He quotes Sections I and C of the act passed by the Texas Legislature for the purpose of Organizing and maintaining a system of public free schools in Texas . The items he sends are those giving the Superintendent of Public instruction supervisory control of all public free schools, a salary of $3,000 a year, and a record of all children in each county between the ages of six and eighteen years of age. All children are required to attend the schools under penalty of a $25 fine for each offense, unless it is found that they are being tutored by recognized competent instructors, in which case they are to be exempt. Under this law no child may quit school to learn a trade until he is 18, nor may he be placed in a position to help his destitute parents until that age. The lawmakers of Texas must think their children blockheads for even in Prussia, noted for its scholastic wisdom, the children are not required to attend school after their fourteenth year. The Catholic population of Texas must bear the curse of tyrannical school legislation. Catholic families intending to migrate to Texas would do well to remember the many hardships facing them in Texas. Hundreds of school directors, Supervisors, Superintendants, teachers, etc., will live and grow fat on the sums of money raised by oppressive legislation for the maintenance of infidel and godless schools and the poor people will suffer from want of sound education. Feltin thinks it to be the most arbitrary and oppressive school law that can disgrace the population of a free country. :: I-1-o A.L.S. 4pp. 8vo.
