L England than the English public
school. and yet the two great
public schools Of Observation-Disclosures
and Eton--were both founded by Cath
ollcs. for Catholics and in Catholic times
as may be seen in the very title OF
Eton-"The College Of Our Lady Of
Eton."
The educational traditions started by
Catholics and the type Of education set
by them has been carried on outside Of
the church since the Reformation. Eng.
lish and Irish Catholics. because OF the
Continental training of their clergy. were
educated In schools run not upon the
model Of their own fathers but In imi-
tation OF the schools upon the Continent.
II was Cardinal Newman who re-
stored the ancient tradition Of English
education to the Catholics of England
at his school at E~dgebaston. near iir-
mingham. and the success Of his experi-
ment is proved by the numerous schools
OF this type supported by English and
Irish Catholics at the present moment.

ton was transplanted to America by the
