What About Our School!?

A r»«k«r r«Iuet«nt arm; marched back to the hall* of lenrnlnif this week u the curtain rlics on •oothir lehoUsUo yutx.

Of jjKclal intcrtat to us I* the Increailsf Im-poftince of th» rob of the Catholic School In thta elMf^m influx.

Perh»p* no oUiar »in*Ic unit of the Church ia AmericA lias boon to highly praise* and 10 bitter­ly «tUek*t u tht Catholic School To fiiond »nd fat alikt, th» CalhoHo School It the fountc?rJ-..-J of faith from which sterna one et the primary iourco of tha Ohuroh'a itronxth.

Eieh jrc»r th« C*tho!lc School aatuli forth thoaundi of younf m«n usd «onm Into llfa'a hfttUa, w*ll-frouniltd In th* funUiraentaU of thsir fallh anj thorou|hl# Informed it to tu meanlnj.

It U «raall wondsr, th«r«{ore, that tha Catholk Sehool It Mjaming an ffvir-bro»d«nin» rolt, not ftflly In th* Hfo of tho Church hut In the history of thli na<{on of our*.

Think* U th« nlHl«ga ind <forulfht of all tu bUhops, th# Rochisttr DioetM II ulnjfutarly for-tanit* in harbf • u t o d lyitoa of Catholic tdu-cation, built on thi abidlnt belief of deify »nd laity in the utter nc«««ltj of evoh an education In tho patteir. of rallgfotu md conVmunlty Ufa.

From time to tiino we have had enumerated for uur bono fit tha font sutvlnft* whloh secure to the tax>paylnir public ni th.> roiuit of tha operation of Catholic lehoola. tn tho Rochuter Dioeete alone, this turn «rai estimated at 15^31,410.46 for the I04(! calendar year.

On top of that ii tha saTtngs In capita! outlay. For Instance it ha* Be«a estimated that at loast 119,000,000 would b» required for the construction of building* to house ehe pupils now attending diocoien school* If, by tome misfortune, our nchooln would coa«« to axttt.

floweret, the rttl atrength of tha Catholic School la net embodied in the phytic*! structures which enable it t o function.

By comparison., tome of these are utterly out­moded by modern buildlnes. Th*y literally cry out for early replscement.

Othere are too amaH to cope with a riiln* •ehool population which finds classrooms Jammed far tn excess of capacity.- No, it can't b* aald that the strength of our schools lits in ctone end mortar. If such wore the case. It certainly would ba very much restricted.

Nor 1* the main aourc* of our eeholaiUc . atrength found in its curricula of secular subjects. TVu*, U ia a matter of real pride to make t com­parison between tho showing of Catholic and pub-

JFuit B e t w e e n Us

Ite school pupils in those subjects. Records in­dicate that our pupils do not surTor in such •» corqpartson.

Tha real atrenfta of our schools is found in tb« fact that God has been admitted to our classroom*.

Tho very mention at that Name breathes s spiritual animation into the enure scholastic structure. Take that Nemo from the classroom, remove the cruclft* and what hava you. Soraa-thtng akin to a reasonable facsimile of a public school classroom.

Certainly the presence of priest* and nuns m our Catholic schools is conditioned entirely on the teaching of religion. Were religion eradicated from the curriculum, these religious, with thmr degrees and other, qualifications, might wall take advantage of the recent salary .increases for edu­cator* aad look to greener pastures.

That, of course, won't happen because these teachers show the same spirit of sarrifieo which history has uhown Is necessary tf our Catholic school* are tn carry on. The system has been built on sacrifice. It has grown on sacrifice end It will endure as long ss parents, teachers aad clergy carry on in snch a spirit.

The rampant Irrellglon of modem days has forced leaders of our American society to the re­luctant conclusion that you can't build e sound educational structure without morality.

Soma of them have had tbo counw to speak out on the matter. They now roalne that tho theory of separation of rhurch and stato has fwon carried to ridiculous extremes with the result that the Ood monttonod by our forefathers in U» Declaration of Independence has no place in tho classroom.

So wonder they glance at our Catholic school system with a twinge of envy Th<»y now realft* that you cant teach a child history. (reogTaphy and tha other sciences without filling the gap by telling the youngster of the Divine Force which motivates every field of learning.

But the hands of these few are tied by the blind bigots who look on the Catholic School as a citadel of some fancied foreign power.

By tortured reasoning, these mlsyuided tealots are trying at this very moment'to d*prive Amer­ican children attending Catholic schools of such fundamental rights as health and bos services

It Is indeed fortunate that there are some fair minded cltfiens outside the Church who fully rra Use the very real contribution which Catholic edu­cation is making to our democratic society

of a long-standing tradition that JegQs was an onlj child, especially since Jewish wiiters used the word "brethren" so loosely.

Christianity has generally thought of james, Joseph, Simaj aad -hide as being cousins of Jesus—rather dis­tant cousins at that --since they were probaoly the sons of Mary, wife of Cleophas (also called AlpheusK who was her self a cousin of Christ's mother. But the Hebrew or Aramaic languages has no word for cousin! The closest the sacred writers could get to It «as "brother" or "brethren": John Calvin - possibly the greatest Protestant theologian —wrote: "\Ve have already stated that according to the Hebrews all relatJws are call-brothers."

Anyway, it's ffisery that if Jtesiis had had Brothers, He would have entrusted l£ s mother to them when He was dying on the Cross. Instead, He committed her to the care of St. John, the Eehwed Dis­ciple.

Tt"s eertaail> much the more scholarly opinion, then to hold thai Jfeus was an onlj child.
