RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION FOR
CATHOLICS IN NEW YORK PUB-
Lie SCHOOLS TO BE GIVEN IN
THE HOURS CHILDREN CAN BE
EXCUSED.

A unique plan by which Catholic
children. attending public schools may
be given religious obstruction during
school hours, but not in public school
buildings, was iflaugurated in the
Bronx on September 27. The present
plan contempIates giving instructions
on religious subjects to $500 children
each week, and If successful it will be
extended.
Three schools are affected by the
system. They are No. IL, at Overing
street and Frisbie avenue; No 80, at
One Hundred and Eighty.third street
and Cambreling avenue, and No. As,
at One Hundred and Eighty-ninth
street and Lorillard Place, in which
the Writ system Of education is being
tried.
The board OF education has not
authorized the plan, but 1t Is a part
of the Writ system, which has been
authorized by the board. The work
of religious instruction is in the
rented quarters in st. Johns Place,
near school No. As. The instructors
will take the children to and from the
schools.
Under the Writ plan, by which, it
is claimed 10 per cent Of the teachers
can be dispensed with, classes are to
be sent out for religious instruction
during school hours SO that teachers
may be able to care for other classes.
Four classes will be out of school each
period and three different sets Of chm.
dren viii be instructed each week.
The younger children will receive
two days of religious instruction each
week and the older children will be
Instructed on Fridays. 1t is expected
that other churches will join in the
plan.
During the closing days of last
term, Father Cafuzzi had 1900 Cath
olic children out of school NO. Az
during school hours, giving then
religious instruction. Five teachers
were provided. Now he plans tc
extend the work to three schools ani
provide eight teachers for $500 chill
ldren. The other denominations vii
follow a similar plan.

counsel and chairman Of the commit
