Educator Urges
Schools To Foster
Catholic Reading

MHWAUKEE-Nc1 - A pro-
gram of directed reading in par
ochiaI schools to condition boys
and girls for reading of the Cath
olic Press as adults has been adj
vocated by 3 Fordham University
professor in . Catholic Press
Month article in The Catholic Jour-
nal.
The article, Educating Children
10 Read Catholic Periodicals" was
written by DR.. James A. Fitzgerald,
head of the Fordham University
elementary education division. He
wrote:
eff adults generally are to read
effectively in life outside the
school, they must be taught syste-
maticaIly to read in school. If adults
are to read high quality materials.
they must be taught as children to
search out, to locate, and to read
materials of worth.
"TF Catholic people are TO read
Catholic magazines and other
magazines OF high value, they
will do so more universally and
more effectively IL they are in
frcdueed 70 Catholic periodicals
newspapers and Wasszlnes--
while in school.
such a habit practiced in school
will carry over to adult reading
and will make life more worth liv-
ing. Directed reading of weekly
publications supplemented with
The less frequently published
periodicals for children achieves
these purposes" s."

phasized, "that the reading needs

country are not being satisfied"

The Society for the Propagation of

it will be better if readers make
their own arrangements, and sim

being offered.
| hope there will be hundreds
of Masses before our spiritual bou-

all of us, as we 60 along, will be

have promised, and will pray that

our movement.
would like to make a special ap-
peal to readers who are not very
pious, and above all to those who
are wrestling with Incidence, spir-
itual coldness and sin.
There is more joy in Heaven, you
know, over one sinner repenting,
than over 80 just. 1t would be a
noble gift to Cardinal Mindszenty
and the other Christian heroes if
some one who has been living a
self-indulgent life would make a
good confession and perhaps offer
novena Of Masses and Commun-
ions in their name.
These modern martyrs would ap-
preciate something like that more
than anything else. l should think.
After all, they are suffering not
only for their faith in God, but
also for human freedom-especiat-
ly for our liberty to practice the
Faith we sometimes neglect.
Finally, let us pray not only for
the prosecuted, but for the perse-
cutors. Let us bless those who re-
vile us; let us overcome evil with
good.

St. Augustine's
Great Influence
Noted by Sheed

To be mailed to another
mans mind" is, to say the
least, an unusual experience.
Frank Sheed, the translator of
Confessions of st. Angus
tine" last week gave his Crit
les Forum audience a glimpse
of the impressions he gained
while studying the noted Saints
writings.
According to Mr.. Sheed, there
are three qualities about Augustine
that make his work timely through
all ages: his vast powerful mind,
his use OF language c'You must
study Latin to read Confessions
He can't be translated'O and his
ability to translate experiences.
The conflict of two great pas
sions, corporal and intellectual.
made Confessions, Mr.. Sheed
pointed out. Augustine knew sin
and knew how to bring out the
horror of sin without sordid de-
tails.
Every sinner recognizes in st.
Augustine. brother" Mr.. Sheed
observed
Confessions" tells the story of
Augustine's struggle with his tre-
mendous passions and reveals the
work of God in the Saints soul.
The work points up the great les
son that Augustine gave the dark
ages-a lesson that led to the re.
birth of civilization.
Mr.. Sheed summarizes the les.
son as "a double truth about man;
the spirit is primary but the body
is sacred, too"
Mr.. Sheed pointed out that the
great champions of Christianit,
such as Emperor Charlemagne anc
Pope Gregory the Great studied
the writings of Augustine. He re
marked. Anyone doing anything
went TO Augustine. He influenced
the worlds great minds for q thou
sand years and viii continue

The Protestant churchman and
scholar in an interview with an
|NC.W.C. News Service reporter
here declared himself thoroughly
opposed to educational theorists
John Dewey was the outstanding
one-who would try to force any
reference to our basic theistic faith
out of the public schools"
DR.. Weigle came here to attend
the annual meeting of the division
of Christian education of the Ma
tional Council of the Churches of
Christ in the U.S.A. Since 1929, he
has been chairman of the commit
tee which prepared the Revised
Standard Version of the Bible

Or. WeigIe said he wanted TO
make II clear that he did not ae-
euss the public schools OF being

"They are not" he said. Il would
say the great majority of them do
in various ways reflect our faith
in God"
But. he said there are ''theor-
lists" who overemphasize the sep
aration of church and state until
they advocate what amounts to "a

We find the task odd. 1t seems
to us that we are trying to ex-
press, in statistics, something in
expressible.
How can figures on piece of pa
per give any real idea of the love
of God and love Of fellowmen that
move readers to send in their spir-
itual gifts?
What numeral, for instance, can
represent the contribution of one
wife and husband -- the latter a
sufferer from multiple sclerosis?
The wife writes that they are
offering for Cardinal Mindszenty,
each day, the hour between 3 and
4 o'clock in the morning.
Whatever that hour brings,
whether JOY or sorrow, they will
unite themselves. through the I'm.
maculate Heart of Mary, with "all
the prayers of all the peoples OF
the whole world at that time"
Another woman writes that she
will offer daily Mass and Commun'
ion for Cardinal Mindszenty "as
long as | live"
How can you classify such mu
nificent gifts?
You cannot. Nevertheless, We
must make some attempt to report
in human terminology. what is ul
timately measurable only by God.
