi no of Edocation. He says that we are incon sistent, changeable and silly, and that our writings have no effect. Now, we never in- tended to please the pioas Elder. and the continual flow of rubbish in ths Patriot, di- rected against our efforts, is one of the best pos sible proofs that our bumble etterings are tak- ing deep « fect, and causing great slarm to our contemporery. Christians of all denomina- tions peresive that our argumente in favor of religious education are unanewerable, and even the pious Elder himself has never eon- descended to refute them. Every number of the Patriot for the past six months, or more, contains « large amount of twad:lle similar to that which appears in last Saturday's issue ; thie is not @ small proof of the influence of the Exayinex If our articles are so mean and despicable, why does the good Eider give himeelf so mugh trouble in endeavoring to nullify their efect? Let our contemporary hu'd bis soul .n peace; notwithstanding bis serpentios contortions, and twistings and hie- sing, we shall continue the even tenor of our way in placing before our readers eound principles. We are only entering on our subject. We shall continue to address our remarke, aot to the prejudices, but the reason’ and judyement of our community. The Patriot way sound its tocsin ae Jong and loud as it plense; but time wili tell which will prevail, hristian toleration or ¢ocsin tyranny. Our coniemporary catechises us as to our motives and intentions. In reply, we reiterate what we have often stated before: we are anxious ‘bat even-handed justice should be meted out to all denominations of Chriatians If Protestants pay eleven thousand pounds for the education of their children, we main. tain that this sum should be expended just as Protestaut parents think proper; if they consider it necessary to teach the Bible in the schools, let them do so; if Mr. Laird aod his co-religionists wish to teach their children that Catholics are idolators, that the Pope is the ‘‘ Man of Sin,’ the * Beast,'’ that Rome is the « Scarlet Lady,”’ &ec., by all means let them do so with the money which they pay. This is but juetice; percate seve a right, a sacred right, to edu- cate their children as they please, If their ideas regarding the Pope, the Blessed Virgin, Holy Water, &c., don’s happen to be equare with curs, we are not going to quarrel with them on that account. Let them settle that flair with their Maker, On the other hand, if ** Papiste’? pay nine thousand pounds for the education of their childsen, we think | lscoming that they should by allowed so expend phat y fault which we found with Mr. Kir- an was his opposition to the Bishop's policy the School Question; but at w on such @ time as this, we are not going to | We honestly dif | quarrel with him about it, fered with him, and we strarve to convince him of the error of his ways, but in this we were | not successful. We were sometimes led into employing strong language but it never lefts the new home to which he is about to depart, and we are sure that if the Island ever re- quires a friend to defend her interests in the to aet <hat part towards her. eee THE WAYS OF THE CITY. ‘We understand that severa) gentlemen have been summoned before the Mayor for riding aud driving upon the side walks within the jurisdiction ef the Corporation of Charlottetown, and we know of ene instanee of a Give having been inflict ed fur se dowg we consider that any pevalty for thus transgressing the law would be most just, because foot passengers bave as much right to protection as those who ride iu carriages. At the same time we advocate striet and impartial jus thee; firet, let the Corporation make the roads passable tor carts and earriages, and when these repairs are provided for, let them inflict whatever fine they may think necessary to stop persons driving on the side walks; but while the roads are left in such a condition as to be absolutely dangerous, it appears an act of gross injustice to fine persous for travelling upon the ouly part of the highways accessible to them. It would be well for the Corporation to reflect upon all this. because it will very naturally be urged that they keep the roads in an impassable state, for the ex- preas purpose of raising an incume by fiuing thoee who they compel to drive on the foot-way, (rather au easy way of raising the wind and fiiling the cuff-rs of the elders,) and we sinecrely recommend tne Corporation. if such be their motive, tu ap- point two or three gentlemen informers, who would doubtiews be found ready to do the dirty work upon au agreement for receiving half the fines. — Com.
