CATHOLICS ALARMED

Berlin, June 25.-Catholic
newspapers are watching with
growing concern a movement to
introduce new system Of rell-
gious instruction in German
schools. Heretofore such instruc-
ton has been based on the old
and new testaments
The new plan, which was evol-
we'd by teachers Of Meiningen and
recently endorsed by the teachers
association Of Thuriniga, where
protestants are in the ma jority,
would do away with Bible stuDy.
Instead, children during their
first four years in school would
be instructed in German fairy
tales and myths, Robinson Crusoe
and the history Of the child Jesus.
In the last four years the instruc-
ton would have to do with the
worship Of God by ancient peo-
pies, the life and teachings Of
Jesus, and the worship Of God m
Germany. More and more, the
Thuringia teachers agreed, Ger
man myths and poetry should re-
place in the schools the old testa-
ment.
BY no strentch Of the ima-
gination comments German1a,
the organ Of the Center (Catho~
lic). party, "can this be called
religious instruction. It is thor
oughly in accord with the welt
known tendencies Of ardical teach
ers. Catholics must follow this
movement with close attention,
for it threatens to invade their
own schools. -
