" say, were Catholic schools elm
mated from the land, it were done
within a few generations with the
Catholic Church in America.
What, then, must be thought Of
Catholic parents, who, within
reach Of Catholic schools, hold
back their children from those
schools; and commit them to other
schools, where religious instruc-
ton is never given, where usu-
ally positive anti-Catholic, anti
Christian influences are poured
forth from conscious lips, from I'M
conscious attitude, from ever
speaking example of un-Catholic,
unbelieving teachers? The sin of
such parents cries to Heaven for
vengeance. Excuse must not be
sought in the so-called religious
neutrality of a non-Catholic school.
Of itself professed neutrality in
matters Of religion is an ominous
peril to the pupil: it impresses
the pupil that religion is a secon-
Diary affair, separate from and in
dependent Of other realities in life,
instead Of being, as it should be,
the all-pervading, all-penetrating
influence in all departments Of
thought and action. And neutral
ity never exists, never can exist.
Teachers cannot move Or speak
without exhaling, however indir-
ectly, the thoughts and the emo
lions Of their souls: and to the in
experienced, uniformed child, the
teacher is the guide to be in all
things hearkened to and initiated.
We must note one class Of Catho-
lies who are especially guilty when
they close to their children the
| doors Of Catholic school. They
are our well-to-do Catholics, who,
to be in the fashion, to be segre-
gated from the common mass, to
be arm-in-arm with the social up

PLENARY COUNCIL OF QUE
BEG.

Two years ago the first Plenary
Council of Canada was held at
Quebec. It was attended by all
the members Of the Canadian
Hierarchy, and presided over by
the Most Reverend Donatus
Sbaretti, Titular Archbishop Of
Ephesus, and Apostolic Delegate
to Canada. Shortly after the adj
journment Of the Council it's de-
crees were borne to Rome by His
Excellency and submitted to the
Holy See for approval. Word has
just come from Rome that these
DEGREES Of the first Plenary Coun-
Gil Of Quebec have received the
solemn approval Of the Holy See.
This information is conveyed in
a letter Of the Holy Father, dated
July 10, 1911, and addressed to
the Archbishops and Bishops Of
Canada. In this letter His Holt
ness, after stating that the acts
Of the Council have been given
recognition and approval by the
judgment of the Holy See, con-
graduates the Hierarchy Of Can
ada on the favorable outcome Of
their deliberations, and calls their
attention to some points which de-
mand their special consideration.
Since these matters are of more or
less interest to all Catholics we
subjoin the following extracts
from the Pontiff's letter:
Wherefore, in the first place,
we desire you to. prudently but
perisistently strive to eradicate
whatever differences of opinion
still exist among Catholics
through diversity Of race and lam
guage. For nothing is SO fitting
to men of the same faith and of
the same flock as to be of COM
plete harmony Of mind among
themselves, and nothing is more
necessary than this concord for
the promotion of religion through
but the length and breadth of
your vast country.
''Then again, increasingly adj
monish all Catholics to show
themselves such, not privately
alone, but publicly as well. For
that to which We are devoting
Our labors, to restore, as far as
possible, all things In Christ, may
not be realized, unless the spirit Of
Christ prevade public life In all
its phases, as well as the conduct
of individuals and the family
circle.
"Since to this end it is abso-
lutely necessary that the precepts
of Christian wisdom be generally
known, it will be incumbent upon
you, Venerable Brothers, and upon
all who are entrusted with the
care of souls, to watch with care
that the teaching Of religion be
never wanting In elementary
schools, but that it be given daily
at fixed hours and in such manner
that the children may drink In
not only genuine knowledge, but
sincere love Of the Church, their
Mother, and of the heavenly doc
trines which she teaches. And In
Catholic high schools and colleges

ton was given as 1904, Of whom
1851 were resident in Melbourne.
Today there are 265,0OO Catholics In
the State, divided thus: Archdiocese
Of Melbourne, 145,333; Diocese of Bal
larat, 59,488; Diocese of Sale, $4,000;
Diocese of Sandhurst, 45,36S. In
Catholic schools $4,000 children are
being educated; there are 23O secular
and 81 regular priests; and nearly
1,400 nuns.

WHITTIER OUR CHILDREN?

Whittier our children for time
and for eternity? What the prin-
ciples Of belief and Of conduct
that will guide them in safety
through the wanderings and mazes
of their earthly existence? What
the inspirations and motives that
should dominate their life on
earth so as to insure to them as
it's outcome eternal felicity in
Heaven? That is the question
which thoughtful parents must
needs again and again put to
themselves and seriously ponder
over before the bar Of their con-
science and that Of Him who is
the Supreme Judge of parents and
Of children.
To the Catholic father or moth
er the answer comes instantly
along the lines Of Catholic faith
and Catholic morals must be the
steppings Of their children; from
the principles of Catholic faith
must they draw inspiration and
guidance with the rules of it's code
Of morals must they accord ambi-
tons and practices, if life on
earth is to be as God ordained it
to be, as security from peril and
remorse requires it to be, if life
on earth is the price Of life in
Heaven. On this point there is
no room for doubt or hesitation,
no room for compromise or bar
gain. The eternal will Of the AL
mighty has so decided, and from
His ordinances there is no appeal.
The all-important matter, then,
for Catholic parents is so to train
their children in the teachings
and the spirit of Catholic faith
that, strongly rooted in it, vivify-
ingly permeated with its fecun-
dating sap, they never afterwards
can be driven from it's mornings,
never afterwards loosened from
it's influences. To this end chill
dren must be thoroughly instruct
ed in the Catholic faith and thus
made proof against future peril
and temptation.
The instruction needed by Cath
olic children is given in Catholic
schools. There religion is the
daily lesson, the daily practice !:
there the supernatural is brought
home to them in its dogmas and
it's precepts: there the supernat-
ural is so impressed upon them
that it enters into their soul as
very life-blood and becomes as
it were a gift of nature itself.
| A lesser instruction in religion
than that which is perseveringly
and necessarily impaired, is a sup
CRITICAL vesture of the soul, that
never penetrates into its fbres
and is easily wrested from it by
the passing storm. We should
heed the relentless lesson of expe-
rience; experience is clear and en-
phatic in its warnings as to the
fearful risks of loss of faith to
which Catholics in mature age
are exposed, who in early years
were not solidly instructed in
their religion-risks, to which,
unfortunately, too many fall a
prey.
\ Where, through insuperable cir
cumstances attendance upon a
Catholic school is impossible, pas
tors and parents must take extra
ordinary measures to instruct the
. little ones. At times extraordin-
/, airy measures are taken, and at
, times they succeed. Too often,
, however, measures such as are
J taken insure only partial and in
sufficient results. As situations
, lare in America we may confident
