Coat ot Arms ot His Hotiness, Pope Pius Xt Theme As the modern age has attowed itsett to dritt away from God, it has toecome immunized against the code ot Christian ethics. For tactc ot a set standard ot moratity, nations have become hattteiiietds tor the prevatent evits: war, race prejudices, and materialism. Modern inditterence and ignorance ot truth have caused this present wortd corruption. But it ignorance he the poison, Christian education is the antidote. The acquisition ot mere knowtedge is useless untess it is compte- mented by Christis principtes. Here at Vitta Montemar we have enjoyed the advantages ot a Chris- tian education. in every phase ot our schoot tite, the pattern as set down by Pope Pius Xi in his Encycticat on Hchristian Education ot Youthn is tneing ettected. in our yearhootc we shatt endeavor to show how the principles ot this system ot Christian education are heing realized in our schoot organiza- tions and activities. We hope that this theme witt express the truth that uthere can he no ideatty pertect education which is not Christian Education? HELEN KERIOZOLAS.
