NOTRE DAME PRIZES
FOR PRESS LETTERS
Bureau of Inquiry Also Es
tablished at University
(By N. C. W. C. News Service)
NOTRE DAME. Ind. - Need for
constructive criticism of the daily
press is being emphasized at the Uni
versity of Notre Dame by the offer
ing of awards to students sending the
best letters of correction or commen
dation to newspaper editor.
Originator of the idea is Richard
Reid, editor of The Bulletin, Augus
ta, Ga., who recently completed a
series of lectures at Notre Dame on
“Newspaper Morality’’.
Notre Dame students are asked to
read their newspapers with a criti
cal eye, to be alert in detecting false,
misleading or incomplete newspaper
items and to be appreciative of edi
torial excellence.
Sound reasoning, constructive abil
ity and good writing will be the fac
tors governing the selection of the re
cipients of the prize money.
The first awards will be made on
April 15 of next year.
Stimulation of the critical faculties
of Notre Dame students received an
other impetus recently when the Notre
Dame Bureau of Inquiry was estab
lished. An increasingly widespread
demand for answers to religious ques
tions indicated by the heavy volume
of requests mailed to the daily Relig
ious Bulletin, published at Notre
Dame, convinced university authori
ties of the need of a bureau where
people throughout the country might
find answers to their religious and
moral problems.
The bureau is staffed by graduate
and undergraduate students and all
the academic and religious facilities
of the university are available to ad
vise bureau. correspondents. A large
number of students have volunteered
their services.

RECENT ACQUISITION
o — o
In 1929 the call to take care of an
other hospital came from ecclesiasti
cal authorities, interested in Potts-
ville, Pennsylvania. The former A. C.
Milliken Hospital, which had been
under secular administration, was -to
be converted ino the Good Samaritan
Hospital under the direction of Cath
olic Sisters. Like other institutions of
this kind in charge of the Missionary
Sisters, the Good Samaritan Hospital
opens its doors to all patients, irre
spective of age, sex, creed or nation
ality.
In October 1936 the Sacred Heart
Hospital in Norristown, Pa., was
opened and within a few weeks after
its formal opening was filled to ca
pacity. Within the short time of its
existence this hospital has often been
taxed beyond its capacity—50 beds—
and only lack of the necessary funds
prevents the erection of an addition
al building, which would enable the
Sisters to receive all patients apply
ing for admission.
St. Mary's Hospital, Athens, Geor
gia, is at the present time undergoing
necessary renovations, and as soon as
these are completed, the Missionary
Sisters will extend their services to
the inhabitants of the “Sunny South”.
Let us hope that their work there may
be blessed as it is and has been in oth
er sections of the country, and that
they may be able to realize their am
bition: To do good to All!
