THE Catholic schol tries to carry out the command of Christ: Going therefore teach ye all nations. In the encyclical on the Christian Education of Youth, Pope Pius Xl proclaimed that Christian education takes in the whole aggregate of human life, phys- ical and spiritual, intellectual and social. Central makes that its aim. The Freshman can be seen puzzling over the value of in an algebra problemg the Sophomore daily tucks his English book under his arm, the junior begins to under- stand the physical makerup of the world, the Senior finds solution for the problems of society. There we find just a part of the training of the mind in classes at Central. A sound body is the necessary companion of a sound mind. The line-buck in football, the lay-in shot in basketball, the shoe-string catch on the ball field, are only incidents of a growing physical education program to d-evelop a sound body in every Central boy. Lest the Centralite become Johnny, the dull boy, dances, plays, clubs, movies provide a better social education. The true Christian must be the result of Catholic education. Daily Mass, each religion class, a noon hour visit to the chapel, and a constant striving to inculcate the virtues of Christ form a few of the ways in which Central hopes to impart an abiding religious educatioin. Such is the aim of education at Central and the theme of the 1945 Sceptere-to prepare each boy for what he must be and for what he must do here below, to attain the sublime end for which he was created. an Zamq Way WOM
