Recognize Youth;
Shun Exploitation;
Saws State PTAer

Don't belittle the intelligence of
fathers and of young people, Mrs.
Donald Crockett, third vice presi-
dent and director of the Depart
ment of extension Of the Ohio
Congress of Parents and Teachers,
told the East Cleveland Parent
Teacher Association and guests at
a seminar conducted at Prospect
School, October 29th.
In response to question about
fathers night, Mrs. Crockett
stated that fathers are interested
in child welfare and parent edu-
cation, just as are mothers when
the subject matter is presented in
interesting fashion. Fathers well
come opportunities to serve as CO.
chairmen with their wives of PTA
committees. Confining fathers
participation to one or two meet
ings per year is purely urban
phenomenon. In rural areas and
small towns, all meetings are held
in the evening, and are, in sense,
fathers nights.
Junior and senior high pupils
have, much to contribute in panel
discussions. Young people benefit
from this adult participation, and
parents gain insight into young
peoples thinking. Career and col
lege nights where families sit to-
gether are valuable in senior high
units.
Mrs. Crockett stressed that the
exploitation of children is to be
avoided. Demonstrations of regu-
lar classroom procedure using
children are fine since they are
in line with PTA purposes, and
since they do not require extra
time on the part of the teacher.

Charges per walk are made against
the property owner who may settle
for cash payment within 80 days,
or have the sum placed on the tax
duplicate, in which instance, there
is an added 10 per cent charge. An,
average of 80 per cent of the
property owners settle their ac-

summer check-up added a second

Frank Fellows asked if this was

this instance, he said, it was the
quickest way to remendy the situa-
ton. Property owners pay the bill.

An Open Letter To
The Parents Of
Future -th Graders

Having just completed five
happy days at the River Road Y
Camp, we are wholeheartedly in
accord with the new program of
school camping for the sixth
graders which has been included
in the school curriculum this year.
Under the enthusiastic and
capable leadership of Thomas
Meinhardt, Mrs. Berneice Wisecup,
and the Caledonia teachers, Miss
Jean Collmer, Miss Lillian Finnila,
and Mrs. Ethel Seller, the children
enjoyed an enriching and reward
ing experience of living, learning,
and playing together.
They had the privilege of
sketching in the outdoor classes
conducted by Bruce Holderbaum,
art instructor from Shaw High
School, and daily group singing
and dancing at the Hoe Down ar
ranged by Miss Janis Conklin,
vocal music director of the ele-
mentary schools.
Tempting and well-balanced
meals were planned by the die
tician,, Mrs. Mae Barndt, an East
Clevelander; and their physical
health was protected by the eff
cient nurse, Mrs. Eleanor Gano, a
Shaw High School graduate.
We are happy to have had this
opportunity to participate in this
new venture, and hope that COM
ing generations of East Cleveland
youngsters will enjoy this same
experience.
Sincerely yours,
Caledonia Mothers

II. Il. N. News

Tailoring the PTA to the indi.
vidual community is of paramount
Importance, Mrs. Crockett con.
tinued. Annual buzz sessions and
or questionnaires will show what
the membership wants and ex-
poets of it's unit. PTA members
should be encouraged to choose
officers who will fill their needs.
1t must always be borne in mind
that progress is usually neces-
sarily slow.
Concerning money raising, Mrs.
Crockett emphasized that the
PTA is not money raising or
ganization. To obtain necessary
funds to send delegates to con-
ventions and conferences, the Ma
tional Congress advises but one
money making affair per year. 1t
behooves parents to work for bond
issues. etc. to provide public funds
for schools rather than to try OF
raise money directly.
PTA should avoid competing
with local merchants. All money
making should be of a type be-
fitting the organization, i.e., no
raffles, no gambling devices, and
no favoring of particular COM
mercial enterprises.
PTA should be especially care
full to comply with all tax laws.

to admit that we can have an ordered, whole
some world by living according to the Spirit,
and thus bringing the fruits ST. Paul names
charity, JOY peace, goodness, faith, chastity
the very blessings for which men yearn so
ardently
No. we cannot have peace and the other
fruits of the Spirit if we shape our lives ac-
cording to the desires of the flesh. "You can
not serve God and mammon," is the solemn,
explicit declaration of Our Lord, but there are
many, too many, who try to do that very thing.
They claim to love God but they obey the die
tates of the world they claim they are obeying
Gods laws, but they are actually evading them
so that they may do what the world tells them
is necessary for material success.
1--WE must do what those around us do" is
the excuse of those who think il is possible to
serve two masters; "we must be ruthless and
unscrupulous or else we will be passed by in the
game of life; we must cheat, or we will be
cheated" they say. They argue further: "H We
apply the Christian counsels of love and truth
and justice and charity we cannot attain wealth
and security; and this means we cannot be hap
py." That is, they are actually serving mammon
in their quest for happiness, and the only pay
ment mammon can give them is unhappiness
"Oh you of little faith!" exclaims Christ as
he speaks of those who thus ignore the things
of eternity because they are worried about what
they shall eat or what they shall wear. "Is
not the life a greater thing than the food and
the body than the clothing? Therefore do
not be anxious i. for your Father knows that
you need all these things. But seek first the
kingdom of God and His justice and all these
things shall be given to you beside"

Dusl-Horned Enemy
In its present family life
program, the Bureau is con-
fronted with a dual-horned en-
emy. First, the compartmental-
ization of religion, or secular
ism; secondly, the fact that
Catholics are such imitators, or
conformists.
The mere announcement
now of an engagement TO mar
ry finds couples soon plagued
with pamphlets and advertise
ments telling them how to frus-
trate the primary purpose of
their sacramental contract.
"Sacraments, after all, are not
to be taken too seriously. Like

serve an occasional purpose"

@. What is the difference
betlOeen Hinduism, Buddhism,
and ISlaaiSm?
A. Hinduism includes
number of sects (Vishnuism,
Shivaism etc. which follow
the worship of Brahma. This
pantheistic god, whose worship
includes worship of nature and
even of demons, is the deity
for more than two hundred
million people. This religious
group is nationalistic and is
noted for the caste system and
an involved social system.
Buddhism is an offshoot of the
first, being started by Bra
hmanistic prince named Bud
dha about 500 B.C. 1t denies
much of Brahmanism, includ-.
ing the caste system and has
as its goal Nirvana, eternal
unconscious repose. Islam is
another name for Mohamme-
danism, the religion founded

phasis laid upon paradise as a
place of sensuous delights and
upon conversion or destruction
or unbeliveres by force.
@. What is the meaning of
the term Mass of the Cdtech-
umenS"?
A. II is the first part of the
Mass from the prayers at the
foot of he altar to the Offer
tory. 1t is so called because
in the early Church the cat

We Also Educate

Several months ago the Diocesan School Of
flee produced little booklet called Vision"
The growth of the parochial schools during the
ten year period 1945-1955 was carefully docu-
mented.
1t told a remarkable story of wise planning,
tremendous sacrifice and community response
bility during years of unprecedented increases
in school enrollments. Hardly a secret document,
the booklet was proudly distributed as sum-
mary of achievement already evident in hun
dreds of new classrooms
A similar story was told in Columbus this
past week by the Metropolitan Committee of
100 It, too, was magnificent story of planned
achievement during the years 1945 to 1855
But it was the review of school growth and
accomplishment, presented with the familiar
omission of any reference to parochial schools,
that Catholics find difficult to understand.
The Catholic times. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1951-current, 1956-08-24

Granting that the Committee is primarily
concerned with the financing of new public
schools, its concern embraces all schools and
all children With its enrolment of 1920 chill
dren during the 19551956 school year, the
parochial schools embrace 20To of the total
school population in Columbus proper The en-
rollment has doubled since 1945.
Both in a proud glance at the past or an
anxious look at the future Columbus must log
ically recognize the achievement and planning
of the Catholic schools. Catholics with the bur-
den of financing their own schools in terms of
millions of dollars, have consistently supported
the recommendations of the Metropolitan Com
mittee. They are justifiably disturbed when the
bare minimum word of recognition-is omit
ted in review of school growth and effort in
their community
