The prostitute spirit of the parliament is anew exemplified in Stat. 37 Henry VIII. , c. 17, in which they recognise the king to have always been, by the word of God, supreme head of the church of England; and acknowledge that archbishops, bishops, and other ecclesiastical persons, have no manner of jurisdiction but by the royal mandate. To him alone, say they, and such persons as he shall appoint, full power and authority is given from above to hear and determine all manner of causes ecclesiastical, and to correct all manner of heresies, errors, vices, and sins whatsoever. No allusion is made of tho concurrence of a convocation, nor even of a parliament. The royal proclamations are in effect acknowledged to have, not only the force of law, but the authority of revelation; so that the king could regulate the actions of men, control their words, and even direct their inward sentiments and opinions. No monarch ever wielded the sceptre with such careless indifference to the liberties of his country as did Henry VIII. , nor would the people have permitted him to commit with impunity, the violences of which he was guilty, had not a parliament served him as an instrument and a shield.

The bad effect of this kind of cautiously counting majorities and minorities does not end with the fact that public progress is delayed but the evil wrought upon the individual and hence society. One can not swerve from love of truth and remain unharmed, and if the leaders of one age stifle their convictions the next age is the more likely to have no convictions to stifle. The fading of the sense of the reality and power of evil is the greatest peril to which men are exposed. and coupled closely with it is the dulling of the appreciation of ones personal responsibility in the matter even though he may not be in any way directly its cause. I am well aware that I have been preaching rank heresy here according to some. I have known school men who prided themselves upon keeping the public away from the schools, who deliberately adopted the gum shoe policy of quietly carrying on the schools without the publics realizing that there was such an institution and that they were paying its bills, and it is true that public interest in the schools and discussion of educational matters will often bring trouble in its wake for the school administrator, because of the ill-advised and unwise activities of cranks and know-nothings. But this paper is outgrowing its limits and I wished to say many other things. I wished to call attention to that despicable practice of disloyalty that exists to at least a limited degree, in nearly every corps of teachers, that spirit that allows one to say and do things quietly in a semi-public way that reflects upon a fellow-worker, or help make the work of the superintendent harder to be accomplished, and that spirit which allows the superintendent whose pride it should ever beto fight his te. . .
