A letter of Miss Buckley’s to all
Fogarty of
"Catholic schools do not want a
Miss Buckley cited the following
oints of opposition to the Bar-
en Bill:
It fails to improve educational
opportunities of children most in
need of help; It will waste Federal
funds by giving aid to States
which are not in need of assist
ance; It is equivalent to “class leg
islation” since it is designed to
help public children exclusively,
and; It counts in all school chil
dren, public and non-public for the
purposes of obtaining funds, then
counts out the non-public pupils
in the distribution of the funds.
Regarding the Fogarty bill, Miss
Buckley cited the following points:
It recognizes the basic constitution
al rights of parents to select non
public schools for the education
of their children; It recognizes
that non-public schools are Ameri
can institutions as well as public
schools, and, It recognizes that
pupils in non-public schools are
justly entitled to essential trans
portation services, health examina
tions and related child health ser
vices.
Among the speakers at the ses
sions were Bishop Vincent Waters,
of Raleigh; Monsignor John
O’Grady, executive secretary of
the National Conference of Catho
lic Charities, who discussed social
legislation; Miss Eileen Egan, di
rector of overseas projects, War
Relief Services—National Catholic
Welfare Conference, who discuss
ed the current campaign among
Catholic women’s groups for yard
goods, yarns and soap for relief of
refugees overseas, and Miss Cath
erine Shaefer, N. C. W. C. official
observer at the United Nations,
who spoke on means of btviguHC
about better underetanding of UN
objectives.
