Describing the Institute as one

praised the science of statistics
as one which man uses “to know

those who do not make a proper
use of it makes itself felt.
“The temptation may be great.”
the Pope declared, "for those who
want to give support to a certain
thesis to dis.UmuIate the truth or
to alter damaging or accusing re
suits, either for material gains or
for pronagandistic purposes.”
Truth Needs Canscience
“Be on guard.” the Pope ex
horted. "Do not succumb the
trnmte'ion thus to discredit your
profession. To the love of truth,
which i the soul of scientific work,
you must add a conscience which
rejects any compromise, and which

from them.

Pope Lauds Science Of Statistics
But W arns Of Evils In Its Abuse
CASTELGANDOLFO, Italy (NO The science of sta
tistics has become of increasing value in human society. How
ever, it presents temptations for abuse which must be care
fully guarded against.
So declared His Holiness Pope Pius Xll at an audience in
his niH'i residence here to 8(H)
delegates attending the 28th ses

The delegates represented a score

“in our days.” he stated, “with
out ceasing in the study of nature,
we turn more toward the science of
man, toward that which concerns
human society. It is here that the
science of statistics adds its con
tribution. Thanks to its specialized
methods and its incessant striving
for perfection, it is able to face
up to the most varied of social hap
penings. discerning the elements
that form them, and establishing
their interrelated importance..”
Add Eloquence
“Statistics.” the Pope added,
"brings also elements to the study
of psychology. Notwithstanding the
abstractness which surrounds fig
ores, thev* can at times assume a
rare eloquence. They render a sit
uation tangible which otherwise
might escape the best observer.”
The Pope, who spoke in French,
spoke also of the application of the
science of statistics in the rapid
evolution which is taking place in
modern society.
“Today.” he said, “one can see
entire populations studying and
calling for important improve
ments in the conditions of their
material lives. The organisms
which are there to help them are
in need of information which will
guide the direction of the efforts
being made.”

Four Missionary Sisters, of the newly established Glen

The Sisters were among the first group of Glenmary Sis

Order was founded by the late Fa

priest, who also founded the Glen

promoting mission work through

Tito Refuted
ROME (NC) The cam
paign of bloody violence against
priests and bishops in Yugo
slavia doesn have the support
of the local population, Father
William Larkin, director of the
Duluth Diocesan Charities, said
on arrival here after a ten day
tour in Yugoslavia.
The priest's statement gave
the lie to Tito's propaganda that
recent attacks on the priests and
bishops were spontaneous dem
onstrations of anger by the local
population.
Larkin related that in largely
Catholic areas violence and van
dalism occur stealthily and at
night for fear of reprisal by the
people. He said that attacks he
witnessed on Father Pavel Poi
ze, rector of Dubrovnik Cathed
ral, were the work of "goon
squads", not local people.
Larkin went to Yugoslavia as
a member of a tour sponsored
by a tourist agency in Germany.
He wore lay clothes, but his
passport carried his picture in
clerical clothes.

atican Stops
Training Of
Priest-Workers
PARIS (Radio. NC) French
seminarians have been forbidden
by the Sacred Congregation of
Seminaries to take vacation jobs
for training as priest-workers.
His Eminence Giuseppe Cardinal
Pizzardo. Prefect of that Congrega
tion. said in a letter to the French
hierarchy that the prohibition had
been decided on only alter long
deliberation.
He praised the good will and in
tentions of those who had thought
such training necessary to bring
seminarians close to the working
masses. But, he added, several
years ot experience had shown that
vacation work does not attain that
goal and is harmful to seminarians.
The Cardinal directed French
Bishops to revoke any permission
already granted for such work. He
mentioned employment in fac
tories. ports, ships, hospitals “or
elsewhere.”
The Congregations new action
recalls the warnings issued last
week by Jules Cardinal Salcige,
Archbishop of Toulouse, and Msgr.
Giovanni Mont ini. Vatican Pro-Sec
retary of State, on the subject ol
priest-workers.
Meanwhile it has been reported
here that the Paris Mission has
been asked by the Holy See not
to recruit any more priest-workers.
The start of the school year at the
seminary of the Mission of France,
another priest-worker movement,
has been postponed.
It has also been reported that
Archbishop Paul Marella. Papal
Nuncio to France, has begun dis
cussion with French Bishops on
the problem of worker priests and
seminarians.
