Education Is
Precious Right.
Prelate SAYS

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(NC)
- Freedom of education is
one of this nations most pre-
cious rights, closely allied to
the freedoms of religion,
speech and assembly, Bishop
Lawrence j. Shehan of Bridge
port, Conn.,, said here at the
annual Red Mass.
Like all freedoms, the Bishop
told a congregation which included
Chief Justice Earl A. Warren of
the us. Supreme Court, freedom
of education can be hampered and
even destroyed by lack of JUS
tice. He declared:
Justice would seem to require
recognition of the public service
involved in all properly qualified
educational programs carried on
by private groups and voluntary as
sociations.
1t cannot be denied that the
State has a legitimate and neces-
sary concern with education, the
prelate told the congregation in
st. Matthew's Cathedral here.
"Yet II seems TO many of US
that The exclusive support by the
government of a state system Of
education of ever-inereasing cost
illness can in fhe long run SER
ioUsly hamper and ultimately de-
sfroy real freedom Of education"
he stated.
In some places today, the Bish-
op declared it seems that freedom
of education is already threatened.
This is so in the case of the man
of moderate or small means who
wants to give his child an educa-
tion which includes religious in
struction and makes this an in
tegral part of the course of studies.

The letter, which will become a
part of the record of hearings on
Senate Bill No. 5, pointed out that
most of the NCCW members, who
number eight million, are mothers
of school children, and said:
"We share your concern, Sen
ator, about the need for more
teachers, new buildings and equip
ment. We know how much these
items cost because we are paying
high taxes for public schools and
then we pay again to take care of
our parochial schools. We feel we
know good deal about the high
cost of modern education"
The letter pointed out that
Senate Bill No. forbids the
States TO use any federal money
for any kind OF nonpublic
school building regardless OF how
badly II may be needed or for
what service II may render in a
particular city or town. The let
Ter then asked these questions.
"We have noted that the bill au-
thorizes an appropriation not to
exceed $500-milIion a year 4.
Where may we find the evidence
to show that approximately $500
million are needed to help the
States meet their emergency build
ing needs? Frankly, we cannot es-
cape the impression that $500
million may be a round figure
chosen at random as a means to in
itiate a much larger program of
federal spending, perhaps much
larger than needed, for public
school buildings. Is this impression
correct?
IS. 5 would allocate funds to the
States on the basis of their total
school-age population, ages SIT.
This would mean that non-public
school children would be counted
in for the purpose of giving fed
eral money to the States but would
be counted out by the States when
they spend the funds for public
schools exclusively. This arrange
ment would permit States with
many children in nonpublic schools

Though there have been several
minor difficulties which have al

ers as some mistakenly think.
The past year has seen an i'm.
provement in the national budget,
a decrease in the national debt, a
growth in savings and deposits, and
wider use of American aid.
The credit for all this goes first
to Premier SceIba who, because of
his strong and sincerely democrat
ic convictions, has been the man
of the hour. He has succeeded in
composing the differences that
have cropped up among the four
parties represented in the coalition

spirit of unity and personal re-
sponsibility.

otherwise UnvsabIe each year."
The President said that during
the current year some $4,000 new
classrooms are being built and that
the capital outlay for public school
construction will reach an all-time
high of $2-billion this year He said
over the last five years, there has
been more than $7-billion expend-
ed in new construction for 6,750,000
public school pupils but that dur
ing these years more than 5,500.000
additional pupils have enrolled in
the schools.
"Thus the rate of construction has
more than kept pace with mount
ing enrolment, the President
said. "But it has only slightly re-
duced the total classroom deficit.
"As a consequence, millions of
children still attend schools which
are unsafe or which permit learn
ing only part-time or under condi-
tions of serious over-crowding To
build satisfactory class-rooms for

Father Ellis, who is professor of

that nothing is to be gained by de-

As to where the controversy is
headed, he said.

benefit of all concerned. he added
"BUf il the matter is left in

Father Ellis said that of the five

Social Action Department is "the
one that has probably impinged
more than any other on the nation,

During World War |, the Sis
ters at ST. Vincent's were caring
for more than 900 children living
at the home. As late as 1945 the
crphanage cared for more than
rs youngsters.
Following the establishment Of
the Catholic Welfare Bureau, the
number of children cared for at
st. Vincent's was reduced. The fos-
ter. home plan was developed and
it was found, too, that in many
cases the parents or other relatives
of the children we're able to care
for them.
To meet the growing needs OF
the institution, additions to the
original building were constructed
on three separate occasions. The
first addition was completed in
1875. Later, in 1888 and in 1898,
the final dormitories and school
rooms were built. The auditorium.

of water was a serious problem.
When water was needed on the
