The Parochiai School Question.
Priests and laymen OF the Catholic
Church in the Archdiocese Of Baltimore
have been so impressed by the views OF
Archbishop Ireland on the school question
that some or them are considering the
advisability OF submitting Il proposition
TO the city authorities, providing the Car
dinal agrees TO their plans.
A circular which embraces the views Of
Archbishop Ireland has been distributed
among the clergy. IL the Catholics Of
Baltimore decide to make a proposition
TO the city authorities they may adopt
Archbish Irelands plan as a basis. or
they may offer to let the city take the
parochial schools as a part Of the public
school system without stipulation that
religion shall be taught during or after
school hours. Religious Instruction would
then be given In Sunday schools only.
Nothing definite has yet been determined
upon. The only facts at present are that
the circular has been distributed and
that the subject is under consideration.
