Summary:	Petition from Samuel A. McCoskry, Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Michigan, to the Michigan Senate and House of Representatives. McCoskry notes, "He has learned from the public newspapers, and from petitions about to be presented to your Honorable bodies, that an application is to be made for such a division of school fund of this State, so that 'in all cases the parent be left free to choose the teacher to whom he will entrust the education of his child.' Such an application (if granted) he considers as giving the right not only to parents, but to every religious body, to select teachers who will teach the peculiarities of the religious views or opinions they may hold." (Page 1). McCoskry reminds the Legislature of the value of religious impartiality by the government, but asks that if a change is made to the common school fund he would like a portion for those in his spiritual oversight.
