Notes and Remarks [excerpt]

     We doubt whether any event less momentous than the assassination of a President of the United States, by an anarchist born and bred among us and educated in our public schools, could have done so much in so short a time toward exposing the fallacy that the prosperity and security of our republic is at all dependent on our much-belauded school system. All of a sudden it seems to be generally recognized, even by ministers who used to shout themselves hoarse in their advocacy of the little red school-house, that the public schools, as at present constituted, instead of being a conserving are emphatically a disintegrating social force. Now, at long last, the vexed question of religious education can be discussed with hope of its being satisfactorily settled.
