 Pope Pilis's statements rccardinp the triple duty of family. stat. and church. and the relations of one to another in the matter of bringing up Children were particularly sig hIfcant in that they cited an Amer lcan supreme court decision to un-
 hold many of his points.
 Tt is not within the authority of The state to establish a uniform type of education," re;M one of
 these decisions, in the Oregon school
 cease of 1925. The Child is not a mere creature of the state: those
 who rear him have the right and duty to educate and prepare him for the tulfilmcnt of his duties" Priority in tn. right and duty of education the pope conceded to the family which is created by God for hlS own cndS and therefore has q priority as against civil society Nevertheless, he points out, the family is an imperfect body, since t lacks all the means of carving out its work.
