CATHOLIC
 SCHOOLS SYSTEM
Denver Lawyer Also Lauds
 Parents Of Children

St. Louis, Nov 1s.--The patriotism of Catholics who are willing to .'tax themselves twice" by sending their children to parochial schools, was praised by Arthur r. Mullen, an at- torney of Denver, in addressing last night the National Council of Cath ollie women on the relation of the Catholic schools to the fourteenth amendment. This amendment he said, offered the best protection against enemies of the parochial school.
 Archbishop Austin Bowling, of St. Paul, Minn., formerly of Providence, R. l., appealed to the gathering to bring about the defeat of the pro- posed education billto be introduced in congress, which would appropri- ate $1o0,oo0,ooO for the furtherance of public schools.
 Tt has all the vices of a political bill," Archbishop Bowling said. T do not question the sincerity of the author of the bill, but the foot of 1t indicates that no educator had any thing to do with the drafting of the measure"
 Activities of Catholics in rural dis tricts was discussed by, Rev. F. V. o'Hara, director of the rural life bureau of the council. Work done by Catholics for immigrants and the motion picture industry and its in- fluences upon the present generation were other subjects discussed.
 ''There is still considerable room for improvement in the motions pie ture field" declared Charles A. Me- Mahon, of Washington, D. C., though appreciable improvement has been made in the moral tone of the pictures since the advent of Will H. Hays. as president of the Mo- tion Picture Producers and Distribu- tors association. There has been a noticeable stabillzation of the in- dustry, on the business but dishon- est advertising and fragrant exploita- ton are yet to be eliminated"
