Despite the spate of
recent criticism of Catho-
Lie higher education, Bis
hop Shehan of Bridgeport
was optimistic in his key
note address at the NCEA
convention two weeks ago. He
saw no reason for discourage
ment, in fact he said that il
the criticism were effectively
and imaginatively used, it
may prove a blessing in dis
guise by attracting larger fl
nancial contributions to Catho-
lie colleges.
1t is interesting to turn our
attention for a moment from
Catholic colleges to Protes-
tant colleges. They have their
problems too.
As far as financing their
higher education, the Protes-
tants are in the same boat as
ourselves. Or rather, their
boat Is leakier than ours. For
the fact is that Protestant col
leges are decreasing in num-
Der while Catholic colleges
are increasing.
In an article in the Christ

Protestant higher education.

can colleges are finding it
hard to get money to pay good

According to MIR. Noble, the
Protestant colleges have a
tough financial problem. He
admits that Protestants have
increased their contributions
to their colleges in recent
years, but for more is needed

that Methodists raise $4,000,

compared to the State of Cali

to one single state college. He
says that Protestant efforts
are only "puny beginnings to-
ward what will be needed If
Professionalism is to continue
to play a significant role in
American higher education in
the future"
The author shows how Catho-
lies, on the other hand, are
making great strides forward.

The mission of a wife is to
partake as totally as possible
in a husbands life. She must
help him to resist the tempta-
ton which menaces him to
forget his paternal duties. The
masterpiece of a real lady is
the man she has inspired to
be a good father. Her intelli-

the social class in which the
family will live; it is he who
sets the moral order which
will reign in a home. BY ac-

spring him onward, she helps
to make him a real father.
He is the authority in the
home because he Is primari-
ly the lover. Authority and
love can almost be Synony-

is love in action. To author is

can easily become cruel auth

Yes, love is synonym for
authority as submission Is a
synonym for filial devotion.
AS a wife surrenders to a hus-

of the home so a child must
be submissive If a father is

1859 than in l958-averaei cling about
seven pounds more a person, the
U. S. Department Of Agriculture
estimates. This year meat produc-
ton will be up about eight per cent
and polk will account for most of
the increase. Retail meat prices
will average somewhat lower than
last year because of lower prices
for the large supply of pork. Beef
prices are expected to average
about the same as last year
The prospects are that well eat
about 1873 pounds Of meat a person
this year. In spite Of the increased
supplies and lower prices Of pork
this year, we will still eat con-
siderably more beef than pork
