FEDERAL AID FOR SCHOOLS
II the state of Ohio were to be
asked to add nearly $21,000,000
more to its present bill for edu
cation of its young people, there
would be an immediate demand
for an explanation. It has not
been easy for those backing the
public schools to obtain all the
funds they desire. There is, doubt
less, reason for the lack of com
plete confidence on the part of the
public, and their resultant hesi
tancy in voting the funds asked.
But why should there be thought
of an additional $21,000,000?
The answer is not difficult. In
this state there are more than
157,000 Catholic* students. Multi
ply this number by the average
cost per student in the public
schools, the additional cost would
be $21,000,000 annually. No one
will deny that this would be a siz
able sum, even for the state of
Ohio.
This same thought can be ap
plied to the whole nation with the
result that if all Catholic students
ox the nation were to be added
to the public school expense ac
count, the staggering sum of $300,-
000,000 would be facing the tax
payers. This sum, saved the tax
payers of the nation, Is adequate
tribute to the firm belief which
Catholics have in the necessity of
a religious training lor youth. It
is evidence of their devotion to
their religion, and it can be add
ed, to their country, for nothing
provides better citizens than a
good moral training.
These thoughts come to mind in
reading the account of the meet
ing of the National Education as
sociation recently held in Cincin
nati at this annual convention the
delegates voted down a proposal
to provide health and transporta
tion services to children of public
and non-public schools. One of the
delegates, urging the aid for non
public schools, said that “children
from ail schools arc drafted into
the armed forces. The health of
all children is, therefore, a na
tional concern.” Even this was of
no avail.
In the face of it, Catholics have
reason to feel • that the action is
definitely anti-Catholic, and not
merely a policy which the NEA
would otherwise follow. Indeed,
this is just what one leading Pro
testant warned recently. Writing
in Christianity- and Crisis, bi
weekly journal, Dr. Reibhold Nie
buhr. chairman of the editorial
hoard, warns his readers to “be
ware that our Protestant faith
Catholicism.” Calling attention to
the fact that we pay a very great
price in the secularization of our
culture by our policy of separa
tion of Church and state, Dr.
Niebuhr asks: “Ought not Protest
ant denominations, who pass reso
lutions against Federal educational
aid because they fear the possibil
ity of some of such aid going to
Catholics, ask whether that atti
tude is fair and generous toward
America’s disinherited school chil
dren, whether in this case religious
hatred does not deprive needy chil
dren of badly needed educational
advantages?" In his weekly column
for Religious News Service, Dr.
Niebuhr also pointed out that if
carrying parochial school children
in state busses is a violation of
the Constitution, the policy of the
U. S. government in regard to
army chaplains is an even greater
violation.
It is a curious old world, after
all. Bigotry anti justice, hot tem
pers and patient ones, hatred and
charity, all mixed up in the same
scene. It reminds one of the pres
ent world situation — nations
speaking politely through diplo
mats, teaching their people to hate
each other, crying out for peace
and good will—but out of it alt
comes no settlement. But in both
instances, whether it be in aiding
non-public schools, or in living
peacefully with peoples of the
world, (he ordinary "common”
people of every-day life, are big
enough to be willing to forgive and
forget, to do what is right and
just. After all there is a great deal
of sanity in the people as a whole
which all too often is lacking in
their leaders.
We do not believe that bur
Protestant neighbors as a whole
are against our sharing in the
money we pay in taxes for educa
tion. They are good neighbors.
Americans are known for their
spirit of fair play. Give them the
facts, free of bigotry and parti
sanship and they will be fair. —<
