Hi s Exc ellency Most Reverend Leo R. Smith, D. D. Auxiliary Bishop of Buffalo Spiritual DUCATION, which is concerned with man as a whole, individually and socially in the or- der of grace, necessarily belongs to three soci- eties g the family, civil society and the Church. Each of these societies has a responsibility not only to protect the right to education, but to con- tribute and instill knowledge in its members. Parents have a natural right to educate their children. However, in the present society, it is impossible to do so without the help of trained teachers. Wise parents realize that, through a a Catholic education, physical, mental and spir- itual growth is best achieved and the fruits of this education equip children to take their right- ful place in society. The state, realizing the inherent rights of the family, must protect the right of the parent to choose freely that type of education which will most help the child. Furthermore, it pro- vides supervision whereby a national standard is established. In New York State, this is done by the Board of Regents. and Their l a ' ' t i if, , . . ii 5 1 MILS . 7 .A 1 3 - M f ,--- . --MM-, ,. r '-'lzicigzlff tx i 5 -H... . ,,:,.:fwW--1-va ' .B . ,- E 'N' ' ..f-, 'f',jl Mothers' Council confer with the faculty in the interests of their children.

Shepherds HE family and the state unite under the spiritual guidance of the Church. The lat- ter, conscious of the divine mission, defends her right as an educator and places at the dis- posal of parents the means of providing educa- tion for their children. Here in Buffalo, our Bishops, Most Reverend joseph A. Burke and Leo R. Smith, diocesan guides and directors of Catholic education, have done much to forward Pope Pius Xl's teachings concerning family, state and Church as a triple union of educators. May God bestow His Divine Grace on their ex- cellent work so that the fruits of Catholic edu- cation may some day be enjoyed by all. His Excellency Most Reverend Joseph Aloysius Burke, D. D.
