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.'’ Of Girls’ Boarding Houses Being Made (By N. C. W. C. News Service) Washington, D.

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.” CREIGHTON UNIT WINS CUP AT FORT SHELLING (By N. C W. C.
