vary. In some States nuns are
obliged to meet the same require
ments as are demanded of teachers
in the public schools. Their fitness
is usually determined not by exam
nation but by official transcripts OF
the courses they have followed in
colleges or universities. Where the
State does not demand this certifica-
ton there is usually a Diocesan
Board of Education, or at least a
diocesan superintendent of schools,
who passes upon the qualifications
of the nuns teaching in the diocesan
system.

Truman Sends YuIe GREETING
To Armed Forces for Nation

at last to Christmas of peace.
In battle areas strung across the
world, Americans and their Allies
have battered implacable enemies
into unconditional surrender. Be-
cause of this magnificent accom-

Our task continues as we make

lands of our conquered enemies.
Through your continued devotion
to duty you are helping to insure

cost will truly bring Gods peace to
weary world and some solace to
the Nations bereaved.
Il send my warmest greetings
both to the men and women still
in uniform and to those who have

to well-deserved reunion with their
families. My gratitude to all of
you is immeasurable. You have
preserved the spirit of Christmas
for our once-more peaceful land"
