Effer Qmen . . . . ow . Our parents knew the answer to this question long before we could write it down. Because they understood the philosophy of the how, we are Catholic graduates today. When it was time for us to toddle into kin- dergarten, our parents set out to select a school that would give their daughters the best, both in education and in moral training. As loyal Americans, they turned first to the public school which their taxes supported. They marveled at its modern structure, standard equipment, and variety of subject matter. How- ever, faith pointed out the vital weakness of the public school system, secularism. For our parents, neutrality meant a denial of God, an inconsistency in a Christian's life. Then, on the walls of the Catholic school, they saw the symbol of their faith, the crucifixg in the teaching of educators, the why of life. The little nun there was so busy educating, ad- vising, reprimanding, or directing an organiza- tion that she-forgot all about herself, as she wore out her life in the service of souls . . . The book-learning imparted in the Catholic school, they observed, was identical to that given in its sister institution - the public school. The ear, however, caught the philosophy behind the lesson . . . The greatest event in history is the coming of Christ on earth . . . The wonders of science are but glimpses of God's Omniscience . . . A Christian should prefer moral integrity to riches. Our parents chose the Catholic school - the institution that could make their daughter the Woman for which the World stands in wait- ing. S La nation americaine est une nation progres- sive. Chaque jour, elle s'enrichit des valeurs que lui fournissent les citoyens, d'origine di- verse, enroles sous son drapeau . . . Des le debut de son existence, ne vit-elle pas grandir son esprit et son coeur, grace au langage et a l'art pittoresque de ses colons espagnols, ainsi qu'a la solidite de leurs croyances religieuses? Plus au nord, les Hollandais lui transmettaient un rare sens d'economie et d'organisation so- ciale. joints a l'esprit pratique et it l'endurance du Saxon, devenu maitre du pays, ces legs fai- saient prevoir un avenir brillant pour la cos- mopolite Amerique. Nous, jeunes filles de descendance francaise, avons, comme nos devanciers, quelque chose a lui offrirg et ce quelque chose vaut bien son pesant d'or : c'est notre culture Canadienne- francaise basee sur Yintegrite de la familleg puis, la connaissance d'une seconde langue, le doux verbe de France , enfin une force morale superieure, notre foi catholique. Tout Americain, loyal a son pays, est aussi fier de son developpement moral et intellec- tuel, que de son progres industriel. Il sait que la valeur d'une nation se mesure au nombre de ses citoyens cultives, alors il considere son ins- truction personnelle comme un devoir obliga- toire a l'avancement du pays. Soyons donc Heres de notre education bilirr- gue et catholique, car c'est une richesse natio- nale autant qu'individuelle. Allons de l'avant! Reconnaissons que cette education est une force qui, menee a bien, peut aider at changer le monde, a avancer la valeur culturelle du pays. VW
