Winship: "The public school is the one force, is the only force, that
can unify all classes and conditions of society. Here we have the
children of the nation in their entirety, and we can, if we will,
teach them in the schools so much of the grandeur of our possession,
of the heroic in our history, of the brilliant in our prosperity, of
the fascinating in our traditions, that the fathers of the future
will be willing to vote for and die, if necessary, for the American
idea; that the mothers of the future will teach their sons to develop
our resources by industry, to honor the active duties of private and
public system, because it lies at the foundation of our national
existence."
Where does the vicious element which is found in this country come
from, and to what church does it belong? Ah, 98 per cent of those
whom we call anarchists can trace their origin from foreign
countries, and they are always identified with the Roman Catholic
Church.
Wherever you find a national disturbance, and wherever you find the
spirit of anarchy in this country, you will find a spot where Roman
Catholicism exists, as her teachings are anarchistic, as she teaches
her followers a doctrine that is as sure to lead to anarchy as water
is to flow down hill.
Catholicism teaches her children that our public schools are "plague
spots" and "nurseries of hell," and impresses upon their minds that
education, in a broad sense, is not essential, and also teaches them
that they must look to the priestcraft for their education, and at
the same time the priestcraft is instructed by the Pope of Rome that
a broad-gauge education is not permissible to be given to the
followers of Catholicism, and the Pope of Rome teaches her bishopric
and her priestcraft that they must fight the public school system,
and in its stead erect the parochial schools of Rome, which are
nothing more nor less than schools of dogmas, and these dogmas are
incubators of anarchy, for without education and without love of
country, anarchy is as certain to follow as the day is certain to
follow night, but still Protestantism stands idly by and allows
Catholicism to villify her institutions, and at the same time permits
Catholicism to place her followers in a position to draw salaries
from the institutions which they despise and hate with the venom of
hell.
It is my object and my aim to arouse Protestantism to a sense
