banishment of God at school, Then
the process of religious disintegration
sets in; the God who does not reign at
school, who has no relation to the in
tellectual life, nay, is ignominiously
thrust out of doors in the temple of
knowledge, is but half God, not the
all-powerful Creator and Judge who
holds us in the hollow of His hand.
Reverence for Him dies where He is
negatively regarded. When Christ and
His church are barred from the school
room, it is not a long stride to ban
ishing Christ and His church from the
heart. Christ said that we are to love
God with our whole heart, our whole
soul and our whole mind; and His
church insists that heart, soul and
mind belong to God, and she is satis-
fled with nothing less, for it is her
divine commission to bring men back
to God in heart, soul, and in mind
Education does not consist merely in
feeding the mind with knowledge, but
In forming the mind with the truth,
the will with good, and training all
the faculties to the fullness and COM
pleteness of the perfectly rounded
character. Religion in the schoolroom
is like sunlight to the plant; it warns,
1t nourishes, it illumintes. It is not
sufficient for the plant to gather the
elements which it takes from the soil
to assimilate into it's own being; it
must have the light and the air of
heaven, the vital principle of it's ener-
gy, without which it soon languishes
and dies. Religion should be the light
and the aroma of the schoolroom, to be
absorbed by the child's entire being.
1t should radiate into his soul through
the intellect, energize through his will,
fashion and form his faculties until
there is perfect balance of mind and
heart and will in that moral harmony
OF his nature, of which religion alone
possesses the gift.
Every Catholic parent is therefore
bound in conscience to see to it that
his children are rightly educated. If
they are loyal and true Catholics they
will not fail in the test of Christ: II
have brought up children and exalted
them; but they have despised me. The
OK knoweth his owner and the ass his
masters crib, but Israel hath not
known me and my people have not
understood"

anxious to be intelligent, worthy citi-
zens. For the general work of recon-
struction in citizenship for both the
native and the fOreign-born this pam-
phlet is published.
"The success of a democracy de-
pends on knowledge and moral char
acter. If all the people are not &C.
quatnted with their civic and social
responsibilities, they cannot act intel
hiently on the common affairs. The
right of suffrage means very little, if
the people do not have some knowl-
edge of the issues passed on at the
polls. The citizen, who does not pos
sess some knowledge of the working
Ing of our democratic institutions, may
easily become the prey of the dema-
gague or of persons who are anxious
to advance their own interests at the
expense of the people.
THE Catholic church has always
taught the fundamentals of citizen
ship. 1t has emphasized the social
rights and responsibilities of citizens.
On account of the great changes COM
ing over the world today, it is neces-
sary that the fundamentals of govern
ment be taught in more formal way.
There was no time when people need
Gu SOllQ instruction more than at
present, if they are to be protected
against extreme radicalism, and &C.
cure their rights.
Three Motives.
There are three motives which in
f1uence people in the fulfllment of
their civic duties, self-interest, fear of
punishment, and conscience or reli-
gion. In all teaching of civics it
should be kept in mind that religion
supplies the highest and the noblest
motives for the discharge of civic oh.
legations. Our democracy cannot long
endure unless all the people are ami.
mated by motives of religion in their
dealings with one another"

port of the principles laid down. It
Is devoted mainly to an exposition of
the system of government and the fun

zenship. But there are striking refer

In character, to some of the problems

WHAT DEMOCRACY MEANS

A very clear definition of the Catho-
lie attitude toward the fundamental
questions involved in the present tur-
bulence and unrest which has made
their appearance in the United States
as we'll as the world over, is given
by the National Catholic War Council
in its pamphlet, "The Fundamentals
of Citizenship" which has just been
issued.
The pamphlet is designed mainly to
formulate program of civic recon
structiOn, in which the council, as
usual, has taken the initiative, but
1t sets forth at the same time views,
which will undoubtedly provide basis
for sober and serious reflection on the
part of millions of people in the United
States. 1t presents the advantages and
rights of American citizenship. At the
same time it emphasizes the obliga-
tlons, and issues warning against
radicalism that finds expression in de-
mands for greater rights without con-
sideration of the greater responsible
ties they involve.
This is the introduction which may
be taken as fairly indicating the
Catholic viewpoint:
What Democracy Means.
Every nation in the world is yearn-
Ing for democracy. But democratic
government is not secured simply by
taking the name. AS it is the most
priceless heritage and the bestower
of great blessings, democracy demands
a knowledge, a sense of responsibility;
respect for human rights; personal
interest in the affairs of government.
1t means people willing to take upon
themselves the burden as we'll as the
privilege of government.
"As the history of the modern
world unfolds, we Americans are be-
coming more conscious and apprecia-
tive of the inheritance our fathers left
us. We see how well they built and
with what care we must safeguard the
building.
"Our country is the land of free
dom and of opportunity. The knowl.
edge of its constitution is necessary
for the American-born, if he is to be
a desirable citizen; and for the for
eign-born, if they, too, are to take up
the task of faithful citizenship. The
millions of foreign-born among us are

The Catholic church still further in
ststs that religion is so intermingled
with the ordinary studies of the school
that reference must be made to re-
ligion. When, for instance, the geog-
raphy Of Palestine is studied, must we
not mention that it is the home land
OF Christ, His Mother and the Apos-
ties? Then must there not be some
answer given to the child's natural
question: "WhO was Christi" If his
tory is studied, how can an attitude
toward the Catholic church be avoided
when the history of the world between
the first and sixteenth centuries is
really nothing more or less than
history of the Catholic church? If
science is studied has it no higher
purpose than to concoct medicines for
sick people or to devise cunning and
still more cunning ways of transport
Ing men and supplies from one part of
the country to another, or from one
life to another? Have the heavens
ceased to disclose the glory of God,
and is the earth no longer the work
of His hands. If the sand hills on the
shore Of Lake Michigan and the Chalk
hills on the coast of Great Britain
have been built up by the tireless en-
ergy Of wind and wave through long
ages, are not still the wind and waves
in Gods hand by whom are they con-
trolled? Unless all knowledge flows
toward God as the rivers and springs
flow toward the ocean, life must re-
main for all of us what through his
own fault it became for the murderer
of Macbeth; "a tale told by an idiot,
full of sound and fury, and signify
ing nothing"
Indifference Engendered.
When you instruct the mind apart
from God, you are laying the founda-
tions of religious Indifference. The
mind that has been taught without God
in its knowledge soon grows into the
habit of shutting out God from it's
mental horizon altogether. The mind
that has been developed under a sys-
tenn that excludes God and the things
of God from it's consideration, soon
logically learns to divorce God from
it's rational processes and to ignore
Him in all its intellectual life. God
at home and God at church will never
make up in the child's mind for the

IF THIN AND
NERVOUS, TRY
PHOSPHATE

A French scientist has discovered
an organic phosphate which should
be very effective remedy for weak
nerves, sleeplessness, thinness and
lack OF strength, energy and vigor.
It's substance is described by spe-
cialists as identical in composition
with certain vital elements naturally
found in brain and nerve cells and
one which when taken into the hui
man system is quickly converted into
healthy living tissue
This phosphate is already widely
known among druggists in this coun-
try as Bitro-P Phosphate, and some
physicians claim that through its use
strength, energy, vigor and nerve
force are frequently increased in two
weeks time
DR.. Frederick Kolle, editor Of New
York physicians Who's Who" says
it should be prescribed by every doc
tor and used in every hospital in the
United States. AS there are great
variety of so-called phosphates, those
who wish to test this substance
should be sure to get the genuine
Bitro-P Phosphate.
