' CHARLESTON, S. C..—The Most
Rev. Emmet M. Walsh, D. D., Bishop
of Charleston, has announced that the
Religious-Vatican Schools and Reli-
fious Vacation School camps will be
continued again this summer. In a
pastoral letter to the pastors and peo
ple of mission churches in the dio
cese of Charleston, Bishop Walsh said:
‘Tt is our desire to have all chil
dren living in mission parishes at
tend a vacation-school during the
summer months in those parishes
where there are enough children for
a day vacation-school. Two sisters
Will be assigned to teach day vaca
tion-schools. We feel that in making
these provisions for vacation-school
training for the mission children that
there will be no excuse for mission
children lacking fairly satisfactory in
struction.”
ceive Holy Communion with all their
staff officers. At nine o’clock they
go to their classes. They assist at
Benediction at intervals and sing a
High Mass before leaving camp. They
are taught doctrine, moral, liturgy,
hymnology, and history of the
Church. One generation of children
has already been prepared in the
camps.
The children are given ample
recreation, namely, swimming,
fishing, crabbing, boating and movies.
The play of the children is directed
by Miss Alicia Baran of Savannah,
Ga., one skilled in the art of hand
ling children’s play. Every detail of
camp life has been scrupulously
worked out and only officers are de
tailed to camp who are accomplished
in their various works. The water is
inspected by the county health de
partment before the camp is erect
ed, and after. The tents are large,
provided with flies and pitched on
high-drained ground. The bathing is
thoroughly supervised. The food is
the best and prepared by skilled
cooks. The work of the doctor and
the nurses is not merely to take care
of the few who fall by illness or ac
cident, but to inculcate laws of health.
There will be religious vacation-
schools taught by the Sisters of Our
Lady of Mercy of Charleston, at An
derson, Georgetown and Spartanburg.
Camp St. Mary’s, near Bluffton, S.
C., will open its sessions under the
direction of the Rev. Henry F. Wolfe,
chancellor of the diocese on June 30,
aud the Up-State Camp, under the
direction of the Rev. Sydney F.
Dean, assistant pastor of St. Mary’s
Church. Greenville, will open about
July 13.
A standard religious vacation school
Is an organized school of religion,
conducted during the forenoon, five
days a week, or three or four weeks,
during the period of the school vaca
tion. It is an agency of comprehensive
religious education, and not of mere
formal religious instruction. It is de
signed especially for children who
cannot attend a Catholic School. The
need of religious vacation schools is
most obvious where there is nq parish
schools and where the children do not
come in contact with Sisters. The
place where the school is held
naturally depends upon circum-
stahees. especially upon the number
of children to be cared for. The
. church, or rooms connected with the
church serve admirably. The avail
ability of the Blessed Sacrament for
devotions, of the organ for music,
and of the church grounds for recrea
tion, makes it a desirable place.
The purpose of the vacation-school
camps is to provide a place for In
struction for children who cannot on
account of distance attend a vacation-
school proper or who form so small
a unit far from the mission church
that such children cannot be instruct
ed anywhere but in a place like a
camp. Two camps have been erected,
one in the lower part of the state to
serve children in that section and an
other in the up-country to serve chil
dren in that vicinity.
The vacation-school camps are not
places of recreation, but schools for
religious instruction. For this pur
pose have they been established and
for this purpose alone are they main
tained. Anyone who has visited one
of these tented communities pitched in
the shadow of the Blessed Sacrament
knows that these children attend
class from nine in the morning to
one in the afternoon, and again from
four to five in the afternoon. During
this entire time they are instructed
in their religion. Usually there are
about 125 children ranging in age
from seven to 18 years. They are
taught by Sisters and seminarians of
the diocese presided over by the Rev
erend Director.

The vacation-school camps of the*
Diocese of Charleston have become-
well-known throughout the country
and have been copied in some plac s,
where conditions similar to that of
the diocese of Charleston prevail. The
public is encouraged to visit the
camp and to observe the work and
draw its own conclusions.
During this time when the vacation-
schools and vacation-school camps
are about to open, the people of the
entire diocese take an active interest.
It is a work that is receiving the
whole-hearted attention and apprecia
tion of the clergy and the people. In
the Cathedral parish six weeks before
the camp opens staple groceries and
canned goods are brought by the
parishioners for the camp. This has
been imitated in various other
parishes of the diocese. The members
of the Diocesen Council of Catholic
Women do their share, and the
Knights of Columbus as well, to help
the Bishop, his priests and people in
this work.
The success of the vacation-schools
and vacation-school camps is most
gratifying. The children reflect in
their lives the training they receive.
Bishop Walsh and his clergy receive
many expressions of satisfaction and
gratitude from the children and par
ents of the missions for their work In
developing in this manner Catholic
life and practice.
