that would strip this right
from parents"
THIS PHILOSOPHY is
truly alien to American ira
ditions," the Bishop declared.
cit attributes to the state the
exclusive role of educator SO
that it can inculcate a COM
mon doctrine and develop a
uniform mentality among the
%citizenry.
at would make the very ex-
istence of nongovernmental
schools divisive and unpatri-
otto. This philosophy ...
bears the temper of totalitar-
ianism and paves the way for
state despotism."
Bishop Shehan said the sup
porters of religious schools
have an obligation to support
public schools. However, he
added, their support of dual
school systems imposes on
them a heavy financial bur-
den and one which is steadily
increasing.
He emphasized that limita-
tions on rights must be rea-
sonable and must not trans
gresS the limits of toleration,"
and added:
"AS THE MANY DEMANDS
on financial resources in
crease, more and more peo-
pie, particularly those of less
er means whose rights need
special protection, have cause
to ask whether their religious
and educational freedom is
being restricted beyond the
limits of oleration and wheth-
er government is meeting its
obligation to help them to
exercise their right and lib
erty."
Bishop Shehan argued that
there is in the First Amend
ment to the Constitution "a
positive intention to further
religious liberty"
He cited various instances
of government action to aid
citizens in exercising their re-
ligiouS rights - among them
the building of military chap
els, the providing of chaplains
for the armed forces, and the
permission granted veterans
to make religious schools the
recipients of their educational
benefits.
THESE ARE POSITIVE
measures to facilitate the ex-
ercise of the right of relig-
ious freedom" he said. "Why
then in the field of primary
and secondary education must
the tradition of religious lib
erty be rejected?"
He sad this attitude "marks
a recurrence of the monOlithic
philosophy which threatened
religious and educational free
dom in the early part of this
century"
THE BISHOP SAID there
are many both inside and
outside government who SUBJ
scribe to this philosophy. He
warned that it is a school of
thought which "undermines
in a subtle way the basic right
of parents TO select a religious
education for their children"
Bishop Shehan told the Bar
Association members that the
duty of preserving a proper
Interpretation of the First
Amendment "rests squarely
on the legal profession"
He expressed the hope
shat God will shower on you
His inspirations and blessings
and that He will grant to you
the wisdom, the prudence and
courage to preserve the Spirit
of our Constitution and the
law of oIIr country"

both. Many nighttime acct

IN THE FACE of mounting
school costs, Bishop Shehan
said, 1--WE are forced to ask:
Does the extra educational
burden of those who choose
religious education constitute
an unreasonable limitation of
parental right and an uncon-
stltutional restriction of re-
Igious freedom?"
Bishop Shehan emphasized
that religious schools must
exist along with public schools
In order to preserve freedom
of education in Americas plur-
alistic society.
He suggested that the
growth Of a "monolithic" pub
lie school system might mean
an end to "the basic right Of
parents to select a religious
education for their children
Bishop Shehan, chairman Of
the Department of Education,

Conference, spoke (Aug. 28)

fered the Mass before a con-
gregation of 1,400 lawyers and
their wives in the National
Shrine of the Immaculate Con-
ception.
Bishop Shehan stressed in
his sermon that the continued
existence Of religious schools
is essential to the preserva-
ton of religious liberty in
Americas pluralistic society.
THE HISTORY of a stimuli
taneous development of both
religious and public schools
"leaves no doubt that the I'M
DERIVING American philosophy
fostered a pluralistic educa-
tional pattern in a pluralistic
society,"" Bishop Shehan said.
He continued: SIN later days
some attacked this concept
by suggesting that education
should be the prerogative of
government, that government
alone is entitled to the right
to form the younger genera
ton and that failure to at
tend a public school is a threat
to democratic unity"
WITHOUT GOING into the
motives of those making such
claims, we can see the goal
they espoused--a monolithic
school structure in a plural
istic society with the state
having the exclusive right to
educate"
Bishop Shehan said advo'
Gates of this position received
"a sharp rebuke" from a 1928
Supreme Court ruling pierce
VS.. Society of Sisters, which
declared unconstitutional an
Oregon law requiring all chill"
dren to attend public schools.
He said this ruling is inn
portant in that it affirmed
the basic prerogative of par

Collecting tops honors for
her role as an unrouged, un-
platinumed, fully clothed,
yet somehow sultry, sexy and
desirable 40-ish woman in

back to Europe with her the
gratitude of every Hollywood

The exciting thing about a
play like Arena Stages Ring
Round the Moon" is that it
is like watching a badminton
bird being kept in the air for
more than two hours without
touching the ground.
Not just being lobbed
across the net by players so
expert they could play this
sort of continuous point
lying in hammocks. On the
contrary, it calls for a full
complement of the games
strokes, blasting forehands
and half volleys alternating
with the softeSt of drop shots.
The gamut of the game, is
what we are trying. to say.
This demand of the play
is the product of the wit of
its authors. Jean Anouilh
and Christopher Fry. These
are airy writer's even in their
more serious moments. Ring
Round the Moon" is one of
their lightest works.
Real Comedy Relief
On the surface, this one
seems to be a play about
nothing. merely some anus
ingly varied humans trapped.
as humans so often deserve to
be. IL a delightfully."- daffy
situation of their own max
Mg. All this is a reflection
Of the Anouilh-Fry viewpoint
that if life is not actually a
divine comedy. it is still hi
lariously absurd.
There is something ra-
dainty healthful in this
attitude, especially in a
theater that seems obsessed
with the soul sickness of the
individual and his society.
