Points Out Need Of Religious Train
ing.-Revelations made by Harry E..
Lewis, District Attorney of Kings
county, New York, regarding the ig-
norance of religion which, ne declares,
he discovered among pupils of a Gel
tain public school in that city, are
believed to have given an impetus to
the movement to supply moral and re-
ligious instruction to the children of
the public schools of Greater New
York Only three-ffths of the pupils
of the school in which District Attor-
ney Lewis made test, he says, show
ed any knowledge of the Ten Com
mandments. Taking this disclosure
as text, District Attorney Lewis says
that at least one day in each week
the children should be in some relig.
ious school where they could obtain
the benefit of moral and religious
training. Sixty-six per cent of the vi
olators of the criminal or penal laws
of the state are youths between the
ages of 16 and Fl years, Mr.. Lewis
said. Their downfall is due to lack
Of popular and religious training.
School training and religious training
undoubtedly develop the character"

Newman Clubs Aims Defined.-To
meet many requests for information
regarding Catholic clubs in non-Cath-
Ollie universities, the Bureau of Educa-
ton, National Catholic Welfare Coun-
Gil, has just issued, in mimeograph
form, a paper by Professor A. l. du
Pont Coleman, president of the Fed
Grafton Of College Catholic Clubs, on
the aims and purposes of such organ
izations in non Catholic institutions.
There are nearly 100 Catholic clubs
in the universities, colleges and nor
NAL schools of the country. Many of
them are from Is to 20 years old. The
most flourishing are in large universe
ties like Harvard, Yale, Princeton,
Pennsylvania, Cornell, Columbia, Uni
versity of California, University of
Iowa, etc. Many of these organiza-
tions are known simply as "The Cath
Ollie Club" some bear the names of
such men as Brownson, Pasteur, and
other Catholic leaders of thought, but
the great majority show a disposition
to adopt the uniform name which, it is
felt, ought soon to be known all over
the United States as representing a
firm and definite type of chara cter-
the name of John Henry Cardinal
Newman, or as Newman Clubs.
