Common Schools: A Discourse on the Modifications Demanded by the Roman Catholics; Delivered in the North Church, Hartford, on the Day of the Late Fast, March 25, 1853 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Public schools for all, not for one church—a defense of the common school system in a changing America.
This 1853 sermon examines how to keep public schools open to every child while respecting religious differences. It argues that the state must remain Christian in character and that education should unite, not divide, diverse communities.
Key issues addressed include the threat of separating Catholic students from public schools, the role of religion in education, and practical paths for accommodating faiths without destroying the common system. The speaker speaks from a Protestant American perspective on what it means to educate a nation while honoring liberty and conscience.
- How a common school system can stay united across religious lines
- Arguments for keeping Bible instruction in schools while respecting Catholics’ concerns
- Potential consequences of fully privatizing or parochializing public education
- Ideas for gradual, fair accommodations that preserve public funding for education
Ideal for readers interested in 19th‑century American education, religious liberty, and the foundations of public schooling.
