FEBRUARY 1, W30 TBE BULLETIN OF THE CATHOLIC LAYMEN’S ASSOCIATION OF GEORGIA 11 BISHOP McDEVITT URGES LAITY TO AID MOVEMENT (Continued from Page 1) must have the support of the laity j whom it serves. I fthe beneficiaries • of the Catholic Press, the Catholic laity, do not apreciate, in a practical way, what Catholic papers stand for and labor to accomplish, the energy, ability,, devotion and self-sacrifice of editors and publishers cannot make Catholic papers a dominant‘influence in the spiritual and intellectual life of America. Cardinal Gasparn s Successor ! RELIG,0N j f. x. Dorr, Augustan, — SCHOOLS ALLEGED ! Dies Suddenly The Catholic Press asks layfolks , everywhere for their co-operation j and to this end urges that Catholic j organizations take the definite and j specific action of appointing Press Committees among their members. It will be the special function of these groups to aid editors and publishers in building up the circulation and advertising departments of the Ca tholic paper in every community. The greater the support Catholic papers receive, the better able are they to produce high-class publica tions. The_ assistance of the laity, so neces- j sary in enabling editors to produce a worthy Catholic Press should be given the more generously because a Catholic paper is not a mere com- . mercial and money-making under- j taking. Its high and noble purpose is to build up in every community re spect for the Church and her fol lowers, to correct misrepresentation of the Churchy her doctrines, prac tices and policies, to meet the at tacks of bigotry and prejudice, to appeal to intelligent, thoughtful peo ple everywhere, to create a right public opinion upon theories of life and practice that destroy faith and morality, and above all, to expound, defend and propagate Catholic truth and principles. The familiar words of the saintly Pope Pius X cannot be repeated too often: “In vain will you found missions and build schools, if you are not able to wield the offensive and defensive weapon of a loyal Catholic Press.” Bishop Beckman Is Named Archbishop (Continued from Page 1) ture that it would be a violation of the law to teach them in public schools. “The second question now remains: Is it a violation of the law to teach them in the seminary and give credit for them in the public schools? Whatever the legal technicalities of the case may be, such a procedure would appear to be highly inconsis tent and to be a violation of the spirit, if not tile letter of the law. To i some it might even appear to be an J evasion of the law, and the law eva- | sion has long been recognized as the ' most pernicious form of law viola tion.” “To most of the seminaries,” he , continues, “a considerable part of the j pupils are transported in trucks at public expense. It is true that there , is no added expense over that re quired to transport the pupils to the high school, but it is also true that the seminary benefits directly, to the extent of thousands of dollars, and therefore is supported in part by public funds. “For the sake of clearness a specific case may be cited. When a public school truck draws up between a school building on one side and a seminary building on the other and discharges its load, part of the pupils going to the school building for their first class and part going directly to the seminary, the situation is such as to justify a question as to its consti tutionality. ...” Tile report also states that the semi nary benefits directly from the public funds paid attendance officers, and declares that “quite generally Augusta Chronicle Editorial ly Laments Passing of Leading Citizen There AUGUSTA, Ga. — Frank X.
