highly praised the practical work of

during an address at the annual meet
ing Of the society in Rauschers last

Il am getting tired of this scientific
system in charity" Archbishop Curley
said. II don't believe much in it. You
are not to attend to the needs of a
needy one unless you have an A. =.
degree; you are not to engage in mis-
istering assistance to those who need
it unless you have written a thesis on
this or that or have had two years
experience in such work before enter
