ing which flows from belief.
Portable does brilliantly
what he sets out to do. For
that reason the translation
Of his article together with
the added photography is a
real treasure for Augustine
scholars. II makes the work
readily available. But if two
masters cannot be served
neither can a complex of au-
diences.
I AM CONVINCED that
this book will be Of little
profit to anyone who is not
already well acquainted with
much Of Augustine's writ
ing, or who is not aware of
the often bitter historical
controversies which have sur
rounded the Interpretation
of the works of the Bishop
of Hippo.

book cannot be thought of
either as an introduction to
Augustine or as q thorough
exposition of any given ques-
ton or problem.
Father Portalie's work is
basically a collection of con-
illusions; he does not present
detailed arguments.
THIS is NOT to say that
Father Portable offers no evil
dence for his interpretations.
On the contrary, there are six
ty-two pages of footnotes, all
of which only refer to speci-
fic passages in Augustine. but
none of which reproduces the
text itself. That fact alone SER
iously constructs the range Of
people for whom the work
could be useful or profitable.
But it is only a defect if the
original intention of the work
is overlooked.
The book is, after all, a
translation Of an article ap-
pearing in the Dicsicnnsire
de TheoIogie Catalogue. AS
such it had a doctrinal pur-
pose which was to disengage
claims and interpretations of
Augustine from the historical
Catholic view.
the in
tended appeal of this work
is to sophisticated and schol-
arly theologians rather than
to the faithful seeking either
the inspiration of spiritual
reading or that understand

SHE LEFT HIM a son whose
talent was a source of awe
to me. And who but Thou
could be the worker of such
marvels
Is it really possible without
understanding these events in
Augustine's life to be caught
up in the spirit which cried:
How greatly did | weep in
Thy hymns and canticles,
deeply moved by the voices of
Thy sWeet-speaking Church?
UNFORTUNATELY Flood
does not give us this picture
OF Augustine. Instead one is
left with a quite different
impression-one of a wooden
puritan marching to his pre-
destined place in the hagi-
ography.
The book is not altogeth-
er without merit. There are a
number of interesting and
seldom seen passages in the
last half of the book on a va
riety of topics which Angus
tine dealt with as Bishop Of
Hippo.
BUT TAKEN as a whole
this volume will be of little
interest to the scholar. If it
only did reveal the heart and
and mind of Augustine, it
could be recommended to ev-
eryone as an important work.
AS it stands, one can only
regret that the book does not
fulfill the promise of the title
page.

Let me approach the mat
ter this way:
There is only one right way
to teach any subject, and that
is to teach it according to its
own nature.
Geography, let us say,
must be taught geographical
ly; arithmetic automatically,
and so on.
That is the way secular"
subjects are taught in relig-
ious schools.
KNOW THIS personally.
l attended both public and re-
ligious schools - the former
longer than the latter.
The content and the meth
cd of teaching were much the
same-so much so that ! had
no difficulty in switching from
a public school to a religious
school, back to a public school
and then again to a religious
school.
Good pedagogy is good peda-
ogy, no matter what school
one attends.
| found this same situation
when, after II years in gener-
al journalism, | went into re-
ligiouS journalism.
Good religious journalism
observes the same journalistic
principles as good secular
journalism.
1T is NOT so with educa-
ton.
Arithmetic must not be
taught religiously. If that is
tried, confusion is engender-
ed about both religion and
arithmetic.
Neither should arithmetic
be taught anti-religiously, as
/ suppose the communists try
to teach it.
What, then, is the role of
religion in education?
First, religion is a field of
knowledge. 1t is part of learn
ing. No cultivated person
should be without a firm
grasp of it.
Second, religion is the
study-the science-Which en-
ables us to evaluate every
thing else. 1t integrates( illum-
ines and balances the whole
curriculum, and the whole of
life.
LET US SEE whether this
can be put clearly.
That two plus two equal
four is a purely arithmetical
statement.
But when the thinking per-
son asks why two and two
make four, religion supplies
the ultimate answer.
The ultimate answer is
this: the arithmetical state
ment that two and two are
four is simply a recognition
of the order and stability
existing in nature-a stability
and order decreed and sus-
tanned by divine wisdom, pow
er and providence.
In other words, the ques-
ton "why do two and two
make four" is ultimately
theological.
HOWEVER, THE ROLE Of
religion in education is much
broader and deeper that that.
To take a striking instance:
sociology can tell us how
many human beings habitual-
ly kill and eat other human
beings.
But sociology cannot tell us
