Money For Education

There have been some interesting
developments lately on the education
scene jf looked at under the aspect of
finance.
First, gifts totaling $40 million were
made in 1958-59 to 1872 Catholic col
leges and universities. This represented
a years increase of 40 per cent in total
voluntary support to these institutions.
THE STUDY THAT DISCLOSED
these facts reveals that Catholic high
er educational institutions have accel-
Grated their total voluntary support at
a faster pace during the past year than
other American colleges and uniyer-
sites.
Over ten million dollars of this
came from alumni and the rest from
foundations, corporations, parents and
other. non-alumni.
The point we would like to make is
this. These gifts came from private in
dividuals who alsoApay for our tax-sup-
ported school system and many of
whom, ALSO support non-tax-support.

The money involved in this is stag

NOW, I'M VIEW of the increasing
demands for more ALLEGATIONS to our
tax supported schools it seems those
who carry double burden here should
receive some consideration.

IN COMPARING st. Paul's
missionary work with that of
modern missionaries, the writ
er points to certain advant-
ages st. Paul enjoyed over
his 10th century successors.
In his day, the Gospel was not
burdened with a history of
ecclesiastical entanglements
with politics or with the
aridities of theologians (wasn't
Paul a theologian?) or the
scandals and terrors of re-
ligious wars.
/ would like to add that
Paul had this advantage-he

than he would find today. To-
days non-believing audience
is tougher than any St. Paul
met because the contemporary
unbeliever ~ does not be-

truth and (2) does not be-

does not see that there is
any moral obligation to ac-

dogmas are obstacles to the
free and i%nquiring mind.
HOW OFTEN WE hear that
today'S truth will be disprov-
ed in the laboratory tomor-
row. Persons with such a men,
tai attitude won't even listen
to an apostle who breaches

THE REPORT

THE MINORITY REPORT
or separate statement of
views" recently submitted by
Senator Goldwater and three
other minority members of
the Mcclellan Committee is
a timely case in point. In the
opinion of Senator Goldwater
and his colleagues, the i'm
proper activities exposed by
the Mcclellan Committee are
'the result of a few men ex-
ercising too much authority
over too many union mem
berS in the trade union move
ment." In other words, there
is too much ''rulership from
the top down rather than
from the bottom up.
The logical remedy for this
unfortunate situation, We are
told by the four Senators,
is democracy and more demo-
cracy in the labor movement.
"The democratic rights of in
dividual trade union mem
bers," the Goldwater report
concludes, must be increas-
ingly protected and promot-
ed. AS they attain greater
stature we believe most of
the evils and excuses expos
ed by our committee will be
eliminated by corrective meas
ures instigated by trade union
members themselves"
THERE IS SOMETHING to
be said for this point of view,
for in a minority of unions
democracy is admittedly be-
ing honored more in the
breach than in the observ-
ance. But to generalize from
these few examples and to
leave the impression that the
majority of union members
in the United States are be-
ing victimized by power-hun-
cry labor leaders strikes me
as being naive.
The fact is that in far too
many good, bad and indiffer-
ent unions the rank-and-file
are perfectly willing to ''let
George do it." This, it seems
to me, is the most serious
problem confronting the labor
movement at the present
time. And yet, strangely
enough, it isn't even mention
ed in the Goldwater report.
MANY AMERICANS who
have written or spoken about
this subject seem to be labor
ing under another false inn
preston, namely, that UNI
democratic practices are con-
fined more or less exclusively
to the labor movement and
that corporations, in contrast
to unions are all being con-
Quoted very democraticalIy.
AS a matter of fact, the prob
The Catholic times. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1951-current, 1960-05-06

that ALLEGATIONS to our unsupported
school system be based on real need
and not on a future guess as to how
many students we shall have in 1870
when we get different sets of figures
from different sources. This was done
at the April 7 meeting Of the Ohio State
House Conference on the Education Adj
visory Committee, where the two COM
putations differed by 100000 potential
students.
Then, as the DCCM resolution stated,
we would like to see federal aid to edu-
cation avoided if possible, and leave the
support and control of education on the
the local level of government.
AS FOR THE FEDERAL EDUcA-
TON bills now pending, we protest
against the inclusion of some six million
children, ages 5 to II, who attend in
dependent non-tax supported schools
who are counted IN the bill to oppro-
ton tax money, but then, by law, would
be counted OUT from benefits. We
should inform our congressman to kill
the bill or amend it so individual par
ents who excerise the constitutional
freedom to send their children to non
unsupported schools will receive some
compensation, at least indirectly.
In other words, We want the taX-sup.
ported schools to increase and improve,
but as was said at the National Catholic
Education Association convention on
April %; 1--WE simply ask for fairness
to non-tax-supported schools and urge
that inequities to these non-public
schools be eliminated by Congress.

ed an important address
which has not received near
ly as much study as it de-
serves.
He dealt with the difficult
ties that arise in some mar
riages. These can be problems
Of eugenics, health, economics
and the like.
For instance, because Of So
cial injustice, there are par
ents who must limit the num-
Der of children if they are
to prepare them adequately
for life.
There are cases where
pregnancy is seriously danger
Gus for the woman. And
sometimes a couple is unable
to bring forth a normal child.
POPE Plus said that when
these problems are real, and
not fa%nciful, couples may use
natural means to avoid child
birth either altogether, or for
periods of time.
Natural birth control has
come to be known by the odd
word rhythm because it is
based on the rhythm of the
wife's periods of fertility and
infertility.
BY sacrificing physical ex-
preston of their love for
each other at certain times,
a husband and wife can limit
conceptions, or even avoid
conception entirely.
It is moral to do so for
right and sufficient reasons.
And as Plus XII noted, the
area of sufficient reason is
not oppressively narrow, but
quite broad.
THERE HAS BEEN one
vexatious difficulty, however.

The magazine T ! m q

on Christian missionaries
entitled "More Than Con-
querors." The body of the

life, personality and career
of st. Paul and the cover
picture for the issue was a
grim-looking ST. Paul with
sword in hand.
THE ARTICLE TOOK the
work of st. Paul as a point of
departure for an extended
commentary on the work Of
Christian missionaries today.
II concluded that, in spite
Of the passage of centuries,

other person in Scripture ex.

Perhaps the reason is that
Paul is thought to have been
a rather unpleasant person,
a saint who would be mighty

Few people, it seems to
me, realize how beauti-
fully right, and how kind
and conSiderate, is the
teaching of the Catholic
Church on birth control.
Not only is it spiritually
sublime and morally noble;
it is also down-to-earth,
eminent thy reasonable, and
tenderly aware of the prob
lens of human beings.
The trouble is that it is
seldom fairly stated. It is
half-stated or misstated. That
is why / would like to re-
state it here.
Pope John, the other day,
voiced one aspect of it when
he counselled parents not to
be afraid "of the number of
your sons and daughters"
ON THE CONTRARY, he
said, husbands and wives
should ask God for children,
and rear them for the glory
Of their earthly fatherlands
and their fatherland in
Heaven.
That is inspiringly true;
but not for a moment would
Pope John want anybody to
imagine that in his chat with
pilgrims, he exhausted the
subject.
No; his remarks were for
people who are normally
healthy and strong, who can
expect normal children nor
mally delivered, and are able
to rear them.
But does the Church care
nothing about couples who
have special problems? The
Church cares about them very
much.

len of democracy IN corpora
tons is rarely, if ever, men,
toned in polite society.
In recent months, however,
a number of competent
scholars have begun to set
the record straight. Brief ex-
cerpts from the writings of
two of these men will suffice
for present purposes.
DR.. Richard EelIs of the
Columbia University School
of Business points out in a
new book entitled The Mean
ing of Modern Business that
whereas political leaders in
Washington d eman d more
democracy in labor unions
and urge legislative proposals
with teeth, to assure high
ethical standards for author
ity wielders within these pri-
vate sectors" comparable
proposals with respect to the
conduct of corporations
would arouse vigorous anita
gonism in most business cir
cleS."
AND YET WE ARE told by
another expert in the field of
corporate law-Professor Earl
Latham of Amherst College
that democracy" in most
corporations is of the make
believe variety. According to
DR.. Latham, 'It is only a
mockery of the representative
principle to say that the own
er-constituency (the equival-
ent Of the rank-and-file) elects
its representatives in the
board of directors. The con-
Stituency is either apathetic
or otherwise normally incap-
able of exercising its fran
chiSe."
MY PURPOSE I'M U o
ING from these two experts
is not to criticize American
corporations nor to exonerate
unde cratic unions, but SIM
ply to put the problem Of
democracy in better focus.
This is admittedly a very
serious problem, but we are
not likely to solve it so long
as we continue to think of
it, in partisan terms, as being
limited exclusively to the
labor movement or, in copg~
and-robber terms, as being a
contest between the good
guys and the "bad guys"
either in unions or in corpora
lions.
The time has come to study
it effectively as a problem
which is common to Big Labor
and Big Business and one
which would exist even If
there were no bad guys" in
either camp.

One can, however, quickly
visualize the many legal prob
lens which could arise from
artificial dissemination. We
can imagine a husband, for
instance, who might sue for
divorce from his wife on the
grounds of adultery when she
bore a child and he was able
to prove that he was sterile.
Also, a child born of such a
pregnancy might discover the
name of his real father and
later sue for a share of the
estate after the death of his
"proxy" father.
THE PROXY FATHER
might be able to sue the
mother for at least partial
custody of his child. Likewise,
a mother might sue the proxy
father for support Of their
child. Or again, according to
our civil lawssthat child might
not be legitimate and his
right to inherit might be in
question. Also, according to
our civil law, it may be neces-
sary for the husband to legal
ly adopt this child born to his
wife.
A physician who performed
the artificial dissemination or
who knew of it could not
honestly assist at the birth
of the child and write the
husbands name on the birth
certificate as the father of
