Catholic Schools
Handicapped By
States In India

RANCHI, India-(NC)- Catholic
education in India is still handicap
ped in several places by excessive
government interference in school
management.
This is the gist of the annual re-
port on Catholic education submit
ted 10 the Catholic Bishops Con-
ference of India by Bishop Oscar
Sevrin, S.J., of Raigarh-Ambika-
pur. Bishop Sevrin is director of
the Conferences Section on educa-
tion.
The Bishop points out that in
Madhya Pradesh and Bihar almost
all Christian schools are systemat-
ically denied recognition and none
tary grants by the state govern
ments. The Bishop says that Chris
tian schools in these states are ac-
cused of being ''anti-national and a
means of forcible conversion" and
special schools for children of the
aboriginal tribes are opened un-
der government auspices close to
Christian schools.
Bishop Sevrin states that the
general criticism that Christian
schools in India are providing
''Europeanized" education is mean
ingless because there is decided
preference among the Indian elite
for this type of education and mis-
sionaries are frequently requested
to open such schools.

Some form of toad can be

may not be a swift mode Of

Toads are far from handsome,

world has such lovely eyes. They
have been referred to as jewels.
There is a long list OF records
concerning the longevity OF
toads. From France. comes the
legend of toads being clothed in
green velvet living in terra-cotta
vases for 200 years; other Of
entombed toads surviving for

The other cue bid was MIR.
Champions four-club call. While
this was not a bid in a new suit,
it was still an unmistakable cue
bid, showing the ace of clubs.
This conclusion is based on
the simplest of reasoning. That
is, spades had been bid and
raised and both partners knew
the final contract would be in
that suit. After Mr.. Masters
three-heart bid, Mr.. Champion
could have gone back to three
spades.
Ore he could have bid four
spades If his hand warranted 1t.
What possible reason could he
have had for slipping back into
clubs? The only logical reason
was that he wanted to give addi-
tional information about his
hand.
After all, his opening bid may
have been made on a suit Of
five headed by the queen-or
even five to the nine spot. He
had already told his partner he
could support spades. Why not
use this undergone spot to tell
partner that he held the ace Of
clubs?
You can see how helpful the
four-club call was to Mr.. Mas
tiers. He now bid the slam with
great confidence, knowing his
partners hand couldn't be some
thing like this:
AA874 0KQ2 1KJ &Q982
Mrs. Keen led the nine Of
clubs and dummyis ace won.
Mr.. Masters made his contract
in spite Of the unfavorable set
up in the diamond suit. At
trick two he ruffed a small
heart in his hand.
He led to the ace of spades
and ruffed another small heart.
He cashed two more clubs. Then
he led the king Of hearts from
dummy and instead of ruffing,
discarded the deuce Of dia-
lnonds.
This effectively end-played
Mrs. Keen. After taking the
ace of hearts she returned a
small diamond into Mr.. Masters
ace-queen. A heart return
would have been no better as it
could have been, ruffed in
dummy while Mr.. Masters dis
earded the queen of diamonds.
