the numbers and proficiency of the pupils
OF each parish of the diocese. The report
states that the number on the rolls is:
Catholics, % 1926, and non-C Catholics, 1926.

examination in religious Instruction.
There is am. increase on the rolls Of So,
while the increase in the number OF those

teachers. The examiner gives expression
to the necessity for further explanation
Of the meaning Of the words of the Cate
ohism to the pupils and for greater strict
ness in requiring the attendance Of the
children.
