DRIVE AGAINST PRIVATE SCHOOLS?
N.E.A. Accused Of Seeking
Control Of U. S. Education
NEW YORK, (NC) - A Ca
tholic educator has charged
there is a drive under way to
force nonpublic schools out of
existence through establish
ment of a “monolithic educa
tional system” in the U. S.
Msgr. O’Neil C. D'Amour
makes the charge in an ar
ticle entitled “Federal Aid:
Diagnosis and Prognosis,” ap
pearing in the February issue
of the Catholic Educator, pub
lished here. The Monsignor is
associate secretary of the De
partment of School Superinten
dents, National Catholic Edu
cational Association.
The Catholic education offi
cial asserts that actions taken
on the Federal aid to educa
tion issue during the 87th Con
gress "brought out with start
ling clarity the intent of cer
tain elements within our so
ciety to destroy the traditional
pluralism in American educa
tion and to replace it with
a monolithic educational sy
stem.
In analyzing the background of
this drive, Msgr. D’Amour
notes that “Catholic schools...
between 1940 and 1960 grew 119
per cent while the public
schools grew only 42 per cent.
“Non-Catholic religious
schools grew even more dra
matically,” he continues. “This
disturbing evidence that the
people were beginning to de
mand a religiously oriented
education for their children
must have been upsetting to the
officials of the public school
associations.
“It is felt by many that these
officials have embarked delibe
rately upon a program designed
to curtail the development of
such schools...Apparently un
able to compete in the open
market place with the religious
ly oriented schools, they seek
to remove these schools from
■the market.”
Msgr. D’Amour singles out
the National Education Asso
ciation as the key force be
hind this program.
“If we as Americans permit
RT. REV. MSGR. O’NEIL
C. D’AMOUR
the powerful public school asso
ciation known as the National
Education Association to seize
control of American education,
there can be only disaster in
our future,” he says.
The Monsignor then urges
Catholic educators to present
to their fellow citizens the jus—'
tice of the Catholic stand on
educational aid.
Stating that the 88th Congress
“will react to the people,” he
cintinues: “We in Catholic edu
cation must present to our fel
low citizens the situation that
confronts us...If we will show
them the things that we are
trying to do, if we show them
the justice of our position, they
will react.”
“It is not that we should
seek to destroy public educa
tion,” he says. “We seek no
such end. It is that we seek
to preserve American plural
ism in education, to preserve
American freedom of choice
in education.”
“These are the things, he
concludes, “that we must bring
before our fellow citizens and
before our representatives ih
Congress during the coming
year.”

ALEXIANS-
Finding that the Brothers had
no chaplain and the parish no
^pastor, he volunteered his ser
vice “temporarily.” The tem
porary job lasted for 18 years,
until in 1957 he was relieved by
the appointment of the Rev. Wil

QUESTION BOX
Q. Last month our local news
paper ran a feature on a re
ligious doctrine known as Theo
sophy, which, it said, was in
troduced in this country by a
Russian immigrant, Helen Pe
trovna Blavatsky. What is Theo
sophy all about, and what is
the Church’s position regarding
it?
A. Theosophy (the name
comes from a combination of
the Greek words for “divine”
and "wisdom”) is a cult con
structed upon an Oriental philo
sophical framework, which
claims to lead to direct know
ledge of God through a kind
of mystical intuition. One wri
ter has described the present
day form as a hodgepodge of
mysticism, charlatanism and
thaumatugic pretension “com
bined with an eager effort to
express its teaching in words
which reflect the atmosphere
of Christian ethics and modern
scientific truth.”

dem brand began with the Rus
sian Helena Petrovna Blavat
sky (1831-1891), who apparent
ly was mesmerized by certain
forms of oriental occultism.
Arriving in this country in 1873,
she soon made the acquaintance
of Colonel Henry Steel Olcott
(1830-1907), who helped her get
the cult going here. Madame
Blavatsky’s successor, Annie
Besant(1847-1934), appropriated
some Christian principles and
emphasized the ancient super
stition of reincarnation or
metempsychosis, which is pro
bably the one tenet upon which
most theosophists today agree.
(One reference we consulted
relates how Mrs. Besant adopt
ed a Hindu lad named Krischna-
murti, whom she proposed as
“master and saviour of the
world,” but the boy eventually
decided he wanted out.)
THEOSOPHY is really nei
ther a philosophy nor a
religion. It is not a philosophy
because it does not proceed
from demonstrable propo
sitions systematically and
logically ordered. It is not a
religion in the traditional sense
because it is not founded on
an act of faith in the revela
tion of a divine being.
One good thing that can be
said for modern theosophy is
that it teaches the unity or bro
therhood of humanity. For this
reason it can be looked upon
as a pacifying force. Yet the
reason for its teaching on unity
is merely the so-called
lidarity” of mankind; i.e
so-
a
nebulous common life which
permeates every human being
almost in a crudely pantheistic
sense. Nor does the brother
hood of man stem from the
fatherhood of a personal diety,
AS FOR the Church's view
suffice it to say that the doc
trine of reincarnation (i.e., that
elements of the human soul
enter upon a series of new exist
ences after death in other bodies

COPENHAGEN, DENMARK-
Augustin Cardinal Bea, S. J
told an audience of Protestant
and Catholic churchmen here
that the ecumenical council
“will not seek compromises,”
but will preserve the fullness of
Catholic doctrine while setting
it forth in ways understandable
to non-Catholic Christians.
He added that he was gratified
by the prayers said by
non-Catholic Christians for the
success of the council.
While here, Cardinal Bea was
received on Jan. 25th by King
Frederick IX at his palace.

to suffer new trials for event
ual perfection and absorption
in the "Great One”) is both
unreasonable and unscriptural
on its face. So too, the fail
ure of cult to acknowledge a
personal God who is the Father
of all mankind.
COUNCIL-
“As
cil, I
spirit,
a result of the coun
think there is a new
a new atmosphere in
Christianity. In this spirit we
can begin discussing the doc
trines which divide Christians.
However, there are many, many
years of serious prayer and
study ahead.
“The real work from now on
has to be done by theologians.
But, before this can come about,
we must have friendship, prayer
and understanding. Without the
prayers and charity of the laity,
theologians can't begin their
work.”
During a question period
following his talk, Bishop
Whealon was asked about a
freedom of conscience draft
being prepared by Augustine
Cardinal Bea, president of the
Secretariat for ' Promoting
Christian Unity.
“I don't believe religious
tolerance is a real problem in
the United States,” he said.
“However it is posed by some
Catholic countries in Latin
America and in Spain. There
also is a problem in some
Protestant countries—in Swit
zerland and in the Scandina
vian states.
I hope that a plan such as
we have in the United States will
be followed. I like it. I believe
everyone has the right to wor
ship as he wishes.”
Joseph Dowling Mitchell was
born December 28, 1880, at
Columbus, Ga., of devout Pres
byterian parents. After finish
ing high school in Columbus
he went to New York and found
a job as a commercial steno
grapher. He never attended col
lege but continued his education
on his own.
While in New York he became
a Catholic and enrolled in Dun-
woodie seminary to prepare for
the priesthood. He was ordain
ed June 21, 1908 and was as
signed to St. John the Bap
tist Cathedral in Savannah. He
rose rapidly and served as
chancellor, pastor of the
Cathedral, and vicar general.
When Bishop B. J. Keiley
resigned in 1922, Father Mi
tchell was appointed adminis
trator of the diocese. When
Bishop M. J. Keyes resigned
in 1935, Monsignor Mitchell
was again named head of the
diocese.
Although he has less than one,
per cent vision, Monsignor is
a voracious reader. In spite of
his 82 years, he is mentally
alert and takes an interest in
a variety of things.
EDUCATION-
ing hard problems. We are at
a point in history when we must
face and resolve these pro
blems,” he said.
Kennedy outlined his idea of
the Federal role in education
this was: “I do not say that the
Federal Government should
take over responsibility for
education. That is neither desi
rable nor feasible. Instead its
participation should be selec
tive, stimulative and, where
possible, transitional.”
The president paid tribute
to education efforts of “State
and local governments and pri
vate institutions.” But, he said,
"all this has not been enough.”
He maintained that economic
facts of life make Federal aid
to education imperative. Unof
ficial estimates put cost of his
program at $5 billion over next
three to four years.
AWARD-
interest of the American Legion
in placing before the students
high ideal of conduct. Father
W. P. Dowling, Pastor, who
presided, reminded the assem
bly that the award was given
by men who had fought to pre
serve the liberty of our Ameri
can! way of life.
The names of the award win
ners of the class of 1962,James
