Rev.Dr.McMahonopenedtheproceedingsbyanaddressinwhichhe outlinedtherelationsofCatholicAction intheschoolstothedevelopmentofa healthyparishspirit.Dr.McMahon said:-

THEDEVELOPMENTOFAPARISH SPIRIT.

EnglandQuestionsHerEducation.

ThevalueoftheeducationGreat Britainhasbeengivingherchildrenis thesubjectofkeenandwidespreaddiscussionssincethewarbegan.Theold confidenceintheStatesecularschool hasbeenbadlyshaken.Inspiteofthe enormousexpenditureofmoneyoneducationalwork,thoughtfulpeopleadmit thattheyhavenotbeentravellingon theroadtoefficiencyandcharacterformation.The"Times,"initseditorial onFebruary17,1940,gavevoicetothe uneasystirringofthepublicmindthat thefundamentalsofpopulareducation demandreconsideration.Recognising thelackofmoraldisciplineandthe absenceofpersonalresponsibilityamongtheyoungpeopleintraining forwar,theeditorialpleadedforarecastingoftheStateschemeofeducationtomakeroomforreligionwithin thedailycurriculum.Onthispoint theeditorialisbluntlyoutspoken: "Thehighestofallknowledgemust begivenfranklythehighestofall placesinthetrainingofyoungcitizens.

AreOurYouthPreparedforCamp Life?

Imentionthisimportantadmission oftheneedofreligionwithinthe school,becauseIwantallofus,priests andreligiousteachers,toaskourselves:"Arewesatisfiedwithourown schools?"Farmoreinproportionto ourresourcesthanthegeneralcommunity,havewespentourselvesand beenspentinthecauseofreligious education.

Ouryoungmen,somefreshfromCollege,othersnotmanyyearsaway, haveenteredthecampsintrainingfor war.Ouryoungwomenhave,with equaldevotion,joinedthevariousorganisations.Howhasthetraining ofourschoolsmetthechallengeof camplifeuptothepresent?Arewe satisfiedwiththeresults?Areweget- tinganadequatereturnforoursacrifices?

Iknowthattherearemanyanswers tothesequestions.Theveryvariety

oftheanswersisaproofofthefact thatnotallofusaresatisfied.This conferenceofteachersisjustifiedonly bythebeliefthatimprovementsare possible,andmaybemadeactual,by suggestionanddiscussion.

Inacountrywhereallclassesof citizensarethrownintosuchclosecontactasinAustralia,thereisnomovementofthoughtthataffectsoneclass thatdoesnotalsoaffectallother classes.Consequentlyourdiscussion ofthosequestionsduringthisconferenceisaworkofnationalimportance, deservingourundividedatention.

Aboveallitaimsatthedevelopment ofthequalityofinwardness.Thesecondbookiscalled:"BuildingCharacter FromWithin."

IstheParochialSpiritDesirable?

Inthisyear'sconferenceweareaskingtheteacherstofacetheproblemof developingaparishconsciousness amongthechildren,particularlyamong thosewhogooutoftheirparishto CollegeorConventHighSchool.The word"parish"issimplytheGreekfor neighbourhood,anditmeansadefined pieceofterritoryaroundtheparish churchandschool.Unfortunately thenamesmackssomewhatofinferiority. A"parochialspirit,"forinstance,isnotconsideredadesirable stateofmind.Thetaintoftheword

passesintothething.Wehaveseen societiesoftheCatholiclaitybegun withgreatpromise,butgraduallyfadingaway,poisonedfromwithin throughhyper-criticism.Suchsocietiespersuadethemselvesthatoneof thereasonsoftheirexistenceisto correcttheevilsofparochialism.They viewwithpolitecondescensionboth pastorandparishasnecessarynuisances,tobetoleratedonlybecausethe wisdomofHolyChurchhasnotfound awaytoimprovethemoutofexistence.Iamhumanenough,however, toenjoythespectacleofthosesame societies,whenthetinselhastarnished, andtheenthusiasmhaspaled,edging uptosomeparishinthehopeofcheckingtheirperniciousanaemiabythe transfusionofhealthy,ifparochial, blood.

WhyistheParishsoImportant?

WouldtheMarriagebeValid?

"Convert,"Adelaide,SA.:

Couldamanandawoman,bothCatholics,decidebeforemarriage,never tocohabit,buttodevotetheirlives tosomespiritualworkforGod,such asteachingtheCatechismortheserviceofthepoor?

Themarriagecontractessentially consistsinthemutualconsentofthe parties,wherebyperpetualandexclusiveconjugalrightsaregivenandacceptedfortheendforwhichmarriage wasinstituted.Themutualconferring andacceptingofconjugalrightsis thereforeinseparablefromtruemarriage.Buthusbandandwifeare notnecessarilyboundtoexercisetheir rights.Bymutualagreementthey maydecidenottousetheirrights,and whenthisagreementismadeforserious andworthyreasons,thereisnothing wrongwithit.Shouldtheyagreebeforemarriagenottoexercisetherights whichderivefrommarriage,theiragreementwouldnotaffectthevalidityof themarriagecontract.Bythemarriagecontract,conjugalrightsaremutuallyconferredandreceivedbythe partiesconcerned,eventhoughthey agreenottoexercisetheserights.

Itmustbeobserved,however,that ifoneofthepartiesconcernedchanges hisorhermindaftermarriageand wishestomakeuseofconjugalrights, theotherpartywouldbeobligedto consent. Wouldapriestmarrythem,knowing this?

Thepriestwouldmarrythem,providednoimpedimentwerepresent whichwouldmakethemarriageinvalidorunlawful.Thecaseyousubmitwouldnotbeanimpedimentto truemarriage,and,therefore,thepriest wouldbefreetomarrythem.But whetherhewouldapproveoftheagreementdependsonthecircumstancesof thecase.

Woulditbenecessarytoconsummate themarriageinordertomakeita truemarriage?

No.AsIhavealreadyexplained, marriageisacontractinwhichconjugalrightsaremutuallyconferredan acceptedbythecontractingparties. Thepartiesaretrulymarriedwhen thiscontractisvalidlymade.Inthe caseunderdiscussion,thiscontractis quitevalid,eventhoughtheparties concernedmutuallyagreenottoexercisetherightswhichderivefromthe contract.Hence,consummationof themarriageisnotrequired. Arethereanyfamousinstancesofsuch mariages?

Yes.Themostfamousinstanceis themarriageoftheBlessedVirgin MaryandSt.Joseph.Theirswasa truemarriage,thoughMaryremained avirginaftermarriageasbefore.Let mereferyoutotheGospelaccording toSt.Luke,Ch.I.,vv.,25-35.

THEATTITUDEOFTHECHURCH. WouldtheChurchfrownuponsucha marriage?

TheChurchwouldnotapproveof suchmarriagesasageneralrule;nor

wouldtherebeanyreasontodoso, forsuchcasesarefewandfarbetween. Shewouldapproveoftheminindividualcasesandthenonlyforseriousand worthyreasons, Wouldsuchamarriageberatedspirituallyhigherthanmarria.aewiththe objectofchild-bearing?

Therighttotheuseofmaritalprivileges,thenaturalpurposeofwhichis child-bearing,isessentialtothemarriagecontractitselfandinseparable fromit.Withoutthemutualgiving andacceptingofconjugalrights,there canbenotruemarriage.Butthepartiesmaymutuallyagreenottoexercise therightsacquiredthroughthemarriagecontract.Iftheythusforgothe exerciseoftheirrightsforhigher spiritualpurposes,theirmarriagewould beofgreatervalueinthesightofGod preciselybecauseofthesehighermotives,notbecauseofanydifferencein themarriagecontractitself.Inother words,themarriagewouldhavegreater spiritualvaluebecauseofthemoth animatingthecontractingparties,not becausethemarriagecontractitself wouldbeholierinsuchacase.

CANHEMARRYAGAIN?

Anothermatter:11aCatholicmarries aProtestantgirlinaProtestant Churchandlaterrepentsofthebargain,wouldaCatholicpriestmarry himtoanothergirlintheCatholic Church?

Inordinarycircumstances,no.MarriagebetweenaCatholicandanonCatholicinaProtestantChurchisnot validintheeyesofGodand,therefore, thepartiesremainsingle.Butthis doesnotmeanthatanypriestwould marrythemantoanotherpartner, thistimeaCatholic.Thoughthefirst marriagewasnotvalidintheeyesof God,neverthelessitmayhavegiven risetoseriousobligationsofoneparty totheother.TheProtestantgirl doubtlessthoughttheunionvalidand lawful,andthustheCatholicman,who knowsthattheChurchdoesnotrecognisehismarriageasvalidintheeyes ofGod,hasdoneheraveryseriousinjury.Thisinjuryhecanonlyrepair bymarryingherproperlyaccordingto thelawsoftheCatholicChurch.In suchacase,therefore,aCatholicpriest wouldrefusetomarryhimtoanother girlandthuscondonethecrimehe hadcommittedagainstthefirst,whoin asensewashisinnocentvictim.

If,however,theProtestantparty didnotacquiresuchrightsorhadlost them,orhadobtainedacivildivorce andhadmarriedagain,theCatholic partywouldbeentitledtobringthe matterbeforeanecclesiasticalcourt. Afterdueexaminationofthefactsof thecase,thiscourtmightauthorisehis marriagetoanothergirl.Butsuch permissionisnotlikelytobegranted aslongasthefirstmarriageremained bindingistheeyesoftheState,becauseofthecomplicationswhichwould arise.

CatholicCelibacy

CanyoutellmewhyPriestsandNuns don'tgetmarried?

SeeingthatIamapriest,andhave thereforepersonallyrenouncedall ideasofmarriageforthesakeofmy vocation,Ioughttobeabletotellyou that.Inthefirstplace,itisnotbecausewebelievethatthereisanything evilorwrongwithmarriage.Itisbecausewetakeliterallytheinvitation ofChristtorenounceallhumanaffectionsandtiesfortheloveofHim,and todevoteourselvesentirelytoHisserviceandthatofsouls.ChristHimselfpredictedthatsomewouldaltogetherrenouncemarriage"forthe kingdomofheaven'ssake."Andif menhavesacrificedmarriageforthe sakeofscience,nursing,exploration, philanthropy,makingadifficultrenunciationofmerelynaturalgrounds,no onecouldquarrelwiththosewhogive upmarriageforChrist'ssake.St. Paulnevermarried,andsaid,"Iwould thatallwerelikemyself,unmarried."

AndtheCatholicChurchhasadopted hisideal-Everypriestmustputto onesidethewholeofmarriedlifeand allthatitimplies.Christsaid,"In heaventhereisneithermarryingnor givinginmarriage,fortheyshallbe astheangels."Apriestadoptsthose standards,asitwere,beforehistime,

thathemaydedicatehiswholebeing toChrist,andgiveundividedinterest totheworkforChrist.Infact,a priestmustbe,asfaraspossible,"anotherChrist"inthisworld,wholly giventospiritual,supernaturaland heavenlythingsinthisworld,bent onlyonthesalvationofsouls,anddetachedfromselfishconsiderationsof hisowncomfort,andtheindulgingof hisnaturalinclinationsandaffections.

Andasthepriestinhissphere,so thenuninherownspherealsofeels calledtorenounceallthings,andconsecrateherselfentirelytoGod,living forthingsofthespiritandnotofthis world.Shetoorenouncesmarriage andallseekingofhumanaffections.So herveryhabitwarnsmentospare themselvesthetroubleofbestowing theirattentionsuponher.Sheisunapproachableon;themerelyhuman level,andbehavessothatnoone woulddreamofbreakingthroughher reserve.Sheisreserved-forGod, andacompleteconsecrationtospiritualideal-anddutiesofcharity.

"OURMINISTERSMARRY."

Ourministersgetmarried,andhave children. Thatistrue.But,togetherwith manyotherideals.theProtestantre-

formersthrewawaytheidealofcelibacy,andlostallrealunderstanding ofthesupremeinvitationofChristto renounceallthings,eventheconsolationofwifeandchildren,inorderto followHim.Andthereisnoreason whytheCatholicChurchshouldabandontheidealbecausetheProtestant churcheshavedoneso.Thecelibacy oftheclergyhasbeentheChristian idealfromtheveryearliestagesofthe Church.Whenthedisciplesasked OurLordwhetherIIeexpectedmen nottomarry,OurLordreplied,"Not allmesswillrefrain,butthosetowhom itisgiven.Hethatcandoso,lethim doso."Protestantismabolishedthe difficultthings,andfollowedtheeasier pathofthesensesratherthanthe higherroadofthespirit.Butinthe CatholicChurchthehighidealsof Christremaintothisday.Recently ayoungpriestdied,andafterhisdeath somenoteshehadwrittenpriortohis ordinationwerefound,andtheycontainedthesebeautifulwords,"Iamto 'beapriest,livingforChristonly.I mustnotonlyrenouncemarriage.I renounceallthetendernesswomen canshow,andwhichgivessuchcharm tothelifeofaman.Allsuchconsolations,sodeartothehumanheart, areexcludedbymyvow.Oncethe sacrificeismade,notoneofthose sweetnes-sesmusteverbedesired.The lifeofapriestmustbeasolitaryone -alonewithGod."Ifyouobjectto suchideals,andtheCatholicstandard ofcelibacyforthepriesthood,Iwill gladlyansweranyparticulardifficultiesthatoccurtoyou.Butthefact thatProtestantministerschooseto marry,justasothermenwhohaveno desiretoriseaboveordinarylevelsof humanlife,isnotreasonwhytheCatholicChurchshouldbecontented withthesamelowerstandards.

Feastofthe Purification

THEARCHBISHOPASSISTSAT HIGHMASSINST.MARY'S CATHEDRAL.

TheFeastofthePurificationofOur Lady,oftenknownasCandlemas,was celebratedwithfullrituallastMonday morning.HighMasscommencedafter theblessingofthecandlesat8.30a.m., andwassung'byRev.FatherDonnelly. HisGracetheArchbishopwaspresent intheSanctuary.TheCathedralChoir sangtheMassoftheFeastinGregorian chant,andthequietdignityofthe Church'smusicseemedtoexpressso feelinglyallthattheprayersofthe Feastimplied.Wemayreadthe fourthprayeroftheblessingofthe candlesinordertounderstandthe symbolismofthelampintheSanctuaryandofthecandlesblessedonthis day,andthefirstprayertoknowthe rightusetobemadeofthembythe 'bedofthedying,duringstorms,and inperilstowhichmaybeexposed''our bodiesandsoulsonlandandonthe waters."

PerilsofProphecy. Hencletheirexpositionsinievitably runintothesheerestandsilliestbig- otryagainsttheChurch,andintoserenepropheciesaboutthedateofthe SecondComing(concerningwhichOur Lordstated:"Itisnotgiventoman toknowthesethings.")Allthose passagesofScripturewhichhave beenregardedthroughtwothousand yearsasconstitutingfundamental Christiantrutharepassedoverinsilence,especiallythoserelatingtothe risingupoffalseprophetsagainstthe truthofChrist.TheWitnesseshave not,however,yetachievedthedistinctionof"deceivingtheelect"-unless, ofcourse,theyare"theelect."Inthat case"theelect"havebeendeceived beyondthewildestconjecture.For therest,theyaremarked,incommon withallProtestantism,withthatunmi.stakablesign-thelackofcharity. Theyspeakofthesignswhichwillpre- cedeArmageddon,butIcanperceive atleastoneofthemintheirregard,and thatistheonewhichdescribeshow charitywillgrowcold.

SQUAREANDCOMPASS,

ThedeathoftheDukeofConnaught involvesissuesofquiteadifferent calibre.Jehovah'sWitnesseswere, afterall,simplynoisycranks,ofrecent originandofuncertainsurvivalvalue Theydidnotatanytimeconstitutea majorthreattoCatholicism.Butthe DukeofConnaughtwastheleaderof EnglishFreemasonry,andforallitsdenialsandprotests,Freemasonryis,in theEnglish-speakingworld,themajor foeoftheFaith,becauseinitsfolda fusionofathousandenemiesofthe Catholicreligionispossibleunderthe veilofsecrecy.Freemasonsarenot cranksandtheyarecertainlynot noisy'buttheyareverystrongnumericallyandfinancially.InOctober, 1938,thelargestgatheringoftheCraft everheldinAustraliaassembledin Sydney.Therewerenofewerthan 6,000present. NaturalismaSubstitute. AsIseeit,themenaceofMasonry proceedsalongtwowell-definedlines. Firstly,itunderminessupernaturalreligionofanykind.Itsrootdoctrine accordingtothe"sacredauthors"of theCraftisnaturalism-theself-sufficiencyofman.Thisnotionnecessarilyprescindsfromatruemorality,for itlacksadequatesanctions.Hencea codeofpurelynaturalethicsisinculcatedinmembers.Insuchascheme ofthingsChristianityissuperfluous.

TheIndirectMethod. Nowitisveryunlikelythatactual atheismordirectattacksagainstChristianityaremadeintheLodges.No memberisdirectlyseducedfroma Christianoutlook.Butasubstitute hasbeenprovidedwhichoffersasimplerwayoflifeandinanyage,butespeciallyto-day,amanwilltakevery readilytoalineoflesserresistance.It istruethatMasonicritualreferstothe "GreatArchitectoftheUniverse."But Masonry's"sacredauthors"donotrevealthatthisreferstoaPersonalGod.

ly FRANCIS GILBERT

Itmightbesimplyanallegoricaltitle underwhichweregroupedandpersoni. fiedtheprocessesofnature.Inany case,theideaofaPersonalGodis,as Ihavesaid,unnecessarytothephilosophyofnaturalism.

EconomicDomination. ThesecondandmorereadilyappreciatedaspectofMasonryisitsdominationofinternationalfinanceandthe economicandcommercialstranglehold itexercisesoverindividualnations. Thishasallkindsofrepercussionsin matterssuchasemploymentandpromotiontokeypositions.Itisamost perniciousinfluence,becausetheconcentratedwealthoftheLodgesenables themtocoerceandtocorruptGovernments.Itistrue,forexample,that FrancewasgovernedfromtheLodges forverymanyyears.Itisalsotrue thattheMasonic"blacklists"during theGreatWarrobbedmanyaCatholic ofwell-meritedpromotion.

FarewelltoEurope.

Itissignificantthatwherevera strongmanhasarisentosweepout theAugeanstableofLiberalism,his firstacthasbeentodissolvetheLodges oftheGrandOrient.Andifthiswar isproductiveofnothingelse,ithasthis atleasttoitscredit,thatithasbanishedtheGrandOrient-atleasttemporarily-fromEurope.

TheSameDifference.

IknowthatthelateDukeofConnaughtdeclaredonbehalfoftheEnglishlodges,onAugust29,1938,that EnglishMasonrydoesnotknowany butitsownkindofMasonry.In viewoftheexcessesofContinental Masonry,itwasextremelyadvisable todiscounttheGrandOrientasalesser breedbeyondthepale.Butpriorto thepresentwarEnglishFreemasons stillofferedandacceptedthehospitalityoftheGrandOrientwhenabroad. Someevenbecamemembersofthem andoftheirsubordinateandaffiliated societies.SomethingmorethanverbaldenialsofMasonry'suniversalonenessandsolidaritywillberequiredto causetheChurchtoliftherbanfrom theLodges,themoresowhilethetwo mattersIhavediscussedaboveremainintegralpartsoftheMasonic fabric.

POLLSANDPROPAGANDA.

Perhapsitallarisesfromasuspiciousnature,butIcannotbringmyself totreattheAustralianPublicOpinion Polls(theGallupmethod)withany reverenceandsometimeswithanyrespect.Foronethingonewouldwant

CatholicActionintheSchools

FIRSTSECTIONOFPAPERREADBYFATHERHUSSEYATTEACHERS'CONFERENCE.

Rev.FatherHussey,whoactedas ChairmanfortheopenforumdiscussionsconcerningCatholicActioninthe schools,madethefollowingintroductoryremarks:Introduction.

Duringthepastfewweeks,inpreparationforthisConference,there havebeensomelengthydiscussions amongsttheseniorteachersinalarge numberofourmetropolitanprimary andhighschools.Thesedisaissions haveservedaveryusefulpurpose, eventhoughitwillbeimpossibleto dealinthispaperwithallthepoints thatwerebroughtforward.Ofthe generalimpressionscreatedbythepreliminarytalks,oneisoutstanding: Thereis,amongstourteachers,an abundanceof"divinediscontent."

Thosewhoknowtheschoolsrealise thattheteachershavereasonforconsiderablesatisfaction.Amongstthe teachersthemselves,however,thereis noevidenceofcomplacency.Onthe contrary,thereisaveryrealanxiety toimproveonpresentpractice.

Howcanwecreateinourchildrena greaterdesireforholiness?Howcan wemakethemmorepious?Howcan wearouseinthemastrongerpridein theirCatholicfaith?Howcanwe improveourpreparationoftheseboys andgirlstomeetthechallengewhich thesepresentdayshaveflungdownto thefaithandpietyofCatholicyouth? Howcanwedevelopinthemthatmilitantapostolicspiritwhichwillgivereal CatholiccrusaderstoAustralia?These arequestionswhichyou,mydear teachers,areconstantlyproposing.Of youranxietytofindtheanswersthere isnodoubt.

Moreover,thetypeofquestionwhich isbeingaskedpointstoarealisation ofthetruththattheproblemcentres aroundthedevelopmentofcharacter andthedirectionofconductrather thanaroundthemethodsofimparting knowledge.Thereisarealdesireto avoidwhatarecentpublicationcalls "educationfromtheearsup." Isthisdesirebeingrealised?Thisis thequestionwhichtheConferenceis facing.Itisaquestionoftremendousimportance.

ScopeofPaper.

Inthispaperthefirsttaskistodefineitsscope.Inthefirstplaceit mustberememberedthatthissession isafollow-onfromtheyesterday'smore importantsession,duringwhichpracticallecturesonthebuildingofcharacteroftheadolescentboyandgirl weregivenbyRev.Dr.McMahon.Yesterdayyoudealtwithmanyofthe questionsyouhavebeenasking,and someofwhicharementionedabove. Thismorning'ssession,however,isto taketheformofanopenforumonthe difficultproblemofCatholicAction withinthetwelve-plusgroupinour schools.

Thereisalinkbetweenthetwosessions,andtofixitinourmindswewill recallthewordsspokenbyPopePius XItotheCatholicAssociationsof Romein1931:"CatholicActionmust consistoftwothings:itmusthavetwo phases-notnecessarilysuccessiveones -twodivisions,idealandmoral

Aworkofformationfirstofall:formationofintelligence,ofwill,of thoughts,ofsentiments,ofactiveinitiatives,oftruthfulness,ofsanctity.CatholicActionmusthaveasitspreliminarytheindividualsanctificationof eachofitsmembers,sothatthesupernaturallifeaboundsandsuperaboundswithinthem....Butafterthis firstelementofformationcomesthe second:thedistributionofthislife, theActionoftheApostolate."

To-daywearetodealwiththesecondelement,theactionoftheapostolate.Inyesterday'sdiscussionthe accentwasonCatholic-thismorning theaccentisonAction.

ImportanceofCatholicAction.

IntheAppendixII.ofActaetStatutaSynodiArchidiocesanaePerthensis primaeitisstated:"ThecalltoCatholicActionisdirectedinaspecial waytoCatholicyouth.Theformationoftheyoungshould,therefore,be theprimaryconsideration.Inthis

workourReligiousTeachershavea uniqueopportunityofrenderingthe mostpowerfulassistance,fortheCatholicschoolsareindeedthenurseries ofCatholicAction."

Twopointsaremadeinthisstatement:First,thepowerofreligious teacherstorenderinvaluableassistance toCatholicAction.Secondly,the workintheschoolswillbemainlyof aformativenature.Thefirstpoint: Thispowerwhichyoupossesstorenderinvaluableassistancecarrieswithit aresponsibilitywhichisgrowingmore andmoreimportant.Weneednot dwellonthevitalimportanceofCatholicActionTheneedofthehour isthewillofGod.Itisobviousto allthattheneedofthehouristhelayapostle.AndthesummonstoCatholicActionissimplyacalladdressedto Catholicstheworldovertoawaken totheapostolicobligationsandpossibilitiesoftheirlives-tobecomeapostles.Thisisthetaskofourcentury. Tootherageshavebeengivenother duties.TosomeithasfallentodefendtheFaithagainstheretics.To others,thetaskofarmingtomeetthe Saracenwhothreatenedtooverrun Europe.Laterstillwasthestrifeof theReformationandthesubsequent laboursofTrenttosettheChurch's houseinorder.

To-day,thoughcontroversyhasnot ceasedandthetheologian'slaboursare stillnecessary,ourforemosttaskisto recovertheterritoryofeverydaylife andconsecrateitafreshtoGod.The home,factory,shop,office,club,dancehall,sports-ground-theseareto-day's fieldsoflabour.Tocarrythegrace ofGodintothisterritoryisthetask ofthelay-apostle.Webadlyneed theseapostlesandtheproblemofsupplyingthemconfrontstheschools.

Thesecondpoint-thattheworkin theschoolswillbemainlyofaformativenature-mustnotbeunderstood tomeanthatintheschoolsnoprogresscanbemadetothesecondpha theactionoftheapostolate.Strictly speaking,oneshouldnotspeakofprogressfromonephasetotheotherbecausetheworkofformationisachieved,atleastpartly,"throughaction."

Now,itisperhapsfortunatethatthis principleof"formationthrough action"islimitedinitsapplicationto theschools,becauseitisaprinciple thatcanbeeasilyover-worked.However,itisobviousthatsomeavenues ofapostolicactionmustbefoundfor ouryoungapostles.Otherwisethe apostoliczealthatwesucceedinarousingwilllanguishforwantofsomething toworkon.Itisnoeasytasktofind suitableavenuesofactionforboysand girlsatschool,buttheymustbefound ifwearetosucceedinourworkofformationforthelay-apostolate. TheProblem.

Themainproblemconfrontingus inthisdiscussion,therefore,istodiscoverwhatwecangiveadolescent boysandgirlstodo,inordertointroducethemtotheactiveranksofthe lay-apostolate.

Ofthemanyotherpracticalpoints whichyouhaveraisedinourpreliminarytalkswecandealnowwithonly two.Oneconcernsco-operationbetweentheschoolsandtheparishes;the other,theuseofdiscussiontechnique intheclass-room.Theimportanceof thesepointsandtheirrelationtothe mainproblembeforeusinthisses-

sionwillbecomemoreapparentaswe proceed.

Toclarifythetaskbeforeusthe discussionwillbedividedunderthe followingheads:

1.SchoolandParish.

II.:SchoolandAction.

IV.:DiscussionTechniqueinClassroom.

I.:SCHOOLANDPARISH.

Theparishistheprimaryunitinthe hierarchicalorganisationoftheChurch. Moreimportantstillinthiscontract, isthefactthattheparishisforthe faithfulthesourceofthesupernatural life-thenormalchannelofsacramentalgracewhichistheformativeinstrumentofCatholicAction.Duringboth schoolandpost-schoolyears,ouryoung peoplearemembersofsomeparish. Theobjectofthissectionofourdiscussionistoexaminewhetheryouare givingthisfacttheprominenceand attentionthatitshouldreceiveinthe schools.

IntheConferenceprogramme,the followingquestionsappear:Areour highschools,boardingandday,neglectingtoeducatetheirpupilstoparish consciousness?Aretheproductsof theseschoolsremarkablefortheirinterestintheirownparochialaffairs?

Admittingthattheparishisthemost importantcellintheorganisationof theChurch,havetheseschoolsgivenit theattentionitdeserves?Arethe schoolsocietiesahelporahindranceto theparochialsocieties?

Parishesreportthatnumbersofcollegeandhighschoolpupilsandexpupilswillnotjointheirownparochialsodalitiesandsocieties.Thisis particularlythecasewhereboysand girlsattend,orhaveattended,schools outsidetheirownparishes.Thisisa problemwhichmustbefacedsquarely. Ifasatisfactorysolutioncan'befound, it llhelpconsiderablytowardsthe soutionofanotherproblem-thatof post-schoolleakage. Toomuchoftheblamefortheexistenceofthisproblemisplacedupon theschools.Youwilladmit,however, thatmorecouldbedoneintheschools tobringhometoadolescentstheimportanceofbeingmembersoftheir ownparochialsodalities,andoftaking anactiveinterestintheirparishaffairs. Iamgoingtoaskyounowtoexpress yourviewsonthesematters.

(Thediscussionwhichfollowedwas toolengthytoreportinfull.Itleft nodoubt,however,oftheteachers anxietytoestablishcloserco-operation betweentheschoolsandtheparishes. Thefollowingresolutionswerepassed unanimously:

(1)Boys'Schools:Day-boysattendingschooloutsidetheirparishes,should beconsecratedmembersoftheJunior HolyNameSociety(orothersodality), notintheparishwheretheirschoolis situated,butintheirownparishes. Eachschoolshouldhaveaboyappointedtoactasprefectoftheboysfrom hisparish.

Thissystemisalreadyoperatingin manyparishes.

(2)Girls'Schools:Theteachers wouldwelcometheformationofsimilarjuniorsectionsintheSacredHeart Confraternity.
