the District of Columbia Court of

thorities of the school here. He will

will lecture on Corporation Law.
The appointment of Justice Van
Orsdel preserves the continuous re
lationship the Georgetown/School of
Law has had with the District ot
Columbia court since it was orga
nized in 1893. Two members of the
original court were lecturers at the
school for many years. Justice Van
Orsdel was appointed to the court
in 1907, after serving as First As
sistant Attorney General.
The Georgetown Law School will
open this year September 15 instead
of October 1, as formerly, to meet
the requirement of the American
Bar Association for longer courses.
George E. Hamilton, dean of the
law school and Prof. J. Hamilton
are in London attending the meet
ing of the American Bar Associa
tion. Hugh J. Fegan, assistant dean,
will have charge of the enrolling
of students in their absence. An
enrollment of 1.200 is expected by
the time the school opens.
NATION-WIDE , SURVEY
Cincinnati Archdiocese to Erect
Five New Catholic High Schools
Second Central High School in Cincinnati Among Those
Planned—Tuition Will Be Free, Parishes Uniting to
Meet Expenses of Running the Schools.
(By N. C. W. C. News Service)
Cincinnati, Ohio.—In a pastoral to
his priests and people Archbishop
Henry Moeller directs establishment
of high schools for Catholic boys
and girls in Chillicothe, Middletown,
Piqua and Springfield. A second
central high school for boys in
Cincinnati will also be established
as quickly as possible. Recently a
ten acre site as purchased in Day-
ton for a central high school in
that city.
After setting forth the value, of
higher education for boys and girls
under Catholic auspices, Archbishop
Moeller says in his letter:
“But the main purpose of the
present circular is to urge the faith
ful -of the Archdiocese to provide
for the Catholic education of their
children in Catholic high schools.
Wherefore, we direct that, in locali
ties where there is no Catholic high
school the moderators at the eccle
siastical conferences duly consider
whether the establishment of a high
school is feasible. A high school
in every parish is impossible. Con
sequently parishes ought to unite
in organizing and maintaining high
schools. Pastors who opine that
a central high school can be organ
ized in their locality should, through
the moderator of the conference,
refer the case to us for considera
tion and direction.'’

survey of boarding homes for girls,
both 'Catholic and non-Catholic, is

tion of the N. C. C. W. to'establish
such a bureau.
The survey is being made in co
operation with the Social Action De
partment, National Catholic Welfare
Conference, and when completed,

N. C.
The archbishop states that a cen
tral high school for boys has been
in existence in Hamilton for 25
years and that next September the
Sisters of Notre Dame will provide
the same advantage for girls.
The schools will he financed
through assessments to be paid by
the various parishes.
Tuition wiil he free in the sense
that the expense of the same is to
be paid pro rata by the parishes
interested. No tuition is to be col
lected from the pupils.
In outlining his plan for this en
largement of the secondary school
system under his direction Arch
bishop Moeller in his letter makes
the following statement:
‘‘We feel that we would be recre
ant to our sacred trust if we de
layed longer in insisting energetical
ly on the prompt opening of cen
tral Catholic high schools, where-
ever feasible in the archdiocese.
From the repeated utterance of
those whose authority every Catho
lic is obliged to respect, it is evi
dent that education and religion
should go hand in hand. This
principle should guide us not only-
in the training of children in the
grammar grades but also and even
more in the case of those in the
higher classes.”
The letter quotes the Bishop of
Brentwood, England, as follows: “A
Catholic education at fourteen and a
neutral education to the age of
eighteen is foreign to the teaching
and spirit and tradition of the
Catholic Church.”
In another part of his letter the
Archbishop says:
“The need to strengthen and safe,
guard the faith of the young is
surely an inspiring and compelling
motive which no Catholic can ig
nore. There is stronger reason for
hoping that the faitli of the children
will endure when deeply and firm
ly rooted in their hearts. This is
more thoroughly effected in theii
mature years. Before they enter
the high school, as a rule, they
simply memorize the salient truths
of our holy religion. Usually they
have not the mental ability to grasp
fully the proofs advanced in favor
of the divine truths nor have they
acquired the ability to answer the
objections of the enemies of the
Church; in a word they cannot give
a reasonable account of their faith.
And, in consequence when exposed
to the angry waves of unbelief and
infidelity, they will be in danger of
suffering shipwreck of their faitli.”
