sary had we paid wise attention t,
religious education. We may raj
against the parochial school system
as being un-American. But the Re
man church existed centuries befor
there was United States and TO
many of these centuries she was tn
great agency of enlightenment, edit
cation and culture. The parochia
school Is the most serious and success
full attempt to hold people to the relie
ious life. Our country has a magni
icent system of public schools. Sh
will teach the children history, scienc
art. languages; but they will not lie
the worlds greatest literature b
taught under their guidance, nor wi
they help to develop the noblest cal
acity of the human soul, the capacit
for God. This task assigned to tn
church. So be 1t, and let the churc
choose that method which in her wi
