lew System Of Teaching
By Tape Recording Expands
To Include Eight Schools
BOOK REVIEWS
EDITED BY EILEEN HALL
3087 Old Jonesboro Road, Hapeville, Georgia
(N.C.W.C. News Service)
NEW YORK — A new system
of simultaneous, yet individual
ized, teaching by tape record
ings, which was begun experi
mentally about four years ago,
now embraces ten classrooms in
eight Catholic schools.
About 500 students in the
four-state network are taking
regular instruction by the meth
od which was started at a school
in Covington, La., by a com
munity of Benedictine Sisters.
Thus far, visible results from
the radically new technique
have included: reduction in the
amount of time a teacher must
devote to routine tasks; intens
ive stimulation of the pupil’s
thinking processes, and closer
attention to the individual stu
dent by the teacher, even in
large classes.
Information on the new sys
tem was disclosed here in a 24-
page pamphlet describing the
method and tracing its develop
ment. Entitled “Education’s Sil
ent Symphony,” the pamphlet
was written by Clifford J..
Laube, editor and textbook con
tributor. It was published by
Chas. B. Coates and Company,
Incorporated, 292 Madison Ave.,
New York 17, N. Y.
With release of the descriptive
booklet, Mother Alfred Schroll,
president of Mount St. Scholas-
tica College, Atchison, Kan., an
nounced that a grant-in-aid of
$40,000 from the Fund for the
Advancement of Education will
make it possible to carry on
further development of the sys
tem.
Although the technique was
inaugurated at St. Scholastica
Academy, Covington, La., its
Question
Box
(Continued From Page Four)
(The number and the kind of
Masses desired should be clear
ly defined.) One should also set
aside a certain amount for funer
al expenses, unless the matter
has already been taken care of
by other means.
CHARITY TO OTHERS be
gins at home, with the deserving
members of one’s family. A fa
ther, of course, is morally bound
to provide for wife and children
who need assistance for reason
able maintenance, according to
their station in life. In addition
to one’s immediate family, one
should then remember, accord
ing to his wishes, deserving rel
atives and friends.
No Christian will could pos
sibly be complete without be
quests to the Church and chari
ty. No follower of Christ could
possibly hope to justify a will
devoid of reference to Christ’s
Church, or to the members of
His Mystical Body, particularly
the poor.
THE FOLLOWING could be
considered, then: one’s own par
ish church and diocese; semi
naries for the priesthood; mis
sionaries and missionary organi
zations (e.g., the Society for the
Propagation of the Faith); in
stitutions of mercy, such as hos
pitals, orphanages, asylums for
the mentally ill, homes for the
aged; associations of mercy,
like the Diocesan Bureau of So
cial Service, the various St.
Vincent de Paul Societies; re
ligious houses, monasteries and
convents; institutions of re
search and learning; projects of
a humanitarian nature, like the
Cancer Fund; civic projects for
public improvement or reform,
like the Community Chest, etc.
ANY ORGANIZATION men
tioned in a will should be cited
according to its full, official, le
gal title.
(It goes without saying, of
course, that substantial bequests
made in behalf of pet animals,
or absurd enterprises, are un
worthy of a Christian.)
HAVING DRAFTED one’s
will in the rough, one should
consult a lawyer, or a person
specially trained in such mat
ters. Otherwise the will may
possibly be . invalid according to
civil law. The small fee a lawyer
receives for drawing up a will is
insignificant when weighed
against the advantages.
As regards an executor, fin
ally, one should select someone
who is both trustworthy and
conscientious, that all the stipu
lations of a will may be carried
out exactly as intended.
ONCE MADE a will can be
changed any time. The import
ant thing is to make one, for no
two facts are more certain than
that of death, and the uncertain
ty as to -when it will come.
growth has shown the need for
a coordinating center. St. Scho
lastica College, Atchison, has
been selected as the place where
reports on results from the eight
schools will be studied.
In essence, the system is based
on a classroom that is wired for
sound. The pupils’ desks have
jacks for headsets and the
teacher sits at a console which
plays recordings from playback
units.
Lessons on the tapes are grad
ed to three levels of learning,
and the teacher may direct any
lesson to a particular pupil or
group of pupils.
Variations from this basic sys
tem include allowing the teach
er to give personal attention, via
the pupil’s “private line,” to one
of her children who needs extra
help. This can be done without
interrupting the others.
Also, the teacher may take a
section of the class and work
with them without tape record
ings, while the remainder of the
class is uninterrupted.
The new system is aimed at
the twin problems of a shortage
of teachers and crowded class
rooms. The method is said to
offer a multiplication of the
teacher’s powers that will per
mit her to focus upon the in
dividual student, regardless of
class size.
According to Mr. Laube’s
booklet, the schools having tape
classrooms include: St. Scholas
tica Academy, Covington, fifth
through eighth grades on tape;
Mater Dolorosa School, New Or
leans, second grade, and remedi
al teaching on tape; Cathedral
School, Lafayette, La., eighth
grade.
Also, De La Salle Normal
School and Junior Novitiate of
the Christian Brothers, Lafay
ette, La., social sciences and
chemistry; Our Lady of Fatima
School, Lafayette, sixth grade;
Immaculate Conception School,
Grand Prairie, Texas, fourth
grade and reading clinic; In
carnate Word School, San An
tonio, first grade; St. Joseph
Cathedral School, St. Joseph,
Mo., third and sixth grades.
Theology for
The Layman
(Continued From Page Four)
never to find an object-worthy
of it?
We might say that God loves
Himself; but, whatever light
this might bring to the great
theologian, there would be
something a little depressing in
it for the average Christian: the
notion of God, solitary in eter
nity, loving Himself with all
His might would not stimulate
our own spiritual lives much.
And indeed mankind has al
most invariably found some
thing frightening in the solitary
God; it was to escape from that
fear that the pagans invented
their many gods. A God with
companions of his own sort was
not so frightening.
Their desire to find compan
ionship for God was a true in
sight; their solution was wrong.
It was left to Christ our Lord
to reveal to us that there is
companionship within the one
divine Nature — not a number
of Gods, but three Persons with
in the one God. It is in the
knowledge and love of the three
Persons that the divine life is
lived. And Christ our Lord
wants to admit us to the know
ledge of it.
As we read the Gospels, we
find Our Lord saying something
new about God — there are
hints and foreshadowings of it
the Old Testament, but certain
ly no statement. Alongside His
insistence that God is one, there
is a continuel referrence to
some sort of plurality. There is
no watering-down, of course, of
the strictest monotheism — Our
Lord quotes from the Old Test
ament “Hear, O Israel, the Lord
thy God is one God.” But there
is a new element of more-than-
oneness, which still leaves the
oneness utterly perfect.
Matthew (xi. 27) and Luke
(x. 22) give us one phrase: “No
one knoweth the Son but the
Father; and no one knoweth the
Father but the Son . . .”: here
are two persons put on one same,
level. “I and the Father are one”
(John x 30): they are two per
sons, yet one.
At the very end of St. Mat
thew’s Gospel, a third is brought
in, still within the oneness —
“Baptising them in the name of
the Father, and of the Son, and
of the Holy Spirit” — three per-

AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF ST.
THERESE OF LISIEUX, trans
lated by Ronald Knox (Kenedy,
$4.50).
During the month of June,
1897, a young French Carmelite
nun “spent long afternoons un
der the chestnut trees where her
invalid chair had been wheel
ed,” laboriously writing the fin
al pages of a manuscript which
was to become a spiritual class
ic, millions of copies, in various
languages, being circulated
throughout the world before
many years had passed.
The portion of the manuscript
which Sister Therese of the
Child Jesus finished three
months before her death was
the third of three separate ac
counts, all written under obedi
ence, which were assembled and
published as The Siory of a
Soul just a year later. Therese’s
autobiography, as first publish
ed, was drastically edited by her
sister, Mother Agnes of Jesus,
by Therese’s own authority.
“Anything you want to cut or
add to the notebook of my life,
it is as though I were myself
cutting or adding,” she had told
Mother Agnes. There were ex
cellent reasons why this was
done at the time of its first pub
lication.
Later, however, after the
young author had been canon
ized and her teaching, as set
forth in the autobiography, had
been proposed by four Popes to
the faithful for their imitation,
it became vitally important that
the unedited manuscript should
be made available. How this
was done, as well as other in
teresting details concerning the
writing of the story, is told in
the introduction to this edition,
by Father Francois de Sainte
Marie, O.C.D., who prepared
the facsimile edition of St. The
rese’s manuscript for publica
tion.
That French edition was ,
translated into English by Mon
signor Knox, who completed the
work only six weeks before his
death last August. The present
edition is the result. It will be
welcomed by St. Therese’s many
friends, and is likely also to
win new friends for her. The
three portions of her manuscript
have been returned to their
original form and chronological
order (the second and' third had
been reversed in previous edi
tions); omitted parts, comprising
about a quarter of the whole,
dealing principally with inti
mate details of the saint’s family
life, have been restored; all
changes made by Mother Agnes
and other editors have been
eliminated; and the beloved
young Carmelite’s own thought
is presented exactly. Nine pho
tographs illustrate the book.
THE MEDDLESOME FRIAR
AND THE WAYWARD POPE,
by Michael de la Bedoyere
(Doubleday, $4.00).
(Reviewed by Elizabeth Hester)
Suppose this: You are pre
sented with a priest who is in
the habit of running about de
manding that they look to their
sins (rather like some modern
evangelists), forecasting dire re
sults if repentance is not forth
coming, and then calling on God
with such remarks as “If I lie,
You lie too”; this man also uses
as part of his reform system an
army of children all under in
struction to run and tattle to
sons,- but with one name, one na
ture therefore since God names
things for what they are.
This combination of one and
more-than-one is most fully ev
ident in the four chapters —
fourteen to seventeen — in
which St. John tells of the Last
Supper. (Everyone who is tak
ing this course seriously should
read those chapters again and
again; there is no exhausting
their richness.) What is especial
ly to be noticed is a kind of “in
terchangeableness.”
Thus when Philip the Apos
tle says (John xiv. 8) “Let us
see the Father.” Our Lord an
swered: “'Whoever has seen me
has seen the Father.”
Similarly Our Lord says that
He will answer our prayer
(John xiv. 14) and that His Fa
ther will (John xiv. 23); that He
will send the Holy Ghost (John
xvi. 7) and that His Father will
(John xiv. 16).
In the doctrine of the Blessed
Trinity all these phrases fall
miraculously into place.
him the intimate details of their
parents’ lives. Grant to this man
no sins of the flesh. Secondly,
you are given a man who has
four acknowledged illegitimate
children, who is corpulent to a
degree suggesting habitual glut
tony, and who is also the Roman
Pontiff. Though he is not phys
ically ascetic, grant this man
great personal kindliness, rea
sonableness, pious humility, and
give him credit for being an able
administrator.
And ask yourself: Which is
the greater sinner?
Understandably, the Church
has canonized neither, although
for many years there has been
much agitation among certain
Dominicans for beatification of
the former. He was Savonarola,
a Friar who lived in Florence,
Italy in the last years of the
fifteenth century, and who was
hanged for his efforts to unseat
Alexander VI, the second man
described above. But though no
efforts have been made for the
beatification of Alexander VI,
there are many who think his
sins were less serious than Sa
vonarola’s. Alexander, they say,
was guilty neither of pride nor
presumption . . . but Savona
rola was.
Michael de la Bedoyere’s book
is beautifully written and is a
particularly outstanding bid to
give fair credit to each of his
so desperate characters. How
ever, the result is curiously
sketched. Nothing so complex,
it seems, can be done justice in
252 pages.
HOLY HOUR BOOKLETS
“I have a great desire to be
loved by men in the Sacrament
of My love,” Jesus complained
lovingly to St. Margaret Mary.
“Behold this Heart which has so
loved men that it has spared no
thing, even to the exhausting of
itself for them, and yet from the
greater number I receive only
indifference and contempt.” To
satisfy His great desire, He ask
ed for Holy Hours of reparation.
“Of all devotions,” said St.
Alphonsus Liguori, “that of
adoring Jesus in the Blessed
Sacrament is the most import
ant, inasmuch as, after the ac
tual reception of the sacraments,
it is the most acceptable to God
and the most advantageous to
ourselves.”
In his letter on the Sacred Lit
urgy, Pope Pius XII recom
mended the practice of the Holy
Hour. “This practice of adora
tion,” he said, “is based on
strong and solid reasons. For the
Eucharist is at once a sacrifice
and a sacrament; but it differs
from the other sacraments in
this, that it not only produces
grace, but contains in a perma
nent manner the Author of
grace Himself.”
Many religious societies and
associates have been formed for
the perpetual adoration of Our
Lord in the Blessed Sacrament.
Perhaps the best known of them
is the Society of .the Fathers of
the Most Blessed Sacrament,
founded in 1856 by Blessed Pet
er Julian Eymard, who also or
ganized the People’s Eucharistic
League for lay people. The Fa
thers of the Blessed Sacrament
make use of the apastolate of
the press to carry on the Eu
charistic apostolate in this coun
try. Among the many excellent
publications from their press
(The Sentinel Press, 194 East
76th Street, New York 21, N. Y.)
are a series of Holy Hour book
lets, including the following:
HOLY HOUR GUIDE, by Rev.
Lionel Vashon, S.S.S., 15c, ex
plaining what to do during the
Holy Hour; methods of prayer,
particularly Blessed Eymard’s
own “Method of the Four Ends
of Sacrifice”; how to meditate;
how to deal with distractions,
etc.
OUR CLASS VISITS JESUS,
written especially for children
by Father Vashon, 10c.
Seven 10-cent pamphlets “For
Your Holy Hour,” entitled:
Faith; Fraternal Charity; By the
Side of a Grave; Watch and
Pray; Institution of the Holy
Eucharist; Our Lady of the
Most Blessed Sacrament; The
Eucharistic Heart.
A series of leaflets, at 85c per
100, with such titles as “When
You Miss One Holy Commun
ion,” “Feed Your Soul Regu
larly,” “What Riches in a Single
Communion,” “Why Not Hear
Mass Every Day?”
Quantity prices are available
on all of these.
Some people are so busy fish

never land a single bit of suc
cess.
