OF the thirteen pupils. who were ex-
cused from the public school twice a
week last year to attend German cate
chism classes. three passed In school:
FIVE passed on condition and five failed
completely. Two pupils. sixteen years OF
age. quit school entirely, being unable to
do the work of both schools and one OF
these pupils was only in the seventh
grade. The three who passed just made
their grade. receiving the poorest marks
passed on condition one pupil is doing
passing work at present. the rest seem
to be unable to keep UP with their class
mates, and this will necessitate demoting
them. Is IL fair to your girl or boy to
deprive them of the benefits Of an odu-
cation? or how much value Is religious
training II you haven't the education to
understand its teachings? Religion and
education ought to work together, and
not have oen work toward the destruc-
tim of the other. School lasts nine
months of the year, why can't the other
three months be used for religious in.
struction? he mind of your boy or girl
need to be active during the ten summer
months Of vacation. so cit them study
their catechism then, instead of reading
novels OF little value and then stuntini
their mental development by over worl
durign the school year. Think these facts
over and then decide whether or not you
are giving your boy or girl a square deal

more they wish to advise them to take
couple Of loads Of feather mattresses
several packages Of Aunt Jemina pan
cake flour and two or three loads Of WOOD
