PaFOchial Schools.
Commenting on the report Of the national
education bureau on parochial schools the
Boston Transcript says:
These schools constitute at least an i'm
portant factor in religious education, for
the sake OF which the Catholics contribute
at large personal sacrifices with all the en-
thusiasm that numbers and intense convic-
ton create At the same time they do &C
tually produce a saving in taxes 10 town,
county and state, which is estimated to be
from S2O,OO0,OO0 10 100000 annually. for
IT is TO be remembered that sisters are no
more salaried teachers than are the bishops
priests and rectors salaried superintendent
ana supervisors.
/ II also Is abundantly proved that paro-
chial ana public schools can co-exist, but
which in the end numerically will be the
larger depends upon the character Of emf
grafton. Where one town makes gains IN
its parochial schools another loses This
present dependence upon the personnel OF
the emigrants is independent OF any excel
| lence in school instruction. There are prob-
ably as great variations In parOchial as in
public schools in this respect. But Il is un-
deniabls that many branches from kinder
garten through the grammar grades are
equally well taught in botn classes OF
schools
Moreover, since the Catholic teachers are
following modern methods In school man,

The reason that all the teachers are TO
be put through a strenuous period OF
training in ball playing is that the course
Of study in games arranged for the ele-
mentary schools by Henry Suder. super
visor OF physical culture. has been found
10 be more difficult for the teachers than
for the pupils
A year ago Superintendent Suder outlined
the course of study in games. When
warm weather set in many Of the teachers
took up the book and began the work OF
instructing the pupils in the art OF playing
them as prescribed by the suder rules.
The rules were good enough, but when
II came 10 practice the teachers found
themselves wanting. simultaneously with
the discovery OF their own deficiencies they
noted that some OF the boys who never
got good marks in geography or arithmetic
underwent sudden process Of mental
awakening when It came 10 playing ball
and regularly put the teachers out on first
base without ceremony.
To meet the emergency, what Is known
as the Institute Of Games was organ
lied by Prof. Suder. After a two weeks
trial the institute was pronounced by
teachers and principals alike not only an
effective cure for butter fingers" but for
every other ailment common 20 amateur

Thirty thousand new sittings were pro-

population that fully 1900 children must
be content with half time. Similar condi-

but the number OF new applicants this year
exceeded the new sittings by 5000. Thus
the problem OF providing school facilities
