TheSowerReform.

TherecentreformoftheSower schememeritsamention.Father Drinkwater,inhis1928-1929report, says:"Ifwearetogeneralisefromthe majorityandtheaverage,experience showsthatthechildrenunder12are notreallyripetoconcernthemselves withthemeaningoftheCatechism wordsandphrases;theycangenerally begottounderstandthemmoreor less,butitisratheranunnaturaltour deforce,andunsuitablenourishment forthemindinitsactualstageof growth(notthetruthsthemselves,of course;thereisnodifficultyabout teachingthese)."HeadvocatesdelayingtheCatechism'untilthethird periodofelementaryschoollife,when itcanmakeitsappearancewithfull freshnessandauthorityasthetextbookofreligiousinstructionforevery Catholic.Soregarded,theCatechism couldbestudiedinaregularcourse duringthelastthreeyearsorsoof school-lifeandwouldthushavefound itstrueandusefulplaceintheschool lifeofthechild."TheArchbishopof Birminghamacceptsthisreform,and prescribesitsuseintheschoolsofhis Archdiocese.Hewritesasfollows: "EspeciallyIamincordialagreement withtheplanofnotbeginningthe printedCatechismattooyoungan age.Yourrevisedschemeisaccordinglysanctionedforuseintheschools atonce,andasitseemselasticenough forallcircumstances,therewillbeno needforanyalternativescheme.I feelsurethatteacherswillhaveno difficultyinfindingplentyforthe youngerchildrentolearninplaceof theprintedCatechism,especiallywhere theclergyencouragetheschoolstoundertakefrequentactivitiesinchurch, inthewayofsingingandsoon.It istheparishpriest,whonormallyand naturallyfeelsresponsibleformaintainingthereligiousteachinginhis schoolatanordinarylevelofefficiency.WhatIaskoftheDiocesan Inspectorsistoinspect;and,therefore,Ifullyapproveofyourdesireto substituteordinarymethodsofinspectionforthesystematicexaminationof allthechildren."(Archbishop'sletter introducingthereport.)

TeachersApproval.

TheCatholicTeachers'Federationof England,attheirannualconferenceat Middlesborough,heldonJanuary2, 1930,approvedofthereformbyplacingthefollowingresolutiononthe agenda:"Thisconferencewarmlywelcomesthenewreligioussyllabusofthe ArchdioceseofBirmingham,accompaniedbythesubstitutionofinspectionforexamination,andexpressesits confidentbeliefthatsuchchanges mustinevitablyresultinmakingthe religiousinstructionmoreintelligent, morepracticalandmorepermanent incharacter."

CanonThomasWrightcommentson thatresolutionintheEnglish"Catholic Times":"Readingintotheinnocent wordsoftheresolution,wearemade toperceivethatthemenandwomen, whoareresponsibleforthereligious trainingofourCatholicchildren,and whohavedonetheirconscientiousbest forthemwithazealworthyofthe highestacknowledgement,areutterly dissatisfiedwiththepresentsystemof religiouseducation,notfromthetrumperydesireforchange,butfortheconsideredreasonthattheexistingsyllabusandmethodofteachingarefutile. Theteachersspendtheirdayswan thechildren;theywatchtheirreligiousgrowthaswellastheirscholastic.Theyworktoaprogramme,but therearemanychangesimposedon thembyduty,whichthey,aspractical educators,condemn.Monthsbefore theresolutionoftheconferencewas discussed,theheadofalargeschool informedmethathehadreceivedthe highestcreditfromthereligiousexaminerforthepastyear'swork,but added,'Ofwhatearthlygoodisitto theMass-missers?' "WhattheCatholicTeachers'Federationproposeisthatourschools shallimpartalivingfaith,apersonal religion,actuatedbyapersonalmotive oflovetoserveGod.Theywishto beridofthedreadbogeyofexaminer,andofasyllabusbloatedwith collateralsubjectswhichstrainamemorybutleaveheartsunmoved.

tianDoctrine.Thewealthofillustrationsisresponsibleforitshighprice.

"Inoneword,theyaimatteaching religionasdistinctfrommerelymemorisedknowledgeaboutreligion,and seektorearCatholicsinsteadofsuperficialCatholicscholars.Whocan questiontheirconfidentbeliefthat suchchangesmustinevitablyresult inmakingreligiousinstructionmore intelligent,morepractical,andmore permanentincharacter?"

PostponetheCatechism?

Areourteachersofreligionready forthatstep?Theteachersinthe CatholicschoolsofBirminghamhave beenworkingtheSowerscheme ("SomeMethodsofTeachingReligion," pp.52-83)since1922asanoptional scheme.Theyhavebeengradually ledtousetheCatechisminsucha mannerastoleavemoreroomfor otherthings.AseriesofSowerhandbookssupplymatterandindicate methodineachofthethreecycles whichtheschemecatersfor.This reformofdroppingtheCatechismasa text-bookuntilthechildpassesits11th. year,doesnotmeanthattherewillbe lessdoctrinetaughtduringtheseyears.

Infact,theappealistoteachmore doctrineduringthisstage,andto branchoutintogreateractivitiesin theparishchurchandthelifeofthe parish.Thereformconsistsinchangingthemannerofpresentationduring thisstage.Itisheldbyitssponsors that,ifyoudiscardtheCatechismasa text-bookduringthoseyears,youmust necessarilydiscardthatwayofteachingreligion,whichweknowasthe catecheticalmethod.TheArchbishop ofBirminghamhasnomisgivingsover thisrevision,andfeelsquiteconfident thattheincreasedactivitiesinthepar. ishchurchwillprovideplentyforthe childrentolearninplaceoftheprintedCatechism. TheCatechismmightbelookedupon asacrutch,whichteachersmaylean uponinteachingreligion.Canall teachersdispensewiththatcrutch?

Ibelievewearenotreadyforthat stepyet.DiscardtheCatechismasa text-bookduringthoseyears,andyou supplymuchmoreelbowroomtothe teacherofreligion.Howmanyof uswillusethatroomprofitably? Inthatreformthereisawidefreedom, andlettheteacherwhocanuseit,do so.IbelievethatweshallhavebetterteachingwithouttheCatechismas atext-bookbecausetheteachermust preparemore.Thereisnotthesame incentivetopreparewhenaCatechism awaitsusfromwhichwecansetlessonsandhearthemthenextday.This reformwillimprovetheteachingofreligion,butitwillalsoimposeagreater burdenontheteacherofreligion.What willtaketheplaceoftheejectedCatechismtext?Ipresumethevacancy willbefilledwithreligiousreaders, somethinglikethoseofDr.Shields.

EvenearnestProtestants,whenthey cameintoourchurches,feltandacknowledgedthattherewassomething different,and,ofcourse,itwasOur LordintheTabernacle.The"Daily Mail:anewspapernobodywouldaccuseofbeingsubjecttoPapalinfluence,statedthat"thedeath-watchbeetlehasbeenquietlyatworkdestroyingancienttimber,probablyeversince thedisuseofincenseinmostEnglish churcheslefthimanatmospherein whichhecouldmaintainhismalignant existence."
