pear in Public Spectacls

Rome, Nov. 16 Rp-A fascist pro-
ject to hold another athletic meet
for girls and women next spring
has led Observatore Romano. the
newspaper that is used by the vati-
can to make its public announce
ments, to reiterate the pope's oppo-
sition to public athletic competition
by girls.
Opposition Aroused
The newspaper in an editorial in
timated that the proposal to hold
the games aroused considerable op-
position In a meeting Of the coun-
Gil of ministers on October 80. A
letter which Pope Plus sent Cardi-
nal Pompilj. vicar general of the
Roman diocese, last May was cited.
This letter said that the games were
contrary to the spirit of woman
hood and the competition was par
ticularly disagreed BILE since 1t came
in the month Of May which is dedi-
Gated to the blessed virgin. The pope
wrote that public performances by
women athletes were contrary to
sane pedagogy" and added:
Nobody can think that Christian
education excludes all that gives the
body agility. grace, health. true
good and force on the condition
that this is done in a fitting place
manner and kind. avoiding every
thing not agreeing with reserve and
modesty, which are the bulwark of
feminine virtue"
Listen to Pope
If the fascist state" the paper
commented. desires to be Catholic,
as 1t has many times proclaimed,
it should harken to the admonition
of the pontiff.'
The newspaper answered fascist
argument that such games are a
revival of old Roman customs by
remarking that Romans never ad-
mitted women to their stadia. arm
ed or unarmed. 1t added that if any
examples OF women's contests are
to be found in ancient times one
must go back to Greece and to the
most corrupt Of the Greek cities.
An archery contest has been sub
stituted for rifle shooting event
which caused opposition in 1928.
Despite this change the paper said
that the games will repeat the Of

Principal Vessels Speaks
THE schools, which are the hopes
of the Nations" was the subject of
the address made by Principal Harry
Vessels of the Nathan Hale Junior
High school. Mr.. Vessels contrasted
educational methods under various
civilizations. He said that in an
cient Athens training was for citi-
zenship but was limited to a certain
few, the rest merely receiving man
ral instruction from their parents.
In Germany before the World War,
boys We're taught to follow their
fathers trades. but the poor re-
ceived only the fundamentals. The
whole system controlled the very
thinking of the nation, he said. The
Pilgrims believed each should have
some voice in government. SO all
were taught to read and write. Now

said. and each has the right to eX-
press an opinion. SO education is ne
