English Puritans and American public schools versus modern morals
The piece contrasts English Puritan moral influence with Restoration-era Marlowe-like decadence, arguing Puritan ethics undergird both Britain and the United States. It lauds New York’s centennial public schooling, Clinton's 1795 funding act, and the schools as nurseries of citizenship, warning against mob rule. It notes Democratic party moves toward a southern presidential candidate and Texas as a likely destination.
