CATHOLIC EDUCATIONAL ASSO
CATION.
GENERAL RESOLUTIONS.


AS there can be no education worthy
Of the name that excludes religion,
it is to be regretted that in our cOun-
try, primary, intermediate and higher
education is impaired without refer
ence to religious training. We note
with pleasure that many prominent
educators, not Of our faith, are de-
manding remedy for this condition.
We rejoice in the rapid growth Of
Catholic colleges for women, and eX-
daughters to those institutions where
womanly virtues are developed under
Catholic influence.
AS state and sectarian universities
do not seem fitting places for mem
bers of religious communities Of
women to prepare for college and high
school work we congratulate our Cath
olic universities and colleges for their
zeal in providing courses in education
and for opening summer schools
where women and especially those of
religious communities may be taught.
AS there is a growing demand for
| trained social workers and works of
charity are becoming more complex
and difficult, we view with pleasure
the opening of classes Of sociology
and economics in some of our Catholic
colleges and seminaries.
Since we regard the teaching of sex
| hygiene in the schools as detrimental
to morality and since lectures on this
subject given in some schools were
so vile that they we're excluded by
| law from the mails of the United
States, we urge Catholics in every
part of the country to oppose the
| teaching Of seX-hygiene in schools OF
their communities.
We deplore the frequent introduc-
ton upon the stage of sex plays and
extend our sympathy and cooperation
to the movement in New York OF
listing those plays that are proper and
encouraging Catholic people not to
frequent plays where Christian virtue
is derided or endangered.
Make Our Schools Catholic.
The prevailing note or sentiment OF
! the convention was to make ON
schools thoroughly Catholic, which
cannot be done by simply initiating
| the public schools and then teaching
catechism for a short time. This con
tention was brought out by the excel
lent papers not only of the clergy
| but by those of the sisters. Members
| of communities throughout the coun
try will read with deep interest and
profit the three papers presented by
the nuns. No doubt, it is known that
these papers will appear in the gen
eral report and may be secured at the
Secretary's office, 1861 Main street
Columbus, Ohio.
There was little change in the list
of officers. In the college department
Rev M. A. Schumacher, C. S. c., Vice
President of Notre Dame University
was elected President in the place Of
| Very Rev. J. f. Green, o. S. A., who
had held the position for the past two
years. Very Rev. B. P. O'Reilly, S. M.
Dayton, Ohio, was elected Vice-Presi
dent Of the college section, and Very
Rev. J. P Mahoney, G. S. ", Presi
dent of ST. Viator College was chosen
Secretary. In the seminary depart
ment, the officers are Very Rev. ]. B
Peterson, Phi. d., Boston, Mass, Very
Rev. H. 7. Drumgoole, S. s., d. D..

Dyer, S. s., d. D., Baltimore, Nd
And of the parish school section, Rev

the action of FIR. Francis Howard who
