I PAGE 2—The Southern Cross, February 2, 1963 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.” JOHN GLENN MEETS SCIENTISTS AT GEORGETOWN- Experts on space get together Jat Georgetown University in Washington, D.

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.” THE IDEA underlying the mo- LEGION OF DECENCY CLASS A — Section I Air Patrol—Fox Alakaxam, The Great—Am.

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 'Will Not Seek Compromises” 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.

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.
