Excerpt from Voluntaryism in Higher Education: A Paper Read Before the New York Convocation of Teachers in Albany, July 14, 1876The early Christians found education imbedded in heathenism. As the State religion was heathen, they were, of necessity, obliged to establish schools for their children, in order to prevent them from being positively instructed in the principles of a false religion. Hence Christian schools, supported by the voluntary contributions of the Christian population, grew up side by side with Christian churches and charitable institutions similarly maintained. W'hen Christianity became the religion of the State, the State as sumed the care of schools together with the care and sup port of churches. Education became a constituent part of the general church establishment. Though funds for the 'support of churches, hospitals, and schools were very large ly contributed by private individuals, these institutions, and especially the schools, were always under' the control of the Church established by law. At the Reformation, the school system became a part of the Church establishment, under the control of the authorities of the parish, and the inter mediate schools and universities were, in various modes, brought under the control of the State and Church united.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
