CHRISTIAN TRAINING NEEDED.

The first dominant reason for the
existence of the Catholic school sys-
tenn is that the thought, the teach
ing and the love and fear of God may
be set in the heart of the child, says
Archbishop Glennon. We hold, even
at the cost of being called old-fash-
Toned, that neither in ancient or mod
ern days, nor in ancient or modern
nations, nor in democracies or in mon
arches, is it possible to get along
without Almighty God. We must for
our government and for our lives seek
His sanction, acknowledge His power
and observe His laws. And these
things we shall not know and cannot
do unless we are taught and trained
therein.
1t is not, however, to sanction and
sustain human society and govern

EDUCATION IN NATURE.

Archbishop Spalding writs: To
run, to jump, to ride, to swim, to
skate, to sit in the shade of the trees
by flowing water, to watch reapers at
their work, to look on orchards bios
soming, to dream in the silence that
lies amid the hills, to feel the solemn
loneliness of. deep woods, to follow
cattle as they, crop the sweet-scented
clover, to learn to know, as one
knows a mothers face, every change
that comes over the heavens from the
dewy freshness of early dawn to the
restful calm of evening, from the
oVerpOWering mystery of starlit sky,
to the tender human look with which
the moon smiles upon the earth-all
this is education of a higher and al
together more real kind than it is
possible to receive within the walls of
a school; and lacking this, nothing
shall have power to develop the facul-
ties of the soul in symmetry and COM
pleteness.

nay a Divine code of morals, a def
mite set of religious principles which
are to regulate their lives. This code
of morals and principles is a check
upon the passions of the growing boy
and girl. And the pupils are at the
same time given in the Sacramento,
for whose worthy reception they are
prepared, the supernatural means to
fight successfully against their own
weakness and the wickedness and al
lurements of the world. They are
brought up in a school where the
teachings of Christ are the very foun-
dation of the whole educational edi-
fee, where His sacred image is en-
thronged, and where the catechism, a
book over which the greatest minds
have lovingly pondered, holds the
place of honor For it solves simply,
clearly, authoritatively, definitely and
correctly the vital questions which all
men must squarely face. The boy
and the girl who have thoroughly
conned it's lessons, though they know
little of raffia or of sloyd, and have
shouldered but scant baggage of
physiology or evolutionary science,
step we'll trained into the arena of
life. They carry with them the stuff
of which the Christian and the citi-
zen are made.
The school that neglects to prepare
it's pupils for the future, and sends
them forth unlessoned in their civic
responsibilities, privileges, and rights,
fails in one of the most important du-
ties. Here again the parochial school
teaches two things which are funda-
mental in the character of the true
citizen, the spirit of self-control
through discipline and respect for
legitimate authority. ......s
The religion taught in the parochial
school is essentially one of self-con-
quest. 1t is in order to inculcate that
lesson that the Cross is enthroned in
the place of honor in the classroom.
For in the midst of the inroads which
selfish ,pleasure-seeking. frivolity, love
of exciting amusement and Worldli-
ness are making in the hearts of the
young, only one barrier is strong
enough to, resist the rising tide. At
the foot of the Cross alone will the
turbid waves be broken and the de-
LUCE stayed,

CHRIST, THE CHRISTIAN CHlLD's
TEACHER. +.

The parochial school remembers
that the pupil is not purely man
with destiny to be fulfilled here, that
he is not only a citizen to be formed
to the responsibilities of civic life, but
that he has another home and loftier
end. He is candidate for eternity.
His life projects shadow into the
great beyond That life must be ex-
planned. The child's mysterious ma
ture and origin must be made clear.
It's relations to the author Of life must
be defined. Life must be explained
with all it's riddles and uncertainties.
The problems which later will haunt
the growing youth must even in his
tender years be outlined.
Go into the class where the Brother
and Sister are teaching Ask their
pupils whence the world around them
has come, sun and stars and flower
and fern. Ask them of the origin of
their soul, and of it's destiny. They
are not puzzled with doubts or mis-
giVings or left in error about these
all-absorbing questions. On the per-
picking problems of the immortality
Of the soul, it's spirituality, on life and
death, on sin and it's punishment, on
evil, on personal responsibility, on
their duties to themselves, to their
neighbor and to God, they have an an
swer. They have definite, rational,
