CASH VALUE OF GRADUATE STUDIES
JOSEPH BREIG
WHY NOT BE A RICH SOUL?
As every American Catholic
knows — even if he knows lit
tle else about his religion —
this is “the month of the poor
souls.” And if you are a typical
Catholic American, at some
time in this
month you
have said to
some one, or
to yourself:
“Well, if I
make it to
purgatory, I’ll
be satisfied.”
The state
ment is so common among us
as to be nearly tiresome. Every
body accepts it; or at least no
body challenges it. And yet it
js an unthinking saying, filled
with psychological and theolog
ical pitfalls.
For one thing, you will em
phatically not be satisfied if
you make it to purgatory. As
long as you are there, you will
be more profoundly dissatisfied
—to put it mildly — than you
have ever been in your life, or
have even imagined you could
be.
In the dim spiritual light in
which we live in this world, ab
sorbed in distracting activities
and material things, we miss
the direct company of God only
vaguely. Some of us think
about Him so little that we
think we hardly miss Him at all.
Others, however, will tell you
that a day without Mass and
Communion seems empty. That
is one reason they are in church
each morning, even at the cost
of considerable effort.
These people have a kind of
faint foretaste of Heaven. They
feel in some small measure the
burning longing for God which
in the souls in purgatory, freed
from earthly concerns, is at
white heat.
We in America — and per
haps Catholics generally around
the world — are keenly con
scious of the “poor souls.” That
is why we arrange for so many
requiem Masses for the repose
of their souls — and so few
Masses simply to thank and
praise God.
Conversely, it seems to me
that we are not nearly conscious
enough of the power of the
Mass and the sacraments for
our own perfection here on
earth. These two factors cause
us to say we’ll be satisfied with
attaining purgatory.
But this is a mistake. It sets
our spiritual sights too low, and
I think tends to encourage a
kind of sloth. No Catholic
should aim at purgatory; every
Catholic should aim at Heaven
—Heaven the instant of death.
Once you select that for your
objective, your attitude chang
es. Mediocrity in the spiritual
life no longer is your measure
of excellence. You begin to cast
about for means by which you
can go up higher.
Appreciation for the power of
the Mass, the sacraments, the
sacramentals and the devotions
of the Church grows in you.
The keys to the kingdom of
Heaven, given to Peter, mean
much more to you than former-
iy.
Gradually, you realize that
the Church possesses those
keys, and has the power, with
your cooperation, to sanctify
you in such fashion that it is
not impossible, but perfectly
possible, for you to be a saint.
More and more you come to
understand that Christ, with an
infinite desire, wants you to at
tain sanctity and to come into
His presence the moment your
work on earth is done. You see
Him as friend, not as severe
Judge. a «
His love for you—which is
a boundless love, huge, gigan
tic, overwhelming — begins to
be felt by you. And you start
to return it. You live in love of
goodness, not in fear of sin. A
tremendous change takes place
in you.
You are then on the right
track; you are heading for the
destiny God decreed for you —
and died to help you achieve.
And as a practical step, why not
study up on the power of the
sacrament we call Extreme
Unction — the sacrament some
of the saints described in the
words, “the anointing unto glo
ry.”
Theology
For The
Layman
(F. J. Sheed)
At the Last Supper Our Lord
uttered the words which are at
once the formula of our re
demption, and the charter of
His Church. “I am the way and
the truth and the life. No man
cometh unto
the Father
but by me.”
It is possi
ble to have
known and
loved the
phrase all
one’s life, yet
not given
much actual mind to what it
contains; there is so much
splendour in the saying, that
one may fail to grasp what is
being said. To anyone whose
experience this has so far been,
it will be valuable to pause now
and make his own examination
of those superb words, before
going on to read mine.
A first thought may be of
wonder why, if Our Lord is the
Way, there is need for more:
why are Truth and Life added?
If He is the Way, when you
have found Him, you have
found all. But the two addi
tional words are there to chal
lenge us. With them we are face
to face with a reality at once
frightening and stimulating. It
is the reality St. Paul expressed
—“Work out your salvation
with fear and trembling.” (Phil.
2.12).
Salvation is not handed to us
on a platter: in no sense is it a
labor-saving device. What Christ
does for men is what men can
not do for themselves, not what
they can: what they can, they
should. To have found the Way
is not the end, it is the begin
ning. The Way is not the Goal.
Only the Goal is, for us, per
manence: the Way may be lost.

Question
Box
By David Q. Liptak
Q. "Newsweek" magazine re
ported recently on a panel dis
cussion as to whether or not a
doctor should forewarn a dying
person of the imminence of
death. This brought another
question to mind. If a doctor
failed to warn a dying person
in this matter, who would be
responsible? I remember a case
in which an elderly woman re
mained in danger of death for
some lime, yet no one would
tell her about her condition, for
fear of disturbing her. The doc
tor kept telling her husband and
family that it was not necessary
to call in a priest right away,
and none of them would take it
upon themselves to have her
anointed. They just kepi on
telling her that she would get
better. But suddenly she went
into a coma, and by the time
the priest arrived, she had al
ready died. Weren't the doctors
and her family guilty of grave
deceit?
A. There is no condemnation
severe enough for deceiving a
dying Catholic to such a degree
that he dies before having had
the opportunity to prepare his
soul and receive the last sacra
ments. Such deceit involves an
injustice that cannot possibly be
repaired in the ordinary sense.
Any sincere physician—Cath
olic as well as non-Catholic—
who is properly informed about
the significance of the last sac
raments will not hesitate to
forewarn his patient, either di
rectly or indirectly, of the dan
ger of death, so that the dying
person may ready himself spi
ritually while consciousness re
mains. This warning need not
be explicit, Thus, a doctor
might choose to tell the fam
ily that a priest should be called
in to see the patient, or that the
patient should be anointed. In a
hospital, the doctor’s placing of
a patient on the “critical” list
frequently indicates that the
latter is in danger of death. (In
a Catholic hospital, of course,
and in all other hospitals to
which a Catholic chaplain is as
signed, all such “critical” cases
will be investigated by a
priest.) Unfortunately, though,
the interpretation of “critical”
varies with hospitals — in some
institutions it means that a pa
tient is extremely close to death.
In the event that a physician

SHARING OUR TREASURE
KINDNESS TO LONESOME GIRL
LEADS TO CONVERSION
By REV. JOHN A. O'BRIEN, Ph. D.
(University of Notre Dame)
Do you want to win a soul
for Christ? If so, there’s a simple
technique of doing so. Start
with some act of kindness, con
tinue your kindness, and soon
the person will want to know
more about
the religion
which prompts
such good
ness. That will
give you the
opportunity of
e x p 1 aj i n ing
your holy
Faith and
ultimately of bringing the per
son to a priest for instruction.
This is illustrated by the ex
perience of Bernadette L. Rog
ers, 2362 North Villere St., New
Orleans, who has helped to lead
nine into the Church. “I was
working in the adjutant gen
eral’s office in Washington,
D. C.,” said Bernadette, “and
living in Midway Hall with
about 500 girls of various faiths
or no faith. In the dining room
I noticed a girl who was near
ly always eating alone. She
seemed somewhat shy and
aloof.
“So one evening I went over
to the little table at which she
was seated, and asked if I
might join her. She welcomed
me and introduced herself as
Maudelle Reddick from St.
Louis. We soon became good
friends and I found that
Maudelle was lonesome, home
sick and hungry for companion
ship. I brought her with me to
a bingo party where she had
a good time and met many
people.
“Father Thomas Burke, S.S.J.,
said Mass on Sundays in the
large recreation room of our
Hall and I invited Maudelle to
go with me. She was glad to do
so, and was greatly impressed
by the large number of girls in
attendance, by their devotion
and by the carefully reasoned
sermon. Fortunately Father an
nounced he was about to start
an Inquiry Class and invited all
interested persons, Catholics or
non-Catholics, to attend.
“This was just what was need
ed to capitalize on Maudell’s
interest. She was eager to at
tend, and to help her feel more
at ease I went with her. ‘I’m

bringing you a sinner,’ I said
in jest as I introduced her to
Father. ‘Sinners or not,’ retort
ed Father, ‘you and Maudelle
are most welcome.’ In a kind
and friendly manner Father ex
plained the establishment of the
Church by Christ and the
bestowal of authority to teach
all nations in His name.
“When Maudelle learned that
the Catholic Church could trace
its origin back to Christ and her
list of popes back to the Apostle
Peter, the first pope, 15 cen
turies before a single Protestant
sect saw the light of day, she
was mightily impressed. Like
most non-Catholics she had im
agined in a vague way that all
the Christian Churches came
from Christ. But citing the
exact dates and places where
the leading Protestant denomi
nations began shattered that
illusion.
“As there were about a dozen
others present, Maudelle soon
felt at home. Any who had ques
tions were invited to remain af
ter the lecture so Father could
answer them without detaining
the entire group. Persons who
are not sure they will embrace
the Faith hesitate to come
alone to a rectory and take so
many hours of a priest’s time,
but they will gladly come to a
public Inquiry Class. When
such classes are held twice a
week in every parish the num
ber of converts will be doubled
or tripled.
“Upon the completion of the
instructions Maudelle along
with the others was baptized
and made her first Holy Com
munion. Radiantly happy, she
told her brother about her won
derful discovery and now he,
too, is a Catholic.”
“Yes,” I said, “and it all be
gan with your little act of kind
ness to a lonesome girl.”
Father O’Brien will he grate
ful to readers who know of any
one who has won two or more
converts if they will send the
names and addresses of such per
sons to him at Notre Dame Uni
versity, Notre Dame, Indiana.
DETERMINATION
Salt is a good preservation,
but it takes a lot of sand to
keep a good resolution.
“Let me not die before I’ve
done for Thee
My earthly work, whatever
it may be;
Call me not hence with
mission unfulfilled,
Let me not leave my space of
ground untilled.
Impress this truth upon me—
that not one
Can do the portion that I
leave undone.”

• "A TEACHER AFFECTS
eternity. He can never tell
where his influence stops.”
Think about those words of
Henry Adams. Education has
suddenly boomed into becom
ing America’s number-one topic
of discussion. One out of every
four Americans sits behind a
classroom desk. The other three
debate, criticize and read about
education. Then there is the
teacher who is often ignored in
the sound and fury of debate.
If you ask me who today’s he
roes are, I say those who de
spite unattractive obstacles, se
lect the field of teaching. There
must be something noble about
those who pass up the well-
paid areas of business and in
dustry to step into the public
arena to teach. There is little
natural reward here. In the
public school system, the teach
er is the target of the great tax-
paying public. On a college lev
el, there is the board of trustees
and the powerful alumni. And
there is always the critical stu
dent! They are with us to the
end. Teaching then is a voca
tion in the strictest sense of the
word. One must have an ele
ment of dedication and sacrifice
to dare to be a teacher. Padraie
Pearse, the great Irish patriot,
scholar, martyr, said: “I thought
it a wondrous thing to be a
teacher. I gave the little ones
I taught the very breath and
soul of my body.” I do not be
lieve that any one goes into the
teaching field primarily for any
personal gain or selfish reason.
I think by their very profession,
teachers are people apart in this
world of getting and spending.
* * *
• TODAY'S TEACHER
needs to have the abilities of a
circus performer and television
entertainer to hold his audienc
es and student ratings. He must
be a quiz contestant with all an
swers supplied. He must some
how make today’s Madison Av
enue-geared youth interested in
thinking, with no money, pleas
ure, fame immediately involv
ed. It is a thankless job. This is
perhaps why we have so few
real scholars in America today.
Today’s generation has lost its
power to concentrate and dig
deeply. We live too much on the
surface. We spend our energies
on those things, hardly worth
having. Scholarship and spirit
uality can trace their unpopu
larity and dearth to the same
source. It takes heroic virtue to
be a student today even as it
does to be a teacher — and
a saint!
To digress for a moment.
When Charles Van Doren was
at his television peak of quiz
fame, teachers gloried in point
ing out his accomplishments to
students. He was an attractive
example of scholarship. He was
an advertisement for study. Un
happily young Van Doren while
possessing knowledge—and an
swer's, lacked wisdom. One so
ciology professor has pointed
out that if Van Doren had been
paid adequately as a college in
structor, he might not have
been tempted to accept answers
and prizes. However, the moral
ist says that Van Doren’s per
sonal integrity should have dic
tated. It is strange, too, that a
university would fire Van Do
ren when it keeps exposed
Communists, atheists, adulter
ers and those who might not
have the best influence on
youth. Intellectual whited-
sepulchres!
• THERE HAS BEEN much
discussion on what constitutes
the ideal teacher, the great
teacher. My students in their
lofty moments say that they
want a teacher who makes them
think, who makes them reach
high until their mental muscles
ache. They want fair teachers,
teachers who know and love
their subject and are able to
communicate that knowledge
and love as painlessly as possi
ble to them. However, it would
seem that they would like to
be entertained while the pain
ful process of education is going
on. One priest-educator has
written that the great teacher
is the one you cannot remem
ber personally, you only re
member what he said. Why
does anyone become a teacher
today? I think he becomes a
teacher because he realizes that
youth is the finest investment,
that there is a human challenge
here. There are no worldly
plaudits, there is usually criti
cism from the inside and out
side. St. Thomas More says
that there is no greater charity
you can perform than to impart
knowledge to another. Some
how you have brought a human
soul a little further along the
road to final destiny where she
can learn from the only Teacher
Who knows everything. The
teacher indeed affects eternity!

THE BACKDROP
A commonly accepted as
sumption is that the higher ac
ademic degrees — Master of
Arts and Doctor of Philosophy
—are keys to success mainly in
the field of education.
That a
graduate de
gree is essen
tial to ad
vancement in
the teaching
profession is
not to be de
nied. More
and more un
iversities and colleges, as the
years pass, are closing the door
to the higher ranking and better
paying faculty appointments to
teachers who lack a higher de
gree. In many colleges a teach
er must have a Doctor of Phi
losophy degree to advance to
the rank of full professor, or
even to assistant or associate
professor.
CHEMISTRY FIGURES
But teaching is not the only
profession which puts a prem
ium on advanced study. No less
than the universities and the
colleges, industry and govern
ment today are demanding ad
vanced degrees as a prerequi
site for the more responsible
jobs in their plants and re
search laboratories.
A recent survey of employ
ment of chemists and chemical
engineers, outside of university
class rooms, showed that start
ing salaries for inexperienced
graduates in both fields was
much greater for the holders of
advanced degrees than for those
possessing only a bachelor’s de
gree.
The median starting salary
for chemistry graduates hold
ing a bachelor’s degree in 1959
was $450 a month, for holders
By JOHN C. O’BRIEN
of a master’s degree’s $525 a
month, and for holders of a
Ph.D degree $700 a month.
Starting salaries for graduates
in chemical engineering were
somewhat higher than for grad
uates in chemistry — $490 a
month for bachelors, $560 a
month for masters and $725 a
month for doctors.
The survey also showed that
the holders of the higher de
grees advanced to positions of
greater responsibility and high
er pay much faster than those
with only a bachelor’s degree.
Rarely, in fact, do bachelors
proceed beyond the routine jobs
in their profession. They reach
their maximum earning power
relatively early and then re
main at a standstill.
While many college students
fail to realize in college the cash
value of a higher degree in in
dustrial or government employ
ment, the number who do has
been increasing. In 1957, for
example, some 15 per cent of
Bachelor of Science graduates
indicated that they were going
into graduate study. By 1958,
the proportion had risen to 26
per cent and by 1959 to 31 per
cent.
These figures point up the in
creasing emphasis which seems
to be developing toward the at
tainment of a graduate degree
in chemistry before seeking
full-time employment. Students
are beginning to realize those
chemists and chemical engi
neers who have graduate de
grees not only received better
starting salaries but have the
best long-range improvement
potential.
PART TIME JOBS
So great is the importance at
tached to graduate study by
employers in industry that
many firms have initiated part-
time employment programs for
holders of bachelor’s degrees
who wish to continue their stu
dies. Such employment provides
the students with sufficient
funds to defray a large part of
the cost of their graduate stu
dies.
According to the survey, the
median salaries paid part time
students ranges from $187 a
month for bachelors in chem
istry to $200 for masters. Bach
elors in chemical engineering
were paid on the average, $200
a month, while masters were
paid $210.
Because of the higher salaries
paid by industry, an increasing
proportion of graduates in
chemistry and chemical engi
neering have been accepting in
dustrial employment in prefer
ence to teaching. This is par
ticularly true of bachelors in
chemical engineering, of whom
88 per cent go to work for in
dustrial firms. And more than
half of those who attain the
Ph.D degree and nearly 63 per
cent of those holding bachelor’s
degree in chemistry also accept
industrial jobs.
The conclusion students spe
cializing in science and engi
neering apparently should draw
from the survey of the chemists
is that, if they wish to reach
the top in their profession, they
must no longer consider their
education completed on the
commencement day when they
receive their bachelor degrees.
The scope of scientific know
ledge has been so widely ex
panded in the last few years
that four years in college is suf
ficient only for mastering the
elements of a scientific special

GOLD STAMP FOR
ETERNITY
The man of the hour is the
husband whose wife told him to
wait a minute (ancient Aztec
proverb).
Seriously, have you ever stop
ped to figure the cost of the
phrase, “Wait a minute?” If
you’re making $5,000 a year, ev
ery minute you have to wait
costs nearly five cents. At $10,-
000 a year, this figure doubles
to nearly 10 cents a minute.
And, if you should reach the
$100,000 a year category, your
minutes will each be worth one
dollar.
By this reckoning, it’s all
right to tell me to wait a min
ute. It’s only a penny’s worth of
time.
Benjamin Franklin, sounding
very much like my father try
ing to get me up on a wintry
morn for sixth-grade suffering,
once said: “Up, sluggard, and
waste not life; in the grave will
be sleeping enough.” Cheerful
thought.
It’s true, though. Stealing or
wasting or “killing” time are
among our most deplorable
habits. Not that this is a plug
for the old puritanical notion of
work, work, work. Recreation
and relaxation are tonics for
soul as well as for body. They’re
every man’s right. But they are
far from the idea of sheer waste
of the precious commodity.
At times we all moan that we
lead a dog’s life. Maybe. But
it’s a sure bet we often lead a
cow’s life. A University of Cali
fornia scientist, evidently with
nothing better to do, figured
that the average grazing cow
takes 60 bites a minute, chews
her cud for 7 hours a day and
lies down for 12 hours a day.
If you don’t think we’re cow
like (not to be confused with
cow-lick), just consider these
statistics. If God granted us 70
years of life, it would be dis
tributed in this way: 16 years
spent in education, 5 years in
amusements, 5 years at the din
ner table, 4 years in transpor
tation, 4 years in conversation,
13 years in work, 3 years in
reading, and 20 years in sleep
ing.
How much time would we
give God? If we went to Mass
every Sunday and prayed for
five minutes every morning and
evening, we’d give five months
to God. Five months out of 70
years of life!
The moral of the statistical
story is obvious. We all can give
much more time directly to our
Lord in prayers and devotions.
Yet there’s more to the lesson.
Glance at all the time we spend
sleeping and slaving and gab
bing. Surely this time should
Father Whartaata
View
trow the Rectory
!l J
also be given to God if we’re
going to collect gold stamps for
eternity.
St. Paul put it something like
this: Whether we eat hot dogs
or go fishing or prepare a fi
nancial report, we should do
everything for the glory of God.
These everyday actions are
made pleasing to God by our
intentions.
The housewife, for example,
stares at the dirty dishes, the
soiled diapers and muddy floors.
What can she do to make them
more than just dishes and dia
pers and floors? She can turn
them into those gold stamps for
heaven by washing them gen
erously, and washing them for
God. If she uses this certified
gold-stamp method, she can
make everything she does a
prayer.
There’s another way to make
every moment of our life count.
That is by living each one. Too
often we spend our time in the
past or the future.
After all, what is the past? It
doesn’t really exist. Nothing we
do or think will change it a bit.
Neither is the future any more
real. All we have to work with
is now, the present moment.
Our good Lord doesn’t expect
us to change the past. We can’t.
Nor does he command us to be
holy tomorrow. It’s today, now,
in the present that our Savior
wants good use of the time He
sends us. When He said, “Suf
ficient for the day is its own
evil,” that’s what He was talk
ing about. The only real time
is now.
The saints understood this
and acted on it. For many of
them, the past was a mess and
the future was pretty uncertain.
But they realized that they
couldn’t work on past or future;
time meant here and now. So
they said their prayers, scrub
bed their clothes and darned
their socks with the thought
that the time would never come
again. It was easy, they figured,
to make this minute golden by
offering it to God.
For most of us, anyway, life
is but a succession of these lit
tle, apparently unimportant
moments. When eternity calls,
the life we present as our tick
et to heaven will be nothing but
these small minutes. But they
add us to a holy life if we live
all of them, and live them for
God.
To mention the ladies again,
home research experts say that
the average housewife washes
two and a half million cooking
and eating utensils in her life
time. This makes about 70
stacks as high as the Empire
State Building.
It’s up to the average house
wife — and to all of us — to
make these efforts pay divi
dends for heaven through our
appreciation of time. Otherwise,
they’re just water down the
drain.
