and Il Il hoped that the success thus
far achisYsd bids fair 70 continue.
Il is not inopportune 70 state the
purpose Of sueh school. With the
advantage Of the public school in easy
reach. why should schools like St.
James BE- organized and supported at
an extra expenses
The reason 10 simple, common
sense reason. To those who have
grasped the meaning Of education,
there can be no eomplsts mental de-
velopmeni of human being where re-
liRious training Is omitted. The
Catholic and non-Catholic silks, who
have given honest and thorough con-
sideration 70 human life In It's relation
70 time and eternity, admit this.
Furthermore. conscientious considers

given our Creator, who Authorisatively
sets The destiny Of man, can never be
ignored, when the development OF the
moral man 10 In question II Is this
phase Of the subject which answers The
question.
The public school may satisfy the
conscientious conviction Of our Epis.
copalian or Methodist friend. We
won't question his sincerity II he says
he honestly believes u does. Tho
Catholic, however, cannot honestly |
say so. His conscientious conviction
calls for the teachIng Of hfs religion
In the school-room, on the same plane
as and even with greater emphasis
than the teaching OF the profans bran
ehss Of learning. Hence he must II he
can, havs . school which gives his
child this $40 fold advantage; school
namsly which grounds the child NOT

science, but also In the knowledge and |
practice Of the religion, which he
honestly believes 70 BE- The one thing
necessary for him that be may secure
eternal life.
On this ground the Cethollc church
has always urged tho parish school.

the life Of The boy and girl, as thsy
gradually approach mo years Of ma
turlty, u, during the lengthy period OF
tka classroom, the knowledge and
