In discussing this problem

chemical industry, Pope Plus
XII referred to the various
influences which determine
the behaviour of the worker

Holiness remarked, that the
most outstanding of these is
an active interest in his task,
which engages the attention
of the man and gives him the
feeling of putting his person

developing them. The worker
then feels that he is using
not only his muscular power
but also his very soul, and
that his labor is recompensed,
first of all, by pride in the
work accomplished, W h
grows within him"

Incidentally besides the

students drop out of school

The Columbia chsplain's
conclusion is unquestionsbIy
correct. The religion Of the
Bible is to a large degree a
social religion. The Bible does
not ask men and women TO
be complacent about the So
ciety in which they live. The
ancient Jewish prophets
launched into violent con-
formations of fhe moral cor

that religion has q RESPONSE

The Chaplain of Col
umbia University, the
Rev. John M. Krumm,
published a very inter-
esting letter in The New
York Times august lst). He
began his letter with a refer
ence to. the controversy over
birth control devices and their
use in city hospitals. The con-
troversy arose when DR.. Nor
ris A. Jacobs, Commissioner
of Hospitals, ordered a Brook
Ign physician not TO fit a con-
traceptive device to a certain
Protestant patient. The con-
troyersy brought forth state
ments by the New York Arch
diocese, the Catholic Physi-
clans Guilds and several non
Catholic groups.
The Columbia Chaplain said
he believed in planned par.
enfhood" but that he was dis
furbed by Protestant leaders
who questioned the right of
Catholics TO exert influence
on public institutions in the
matter Of the use of contra.
eepfives.
On the contrary, he felt
that both Protestants and
Catholics must try to exert in
fluence whenever they think
q public hospital or other in
stitution is meddling with a
fundamental moral principle.
He said that Protestants, as
q matter of fact. do try to
exert influence when they
think an important moral is
sue is at stake. He CITES the
Protestant churches opp0si-
tion to ''bingo". They are not
content to forbid "bingo" TO
their own membership. They
use pressure to bring about a
legal ban on bingo for all
members of society.

Making Marriage Click
Need Family Life Courses
In High School Curriculum
By Msgr. Irving A. DeBlanc

A truly happy marri-
age, it is said, is one in
which a woman gives the
best years of her life TO
the man who has made
them the best.
Happiness in marriage, OF
course, does not Just happen.
The Family Life Bureau of
the National Catholic We'll
fare Conference has recently
awarded prizes TO three of the
outstanding Catholic high
schools Of the country which
have developed the best FAM
lily education courses.
This is the first time this
award was given. The reason
II is given now is because the
need for better family life
courses in our Catholic high
schools is so urgent.
In a recent study conduct
ed by the Family Life Bureau
only five per cent Of those
responding had a well struc-
tured course. There is an ele-
ment OF crisis now that only
because OF a continued ratio
Of only one divorce for every
four marriages that take
place, but because approx
mately 30 per cent of those
who marry, especially girls,
are not going to college. Nine
out of ten Americans do
marry.
Today half OF the American
girls are already married
before they reach their 21st
birthday and half of the men
before they are %. Whether
we approve it or not, many
young people start dating
when they are IL to Is years
old.
Their dating is by pairs
rather than by groups and
there is little adult super
vision. Complete free choice
in marrying is one of the re-
suits and ii is growing.

rying at earlier ages than at
any time during the past 70
years. An added concern is
that all research on age at
marriage has found a higher
divorce rate and a lower hap
piness rate in teenage mar
riases than Ut any other age
level.
Only 30 years ago. youth
themselves were asking for
particular help: the male stu
dents of one of our leading
universities went to the pres
ident of the university and
asked if it would be possible
for them to have a course on
preparation for marriage. The
president listened to their re-
port, asked them to outline
what they would like to have
taught and later secured a pro-
fessor for the course.
This request by students
and parents was repeated
throughout the country again
and again. This has happen
ed not only on a university
but also on a high school
level. often a parents advis-
DRY committee is set up TO
assist the establishment of the
course. Two or three chap
tiers on the sacramentality of
marriage, home economics,
and Four-H, though good, are
thoroughly inadequate.
The students need a course
which takes in more than the
fact that God instituted and
projects marriage. Much in
formation is needed on court

on culture, and 50 on. And
the principles involved are
especially important.

high schools mentioned above

iod every day during a whole
semester in the senior year.

fective but we hope that cour
