The book "Public School Education" by Michael Müller, C.S.S.R., is a scathing critique of the public school system in America. The author argues that the system is responsible for the corruption and decay of morals in society. He believes that the emphasis on secularism and the failure to provide adequate moral instruction have led to the decline of traditional values. Müller advocates for a return to traditional methods of education, which emphasize the role of mothers in shaping their children's values. He criticizes the public school system for its neglect of domestic duties and the proper family discipline, leading to a growing lack of filial reverence and obedience among young people. The author also highlights the importance of home training and the need for women to be educated in their roles as wives and mothers. Müller sees conventual schools as the best option for educating daughters, as they provide a thorough system of education that adapts them to their destiny as wives and mothers. He believes that these schools are essential for raising a generation of virtuous and responsible women who will be able to counteract the growing lawlessness and crime in society. The book concludes with a call for reform and a return to traditional values, emphasizing the need for a more moral and virtuous education system.
