ROME. April 2S.-A correspondent has had a

acquainted with the Papal views on the school
question 10 the United States. he said In part:
What seems necessary here from Catholic
point OF view Is moderation, aud not preclpita
ton. The general course TO be pursued. how
ever, is quite manifest. Catholics In America
should have parochial schools In all parishes
where II Is possible, and where there Is sufficient
means 10 render them equal TO public schools
Where 1t is impossible to do this, schools should
be established IN which the catechism may be
taught, or the Stale should be persuaded TO per.
NIT instruction In catechlsm outside of the
hours regularly appointed for ordinary school
subjects, as is done In Germany. One thing IS
absolutely obligatory; that is 10 found no
parochial schools unless they can be put on
level with those of The State. AT present Cath
olIcs in the United States cannot rival the state
schools. as they have not sufficient resources.
