Excerpt from Seven Letters on the Non-Religious Common School System of Canada and the United States

The Chief Superintendent of Schools, in the Appendix to his recent Report for 1851, headed Question of Religious Instruction in connection with our system of Public Instruo tion, endeavours, in what I consider a most fallacious manner, to defend the present Common School System, in opposition to those numerous, highly respectable, and ear nest-minded Christians of this Province who desire not only intellectual but religious schools. And further, believing the plan, so generally adopted on this Continent, of instructing the masses of the people in secular knowledge, altogether apart from religious training, to be alike dishonourable to God, subversive of national morality, and awfully dangerous to individual happiness, both present and future, I beg to sub mit a few thoughts upon the subject through the columns of your paper.
