Private Schools Attacked
ByNEA, Archbishop Says

saw a marked contrast between
private schools and the Eek
Itremely expensive" and "superla-
| lively elegant" tax-supported
schools. He concluded that the
Extravaganza of educational
buildings is not the solution for
our educational ills"
He said that when state ac-
crediting groups require non-tax
supported schools to conform to
the standards OF State schools in
material facilities. it amounts to
restraint of free enterprise.
The archbishop also was crit
Iical Of proposed Federal legisla-
ton to authorize grants to States
for school construction and
financing. He said private non
profit schools are entirely ex-
cluded.
Should this legislation pass,
he said, lit would be q distinct
discrimination against the class
of Americans who chose to select
private education rather than be
compelled to send their children
to state schools"

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Aug. ~ w
The National Education Asso.
citation and its affliliates are
seeking to drive private schools
out Of existence and to force al
children into state-controllec
schools, James Francis Cardina,
Mcintyre charged here today.
This constitutes a machina-
ton which is opposed to Ameri-
can freedom" the Archbishop oi
Los Angeles said in an address
prepared for delivery to the 20tf
annual convention Of the In.
ternational Federation Of Cath
Ollie Alumnae.
He said the trend to compul-
sorry education Of all children ir
state schools Is "a positive anc
declared intention Of the Ma.
tional Education Association an6
Its afnliates."
Attacks NEA Aims
He said the NEA was a leader
In q move to override the 1925
Oregon school decision in which
the United States Supreme Court
held that children could not be
compelled to attend public
schools only.
Compulsory education in State
and federal schools, the Catholic
leader said. violates the spirit
OF the Sherman antitrust laws
and can bring on evils found ir
Europe's totalitarian states.
Regimentation in education
quickly leads to tyranny"
Also contributing to "state
monopoly in education" the
archbishop said, are discrimina-
tory legislation, increasingly ex-
travagant accreditation demands
and activities of the National
Citizens Commission for Public
Schools.
He said the Sherman Anti
Trust Act was enacted In 1896
to safeguard freedom and tc
prevent combinations and mo-
nopolies which would create
power that would be an undue
restraint Of free trade or free
enterprise.
Fears Monopoly Trend
The cardinal said the trend
to state monopoly In education,
II realized, could bring about a
monopoly Of state-controlled
education that would constitute
q restraint Of liberty upon the
student and upon the parents OF
the student"
Cardinal Mcintyre said the
MEAS policy to eliminate pri-
vate schools" was expressed ir
the book, The Public School;
and the Future of America" pro.
duced by the NEA-sponsoreC
Educational Policies Commission
It's thesis is compulsory educa.
ton Of all children in State
schools" the archbishop said.
This phraseology is not the
wording Of their thesis" he con.
tinued. They expressed 1t more
compactly and more deceivingly
in the euphonious title Universal
Common Education This is Q
more elegant and misleading
title, but the meaning is the
same"
He charged that the book ig.
nores the "superlative excellence

ton In our country and its enor-
nous contribution to universal
knowledge

a built in radar which makes it
impossible for them to hit any
thing, unless, like US humans, they
get panicked.
remember when my mother
was living, a hawkmoth got into
the house one summer evening and
in spite of the fact that my mother
was lying in bed and unable to get
up and help in the battle, l tore
round the house with that darned
thing after me, quite nerveless,
and ended up in my mothers room
where she whopped it to death
with a magazine she had been
reading.
These last few years, since l
have been in Manteo, VEL say
we,-have had bats in the attic
literally, not figuratively. At first,
some three years ago it was just
an occasional one or so by the
noise but this year, June and the
beginning of July to be exact, they
seemingly invaded the place. They
were in the old attic above the
bedrooms in the front of the house
with the only entrance being
through the usual trap door in the
upper hall. Though l have braved
the kitchen attic and cleaned that
up-it is ventilated and has some
light-the other has no window
and about the only in and out,
other than that / mentioned, is the
hole the bats, presumably mummy
and daddy found. After standing
the. scuffles, squeaks and at times
bangs and whomps worse than /
have heard with rats in the walls
of an old brick house, l arose one
morning at the first light of dawn
when they had thoroughly aroused
me with their return and swearing
great oaths / descended to the
kitchen, much to the shock of Ros-
alene who wasn't used to seeing
me so awake at that hour, and
seized the bug spray which had
some pretty powerful stuff in it,
and marched back upstairs i did
MT mention that the landing deck
for Ye Bats was almost above my
bed,-a hole apparently where the
two walls of the house Joined or
rather don't. Regardless of the fact
that / was nearly suffocating my
self l held the nozzle of the spray
right against the wall where the
boards had sprung and capped a
trifle, it being quite an old house,
and poured spray into the walls,
the ceiling and all round the CHM
ney. There was quite a kerfuffle
and l threw up the west window
of the room and looked out to the
corner of the house, meanwhile

banging the wall, in time to see
about eighteen bats take off like
some of the latest jets leaving the
deck.
don't know how many remain
ed, but ! kept up the treatment
for about two weeks and lately
have heard nothing at least. A
further weeks spraying was nee
essary to get rid of my visitors,
the jiggers who dropped in for a
meal, the bats having apparently
left in such a hurry that they left
half their freight behind. Of
course they might have deserted
sinking ship so to speak, body
or two l may have gassed that

l haven't smelled any smells
though that can't be accounted for
so I'll cancel that thought out.
Returning to the hawkmoth,-or
at least the subject thereof. After
the bat incident little Rosallne
found one fluttering about the
kitchen apparently having made
it's escape down between the walls
and into small room that is not
yet wall boarded, having been part
of the original north porch, and
from there to the kitchen. She
very thoughtfully removed it and
gave it the last post before l got
down stairs again. Another night
l was peacefully reading in bed,
a large double bed, when from no
where great flying beetle, much
bigger than the usual large hard
shell, landed almost in my lap. 1t
was in truth approaching three
inches long and nasty things that
