Catholic citizens have feared
the coming of Federal aid as g
prelude to Federal control. The
question of whether or moi
there ought to be Federal ai6
is a judgment to be based on
objective, economic facts con-
nected with the schools of the
country and consequently Cath
olic citizens should take a posi-
tion in accordance with the
facts.
AS on many questions there
is a division of Catholic con-
viction in this area. A great
many parents of parochial
school children would welcome
Federal aid as a necessary help
to them in a time of financial
strain. They do feel the double
burden of supporting two
school systems and are apt tt
inquire much more pointedly
now than heretofore why the
proponents Of Federal aid dc
not take into consideration
their needs. They point Out
that the classroom shortage ex-
lists as demonstrably in the pri-
vate school system as it does
in the public school system.

record. The Federal aid tt

These schools are established

Catholic citizens, by people Of
the same income group as thosC
living about the neighborine
public schools. Catholic schools
like public schools aim for 8
proper balance of character
building, scholarship and bodily
development and are founded
on the conviction that mora
training is an essential part oi
education. These schools art
no alien growth, but a sturdy
native plant. They were first
in the field of education ir
this country and are intimately
a part of its development
deeply intertwined with its ira
aditions and tied closely with
the aspirations of our people
Partnership Cited
They are integrally a part
of what is basically a dual Sys-
tenn. Public and private schools
form a necessary partnership
for the fruitful service of this
country. We are one people
and it is in our national in
terest that both systems make
their full contribution in the
service of our children. Any
other attitude would be ex-
tremely shortsighted and self
defeating.
Although the parochial
schools are not governmentally
sponsored and operated, they
perform a public function, sup
plying large numbers of chill
dren with an education accept
ed by the State as fulfilling its
requirements Of compulsory ed
ucation and meeting its specific
standards.
In meeting these standards
the parochial schools teach
that true patriotism cannot ex-
iSt in theory alone. 1t must
be put into practice in the per-
formance of the duties of citi-
zenship. These duties include
not only the virtues Of obedi-
-ence, sacrifice, and brotherly
love, but those particular duties
which arise from the RESPONSE
bilities Of democratic self-gov-
ernment.
