COLLEGE HERE
is DEDICATED

More than 900 persons attend
ing the cornerstone laying of the
new Dunbarton College building
yesterday heard the Rev. John K
Cartwright, pastor of Immaculate
Conception Church, warn that
many schools are losing sight Of
the true purpose Of education.
The task of education, Rev
Cartwright sai6, is to place the
mind and conduct Of men in the
proper relation to each other.
Secular schools are depending
too much on the scientific out
look" he said, and not on the spir-
itual. The former can do much,
but it cannot strengthen the char
acter, console grief or lead to per-
manent and vital progress, he said.
Catholic education still holds the
spiritual outlook foremost in edu.
cation, the Rev. Cartwright en-
phasized, adding:
"It insists that man himself
has not changed, in spite Of all
the accomplishments of science.
Our Catholic philosophy, the
heritage of our belief and faith,
was laid in that cornerstone TO-
day."
