do this schools should be established in which the
catechism may be taught or the state should be per
suaded to permit instruction in the ctechism outside OF

subjects as Is done In Germany One thing, however
is absolutely obligatory that IS 20 found no paTOchial
schools unless they be put on level with those o
the State it would simply end in the children de-

however Catholics In the United States cannot rival the

do you believe that the demands of Archbishop
Ireland will be acceded 10 by the state u

one should always endeavor to obtain whatever con-
