II was three years ago that this move
ment for Roman Catholic summer schools
was started by the Catholic University
and Marquette University. II was sue
cess from the start. The attendance at
both schools the first year was so large
and the results so gratifying that they
were extended in the second year. and
they will be larger than ever this sum-
mer.
These schools were organized as a re-
suit of the desire of the hierarchy that
their educational institutions should be
kept up to as high a standard as the pub
lie schools and colleges, and the move
ment is in line with their efforts TO Sc
cure for the teaching force special faC!li-
ties for normal training equal to those
afforded in non-Catholic Institutions. Be-
fore the establishment Of these SUMMER
schools the sisters and other instructors
were Obliged to seek this special normal
preparation in State institutions or other
secular schools
Pope Plus y. even when not well,
keeps informed al all times about Cstho-
lie church affairs in the Philippines. oand
the action of our government in political
and educational affairs affecting the
islands. The Catholic Congregation of
the Propaganda recently decided to send
from Rome ten additional missionaries
to Manila. The congregation receives
reports encouraging TO it concerning the
prospects of the church there under
American bishops, and to some extent
American priests. Mgr Petrelli. the
Pope's representative. was warmly re-
ceived a short time ago when he went
to the Diocese of Lipa. accompanied by
the Archbishop-of Manila. and he
sured the Pope in turn that old bitter
ness against the friars has wholly dis
appeared from the islands.
Germans are coming to the help of the
Italians in supplying missionaries for the
Philippines. and they and Americans are
wholly supplanting the old Spanish
regime, even to the smallest mission. Ten
missionaries and six Sisters of Charity.
belonging to the Holy Name CongreGa-
tions of Germans. recently left Rome to
work in the mountain of Abra. They took
with them equipm .ur schools. Four
seminaries of Germany and Italy. thirty
additional missionaries. go to the Phil
ippines before the end Of this year. II
is the understanding in Catholic circles
in Rome. Vatican official circles. that the
United States government gives mission
aries every encoura cement. and from this
fact the Vatican believes that the time
is not distant when paganism will be
driven from every part of the islands.
The Pope is known to he lending the
Congregation of the Propaganda all of
the help he can to this end.
