I can not believe that the real leaders of the Catholic Church or the rank and file of its members in the United States are opposed to public schools. or to an opportunity being given to every child of obtaining an education at the public expense. I hope they will learn the real meaning: of these bills to create a Department of Education. If they do so. and if I am rigllt in my estimate of their attitude toward public schools. they will aid in stopping the unwise opposition to these bills to which I have referred. I wish to add a table showing the nativeborn illiterates. and the foreignborn immigrants in each State. The table also shows the allotment made by the bill to each State for illiteracy and Americanization. I request that the table be printed.
