Reorganize Schools in Accordance with

patrons of public schools in
Arkansas filed petitions last
week calling upon their school
board to reorg anize their
schools 'in accordance with

titions are the result of ac-
tivity of local branches of the
NAAGP under the guidance of
the Arkansas State Conference
in accord with the decisions
taken at the State Conference
of Branches, June Il, at Lit

While filing petitions primarily
because Of the pupils, the branch
es do not want it forgotten that
the NAAGP has made ii clear
that 1t expects teacher Indignation
also, that merit and fitness are
to be teacher criteria and not

The petitions state in parts:
We, the undersigned, are the
parents of children of school
age entitled to attend and at
tending the public elementary
and secondary schools under
your jurisdiction. Pursuant TO
state law, racially segregated
public schools are now being
maintained by You for children
of Negro parentage. As YOU

the delegates their highest ideal

In conclusion, Bishop Ready re-
called to the delegates that their

blessing, be an inspiration, and the

This question was answered here
by Father Gordon II. Albion, not
ed Biblical scholar, historian and
author, In a national radio address
in which he stressed that the inter
national organization made up of
161 non-Catholic churches in 48
countries can never achieve its
fundamental aim of Christian uni,
ty.
"oUr absence from Evanston is
not explained by disinferest in
the aims of Evanston ~ God for.
bid -- but by the fact that
the Catholic is convinced that
unity in Christ is reached only
by the authority of Christ" he
said.
THE Catholic Church could not
attend Evanston except to speak
with an authority which the
World Council does not even
claim for itself and which none
of its members would accept"

The intellectual and moral ma
turity necessary to be an effective
Catholic in the face of the de-
mands Of the present day comes
first before all else, by having
a real appreciation Of the Church
and Of what membership in the
Church means" the Bishop said.
I'VE hear much talk of new
groups and associations and
leagues to defend the dignity of
man or the sanctity of the home,
or to advance true culture and en-
lightenment, or to define Catholic
Action or to promote social JUS
tice, the Bishop continued, but
pointed out that a person who
thinks of any OF these things as
something apart from the Church
or as something that pious human
effort can bring to the Church.
or as benefits that some well-con-
ceiyed organization can besfow
on the Church, is person intellee-
tually immature"
The Bishop defined the intellec.
tual maturity of . Catholic as the
grasp Of the rare privilege that
is his, alone or in organized com
pany with other Catholics to mani
fest outwardly for the homer of
God and the blessing of mankind,
the fruits Of the spirit which is the
life of the Church"
Amy Catholic would be intel.

would be morally immature who
felt that "in view OF modern
enlightenment and scientific
handling of problems by himself
or his group. that he had q right
TO advise fhe Church or even die

Hence it is, the Bishop reason
ed, not only unintelligent, but
morally inept. to find the Church
stodgy, or old-fashioned, or need
full of suggestion from alert moders
who are organized TO give the old
Institution New Look"
The correct lines for the partici

by the Hierarchy of the United
States over three decades ago
