CALLS THEN DISLOYAL.
WARNING By, PRIEST.
Says attendance at Non-CathoLc
High Schools Is UnpardonabIe.

A warning, aimed especially at wealths
Catholics who send their children to city high
schools. has been pronounced by Father McESin-
non. the Jesuit rector OF the Church OF ST. Izna,-
titus Loyola, In Park-ave. and is eTnphatlcalIy IN
dorsed by Archbishop Farley in predatory note,
The note Is Almost as startling the circular,
and both have created a sensation IN ths
wealthitr parishes OF the city. The Archbishop
declares that he could illustrate by facts thar
would appan II they would not appeal TO our
well to do families the statements contained
In Father McKinnon's circular What the arch
bishop meant by the appalling facts referred To
is not made clear. but IL is intiTnated that
he will at an opportune moment elucidate ths
particular facts referred to-
Father McKinnon's circular has caused wide
spread gossip in ST. Ignatius's parish. especially
among the wealthy families, who, he declares,
send their children to city high schools instead
of to the established Catholic high schools.
Father McKinnon solemnly warns his parish-
toner's that, because OF the tendencies OF Cath-f
oIcs. especially wealthy Catholics. to embraces
the time spirit a great calamity is forebot-
ing. He declares that it would be calamity,
surely. If here in America the Spirit CT Wisdom
and of knowledge and of Fortitude were to cease
to manifest Himself IN the conduct OF our Cath
Ollie people.
"And yet IT is some such calamity We have
reason 10 anticipate unless we awake betimes
to the danger that threatens US and seek to
secure ourselves against it"
Bringing the subject directly home, Father
McKinnOn declares that here in Manhattan,
where. he declares. the population rs almost
overwhelmingly Catholic. there are fully three
score nOn-Catholic select preparatory schools
and that "for some reason or other the majority
Of the sons Of we'll to do Catholic families Of this
generation In these schools. and that in spite
of the fact that in these schools no Catholic
boys religion is safe"
Father McKinnon closes his pamphlet by de-
claring that such Catholics are openly dislOyaI
and committing a deed which it Is impos-
sible to palliate or TO excuse" and which in It
self is an ''act of objectionable disIoyalty."
The ArchbishOp's PREDATORY note indorsing the
above follows:
have read carefully your circular in behalf
of Catholic high schools. and of the LOyOla
school in particular. and most heartily indOrss
every thought of that letter. Were to rewrite II,
the various positions taken by you in your
statement Of the case by facts that would appall
if they would not appeal to our we'll TO do fani-
lies. / trust that those to whom you address
yourself will hear and heed this warning.
