letter." from Archbishop Manning, mainly upon the
subject OF education. was read at high mass In the
Roman Catholic churches and chapes OF London.

swept away at the older universities, ne declared

to be Christian" and that "henceforth the
religious formation or our youth must be the work
OF individuals" 1t appeared to him that IL is the

school Is 'the provision made for the
training OF those VINO are baptized" and that ut Is
