The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-01-04

the Commissions detectives of eX-
tending and deepening the teach
ing Of citizenship In the Catholic
schools Of the United States.
With remarkable unanimity the
leaders stressed the need Of educa-
ton in citizenship among all groups
in the nation. "There never was a
time In the history Of this country
declared Daniel ]. Tobin, who has
long been active in the American
Federation Of Labor, when Ameri-
can citizenship was more precious
than at the present time, and when
1t was more necessary to guard that
citizenship against the enemies Of
freedom, both religious and political,
who are endeavoring to undermine
that citizenship and freedom" With
the statement that "the position Of
the CIO, despite uItruthful and
unfair attacks, Is that Of preserving
the American system Of govern
ment," Philip Murray assured the
commission Of his intention Of full
est cooperation with Its aims and
Good Citizenship
The Commission on American Cit
izenship, now In process Of organ
ization, is the direct outgrowth Of
the instruction by the Catholic
archbishops and bishops Of the
United States to the Catholic Uni
versity to direct the work Of the
Catholic schools In the association
Of factual and moral essentials Of
good citizenship. When completed,
the commission will consist Of one
hundred members, Catholic and
non Catholic, representing various
phases Of American life: agriculture,
industry, labor, government, arts,
sciences, letters, education.
Through Its Executive Committee,
Monsignor Francis J. Haas, the Rev.
DR.. George johnson, and DR.. Robert
II. Connery, the commission Is al
ready at work on the preparation Of
courses Of study for Catholic schools
and colleges and on textbook ma
terials for Catholic elementary
schools. These materials in the So
cial studies will not only define the
philosophy Of American institutions,
especially In their likeness to basic
Catholic philosophy, but will also
present current social problems, the
labor problem among them, In the
light Of Catholic faith.
