On August 8, 1858, the Cleveland
Plain Dealer published a letter written
to the editor by one of the paid petit
ton circulators to place the misnamed
fright to work" issue on the ballot.
The letter was entitled, "Disillusioned."
In his letter the college boy said,
"But the unexpected discovery we
made was the large number of persons
who were uniformed, misinformed,
disintereSted and %gullible."
For instance, several housewives
mentioned that lit doesn't affect me
50 I'm not Interested" A man said, n

equally preiudieed voter maintained
that II WORK for q living. ! wouldn't
sign that"
Perhaps it was we who were mis-
informed or too innocent and linexperi-
enced with people. Should we have *
pected the mass of the populace to be
sensible in their approach to something
as important as this is? Should we have
expected them to look at both sides
of the story, to study, to analyze and
draw logical conclusions?"
I'VE sincerely hope we are wrong
thar most people DO take an active
interest in their government. Right now
we're d~isiIIusioned."

This week marks the opening Of
Catholic primary and secondary schools
throughout the United States. Much has
been said about how III schools relieve
the educational burdens of III tax
supported school system.
If you are statistically minded it
could be pointed out that at the cost

schools, American parochial schools

hundred eighty-four million, two hun
dred and twenty-four thousand dollars
a year!
But all this is beside the point. The
entire reason for a Catholic school
system is to teach religion. Catholics
are so concerned about this important
matter that we would be willing to
settle for an inferior education in other
subjects in order to learn divine
truths.
That is why the Church imposes a
serious obligation upon parents to send
their children to a Catholic school, al

the permission of the Bishop.
Yes, in order to learn about our
holy Faith we would sacrifice compe-
tence in secular subjects. but-and
let's be very clear about this-nc such
sacrifice is required of us. Our educa-
ton is not inferior: Catholic teachers
and schools are the equal of others;
Catholic students are well equipped in
the usual studies. And in the fact that
our school system educates the soul
as well as the mind and body, u
students are better equipped for life.
We should thank God for our Cath
ole schools in the Diocese. We should
support them and cooperate with those
who staff them. We should admit
imperfections and constantly strive to
improve them. All Of us should pray
that we will produce what Plus XII
calls the ideal pupil: one who is "a
Joy to His spouse, the Church, and an
asset to society."-GAF.

We live in 4 democratic society and

When A Man Talks,

By Msgr. Irving A. DeBlanc

Il believe my husband

chatter and be gay. When he
talks to me at all, he may

This, men are quite different

The conviction that it is man.

he Is hurt, he must not show
it because that will be a sig
nal to his adversary to finish
him off.
We carefully breed a race
Of men who keep their emo
tons down. We admire the
strong, silent type and by
linking the two together we
actually equate them. In NOV
les when we see men express
their feelings strongly, as
when they embrace each 9TH
er or weep openly, we find 1t
unattractive. We almost think
it is laughable. Real men, we
may say to ourselves, do not
act like that.
When your husbands ST.
lence battles you, Agnes, it
may be that he is just con-
fused. The strange truth is
that when a man has to re-
treat into silence before his
wife, he experiences a sense
of deep disappointment. This
is, in fact, the last thing he
wants to do.
Men are ready enough to
bottle up their emotions In
the presence OF each other.
But every normal man longs
for u relationship 50 private
and so intimate that he may
let his guard down and re-
lease his pent.vp feelings
freely and safely. II Is his
dream that he can enter into
this kind Of intimacy and
trust with the woman he
loves. When he finds himself
unable TO do this, he Is deeply
disiIIvsioned.
What he really wants Is
some relief from the strict
and i~ncessant control of his
emotions which the culture
has imposed upon him. But
he can do little to bring this
about of his own accord. He
looks then to his wife who

1t is therefore the wife's
task to draw her husband out
of the abyss of silence In
which his deepest feelings
become entombed. II may not
be an easy task. 1t may re-
quire much patience, sympa-
thy, insight. Yet it is a task
for which every true woman
is by her feminine nature
well equipped. The woman
who can establish this rela-
tionEhip with her husband
truly wins his heart, for he
has confided to her the secret
of his innermost self, which
he has closely kept from all

What was the big news
In August? A newspaper
man would probably say
it was the meeting of
the UN General Assem-
bly, to discuss the Middle
East. However, big news Is not
always Of lasting Importance
and ! would venture to guess
that ten years from now, the
meeting of the Jehovsh's Wit
nesses in New York City will
prove to have had more per.
manent significance than the
UN meeting.
For ths Witnesses are an
example Of . trend that is be-
coming worldwide. Sect after
sect Is appearing these days
all with certain general
characteristics. They claim 10
be returning TO the Christian
ity Of fhe early days and their
theology Is fundamentals.
They oil seem to be agrees

oil stress the coming end OF
The world.
Henry P. Van Dusen, in an
article in Life June 9TH told
how this trend is beginning
to worry Protestants. In addi-
ton to the Jehovsh's Witness
o. there are groups calling
themselves "Adventists," "Pen-
tecostals," Holiness" and
they are sprouting in such
profusion and growing so fast
that they constitute a real
problem for the older Protest
ant denominations. AS a mat
ter of fact, the new sects are
often as harsh in their criti-
cism Of Protestant clergy as
of the Catholic hierarchy.
Now it seems to me that
they present a challenge to
us Catholics. We tend to dis

evangelical groups as passing

Wnen we READ that the oeV.

We need no new religion
but we do need a revitalizing
of the old religion. We don't
need any new doctrines but a
livelier faith in the old doc
trines. The Witnesses and
these other sects promise a
life-transforming experience
through Baptism. The Catho.
lie doctrine is that Baptism
makes a new man out of us
but I'm afraid most of us
think Of Baptism as a rather
mucous ceremony for babies
every Sunday afternoon at
four.
The Catholic Church stress
es devotion to the Holy Spir-
it, which seem to be the chief
devotion in these sects. But
the fact of the matter is that
devotion to the Holy Spirit
is not popular among Catho-
lies. It's almost a forgotten
devotion. The sects emphasize
fellowship among their men,
bers-as in the early Chris
tian Church. The Catholic
Church teaches fellowship but
still we find segregation prac-
ticed by certain Southern
Catholics and discrimination
by Catholics in the North.
So, next time you see a
Jehovah's Witness on a street

a crackpot. AS for myself, |
