Perhaps you have read that the
Bishops of Lafayette and New Orleans,
Louisiana, as well as Santa Fe, New
Mexico. have entered the news by re-
Stricting the participation of Catholic
girls in public bathing beauty contests.
We should like TO point out that this
is not a new thing. Every Bishop has the
right and duty to prohibit any activity
for his subjects which he deems a threat
TO faith or morals. And the individual
Bishop is the best judge of the condi-
tions that prevail in his locality because
he knows the customs and the reactions
of the people there.
Now few would object to the Selec-
ton of an attractive girl to reign as
queen of a festival or pageant. Nor do
we need to say that girls today have to
90 swimming dressed like the bellies
of the Gay Nineties.
But any honest person must admit
that posing in a bathing suit for a
public beauty contest is a different
thing entirely. The attention of the
Judges and spectators is focused eX-
clusiyely on the body and it has become
so commonplace 10 rdtle OIL the con-

Why Not Go To
Public Schools?
by FIR. HenIey

@. Although any American
should grant that we have .
right TO our own schools IL
there not q good argument for
making ourselves . part OF
the American public school
system with the teaching Of re-
iiuion carried on outside the
schools?
A. A great many Catholic
students dor various reasons)
donot attend parochial schools
and for them the released time
program and the Confraternity
OF Christian Doctrine and 9th
er religious instruction pro-
grams are designed. The Bish-
ops of the United States de-
clared in 1919: Our Catholic
schools are not established
and maintained with any
idea of holding our children
apart from the general body
and spirit of American citl-
xenship. They are simply the
concrete form in which We ex-
ercise our rights as free citl-
zens, IN conformity with the
dictates of conscience" They
also stated: Moral and relig-
ious training is most efflcac-
ious when it is joined with
instruction in other kinds of
knowledge and IAN edu-
cation that unites intellectual,
moral and religious elements
is the best training for clt1-
zenship ..." 1t is not tradition
al i'm America to have a state
monopoly on education and
total conformity IN this field
would be much more destruc-
tive of democracy than social
lied medicine etc. which seems
to be so commonly feared.
Catholic school children are
not isolated from social con-
facts with other children and
the competitive parochial
system serves as q healthy
check and balance in q free
society.
