Fundamental Principles.
In a few words let me resume and give some conclusions logically deducible from the facts, statements, and arguments submitted to you in this paper.
In a Republic whose citizens are of different religious beliefs, who are voters needing intelligence, who are parents breeding races of freemen, the following principles are primary and vital :—
1. | The non-interference of the State in religious matters, in church or school. |
2. | Compulsory knowledge, through parents' schools, under parents' control, and at their cost. |
3. | Free trade in education, or no monopoly of the teacher's profession. |
