24th Anniversary Noted
By Family Life Bureau
WASHINGTON (NC) The 24th year devoted to help
ing keep the U.S. Catholic family on a solid religious footing
is being rounded out by the Family Life Bureau of the Nation
al Catholic Welfare Conference here.
The Bureau was set up in 1931
in fulfillment of the encyclical of
Pope Pius XII, “Casti Conubii”
(Christian Marriage), in which a
strong plea was made for action
to restore marriage and the family
to full dignity.
At present, the Bureau s opera
tions center chiefly around efforts
to- encourage proper preparation
for marriage, to build strong and
well integrated family units, to
train the child the home, to in
crease family religious life, to car
ry out inspirational activities and

♦o work for better social benefits
tor the family.
The organization is probably
best known to the average Cath
olic for its work to increase the
religious life of the family, Father
Edgar Schmiedeler, O.S.B., direc
tor, said here.
‘‘This phase has always been
pre-eminent in our program of ac
tivities,” said the Benedictine
priest, who has been director since
the Bureau’s founding.
To develop religious life, the Bu
reau encourages the family to take
part as a group in religious activ
ities outside the home and to bring
religion into the home.
In activities outside the home,
the Bureau fosters movements for
family Communions, holy hours
and retreats.
The retreats ere particularly
successful. Father Schmiedeler
remarked. He cited the Arch
diocese of St. Paul, Minn., where
some 12,000 couples hove partici*
patod in retreats held week-ends
except in the summer months.
One week-end«each month is re
served for engaged couples.
Within the home, the organiza
tion encourages prayers in com
mon, enthronement of the Sacred
Heart, adaptation of the family life
to the liturgical year and family
celebrations of religious anniver
saries, such as baptism and mar
riage
Although requests for literature
are generally handled by the 107
diocesan directors around the na
tion, some pastors. Catholic organ
izations and individuals order di
rectly from the national office.
Popularity has prompted publi
cation of another booklet on the
subject, the priest said. This one,
to be added to the list by the end
of September, is written by Father
Bernard Stokes, O.F.M., and is en
titled "My House is a House of
Prayer.” It describes religious rit
uals that can be held in the priva
cy of the family.

Dr. Howard E. Wilson, secretary
of the Educational Policies Com
mission of the National Education
Association and the American As
sociation of School Administrators,
said:
“Contrary to the accusation
made by Cardinal McIntyre in a
speech in St. Paul, the National
Education Association does.not be
lieve in requiring all children to
go to public schools. By formal
resolution, passed in June. 1952,
‘the association respects and up
holds the rights of groups, includ
ing religious denominations, to
maintain their own schools, financ
ed by their supporters so long as
such meet the educational, health
and safety standards defined by
the state in which they are locat
ed.’
"The Cardinal's statement that
the National Education Associa
tion, the National Citizens Com
mission for the Public Schools
and the Educational Policies
Commission want 'to destroy the
nation's private and parochial
schools' is not true. By their
record these bodies demonstrate
their belief in free enterprise in
education. For my part I be
lieve that public and private
schools in America are both bet
ter because both exist."
“The Cardinal objects to a re
cent publication of the Education
al Policies Commission called
‘Public Education and the Future
of America.’ Nowhere in the vol
ume does it attack private and
parochial schools. The Cardinal
says that the book urges repeal of
the Oregon decision, but it actually
supports the decision. Referring to
it as a ‘momentous decision’, the
commission points out that most
people took it to mean that the
vast majority of American children
would continue to attend the pub
lic schools—as was then the case—
but that the way would always be
open for those who so desired to
attend private institutions’. With
that position the commission con
curs.

Public School Leaders
Deny Prelate’s Charges
Two leaders in the field of public education today denied that there exists a policy
to eliminate private education in this country in favor of public schools
They indicated that their remarks were prompted by an address which His Eminence
James Francis Cardinal McIntyre. Archbishop of Los Angeles, delivered to the convention of
the International Federation of athohc Alumnae in St. Paul. Minn., on Saturday. August 27.
tion, and itells of the significant
services rendered to America and
to democracy by public schools. To
say that because the authors praise
public education they are there
fore against private education is
like saying that because a man
likes a good steak he is against
fried chicken Following the Car
dinal’s line of reasoning, are ue
to assume tM5t every time he prais
es parochial education he is con
demning public education” That
hardly seems to be the position
of the large number of Catholics
who have contributed so much to
the development of the public
schools of America
Dr. Edgar Fuller, executive sec
retary of the Council of Chief State
School Officers, said “I don’t
know a single person in public ed
ucation who wants to abolish pri
vate schools.”
Dr. Fuller took issue with Car
dinal McIntyre on the pending bill
for Federal aid to school construc
tion. Under this bill, aid would be
based on the number of school-age
children in a state The Cardinal
called this formula a discrimina
tion against private schools Dr
Fuller said
“In the pending school construc
tion bill the population in each
state 5 to 17 years of age was chos­

until 1918 when he was named pro

turned to the Institute, then known
as the University ot Dayton, and
was president until 1932.
Accomplishments during his
terms as head of the institution
included opening the college of
engineering and the pre-rpedical
department. Military training was
introduced. The first summer ses
sions were held, several buildings
and the stadium were built.

en merely as a measure which was
objective and easily available.
“It is difficult to understand
Cardinal McIntyre s conten 11 o n
that this discriminates against edu
cation in private schools.
"If only tha children in public
school* were counted, the states
having a large proportion of pu
pils in private schools would be
discriminated against, since all
taxpayers support the public
schools. The parents of private
school pupils in these statas are
treated exactly the same as the
taxpayers who send their chil
dren to public schools or who
have no children at all.
“It is doubtful that the Federal
Constitution or the constitutions
of most of the states would allow
the use of public funds for the
construction of churrh schools No
doubt Congressional committees
recognize that fundamental chang
es in state and Federal Constitu
tions would be necessary to in
clude such schools.
“The laws at the present time
permit tax funds to be used in
church schools only for auxiliary
purposes in certain states, such
as school lunch, transportation of
pupils and textbooks These funds
are classified as current expenses
rather than as capital outlay.”
Reds Held to Be Using A isitors
As Propagandists for Moscow
FRIBOURG, Switzerland (NC) The arrival of a dele
gation of the German Lutheran Church in Moscow is part of a
calculated Soviet plan to persuade the Protestant churches of
the West that true religious freedom exists within the Rus
sian orbit.
This opinion was expressed here
by KIPA, Swiss Catholic news
agency, which said that “for some
time the relations between the
Protestant churches of the West
and the Orthodox Church of the
Soviet Union have become more
intense and the (Interchange of)
visits more frequent.”
"It Is necessary," KIPA warn
ed, "to observe that the visits
are regulated by those who foist
their own opinions on the visi
tors."
KIPA quoted Dr. Theodore Ad
ams of Richmond. Va president of
the Baptist World Alliance, who
went to Russia in August for a
two-weeks’ visit, as stating that he
had found there a re-flounshing of
true respect for religion.
It also quoted him as• stating
that the Soviets had authorized the
re-opening of 1.500 Catholic
churches and 800 Lutheran church
es.
Commenting on the latter state
ment. KIPA asked: “Has Dr. Ad
ams been able to ascertain the
truth of this, or does he repeat
what he has been told?”
(In a recent article written for
the N.C.W.C. NEWS SERVICE, Fa
ther George Bissonnette. A.A., who
served for two years as Catholic
chaplain to the foreign colony in
Moscow until he was expelled by
the Kremlin earlier this year, de
clared that Dr. Adams’ statement
was “utterly unrealistic.”
KIPA stressed that more than
open churches are necessary to
justify speaking of “true respect
for religion.” So far as Catholics
are concerned, it pointed out, a
genuine religious freedom in Rus
sia would imply the unhampered
administration of the Sacraments
and the freedom of the Church
there to keep in full and constant
communication with the Holy See
