| Oppose Secular schools.-German
CathoIic,parents are called upon to offer
the most unfiinching opposition to the
so-called "lay" or secular schools, in a
manifesto whichS Cardinal Schultz,
Archbishop of Cologne, has just pub
| lished in the official gazette. The Co
/ logne Cardinal is supported by the
PrinceCardinaI of BresAu, and by the
other German Bishops, who are all OPP
posed to the scheme. The object OF
these secular schools, Cardinal
Schultz says, is to educate the chill
dren quite apart from the authority of
God. They will not teach belief in the
Divinity of Christ; they will not rec
i ognize Catholic dogma nor fidelity
to the Church, nor cultivate the habit
of prayer nor attendance at divine
worship. On all these, and other re-
ligious grounds, the Cardinal forbids
any Catholic in the Cologne diocese to
take any part in favoring the erection
of secular schools; nor may any par
ents withdraw their children from a
confessional school to enter them at a
II secular school.
j Manchester's Schools:@The results
}, of a century's growth Of Catholic
i education in Manchester, England
were strikingly brought to attention
in connection with a recent procession
in that city. A facsimile of the first
number OF the Manchester Guardian
was given recently with the centenary
| number of that paper. Among the con
tents of that first number was list
| of Manchesters day and Sunday
/ schools of a hundred years ago. From
: this it is learned that the Catholics
} of the city in 1921 possessed accom-
: mediation for 319 day-scholars and hac
E eight Sunday schools In which zoo
/ children were taught. These partic
| ulars were set down as for 'this
Town and the immediate Vicinity
: AS the exact extent of area thus in
) cluded is not now known, it is difficult
f to compare these figures with those oi
J today. But the diocese of Stafford as Q

elementary Catholic schools, instruct
