High School Cadet Corps
Favored Over ROTC
T,o tho Editor of The Star.

To the Editor Of The star:
It is apparent why l. M. who favors aban-
donment Of the High School Cadet Corps Tor
an ROTC unit. refuses to divulge his name.
His use of words is extremely clever-1ndeed.
excellent. But his pen is far more effective
than his brain. If I. M. was ever cadet,
which doubt, he must surely have been
poor one, for no cadet who ever put his heart
into his work could feel as he does.
The beauty of the cadet corps Is its leader
ship training In the armed forces (and the
affiliated ROTC units) the principal token
of leadership Is q set Of metal pins on the
shoulders These are earned through tech
nical knowledge and efficiency In handling
men. Yet upon close examination how many
military men really earn the devotion Of their
subordinates? Very few. would say. The
ROTC has not helped In the least 1t teaches
technical subjects which can be gained with
or without the uniform, and neglects the
real leadership problem.
Not so the cadet corps. There, from year
to year. men look forward to the time when
they will have a chance to work ,Dith men,
not on them. The outcome of a years work
for any number of men is dependent upon
them. They must make the time spent by
all worthwhile. If they know little about
handling men at the beginning, they soon
learn a great deal. The mistakes Of their
predecessors come to mind-a warning not
to do the same things, and new and better
ideas spring forth. In the ranks the good
and bad points OF the leader are perceived
and debated upon. The future leaders are
thus preparing themselves. Here Leadership
Is not backed up by guard house or any
of various means Of punishment. It is solely
dependent upon the presence or the develop
ment Of ability to handle men. An ROTC

9. How much water is needed to wash
clothes in washing machine?-F. g. D.
A. The conventional washing machines
hold from Is to 20 gallons when filled
rinsing, the quantity Of water required for
the washing is at least IS gallons.
Q. Why did the trumpeter swan almost
die out in this country?-J. s.
A. The Fish and Wildlife Service says that
the life habits Of the trumpeter made them
especially susceptible to the dangers Of civil
lization. The girds were disturbed on their
nests 80 frequently that their eggs would not
hatch, and the low swooping flight Of the
30 pound birds with their 10 foot wing
spread has always been an easy target to
hunters. Because Of the beauty and quality
Of the swans plumags. fashion created .
demand for their skins. Even though other
swans were also hunted, the trumpeter be-
cause Of its beauty was most eagerly sought
and with the approaching extinction Of the
bird the price per skin rose to $50 factor
which all but finished the species.
@. Please describe the musical instrument
known as q flfe.-M. L. B.
A. A fife is q small type Of side blown
flute. the body is usually conical. It has
six to eight finger holes and often several
keys. It's voice is shrill and high pitched.
The fife is now rarely used except with drums
for military music.
Q. What did the swastika denote orig
inally?-A. A.
A. In its original ancient Asiatic setting
the swastika Is believed to have represented
the four points Of the compass and the
journey Of the sun.
O. How does . hawk fly upward without
Tapping its wings?-M. D. K.
A. The force which enables a hawk to
soar to great heights without Tapping its
wings is the same principle as that by which
kite is flown. The bird rides on an ascend
ing air current. good example of this
is q gull flying alongside ship.

About the Catholic Majority
And the Church-St Issue


To the Editor Of The Star:
In reply to Messrs. chauvenet, Barr and
Zoerb. would like to point out that whereas
the Catholic Church is at unity in regard to
faith and morals the Catholic Individual is
allowed to hold what political beliefs he
pieases-lnsofar as they do not conflict with
matters OF faith and morals. Some approve
union OF church and state where Cath
olics are in the majority. The most common
view. however is similar to that put forth by
Father G. II. Dunno. s.. j. in his pamphlet
RELIGION and American Democracy. quote
below.
THE late Very Rev. Franz K. wernz, g. J.,
10 recognised ~ one Of the outstanding
authorities on canon law. - . After pointing
out that IN this country, where church and
state are separated, the church has enjoyed
marvellous growth, he remarks: Wherefore
American Catholics preferring to rely upon
the freedom granted by law equally to all
and upon their efforts, have not the slightest
desire to substitute for these advantages that
protection by the state which In Europe
mas 30 often meant the oppression Of the
church.
1T should be noted that Father wernz
was not writing for the benefit Of non
Catholic readers. His comment appears in q
technical work addressed to Catholic special
lists in canon law.
'The attitude Of American Catholics Of
his day 1913, which he correctly describes
and implicitly approves. is still, think, tho
attitude Of the overwhelming majority
today. -"
1T would be . great tragedy for this
country, and for the world, II Americans.
Catholic or non-Catholic. were to lose sight
Of the inestimable blessings Of their heritage.
Could such q thing happen here? It could
because there are extremists In both, or In
all. camps. Probably the danger is remote.
But 1t must not be forgotten that eternal
vigilance is the price Of liberty. And the
watch must be kept not only over others,
but over ourselves.
Il think Catholics would do well constantly
to remind themselves that the more they
rely to use the words of Father Wernz,
upon the freedom granted by law equally
to all and upon their own efforts the better
on they and the church are. The more they
tend to rely upon the state to implement
their moral or dogmatic beliefs, the worse
of they are"
It might be added that the pamphlet
quoted has not just been dredged UP from
the pits Of obscurity. On the contrary, it
ran for several weeks in America,
national Catholic weekly, and is now on sale
at most Catholic bookstores.
