F -' H '-' C ---- P -'-'-- - 'l Cniatbulic Cllfimucatiun Go therefore, teach all nations, teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you. Catholic Education is the hand-maid of the Catholic apostolateg the two factors, which are used by God in laying the foundation of His empire in the hearts of His children, are the Parish Church and the Parish school. The business of the Church is primarily of the soul, and since it finds the ultimate interests of the soul banned from the Public Schools there is no other alternative than to create schools which will protect these interests during the most critical formative period of the child's mind. The cultivation of the love of God in Her children is the most dominating feature behind the mind of the Catholic Church in the establishment of Her parochial school. The child must sooner or later leave the shelter of the home and school to become a factor in that great body called Society, and if it is sustained only by the fickle and unstable things Society affords there will be a struggle beyond human power to overcome. A more exalted inHuence is needed to guide it through the abyss in which it finds itself flounderingg this great influence is the religious love of God that can be properly instilled in the hearts of the young only through the medium of Catholic Education. Not satisfied with the great work of training its young in mind, the school system of our Diocese has further reached out its hands to care for its children physically. Competent coaches have been secured whose duties are to see that proper physical training is accorded the students. In all our schools it has been the aim to instill in the student body an active interest in athletics. It is with great pride that we can point to an enrollment of 27,000 children in the 'parochial schools of Albany Diocese. Under the capable supervision of Rev. James P. Hanrahan, Diocesan Superintendent, these schools are staffed by a force of 650 religious teachers, aided by the noble loyalty and generosity of some 185 of the laity. These schools are financed solely and voluntarily by the parishioners of the various parishes. It is with the deepest satisfaction that they see these children go forth from the portals of their schools standing second to none in competitive and public examinations, leaders in literature, commerce and art, and ever holding in their hearts the faith implanted there by Catholic Education. Beware lest any man cheat you by philosophy and vain deceit, according to the traditions of men, according to elements of the world, and not according to Christ. -Coll. 11-8. ANNE E.
