ABSTRACT
One of the most common is that which comes from identifying church with religion, a system of faith. The people were regarded as a baptized people and the government set in authority that people was viewed as a Christian government which had to assist the church in the fulfilment of its mission. The churches are provided with an opportunity to give the teaching in the school in separate hours. The attitude that the public school ought in essence to be considered adequate for all was abandoned. The formal freedom to found and run private schools had been transformed into a material freedom. The proponents of denominational education reject the suggestion that a denominational school is in fact nothing more than a public school plus a few hours of religious instruction. Public education was relieved of the moderate Christian nature which it had possessed in the period from 1806 to 1857.
