Msgr. Neighbor said he was "enthusiastic about the idea" of using his department as the agc,::ncy for increasing Catholic reading of the Bible in the United States. He added "however, this is a matter that would have to be decided by the bishops." The monsignor said establishment of such a unit in his department would require considerable study by the American hierarchy to determine its feasibility. He said Cardinal Willebrands "seemed most taken up with the idea. I must say that after seeing what is being done in other countries, I do agree that this is' a highly vital and necessary work."

Says Leaders·Hurt ' Student Movements' HONG KONG (NC) - Student leaders who want to change. the world are forgetting how important it is to stay solidly in touch with the world, and even with the other students in their ranks. A Hong Kong government official told an Asian Catholic student group meeting here that the many "isolated idealists" who are heading student organizationsall over the world to'day '. are a. real dang~r to their own groups. Sir Albert Rodrigues, of the Hong Kong Executive Council, made this point to 37 student leaders from 14 Far East nations attending a conference of the International Movement of Catholic StUdents.

private education, public education and religious education, taxes and tuition. But a lot of things have happened in the last 10 years, and the question isn't theoretical anymore. Mounting education 'c9sts, federal and state reluctance to fund private schools and changing neighborhood patterns have cooperated to bring new pressure on Catholic schools. Some of them are reacting by closing down. When Catholic schools do close down, the dosing creates problems for everybody concerned and even for some people who previously hadn't been concerned. Children are out of their accustomed schools. LOGal public schools face a sudden influx of unplanned-for students. And a

parish· or diocese is stuck with an unused and sometimes unusable school building. But more important is the loss -sometimes the total loss-of Catholic education for the students no longer able to go to Catholic schools. "After all,'? said Msgr. Russell Neighbor, director of the National Center for Religious Education-CCD (Confraternity of Christian Doctrine), "the whole purpose of Catholic schools from the beginning has been religious education and we must adjust to reaching these former Catholic school students in some new way." Planning this adjustment is listed as the second priority in the religious education department's June report to the U. S. Catholic Conference's education committee.

Cuban Prelates Say Work With Atheis'~s MADRID (NC)-Contemporary atheism is "a reality that we cannot ignore or judge in a simplistic manner," the bishops of communist-ruled Cuba have declared in a joint pastoral letter published here. Christians should not refuse to cooperate with a man simply because he does not believe in God, and cooperation between Christian and atheists could be very productive in areas such as industrial development and social justice, the eight bishops added.

"This is no time for us to mimic the polarization of white society. Only by unified action can we break the bonds that chain us. Only by unified action can we force America to become moral," he asserted. Young called for "leadership 'to meet and discuss an agenda for change." He said he hopes the total spectrum of black 01'ganizations "from the Black Panthers right up to the Black Baptists" would join with the league in a strategy of negotiation 'with white leaders to' accomplish the change.

First Month of New York Ease'd Abortion Law Brings Confusion NEW YORK (NC)-New York state's new unrestrictive abortion law appears to have created a tangle of ethical, medical and legal problems and pressures ofmajor proportions. During the first month (July) of the law, reaction to the legislation has ranged from confusion among Catholic nurses in nonCatholic hospitals over their part in pre-post-abortional ('are, to outrage hy abortion referral groups. Targets have been the backlog of cases in New. York City munidpal hospitals and high fees charged by doctors for private patients. The state's Catholi~ - bishops said July I, when the law went into effect, that it began "a tragic chapter" in the state's history and was "regressive." No Catholic hospitals in the state permit abortions. Hospital em'ployees and medical st,aff members are allowed by the State Hospital Code to refuse to participate in ahortional acts. Nurses' Problem Hut this has not solveJ problembs of the Catholic nurse or other person in a municipal or privately run hospital to work out the moral ifs, ands and buts of "direct" versus "indirect" cooperation in an abortional act. "We've had calls from great numbers of nurses, especially, asking what their obligation is to their consciences," said Thomas J. McLaughlin, director of health and hospitals of Catholic Charities of the New York archdiocese and a member of a guideline:> subcommittee of the

Unclear Statement Speaking personally, as a Catholic and as Ii nurse, Laurene O'Brien, assistant director of the association's legislative program, said many Catholic nurses were unclear as to what the bishops meant in their joint 'statement in a reference to respecting conscience of "employes who refuse to participate in abortions" in non-Catholic hospitals. An identical passage in the guidelines issued by both the Rockville Centre and Buffalo dioceses made it clear, she said, that caring for a patient be'fore or after was not' part of "an abortional act." But other dio-' ceses in the state have given no specific guidance to her knowledge. "I don't want the Catholic, Church hurt by misinterpretations," Miss O'Brinn said.

"We can get to 'work quickly." Work With People father McDonnell said Church officials should be approached for financial and moral support. But he said the 15 per cent recovery rate among drug addicts ,"is not encouraging enough for bishops and supt>riors to push programs." "I would challenge that the instincts of a committed person would not buy 15 per cent," Father Egan said. And Sister Mary Caritas, major superior of the Sisters of Providence from Holyoke Mass., agreed. "If it's only 15 per cent we're able to work with, fine, we'll take our chances with the 15 per cent." But the new ,superior, who took office this year, emphasized members of her community "want to be involved in a direct service way." Church-sponsored programs for drug addicts should be established, she S;iid, "but if it's going to be another in'stitution, my Sisters could care less. We wa,nt to work with people."

WASHINGTON (NC) - "You ask whether the Church is involved enough in helping to solve the drug problem," said the frail, gray-haired priest from New York City. "I question whether we are involved at all." Father Dan Egan, who founded the first "half-way heuse" for female addicts readjusting to community life, was one of 14 participants in a Midsummer Colloquium on Drug Rehabilitation sponsored by the U. S. Catholic Conference Department of Health Affairs. "Most of us are involved as individuals.,..-not because we are working with the Church but in spite of it," said Father Egan, referred to as "the junki~ priest."

The Miami archdiocese initiated and partially funded a half-way house for adolescent girls, a drug prevention center, and a methadone clinic. (Methadone is' a synthetic drug which. can be used as a substitute for heroine in treatment of addicts.) "It takes 12 years to get a building out of the federal hopper," said Father John McDon-

After more than 48 hours of confrontation with police, Javier Navarro, a former Franciscan, got permission from the city government for 614 families to remain on the land. "We hope to orgallizt' a primitive Christian community," declared Navarro. "We are going to produce what we consume:' he said.

Returning to Japan Sacred· Hearts Father Planning Renewal Of Mission Work in Orient "I f~e1 rather like a man who was· divorced from his wife, when' suddenly, on a chance meeting with her feels his love and fascination return and decides to start all over again." This was Fr. Albert Evans' reply when he was asked how he felt about returning _to the Japanese missions after an absence of nine' years. In 1961 Fr. Evan~, had not a care in the world. He was' fully occupied 'with his missionary work among the Japanese and until a routine physical examinatiun revealed a spot on his' lung, looked forward to a life's work as a Catholilc priest serving the Nipponese. The spot proved to be a malig· nancy and resulted in the removal of the left portion of Father's lung. His supervisors were advised to send him back to' America where he has spent these last nine "hesitant years." Studied at

War~ha'm

Born and brought up in Cleveland, Ohio, Fr. Evans became a member of the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary in 1942. After studies in Wareham and Washington, he was ordained a priest in 1948: His first assignment was to missionary work among the )apanese people., Thus ,it was that he spent the' next 13 years happily' engaged in the chore that from all indications seemed to be the manifest will of God for him. He quickly learned that man proposes but God disposes. Now he' feels eager to return to his former stamping grounds reconditioned and renewed and ready to have" another go at it." There will no doubt be some drastic changes in life in Japan as there ar~ everywhere else

but as Father. says "his fellow ,tl1issionarie's nave 'hurl~"in there' and are doing marvelous work." He hopes that 'they will be able to teach "even such an old dog some of the new tricks." Father explained that the missionary task in Japan is more

sophisticated because the challenge is greater. The educational standards are among the world's highest. They are a literate, aesthetic and eulturally adva)lced people. Some of the traditional rllission areas make none of the demands as far 'as method is concerned that confront -the religious worker in Japan. Father Evans has spent the last five years working in the Enthronement Apostolate in various parts of the United States. It is concerned with the sanctification of family life. "In returning to Japan," Fr. Evans says, "( will be in a society where the highest regard is placed on the integrity of the home, so I may have my field all cut out and waiting for me." Fr. Evans will be returning to Japan sometime in September of this year. In the meantime he is staying at Sacred Hearts Monastery, 3 Adams Street, Fairhaven.

Gentleman It is almost a definition of a gentleman to say he is one who never inflicts pain. -Newman

SISTER MARY DATIVA, O.S.F. "But most of the time we have no problems. Kids will be kids and they do have good appetites. They'll clean. their plates in almost nothing flat and be looking for seconds before you know it.." Sister Mary Dativa's domain includes a pantry and kitchen where she prepares the meals and a second kitchen where the pots, pans and dishes are washed. There is a storeroom for can· ned goods sufficient to feed a battalion ("So many things come in cans these days," she says with a smile). , Of interest, too, is a big walkin freezer where the milk, eggs and other perishables are kept; this is a good spot to "visit" on a hot and humid day. Triple Boiler Needed If there's one thing Sister· Mary Davita needs in her spotless kitchen it's a triple boiler. "Oh yes, we certainly could use one," she says as Sister Mary Cherubina nods in agreemer::rt. "We would be able to cook our meats, potatoes and vegetables in sections, at the same time, instead of doing them separately, as we do now. "Maybe some day we'll have one," she says hopefully.

Bishop Says Church To Help' Poor'

Sister Mary Davita was born in Lebanon, Pa., in 1911 and moved to Ohio in 1924·. She attended St. Augustine Elementary and Junior. H'igh until 1926. Then· she 'entered Our Lady of the Angels Convent in Glen Riddle, Pa., in 1926. Sister made her final vows in 1930 and shortly thereafter came to St. Mary's Hom·e. Tower of Strength She has been a tower of strength at the home since and has played an integral part in the care of its deprived and neglected children. Some probably never knew what three square meals a day .were before they came to St. Mary's. But they know now, thanks to Sister Mary Davita.. Sister .·Mary Cherubina tells the. story of nuns who visit St. Mary's in the Summer and invariably mention how well they are fed. "That's because we have such a good cook," she adds. Sister Mary Davita, in her quiet, unassuming way, will just smile at such talk. But it's true. The 53 boys and girls at St. Mary's will attest to that!

Lay Teachers Threaten Strike PHILADELPH[A (NC) - Lay teachers in Catholic secondary schools ht~re have placed the Philadelphia archdiocese in an hour-glass situation by threatenjng to strike their jobs unless guaranteed bigger salaries by Sept. 9, the day school re-opens. The propos<:d strike by about 900 lay teachers in the archdiocese's 32 high schools could paralyze the entire school system also staffed by 1,400 religiolls teachers. To compound the situation, a move is afoot to unionize 2,000 lay teachers in 295 Catholic elementary schools as well and enlist them in the strike as planned by Local 1776, Association of Catholic Teachers. Money could prevent the possible closing of Catholic schools said John J. Reilly, local president. But, mOlley is what the archdiocese's secondary school system doesn't have, stated Msgr. Edward T. 'Hughes, superintendent of Catholic schools. Meanwhile, time is running out. The archdiocese's contract with its lay secondary teachers expires Aug. 31. "Our gravest problem is our financial limitation," explained the monsignor. The system's delicate financial situation made news last May when for the first time in its 80 year history, the archdiocese was forced to obtain a bank loan to meet the teacher payroll.

Pittsburgh Priest Opposes Police Bill HARRISBURG (NC)-A Pittsburgh priest testified before a Pennsylvania House subcommittee here that passage of a state law making seniority the .key to police promotions would increase the chances of urban racial conflicts. Father Donald W. McIlvane of St. Richard's Church urged the subcommittee on urban affairs to reject what he called "the amateur, second-rate misguided type of police thinking that is represented by those who propose this bill." Reportedly drafted at the, request of Pittsburgh's Fraternal Order of Police, the bill puts promotions, job assignments and vacation availability strictly on a seniority basis. According to Father McIlvane, this means that recently hired minority group members will be condemned to the last choice in jobs and vaCation times.

Strong ~Opposition'

. HELENA (NC)-The Montana Supreme Court ruled that Deer Lodge County school trustees are without authority in collecting or spending a levy for teachers' salaries in a parochial school. The high court opinion upheld "the late District Court Judge Philip Duncan's ruling against the school board. The action against School District Number 10 of Deer Lodge was originated by Robert Chambers of Anaconda after special levies hall fleen approved for $65,000. ," One of the purposes of the levy was to pay eight teachers to teach on the premises of the parochial high school. The lengthy Montana Supreme Court opinion said that aid. to .the school is aid to the church itself. It added that the Montana constitution prohibits a public scl}ool board from making a levy for expending funds. for the employment 'of teachers to teach in a parochial school. The school district board, the high court said, acted in error in calling for the levy in the first place. The court said, however, "there exists no necessity to further discuss the free exercise clauses in either the U. S. or Montana constitutions:'

In'formation Official Kills Chavez Feature WASHINGTON (NC)-An official of the United States Infor'mation Agency here removed a stor.y about United Farm Workers' Organizing Committee head Cesar Chavez from an agency publication because he felt it was too favorable to the labor leader. "I don't think we shOUld' take sides in a domestic controversy," R. Kenneth Towery said. Towery is assistant USIA director for press and publications. Reportedly the first USIA story "kill" since the beginning ,of the Nixon administration, the Towery action was taken because he felt the article ignored the grape growers' side of the issue. Towery said he had ordered a revised version of the Chavez story prepared for the agency's PhotO-Bulletin, a catalogue of pictures and stories the agency makes available to its overseas offices for local reproduction.

It's just about this time that the attraction of the qeach starts to wane and the thoughts of many mothers turn to the problem of outfitting their offspring for school.

time to knit and the results of this will be that quite a few boys and girls will be returning to their alma maters with handsome hand-knits as part of tht-ir Fall wardrobe. One of these mothers, Mrs. John J. Lowney of St. Lawrence Parish, New Bedford, has already made her daughter Kelly some hand-knit vests. Kelly herself is making the ties that fasten them and after glancing at some of mom's handiwork we're sure that Kelly will be one of the most stylish second graders in New Bedford. .

A fdlow 'parishioner of 路Mrs. Lowney's at St. Lawrence's, Mrs. Edward Mello Jr., is looking for smart looking bellbright bottoms for her' three sons. "Muted plaids and handsome fabrics are what I'll be looking for," said Lil Mello, "but I'll also be positive that an item is permanent press and easy-to-care: for before I invest in it." Lil went on to say that her daughter Joanie (a stunning brunette) will be looking for very traditional clothes to wear to college. Such items as plaid skirts, kilts, and crew' neck sweaters still rank high on the list of "wants" for the typical COllege-bound femme. Mrs. James (Mac) McCarthy of Immaculate Conception Parish in Fall River admits that this will be the first year tha t all of her children won't be in uniforms. "I don't know who's going to have more fun picking out the clothes, my son Jay or I." Louise McCarthy added that she did plan to try to help Jay. pick out several coordinated outfits and some "Mod" plaid pants. "Of course, like other mothers, I want these items to be easy-care and permanent press," she said.

seph's Parish, Fall River, may disagrep with this philosophy because she has five boys to outfit and that's when it's more wurk than fun. "I'll be looking for fabrics that are care-free. It's worth the 50 cents to a dollar more that you have to pay for this type of clothing." Helping her tt-enage' daughter Nancy pick out clothes will brighten her shopping trips though, Pat said; and Nancy has definite ideas on what she likes. One of Nancy's pet peeves is the midi and she, like many other young girls her age, is bemoaning the fact that nothing is appearing on the racks but this length. Stnys With Mini Suzanne Long, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Long of Immaculate Conception Parish, Fall River, sl1ares Nancy's view of the midi. "I'm still going to stay' with the mini, at least for skirts and daytime dresses," stated this charming redhead quite -emphatically. She does have a maxi coat but she's consil.!ering shortening that even to midi length (a length she does like in coats) becaus.e. pf. the dirt the long, long . coat attracts. -. Talking to just a f~w of the women in the area who will b~ facing. the problems of back-toschool buying has convinced this columnist that mothers today want fashionable clothes for their children but they also want them to be easy to take care of; while the younger set has ideas all their own and it's going to be interesting to see if they outsmart Paris.

Lettuce Growers Sign With Teamsters Union SALINAS (NC) - Cesar Chavez's United Farm Workers Organizing Committee, flushed with victory in the Delano grape strike, received a serious setback in its attempts to organize farm workers in this coastal valley of California. . The Teamsters Union signed pacts with most of the Salinas valley lettuce growers, covering 7,000 farm workers. The packing houses of these same producers are already covered with Teamster contracts. Chavez charged that the Teamster move broke a 1967 agreement in which UFWOC, affiiliated with the AFL-CIO, was to have the organizing right for all California farm workers. He called the teamster-grower pact "a Pearl Harbor type of sneak attack." His union immediately slapped a suit against the Teamsters, charging that the contracts were not in the spirit of the California. law. At a press conference in Delano announcing the end of the Delano grape strike, Chavez said he was "declaring war" on the Teamsters for' breaking their written pledge to allow the AFL-CIO to organize the field workers.

DES MOINES (NC)-In a bid to make this year's campaign for aid to nonpuhlic schools successful, officials of thE' Iowa Catholic Confert-nce released a new . pamphlet hert' outlining the needs of nonpuhlic eaucation in the state. Titled "'1he S..::hool Squeeze in Iowa," the pamphlet outlines the immediate monE'y problems facing nonpuulil: schools. But it also ties the problems of the statp's public and lion public schools to路 gether, showing the impact of , falling non public school enrollment has on public schools. Last year, the pamphlet points out, transfers into public schools cust the state $5 million, and the buuklet said: "The increased costs of absorbing students into the public SdlOOI system will make the 63 per cent increase in cost over the past five years insignificant by comparison to the next fiveyear period." . In an effort tu ht:ad off the decline of Iowa non public education and tll l:urb spiraling public education costs, the state's nonpublic schools are se~king passage of a bill authorizing the state. to purchase services from the non public schools.

WASHNGTON (NC)-Network television has been portrayed as a ghetto monster breeding frustration and mistrust among the poor in its pursuit of profits from complacent, white ,middle America.' . Television' "does things routinely and habitually to permit, encourage and even demand that in all situations any black is inferior to any white," said Dr. Chester Pierce, a Harvard University psychiatrist. He was one of a trio or educational TV officials who told a Senate subcommittee that while television has Its evils, it is also a potential "savior of our soci· ety" that could-and shouldturn its mind-molding powers to providing all children everywhere equal education opportu. nity, To uo this however, it would take ~ massive television effort to eradicate racism and education. The threesome put a $500million-to-$1 billion price tag 011 this proposal. Pierce, adviser to nation's most popular children's show, "Sesame Street," said "th,e lesson to both the black and the white child must be that our society is pro-racist."

Father Terrence Tracy, president of the Springfield diocesan priests' senate that is sponsoring the survey, noted that such a proposal was turned down by the Illinois General Assembly in May. He commented: "We've been asking the legislators for money but we haven't proved the need. In some' cases we've weakened OUI; position by making. threats and by giving few facts and figures."

Education Board Votes Down Dual Enrollment St~dy CHICAGO (NC)-The Chicago public school board has voted down a study of "Operation Partnership," a dual enrollment plan proposed by Father Robert Clark, Chicago archdiocesan' superintendent of schools. Father Clark called the board of education's 7 to 3 vote "astounding" since the study would not have approved the dual enrullment proposal but probe the plan's possibilities. The plan would have provided for public schools to lease Catholic school facilities and pay Catholic school teachers on a part-time basis. Board members voting against the proposal indicated displeasure with Father Clark's specific 'Plan, rather than the concept of dual enrollment itself. Dual enrollment usually means Catholic students attend public schools to take certain non-religious subjects. ' Father Clark said he was unsure what the next step would be in trying to alleviate Catholic school financial troubles, brought on by the Illinois legislature's rejection of a proposal to providt· state aid to non public schools. More Closings The superintendent said all 422 archdiocesan schools will open i'1 September. A second plan l'Operation Friendship," where more affluent parishes would aid those with greater financial problems; is still being implemented. ' Meanwhile, five more Catholic grade schools in the Peoria diocese have closed down, bringing the number of diocesan schools there to shut down over a four-year period to 20. School officials in the Sprin~ field diocese also reported' one additional grnde school closing in June.

Automaker 'Builds Shrine for Victims TATESHINA (NC) - Shotaro Kamiya, one of Japan's leading industrialists, built Toyota Motors into a major auto producer. Now he has built a shrine here to motorists killed in auto accidents. "I have been feeling very sorry for the persons who died in traffic accidents and who might have perished on the roads in vehicles made, in our factories," the 72year-old industrialist said. Kamiya's family and friends, Toyota dealers and an American oil company put up the money for the 600-square-foot shrine. Inside the shrine is a statue of Kannon, the Buddhist Deity of Mercy.

Pope Paul Praises. Cardinal Pizzardo VATICAN CITY (NC)-Cardinal Giuseppe Pizzardo, who died recently at the age of 93, was a defender of the much criticized Roman Curia, said Pope Paul VI. The Pope returned here from his summer residence in Castelgandolfo on hearing the news of the cardinal's death. The oldest member of the College of Cardinals at the time of his death, Cardinal Pizzardo served in the Curia under six popes, retiring only last year. Pope Paul paid tribute to his former superior in the Vatican secretariat of state by saying that his life was that of a servant of the Lord "who could not rest in this life."

Criticizes Deficiencies Of American Education

THE ANCHOR-Diocese of Foil River-Thurs. Aug. 13, 1970

Father Peyton

Has New Slogan

A friend of mine who is a high academic official at a great American urban university tells me that the black students in that university who came out of the slum high schools as part of the university's open admission policy are much more interested and much better at seven- and decreed that young people will be rated on their abiilities teenth century E,nglish poet- on that dimension, even if it

HOLLYWOOD (NC) - Father Patrick Peyton, C.S.C., reluctantly has' taken up hard sell to. promote prayer and belief in God. The author of the familiar "The Family that prays -together, stays together" slogan, now has a new one-"The world hasn't got a prayer without yours." The new slogan is the tagline for a new venture, a series of 30 and 60 second TV spot an-. nouncements which hit hard at the weakest points in the people of the 70s. "If . only we could use fields of flowers and children insteatl of tragedies to remind people

of the power of prayer," Father Peyton told a press conference here. But hard sell or not, Father Peyton's goal remains the same -"to awaken Americans to the simple, solitary solutionprayer." Seven spot announcements were previewed at the press conference. In color, terse and professional, they deal with the moral cancer caused by drugs, delinquency, broken homes, hunger, poverty, war. The seven spot announcements were produced by Phil Dusenberry, who heads his own agency in New York.

ry (the subpect which my friend teaches) than are the white students from the highly rated academic high schools in the city. I asked him why this is true. Can it be that the old stereotype about blacks having "natural rhythm" is actually valid?

REV. ANDREW

M/l:: =:::: ..

GREELEY

My friend laughs and says he thinks not. Thl;l reason the black kids are better at poetry is that they have had a poor grammar school and high school education than the white students. In other words, the natural sense of the poetic with which all of us are born is more likely to survive a poor primary and secondary education than it is likely to survive a good one. It is not my intention, surely, to suggest that blacks are better off with the second-rate education they receive in so '~any 'slum schools. What I am asSerting is that the so-called first'rate education is, if anything, worse than the so-c,alled secondrate education, and that by any absolute standard of the worth of an educational experience, almost all American primary and secondary educ~tion is inferior, American blacks would be singularly ill-advised .to want for themselves the same dehumaniizing education that American white young people are receiving. They would be well-advised to band together with white Americans to improve the quality of education for everyone, an improvement which would take a radical rethinking of the style and the technique and the methodology of American education. The basic assumption of the American educational enterprise is meritocratic. It is viewed as an enterprise which has been designed to rate young people along a continuum which purportedly measures their abilities. Those with high abilities are marked high on the continuum, and those with low abilities, low on the continuum. Abstract Reasoning But there is, for all practical purposes, only one continuum, and that is the continuum which measures a person's abiility to do well in tests; the tests in their turn tap both the student's ability at memorizing isolated phenomena and his skills at nardowly rational modes of cognition and exptession. In other words, the American educational enterprise has selected one quite limited form of human knowledge and action

means that other forms of knowledge are not merely to be ignored, but even, if ne~essary, repressed. The further one goes in 'the educational system, the more necessary it is to limit one's intellectual development to one's powers of abstract conceptualization. The ideal Ph.D. candidate is a young person who is very good at abstract reasoning, very clever at the articulation of theoretical language, and absolutely insensitive to all other forms of knowledge and expression. One might be able to make a case that in a discipline like mathematics or theoretical physics, such training is appropriate, though I would be skeptical even at this. One most assuredly cannot make a case for such training in the social sciences and the, humanities but that .is what young people get just the' same. Official PhUosophy The same sort of positivistic rationalism which has turned most of our large educational enterprises into ungovernable bureaucracies has also determined the organization of curriculum and the method of instructing young men and young women, it. is still the official and almost unassailable philosophy on which American education and indeed much of the rest of American society is organized'. Sometimes I don't blame the hippies for flocking off to Taos. I am not suggesting that edu-. cation ought to ignore the powers of abstract thought and articulation of this thought. Quite the contrary, such powers are indispensable in the modern world, and education has an important role to play in developing such powers. But I am trying . to make two points: 1. Abstract reasoning and abstract expression are not' the only forms of human knowledge and expression. An education which is concerned with evaluation, and measures only these dimensions of personality growth is bound to be inadequate, deficient, and, indeed, subhuman education. 'Personal Knowledge' 2. It is .,really impossible 'to develop capacities at theoretical reasoning and expression without at the same time developing the intuitive and the mythopoetic styles of understanding and expressing oneself. As the famous philosopher of sciences, Michael Polanyi, has repeatedly pointed out, the great scientist is not the man who has been ~ble to repress his intuitive and poetic capacitiies, but is rather the one who is able to reinforce his activity of theoretical reasoning with the passion and the insight of intuition and poetry. , The most brilliant kind of knowledge, accordinig to Polanyi, is "personal knowledge," that is to say, that kind 'of knowledge which calls on all the resources of the human personality. To put the matter more con-

The protesting students, half of them girls in school uniforms, came from schools run by religious orders. They boycotted classes to join the march. They are r.egarded as "moderates" as opposed to another student movement of the radical left.

cretely.: The Ph.D. candidate in " mathematics would be a better mathematician if he had not allowed his sense. of poetry, myth, and intuition to atrophy. Some of those who are most critical of the deficiencies of the educational enterprise organized around' abstract reasoning are. inclined to go, to the other extreme (including many of the proponents of the 50called "free school" movement). They support an education in which reasoning of the theoretical sort is virtually excluded. But going from one extreme to another, .while it may win one the title of erratic, is hardly a very intelligent strategy. And where are the CathoJic schools?

The' case of Brother McCar· vel', brother of Tim McCarver, catcher for the Philadelphia Phillies, has not yet been settled. Brother McCarver sought the certification to teach in the public schools' night program here. He has said he will continue his case until it is finally settled. The complaint of Sister Joan Cecilia raised the issue again.

Work, executive director of the National Council of Catholic Men the past 20 years, has re-. signed to become planning and programming consultant of the Denver archdiocese. His new position was de· scribed as one of the highest ever assigned a layman within official diocesan structures in the United States. Work, 55, will serve as a right-hand man for Archbishop James V. Casey of Denver. Announcing his resignation, Work said he would continue as a member of the council's board of directors and ch~irman of its national committee on planning and development.

Without Staff As overseer for NCCM's annual budget of about $600,000 and a staff of 23, Work said another attractive feature of his new job is the absence of similar, responsibilities in Denver. "I told the archbishop I wanted no responsibility for a staff and if this amounted to sitting on top of 20 to 30 people, I wasn't interested." Work explained that he would "much prefer to work alone without any (administrative), staff responsibllities except for a secretary." . In making his direction clear, Work emphasized that he was not leavig Washington "because I'm angry, upset or anything else." In Denver, giving encouragement and direction is what Work intends to be doing'to promote the new concept of "shared responsibility" by lay persons and the Church hierarchy.

Reluctant to Use 'Kiss of Peace' PITTSBURGH' (NC) - Tn one small Pittsburgh parish, ~h': i':iss of Peace ceremony is no: .·.;ed at Mass because everybody knows everybody else. . In one large Pittsburgh parish the ceremony is omitted from the Mass because nobody knows anybody else. Reluctance to introduce some form of the Kiss of Peace into the Mass-whether it is a handshake, a nod or simply a smileappeared almost universal, according to a random survey of 18 Pittsburgh parishes. Approximately two-thirds of the surveyed parishes have some form of the Kiss of Peace. Yet many priests and people do not like the practice, claiming :that Americans are too rigid to make the gesture; that it is a for:eign clJstom; and that some people might have dirty hands. One priest who favored use of the ceremony - which is not mandatory in the Mass but is recommended by Iiturgistsurged some changes in the gesture. "The people," he said, "would accept it more if the name 'Kiss 6f Peace' were removed; if it were placed somewhere in the beginning of the Mass; alld if it were used with a few minutes of introduction and explanation."

Clhurch Stronger' Tlhrough Suffering SAN FRANCISCO (NC)-Turmoil ih the Church should be expected by all Catholics, Ii Byzantine archbishop told Serra Club members here. But he said the disturbances should not be allowed to obscure the Church's traditional teachings. "As Catholics," Archbishop Nicholas Elko, consultor to the Vatican's Congregation for Eastern Rites, said, "we will have to suffer as did the first Christians, but I think the Church is going to come out stronger and be more authoritative." Commenting on challenges to the Church in the U. S. and the Soviet Union, the archbishop observed that "if religion hasn't been crushed in Russia after 53 years, it will not be crushed in America."

Student Protest Unable To Propose Alternatives

It is very difficult for Great Powers to discover how to behave in the post-imperial world, the world of national

self-determination, the equality of states and the presence -though not the dominance-of the' United Nations. It is difficult, first of all, because in some ways it seems as scalt\ of submerged unrest in the though nothing had changed. classrooms and lecture halls.

Big Powers can still exercise overwhelming economic and sodal power by the scale of their trade and investment, as the United States tends to do in parts of Latin America. Big

Political Consequences

By BARBARA WARD

Powers could still annihilate any state if they were to pull out the nuclear stops. So what does talk of "equality" mean, between an Albania and a Soviet Union, between Cuba and the United States? But these actual differences in power are not the only confusing factor. It is clear that Russia's leaders are hopelessly muddIed about the relationship between Soviet national power and Soviet ideological "leadership." This confusion is perfectly obvious in the so-calIed Breshnev doctrine which says in effect that the Soviet Union can intervene militarily to overthrow any government whose brand of Communism does riot suit Moscow. This is an incredibly backwardlooking interpretation of national power. It goes back to the Wars of Religious in the 17th century when the Prince decided the religion of his people and claimed the right to intervene in other lands to keep people Catholic or Protestant as the case might be. It was precisely to get away from the inherent risk of perpetual violence contained in this principle that Europe first formulated the' concept of religious tolerance.

Submerged Unrest

In some ways, America has comparable problems to those of the Soviet Union. In others, it is incomparably better off. To take the disadvantage first, if Russia is naive in believing you can use national state power to advance a secular religion, the Americans tend to be naive in thinking that no issues of national state power are raised by the scale of America's economic predominance. If the business interests of one nation control 60 per cent and more of industries' in other countries, this is, inevitably, a political issue. The uneasiness of the Canadians, the sensitiveness of Peruvians and Bolivians, Europe's question mark about 'American companies controlling vital industrial sectors, a general fear that' large American corporations may get control of the ocean seabed - all these' are symptoms of the political consequences of businiess power. Not to see the connections between economic and political power can be as blind as the· Soviet's refusal to see the degree to which they are manipulating Communism to suit their own national purposes. Open Society Blessing , . But America is incomparably better off than Russia in the fact that it already has that supreme politiical blessing, an open society in which plural interests and plural opinions are respect~d 'and where no deadening hand of bureaucratic uniformity bars the way to a new ·and creative understanding of America's role in a changed and changing world. The instinct of the. younger generation that war and intervention and political control abroad are evil is, compared with the inhibited silence of Russia's still repressed student body, a great gale of' fresh wind. It would be altogether a sweeter' world if Russia's campuses had erupted after the rape of Czechoslovakia. '

This was the forerunner to the triumph of accepting political tolerance. The tragedy of Russia is that this fundamental principle of humanity has been jettisoned in the name of a new secular religion, Communism. And with its revival there is equally revived the risk of another century of "re~igious" war. . The great hope lies, however, The weakness in American with Russia's young people who student protest is in its unfoare being educated in an increas- cussed, ,anarchic character, its ingly open world (however much inability to propose alternatives. their aging bureaucratic and So far, its intellectual leaders frightened leaders try to keep it 'have failed in any compelling closed).

Educational Opportunity Knocks Twice Continued from Page Seventeen student not only attends class but also does outside study, reading, term papers, so that when he takes his examinations he will pass them successfully and receive the credit that is awarded to the industrious student. It is on the basis of an acceptable grade that a student may continue toward further credits and toward his degree, or transfer credits to another college. The receiving college sets the 'acceptable grade for the transfer of credits which is usually a "C" 01'2.0. What Is ~ Degree A degree is a ranking in academic standing, indicating that the student has pursued successfully a certain type and number of courses in a given area. The luwest degree given is an Associate Degree. This is a similar to being an assistant to a person over you. One has done some of the work but not all there is to do or know in a particular area of study. The Associate Degree usually consists of two years in a fulltime program. This degree generally is given by Junior colleges and Community colleges. Most college students work for a bachelor's degree which consists of four years of a fulltime program. These two degrees are called undergraduate degrees as opposed to a Master's degree or a Doctorate. A Master's usually requires an additional two years of work while a Doctorate's degree is an additional three to four years work beyond the bachelor's. .

'War Never Again' VATICAN CITY (NC)-Twenty-five years after the. bombing of Hiroshima, the Vatican City newspaper lamented that man cannot live in peace. In an editorial in L'Osservatore Romano (Aug. 6) on the anniversary of the atomic bombing of the Japanese city editor Raimondo Manzini repeated the words of Pope Paul VI to the, United Nations: "War never again, war never again."

Deplores Japanese Abortion 'Explosion' VATICAN CITY (NC)-Father Pedro Arrupe, superior general of the Jesuits, has estimated 50 million abortions have been performed in post-war Japan, causing an "explosion" more dangerous than the atomic bombing of Hiroshima. In a statement given to Vatican Radio commemorating the 25th anniversary of the tragedy of Hiroshima, Father Arrupe recalled his horror at witnessing the explosion from afar while a missionary in the Far East. He said the bombing has had "vast repercussions," both good and bad, in the life of the Japanese people. The bomb initiate~ a ,history of people "without dtvine aspirations, but with great human ideals," he said.
