Graymoor Friars in theii brown
habits and sandalled feet chanting

The new edifice doubles the
Inn's capacity as a temporary shel

less of race, creed, or color. The
Inn will now accommodate 200
men.
Funds tor its construction were
donated by the great and the small,
from Catholics, Protestants, and
Jews from all over the country.

completely furnished ny the Stan
dard Oil Company of New Jersey
In memory of Ralph W Gallagher,
chairman of the board of directors
who died last year.
Though the addition itself was
built by a New’ York construction
company, many' of the “Brothers
Christopher” (as these guests of
the friars are called) who wander
ed in from the highway beaten and
dispirited, helped to put the finish
ing touches or the building. One
man built all the tables and bench
es for the vast pastel-green dining
room. Another constructed the

VATICAN CITY (NC) A
publication ol interest and value
to workers in the Held of cateche
tics all over the world has just
been issued by the Vatican Publish
ing Office. It is the full report on
the International Catechetical Con
gress that was held in Rome dur
ing the Holy Year of 1950.
Bearing the Latin title “Acla
Congressus Catechistici Interna
tionalis MCML,” the volume con
tains the complete proceedings.
The addresses given by experts in
the catechetical lield from various
countries are printed in the lang
uage in which they were deliver
ed. also the comments and dis-
cussions.
According to the Sacred Congre
gation of the Council, the docu
ment “offers a panoramic view of
the present state of religious in
struction in the world, a rich col
lection of teaching experiences in
the field of catechetical instruc
tion. a broad program of (he apos
tolate: a rich harvest worthy of be
ing illustrated in the catechetical
reviews, in diocesan bulletins, in
books on pedagogy and religious
instruction.”
Another Vatican publication re
ceiving wide attention is the two
volume historical and photographic
record of the 1950 Holy Year. All
important documents, addresses
and records are included, some in
Latin, most in the Italian lang
uage.
The volumes are richly illustra
ted and give a lull picture of the
Holy Year events: from great cere
monies to the arrival of humble
pilgrims. It is widely held to be
a disadvantage that the text is
mainly in the Italian language. On
the other hand, however, the num
erous photographs are of an ex
cellent quality and eloquently tell
an inspiring story of their own that
needs no language.

Nun Teachers
Pose Problem
For State Bd.
BOISE Ida. (NC) Alton B.
Jones, Idaho's Superintendent of
Public Instruction, declared here
that the State Board of Education
hopes for an amicable solution to
1he question whether nuns in re
ligious garb can legally teach in
the State's public schools.
A school superintendent in
Grangeville. Ida., has asked the
Idaho attorney general for a rul
ing on the question. While he
commented favorably on the seven
Benedictine Sisters at schools in
the Grangeville area, and said he
would not press a complaint
against them, the superintendent
said he wanted the legal position
clarified. He noted that most resi
dents in the areas involved are
Catholics and want the nuns kept
on as teachers.
Mr. Jones, in commenting on the
case, said that he and J. L. McCar
thy of Orofino. State board mem
ber for the district involved, plan
to visit the schools next fall. He
said he and Mr. McCarthy were ap
pointed by the board to a special
committee to look into the matter,
but that it was felt it would be
best to wait until classes resum
ed in the fall before making the
visit.
There were indications that if
the Sisters are rehired, they might
be asked to quit teaching after the
new semester begins.
