She thus lost many tools . . . and many customers, although she claims they were getting the better end of the bargain. She had nothing to donate. Next, Charles located Doris La- brecque, head of a swanky manicuring shop. When asked if she filed her nails, she replied that she cut them and then threw them away. Charles received two bottles of shampoo lotion. When Charles came across Roger Renaud, now a famous psychiatrist, he was a witness to the following incident. All cf a sudden, in rushed Muriel Ioyce, one of his most needy patients. All excited, Doctor, I have stolen a fat qoose from a poultry yard. - That's wrong. - I know, Doctor, would you like tc accept it? - Certainly not: you should return it to the owner. - Yes, Doctor, but I have offered it to him and he will not have it. - Well, l suppose, in that case, you may keep it yourself. - Thank you, Doctor! and out she flew When Doctor Renaud arrived home he found that one fat goose had been stolen from his poultry yard. He was so upset that his promised donation to Charles was forgotten Rather discouraged at his failure to obtain funds Charles thought of stop- ping at the insane asylum to visit some of his friends First he met Elisabeth all mental equilibrium once up in the stratosphere Turned in while piloting 00004 o4O0 Io 4 o o fs' 'o'o's 0 I s 4 ' ' U . :'3 . 90- - .

After watching Marguerite for a long time, Lucie spoke up, l just caught you cheating yourself! Mar- guerite answered brightly, Shhh! don't tell a soul, but for years l've been cheat- ing myself at solitaire. You see . . . I'm too clever! More despondent than ever, Charles finally made his way to the city inciner- ator where he found Lorraine Goulet and Ieanne Richard attempting to burn the whole city instead of the city's gar- bage. To his great sorrow, he was forced to refuse her donation because a load cf cinders was useless to him. On the point of leaving, he was confronted by a woman in white, holding a strait jacket. To Charles' exclamation, Aw! do we have to go back? Lucille Pi- mentle answered, Yes, you have to come back and help the cther nuts keep happy. Lucille's knowledge of jiu jitsu made it unwise for Charles to at- tempt an escape: she could tangle a person in worse shape than spaghetti in a meatlcaf. When they arrived at the home for the feeble-minded, Nurse Gloria St. lean took Charles to the padded cell pre- pared especially fcr him. lt had been lined with sponge so his head could meet its equal. There, Charles was to spend the rest of his days, seeing only Lorraine Robichaud when she brought him his meals each day. Poor, poor Charles! to think that he had dreamt of becoming the world's greatest scientist! Raymond Fournier '48

Ie cheris ce tresor que personne ne peut m'enlever. Lorsque je pense a toutes ces taveurs regues, ie me sens animee de sentiments de proionde reconnaissance envers ma chere ecole: C'est pourquoi aujourd'hui, je veux parler des precieux avantages de l'enseignement de la reli- gion at l'ecole secondaire qui a pour but evidemment de former les eleves dans leur vie d'etre individuel et d'etre social. Il arrive partois que les eleves se con- tentent d'apprendre les tormules de la doctrine catholique sans vraiment realiser et vivre leur toi. En verite, la religion s'apprend et s'approfondit autant sinon mieux par la pratique que par les livres. S.S. Pie XI, dans l'encyclique Studiorum ducem a montre la necessite de l'union etroite qui doit regner entre les sentiments de l'ame et la vie d'etude. On ne dit pas d'un homme qu'il connait E1 tond tel pays parce qu'il en a vu une description, mais bien s'il y a vecu un certain nombre d'an- nees: de meme, pour acquerir une con- naissance profonde de Dieu, il taut vivre de l'union la plus intime avec Dieu. Ainsi, l'etude de la religion doit pertectionner l'intelligence de l'eleve, en faire un chre- tien eclaire qui sait vivre son catholicisme. Vivre sfn catholicisme c est d'abord prier, c est flechir le genou devant le Dieu cle toute verite Vivre son catholicisme, c est avoir un grand esprit de ioi, une ioi vivante et agissante qui est la regle de nos pensees de nos paroles et de nos Jugements S1 lenseignement de la religion at lecole secondaire doit viser a former l'in- telligence cle leleve, il doit aussi diriger ses energies sur la volonte, c est a-dire en faire un homme de caractere ll taut etre +356 Suooeoooooov ,'o'o'o'o'o's'o'o fo , N' I if ' Q 59 , ' ,,. .

Notre proiesseur de religion s'etudie ei former des chretiens, des hcmmes de caractere vraiment ac- complis. ll s'ensuit que la tin propre et immediate de l'education chretienne est de cooperer E1 l'actior1 de la grace divine dans la formation du veritable et parfait Chretien, i.e. at la formation du Christ lui- meme dans les hornmes regeneres par le bapteme. Ie dis que la religion a l'ecole secon- daire doit s'appliquer at former l'intelli- gence et la volonte du jeune homme. N'est-ce pas a,l'ecole en eftet, que les eleves, les tuturs dirigeants de la societe, doivent etre inities aux immenses devoirs de la vie tamiliale et de la vie sociale? Le premier milieu naturel et neces- saire de l'education est la tamille, precise- ment destinee ct cette fin par le Createur. De regle donc, l'education la plus eiticace et la plus durable sera celle qui sera regue dans la famille chretienne bien ordonnee et bien disciplinee et son efticacite sera d'autant plus grande qu'y brilleront plus clairement et plus ccnstamment les ex- emples surtout des parents puts des autres membres de la tamille. Et, quand passe le stage de la premiere education at l'ecole elementaire, l'eniant entre at l'ecole supe- rieure, c'est alors que cette maison d'edu- cation tournira sa large part dans la for- mation d'etre social commencee dans la tamille. En eftet, la paix, l'union, la con- corde entre les membres d'une famille ne scnt possibles que si tous remplissent fidelement les devoirs qui leur incombent. Ces devoirs doivent etre enseignes par la parole et par l'exemple. Le bonheur de
