place in education up to the Uni
versity level was a major theme
of the Fourth Congress OF Social
Study Weeks held at Braga and
attended by numerous priests and
laymen.
In message conveying his bles-

Concordat between Portugal and
the Holy See had stipulated that
the Portuguese government base
education on Christian doctrine
and morals, and cognize the
Church's right to teach and con
duet its own schools.
DR.. Feliciano Ramos, professor
in the Braga Lyceum, told the
congress that it was necessary
that spiritual principles be recog-
nized also in technical education
