St. Thomas College English Department Head Urges Catholic Institutions to Utilize Them CALIFORNIAN NEW BISHOP OF FRESNO (By N. C. W. C. News Service) ST. PAUL —The use of Catholic newspapers and magazines in the English classes of high schools was advocated at the annual convention of the National Catholic Educational Association, by Brother D. Joseph. F. S. C„ head of the English depart ment and professor of journalism at St. Thomas College, Scranton, Pa. “No study of high school English is complete unless a part of the text is given over to types of journalistic writing." said Brother Joseph. “Ir. fact,” he added, “even down in the elementary grades at least one lesson should be devoted to the study of newspapers and magazines.' “Our high school students.” he said, “need training in the reading of newspapers and periodicals. Secu lar papers and magazines should be considered, but. above all. the dio cesan newspaper and Catholic per iodxcals should be utilized in the English courses of our high schools. ‘Tf it is financially possible to have all the members of the class sub scribe -to a Catholic publication, do so. Perhaps it would be better to use the class funds to send in subscrip tions to several different publications These various copies could be placed on the bulletin board and used in English and other classes. “The April meeting of the Superin tendents Section of the N. C. E. A. brought to our attention the recipro cal relations between Catholic edu cation and the Catholic Press. Sure ly then. Catholic publications will fit into the educational programs of our Catholic schools. Once a year, the Catholic high schools could conduct an exhibit of Catholic periodical literature. Thus shall the interests of the Catholic press and Catholic education be promoted.” Bishop Scher Is Consecrated in the West (By N. C. W. C. News Service) FRESNO, Calif. — Six members of the Hierarchy, numerous distinguish ed monsignori and priests, and a large congregation of laymen, in cluding Tache and Tejon Indians, were present at the consecration and installation of the Most Rev.

Daniel J Gercke, Bishop of Tucson. , Anglican Archbishop Quotes Cardinal 9 s Defense of Jews (By N. C. W. C. News Service) LONDON — The Anglican Arch bishop of Canterbury, Dr. Cosmo Lang, quoted the late Cardinal Man ning when speaking at a protest meeting here against the activity against Jews under the new regime m Germany. Cardinal Manning’s words were spoken 51 years ago when the Cardi nal was protesting against the treat ment of Jews in Russia. Cardinal Manning said, as quoted by Arch bishop Lang; “The laws of humanity, of nature, and of Cod are the foundation upon which ail other laws are based, and if, in any legislation, these are vio lated, all other nations of Christian Europe, and indeed of the whole commonwealth of civilized man, would instantly acquire a right to speak aloud." Lord Iddesleigh, who was received into the Church a few years ago, was the Catholic spokesman at the meeting, at which a nonconformist minister also spoke. Lord Iddesleigh said he spoke in no spirit of hostility to Germany or its National Socialist Government. “We have heard of a large num ber of high-handed and arbitrary interferences with the freedom and property of individuals, against whom no definite accusation is brought. Most of them are Jews, though Catholic priests and other persons have also been the victims. “If these were merely the work of hotheads in the party we would be content to remind Herr Hitler of the need for discipline among his followers. But there appears to be official encouragement for many of these attacks”. Lord Iddesleigh said one of the worst of modern heresies is the wor ship of the state. Intoxicated by their own powers modem rulers for get the rights of communities, he said. CATHOLIC WRITERS DRAWN FROM SCHOOLS Brother Joseph also spoke of the opportunity in high schools of “steer ing our young writers toward the field of the Catholic newspaper and magazine.” “Let them understand,” he urged, “that the Catholic Press can place them as successful writers, and that they have a mission to place the Catholic Press ever forward on the road of progress. The teachers of English should assist the promising writers in making the necessary con tacts with the diocesan paper and the Catholic periodicals. In the past much talent has gone astray be cause there was no helpful guide to direct it into the. noble fraternity of Catholic writers." Every high school ought to have one or more publications of its own. a newspaper, a magazine and a year book, even if typewritten or mimeo graphed, Brother Joseph said. He urged “simple and dignified forms” rather than “elaborate schemes.” "‘It is altogether proper to stress the fact,” he added, “that Catholic and non-Catholic readers expect Catho lic scholastic publications to give evidence of their Catholicity.” In conclusion, he urged an increas ed membership in the Catholic School Press Association.

C. for their stirring ‘Statement on the Pres ent Crisis,’ ” and noted with a speci'l satisfaction the sections devoted to the purpose and aims of Catholic edu cation.” Still another resolution urged “that the schools and colleges 'comprising the National Catholic Educational As sociation once more proclaim to the world the glorious heritage of the truth of the religion of Christ and the greatness of its own mission to in corporate into the -Catholic consci ousness the knowledge and beauty of Catholicism both as a creed and as a culture, and that we once more con secrate ourselves to the task of moulding the souls of all Catholic youth to the image and likeness of the Son of God.” Pointing to the fact that “the na tion is now entering upon a social revolution that will profoundly modi fy the relations of government with industry and introduce into industry standards of morality that are new to it.” the association “as a group of citizens and Catholics” urged the proper and just ordering of so ciety,” and pledged “its constant study for a realization of its responsibility iri and action to the end that this so cial-economic revolution be conduct ed with due regard to the rights of all classes of society.” The asso ciation also felicitated President Roosevelt “upon his constant insist ence upon this ideal of social justice and the introduction of morality in industrial relations,” and pledged its “earnest efforts in co-operation with him that a return to prosperity be accomplished without a return to the evils that have disgraced our civili zation in the past.” To counteract the evil forces con stantly undermining the ideal of the home arid “to give concrete expres sion to the principles and ideals enunciated by our Holy Father, Pope (Continued on Page Six) Readers Urged to Promote Catholic Press Advertising (By N.

This campaign for Catholic readers' co operation is to become nation-wide and advertisers will be told about it. “This movement is of interest to the laity. It can visualize what a strong instrument of the instruction and defense our Catholic Press can be if it receives its share of the mil lions spent for advertising. “Our loyal laity can help bring these advertising millions to our pa pers by adding to the good reputa tion of our Catholic publications as valuable media for advertisers"
