EDUCATION CALLED
STATESMEN'S NEED
Bishop Shahan Says Mere
knowledge Won't Solve
World Problems
NOTED CATHOLICS HERE

Education no longer offers any
guarantee Of personal character. service
or fair play" Bishop Thomas j. Shn-
han. rector of the Catholic University
of America, told delegates at the first
general meeting of the Catholic Educa-
tional Association this morning.
The session was held in Alumnae Hall
of the Catholic Girls High School.
Bishop Shahan presided.
IF knowledge itself sufiiced,' he
said. "the statesmen of Europe would
not now be wandering from London to
Cannes. from Cannes to Genoa. and
from Genoa to The Hague.
American Catholics resent tic
charges that they are less devoted to
education than their non Catholic breth =
rcn, no matter how broad that educa
ton may be. Education Is more than
knowledge of facts. II Cmb"dies also
the habit of good life and great mora
facts are combined with all human
knowledge in a good education.
The need for libraries was empha =
sized by DR.. Claude Pernin, of Loyoia
University, Chicago, who said that thi,
need was greatest in the Catholic
schools. Father Pcrnin urged that
teachers arouse the curiosity Of stu
dents so that they would sock books
but said that before this could be done
more libraries had to be furnished.
"To inculcatc a moral code without
a religious basis is to build without a
foundation" the Rev. John T.. Food
superintendent Of Philadelphia parish
schools, declared to the delegates at thf
religious services formally opening the
convention. Cardinal Dough"rty Off
ciated at solemn pontitcnl mass ant
DR.. Flood delivered the sermon.
Non -scctarian schools. said Or
Flood, "were not established on the
theory that morality or sound philos-
ophy of life could be taught without n
religious basis. 1t was merely in Il
spirit of compromise that all forms OF
religion were to be excluded from the
day schools. 1t was hoped that the
Sunday school would supply that nec-
essary foundation for moral training.
"And even though the hope was not
realized. the fact that It was enter
tained shows the proponents Of the non
sectarian school recognized that il edu
cation is to be real preparation for
life 1t must include the teaching OF
morality
