EDUCATION AND ORTHODOXY
Sir,—Education is too much employed as a recruiting medium for orthodoxy or the herd. Such profound heresies as the truth expressed in Holbein’s “Ambassadors,” Rubens’s “Madonna,” Christ’s “Good Samaritan,” Silone’s “The Seed Beneath the Snow,” and Belfrage’s “Let My People Go,” if accurately interpreted, should stimulate the soul—i.e., the individual’s responsibility towards truth. Sectarian education, as proposed in public schools, will do the opposite.—Yours, etc., H. J. BUTTLE. Darfield, January 7, 1944.
