morality among the great majority
of school educators.
Ii takes years of school life for
a child TO learn the principles of
democracy and social response

gain knowledge of religion in a

We have a highly interesting
pamphlet explaining in detail
what goes on in a Catholic school,
how Catholic schools benefit the

education of their children for

Some people will emPhatically say
no" They will contend that the
purpose of education is TO train
the mind d. to make good citizens
=. to equip children to use their
talents for useful living
And some of them will argue
that il is un-American, un-demo-
cratic and unnecessary for Catho-
lies TO maintain their own schools.
The public schools, they say, are
all we need.
But are they right? It's good
question for parents-both Cath
Ollie and non-C atholic-to think
about.
Religion, as Catholics see it, is
NOT a subjecr to be ser apart from
other fields of learning. On the
contrary, it is the very core and
center and hub of all human
knowledge. 1t is the governing
factor in our understanding and
appreciation of all other learning.
1t relates all of the knowledge we
acquire to the divine purposes for
which we were created.
Children cannot, of course, get
this kind of education in public
schools. There is a law against it,
and a ruling of the Supreme Court
has been interpreted by many
states as prohibiting public schools
from even excusing children for
outside classes in religious instruc-
tion.
Ii is for these reasons that your
Catholic friends and neighbors
willingly pay their share of the
cost of maintaining the public
schools :. and yer build Catholic
schools for their own children. 1t is
not due to clannishness on the part
of Catholics, to any dissatisfaction

LIFE IN

Almanac Tells When to Go Fishino
BY JAMES BlRcHElELD

Thanks to Arthur Jenkins and
the other boys at the Peoples
National Bank up at Leesburg,
we will know exactly when to
Igo fishing again this year.
And 1t will be a good thing to
know, too, since our pond will be
ready for fishing for the first
time.
Last year the Jenkins fishing
table didn't do us too much good,
since We couldn't fish in our own
pond. 1t did help some over at
Howard Gray's place. but there
is nothing like casting a line in
your own puddle.
This table is just one part of
the information that our bank
supplies. Naturally, they take
care OF your money for you, but
they are also ready with all sorts
OF handy hints and bits of in
formation, such as weather and
planting tables. astrology, home
helps and a daily planning
schedule. All this in their handy
little almanac.
But back to fishing: I find
that in June. the first month
we will be able to use the pond
we will have IA excellent fishing
days, six medium days and only
10 days when the fishing will be
bad.
None Of these fancy land ex-
pensive) fishing thermometers
and barometers for us. All we
have to do is flip a page to the
Jenkins fishing table, and we
can tell at glance whether to-
tget out rods or just to con-
tinue sitting in the shade.
