The Public School Question, As Understood By A Catholic American Citizen, And By A Liberal American Citizen: Two Lectures is a book written by Bernard John Mcquaide in 1876. The book contains two lectures that explore the topic of public schools in America from the perspective of a Catholic American citizen and a liberal American citizen. The first lecture focuses on the concerns and objections that Catholics have about public schools, particularly in relation to religious instruction and the influence of Protestantism. The second lecture examines the issue of public schools from a liberal perspective, discussing the role of government in education and the importance of secular education. Mcquaide presents both sides of the debate and offers his own opinions on the matter. The book provides a historical look at the public school system in America and the various viewpoints that have been expressed on the topic. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of education in America and the ongoing debate over public schools.Before The Free Religious Association, In Horticulture Hall, Boston.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
