Abstract
In some phases of the present work materials have been redundant. Accordingly, limitation of treatment has been partly arbitrarily (one begins somewhere, else he never begins), partly naturally extended in time from nineteen hundred and twenty-two (the beginning of the Oregon controversy) down to the present day. in scope the view has been restricted to the Roman catholic parochial school child’s share in what he considers his right as a citizen. Here there is question of minority rights. As in the sectional, racial and industrial fields, to pose the question is to present the problem, should the Catholic-school child share in such facilities as are offered to all American children, or should he be refused on the ground that these benefits would aid in building up and supporting his sectarian school?
