Such insistence is called for in these our times, when, alas, there is so great and deplorable an absence of clear and sound principles, even re- garding problems the most fundamental. Indeed never has there been so much discus- sion about education as nowadays, never have exponents of new pedagogical theories been so numerous, or so many methods and means de- vised, proposed and debated, not merely to facilitate education, but to create a new system infallibly ehlicacious, and capable of preparing the present generations for that earthly happi- ness which they so ardently desire. -POPE PIUS XI 'lfflllllrflif' l':I1lll'IlfI.UlI in Cnllmliz' Srlmu Is for All Ihr' C ,-f' FORWARD EVFR 'Tlll ' , ALMA MA'1'1'IR, l'Hli STARS SHALL PALE ON IIIGIIQ O.X'll'ARIJ EVER ALMA MATIQR, HAIL!

It is clear that there can be no true education which is not wholly directed to man's last. end, and that in the present order of Providence, since God has revealed Himself to us in the Person of His Only Begotten Son, who alone is the way, the truth and the life, there can be no ideally perfect education which is not Christian education. 'I'o one who, in an outstanding degree, possesses the vigor of sterling manhood, without losing sympathetic understanding of the ways and problems of youthg to one who has taught us, by word and example, the cheerfulness found in the noble rendering of service to God and to our fellowmeng and to one who manifests the beautiful simplicity characteristic of a gifted mind-to our present Holy Father, Pope Pius XII-we gratefully dedicate this Year Book. l'Vl1r'n l,iIr'mry, Social, llmrrestic and Ifl'TIgIOIlS lidzlcalimz Im No! lin Hand in Hand, Mart ls IJVITIIIIIPTY and Hr'Iplr'ss. g2'lL'IZLL.dl4 .faZae4z'Zo-n TAKES IN THE WHOLE AGGREGATE 01 HUMAN LIFE T SPIRITUAL T INTELLECTUAL AND MORAL T SOCIAL AND DOMESTIC T PHYSICAL T INDIVIDUAL not with a view of reducing it in any way, but in order to elevate, regulate, and perfect it, in accordance with the example and teaching of Christ. --Pom-1 PIUS Xl, Encyclical on Christian Educatimz of Youth In Tempore Belli The mere sharpening of wits, the hare training of the intellect, the naked acquisition of science, while they increase the power for good, likewise increase the power for evil. An intellectual growth will only add to our confusion, unless it is accompanied by a moral growth. I do not know of any source of moral power other than that which comes from religion. One likes to trace great movements, like great rivers, from their sources. The Catholic parish school is not a recent innovationg it is the legitimate descendant of the catechetical school of the early Christian Church. Even the first public schools and colleges of America were not irreligious. Protestants, as well as Catholics, then made Bible reading and some religious instruction obligatory. Our neo-pa- ganism has done away with this. Hence, since the State Schools will not teach religion, the only barrier which Catholics can rear against the rising tide of godlessness and irreligious education is the Catholic Parochial School, which inculcates and preserves reli- gion. And yet this barrier is being constantly assailed, not only by the enemies of all reli- gion, but by the Protestants themselves. It is a fearful thing to say of a great democratic Republic that, it has no adequate Christian Educationg yet that is largely true of the United States today. lf the secular school prohibits religious and moral instruction, then the Cath- olic School must supply the deficiency. Good Catholics are determined that their children shall not be reared as youthful atheists, and hence make serious sacrifices to establish and maintain their own educational institutions, where a religious and ethical training shall be given. I say serious sacrifices, for, in addition to the great expense involved in doing this. Cath- olics have also to pay their regular taxes for the public schools. The parishioners of Saint George pay their school taxes and have no elected or appointed representative to allocate their monies. They also contributed 521,246.44 in 1943 to maintain its elementary and sec- ondary schools. This amount does not account for property, buildings, equipment and depre- ciation through usage. -PRESIDENT Coounoi-1. Our beloved country which is now engaged in the most bitter and pernicious struggle for its survival was conceived, nourished and lov- ingly brought forth by God-fearing men. It will be saved only by such men. Our American armed forces on land, on sea, and in the air comprise 50? of our Catholic-parochial school-youth, while numerically we consti- tute only 202, of our total population. The War Department of our country substantiates this disproportionate figure, which merely highlights our struggle for the true recogni- tion of Catholic educational endeavor. In this global war, St. George's has given over EIGHT HUNDRED SONS to this disproportionate figure. In the twelfth year of St. George's accredi- ment by the Pennsylvania Commonwealth of Education we note with pride that seven mem- bers of the graduating class of 1944 are already involved in the titantic struggle for the per- petuation of our American Way of Life. As your pastor, I am deeply cognizant of the forces against which you must struggle. While I congratulate you and wish you well upon the completion of your four years of effort and industry, I would remind you that all this was possible by the sacrifice of your parish priests, self-sacrificing religious women, parents and parishioners. I beg you to uphold the noble and ancient traditions of St. George's and ever to be mind- ful of our dedication to the Eternal Truth of the Mission of the Church. You see it daily, inscribed on the northern wall of the vesti- bule of our House of God, which is: THE CHURCH IS THE VOICE AND BUL WARK OF HUMAN RIGHTS. The world needs you and us. May God bless you and all of St. George's Church and School. -Josizrn A. DOERR. 11liVERliNDsIOSEPH A. DOERR Ll? happily. The world today is in a deplorable condi- tion. Modernism reigns supreme: and, if not wrecking, is leading the nations to moral de- gradation. In their teachings and practices, these moderns cry out, Away with jesus Christ, away with authority, we want no re- straining. Graduates of St. Georges School, you are prepared to counteract this menace. You have received the best intellectual, moral and phys- ical training that any corps of teachers is able to impart. May you make this theoretical knowledge practical! May God grant you success in your vocation and bless you always. FATHER XVIVELL Cod bless you! I admire your perseverance. But graduation is only com- mencementg it is the be- ginning, not the end. In Gods favor, may you again begin well, continue courageously, and end God be with you always. aide! FATHER ERKENS It is my prayer and hope that the graduates of St. George's High School will carry into their lives a deep and solid conviction of the great need of the world for real Christian liv- ing-of the great need of men and women who dare to face and oppose, by putting into practice the basic Christian principle of self- denial, the diabolical maxims of a pleasure and power crazed world-men and women fully aware of their great dignity as actual Children of God -yet, realizing, with true humility, their own utter helplessness and thereby fully determined to make continual use of prayer and the Sacraments-men and women who are doers of the word and not hearers only-devotees of our Lady and the Sacred Heart. X'Vith such men and women the world would be converted. FATHER OTT What fiTI,'IIll'T Work Is Tlzrfrrf Than Training the Mind and 1 m'ming the Habits of the Young. at 7ii'6uz'e . . . To Our Pastor , . . lt is to you, Father Doerr, we owe a special word of thanks for your untiring interests in every phase of our education from religious, to intellectual, and on through our physical training. In a word nothing was left undone which might aid in tnaking us faithful soldiers of jesus Christ and of our Country. Though we are leaving the portals of St. George High School we will always be faithful to our dear Alma Mater and always practice the principles you so earnestly instilled. May you always be the recipient of God's grace and protection. To Our Curcttes . . . XVe cannot leave without recalling the sacrifices of our priests in performing the special duties assigned to them in our behalf. To Father Erkens who so zealously cared for our religious instructions and also sacrificed many hours in supervising the boys during football practices both at home and at camp, and to Father XVivell and Father Ott who cared for both the boys and the girls during the basketball season, we say thank you and may God bless you. To The Faculty . . . 'I'o Sister M. Viola and all the members of the Faculty we extend our heartfelt thanks. X'Vords cannot express the gratitude we feel for the education we have received under your supervision. Your patient understanding has had a marked influence in the shaping and development of our characters. Because ol' this active interest in us and our activities we will be ever faithful to you and will have in our hearts sentiments of love and appreciation for you. THE FACULTY WAFS REVEREND JOSEPH A.

SPIRITUAL EDUCATION Christian Education takes in the whole aggregate of human life, physical and spiritual, intellectual and moral, individual, domestic and social, not with a view of reducing it in any way, but in order to elevate, regulate and perfect it, in accordance with the example and teaching of Christ. There can be no true education which is not wholly directed to man's last end. -Poms Pius XI. Catholic education does not confine its efforts to one set of human capacities. It seeks to develop the whole man, body and soul. Here we take our stand, sure and solid, on the rock of education that makes both for time and eternity. One only is the way as one only is the Master-Christ. To restore all things in Him, then, is our aim, to give God His due by making our education essentially Christian is the great need-the one point eternally worth while. Only on the foundation of His teachings can education securely and lastingly rest. Youth should know about God and His will, through Christ, that he will possess that virtue of right living deeply grounded upon a Christian training of mind, heart, will, and body. Where youth on the road of life have to tread the trackless expanses of knowledge without the great guide, faith, how often they have been lost in the quagmires of life. Their vision was but partial, half-blinded, and they were sense- less to eternal realities. This is the crying danger of the day despite all our secular principles. Knowledge, the strength of the intellect, is thought to be all sufficient, but it is not. Man born to act can never Find in mere mind enough strength to carry him aright through life unless he has in addition faith, hope and love-the virtues of religion. If the chief end of education is virtue, if conduct is three-fourths of life, if character is indispensable, while knowledge is only useful, then it follows that religion should enter into all the processes of education because religion more than any other vital influence has the power to create virtue, to inspire conduct, and to mold character. The Catholic school as one agency in Catholic education according to our late Holy Father Pope Pius XI seeks to mold the true and Hnished rnan of char- acter-and acts constantly and consistently in accordance with right reason illum- ined by the spiritual light of the example and teaching of Christf' .gQL'Ziz'u.4f 4 at-gud. 1'Tl11f Hurrfest Indeed Is Great, Bm? the l.11lmr1'1's l 1fw. Religious Vocation Club Some very active members ol the Religious Vocation Club are busy playing Santa lor the boys and girls in the service ol the Lord. This group has been especially active the past year in corresponding with the young men and women ol' the parish preparing lor the priesthood or sisterhood.

Church Singing 'l'hroughout the year there have been many instances in which music has been instrumental in Iilling our hearts with glaclness. Music is one of the hne arts which gives one interior joy and serenity ol soul. The students experience this especially in participating in the singing of the High Mass. A select group ol' boys from the Glee Club are honored by being permitted to sing the Propers of the Mass. This group is seen above standing at the left of the picture.

The Hobby Lobby Club THE HOBBY-CATHOLIC ACTION THE LOBBY-ROOM 202 Catholic Action is the participation of the laity in the apostolate of the hierarchy. -POPE PIUS XI. To most Catholics this definition goes in one ear and out the other. The single purpose of our Hobby Lobby Club is to correct this faultg Hrst, among ourselves, then among our neighbors. To further this end we have done many things both spiritually and materially. Nearly all the members have listed a service man's name with the promise of attending one Mass and receiving one Communion a week for his benefit. Our spiritual treasury has greatly increased because of the number of evening devo- tions and Stations of the Cross being attended by our members. Medals, holy water bottles, holy cards and Christmas gifts were sent to Father Henryls Negro Mission. Stamps were collected to ransom pagan children. By all these actions we have endeavored to carry out the wish of our Holy Father Pope Pius XI of blessed memory. 2 Q .Tv Z L4 N 'H l 4'-4...a-1...

Our Catholic Press ll' ever there was a time in the history of the United States when the impera- tive demand for an intelligent, militant Catholic press was strikingly evident, that hour has arrived. Our ,'x1llCI'lC'2lIl Constitution is attacked as a conservative instrtt- ment: our great industrial lile has been exposed as a horrible evil and a mark ol shame: our educational system has almost completely removed Cod and Christian inlluence lrom the character building ol' millions ol' American children. Obscenity in its most brazen lorm stalks through the land, both in literature and on the stage. 'l'he whole social and political structure ol' America, weakened by the loss ol' Christian education and morality, is now besieged by an evil ideology-call it any ism you wish-and we are shamefully unprepared to withstand the attack. Ten thousand able writers must. be recruitedg volumes of printed and spoken words ol' defense and attack must be distributed, to appease and enlighten the discontented and to soften the fury raging among tl1e misinformed and deluded. XVe need to support our press so that the diocesan Catholic newspaper may extend its circulation until one may truly say: XVe deliver each week a Catholic news- paper into every home of the diocese, without exception. The picture above illustrates the Freshmen acquainting the student body with the value ol' Catholic magazines and books. The play was part ol' a literature assembly held lor the purpose of spreading Catholic literatttre among the student body and also in their individual homes.

INTELLECTUAL EDUCATION Christian Education takes in the whole aggregate of human life, physical and spiritual, intellectual and moral, individual, domestic and social, not with a view of reducing it in any way, but in order to elevate, regulate and perfect it, in accordance with the example and teaching of Christ. It is therefore as important to make no mistake in education, as it is to make no mistake in the pursuit of the last end. -POPE PIUS XI. Human knowledge is a large fieldg the ways intersect and cross, and reach out in large distances, truths, social, historical, and religious are scattered in a big world of facts, thoughts and experiences. If we would have youth tread safely the expanses of knowledge, appeal must not be to the intellect alone, but chiefly and primarily to faith, else they will sure- ly be lost in byways and highways of human existenceg the life of their soul will be dark, narrow and cramped. Since the student is endowed with physical, intellectual, and moral capacities, all these must be developed harmoniously. An education that quickens the intelli- gence and enriches the mind with knowledge, but fails to develop the will and direct it to the practice of virtue, may produce scholars, but it cannot produce good men. i i ,lljjl Vi Catholic education unites intellectual, moral, and religious elements, thus giving the best training for citizenship. It inculcates a sense of responsibility, a respect for authority, and a considerateness for the rights of others which are the necessary foundations of civic virtues. With this in mind, the educational leaders train the students, leaders of to- morrow, according to the sound doctrines of Faith and the unassailable principles of Catholic Education, to accept their responsibilities as patriotic Christian gentlemen and leaders. .gnfeffecfuaf dn!

The Common I'Velfnre in lim Tenijmral Order, Cmzsisls in Peace and Security. Our affirmative debaters at the tournament were Peggy Dailey and Lorraine Vandecasty and they deserve congratulations, having won two out of three debates. Our negative debaters were Alice lfrankwitt, Olivia Lober and Robert Senda. Although these composed our best team, luck was against them and they won only one Olll of three de- lJ2llCS. lVe are nevertheless very proud of all of them because we think they did even better debating than last year. After all it is im- provement that we strive for even if we are not winners in the tournament. Therefore, de- baters, continue your good work and perhaps next year's tourna- ment may end in victory for you. l,l'1l 'l' - Lorraine Vandecasty, Olivia Lober. and Alice Frank- witt have been very active in debating during their Junior and Senior years. They have really done outstanding work and SGH is very proud of them. lVe are sorry to lose them since it is due to their patient practice day after day that we won quite a number of debates in the last LYVO YCZIPS. 'l'he recording machine works overtime as the voice of every student in the speech class is reproduced on the wax discs. Betty jane Fix demonstrates tl1e recording process in the lower picture to the left. Miss Margaret Griffin, speech instructor, checks volume and tone. Each voice is recorded at the beginning and again at the end of the speech course. The contrast in quality, control and de- livery reveals the progress of the student. During the play-back, students fre, quently fail to recognize their own voice, though their fellow students have no trouble identifying it. Voice control and the use of ellective speech are basic ingredients of the elusive quality we term personality. Training in Public Speaking develops these two skills. Properly assimilated, such training aids the student during school and during life. Business Education today is put on the defensive because ol the war. Business students are to be lound in all phases of war work-both in uniform and in civilian capacities. Business Education in SGH includes a two-year course in shorthand, typewriting, and bookkeeping as well as the operating of various office machines. Long hours have been spent in developing not only speed but accuracy in typewriting, and in taking dictation in shorthand.

SOCIAL EDUCATION Christian Education takes in the whole aggregate of human life, physical and spiritual, intellectual and moral, individual, domestic and social, not with a view of reducing it in any way, but in order to elevate, regulate and perfect it, in accordance with the example and teaching of Christ. Education is essentially a social and not a mere individual activity. Now there are three necessary societies, distinct from one another and yet harmoni- ously combined by Cod, into which man is born: two, namely the family and civil society, belong to the natural orderg the third, the Church, to the super- natural order. ln the first place comes the family, instituted directly by God for its peculiar purpose, the generation and formation of offspringg for this reason it has priority of nature and therefore of rights over civil society, Nevertheless, the family is an imperfect society, since it has not in itself all the means for its own complete development, whereas civil society is a perfect society, having in itself all the means for its peculiar end, which is the temporal well-being of the community, and so, in this respect, that is, in view of the common good, it has pre-eminence over the family, which finds its own suitable temporal perfection precisely in civil society. The third society, into which man is born when through Baptism he reaches the divine life of grace, is the Church, a society of the supernatural order and of universal extent, a perfect society, because it has in itself all the means required for its own end, which is the eternal salvation of mankind, hence it is supreme in its own domain. Consequently, education which is concerned with man as a whole, individu- ally and socially, in the order of nature and in the order of grace, necessarily belongs to all these three societies, in due proportion, corresponding, according to the disposition of Divine Providence, to the co-ordination of their respective ends. -Porn Pius XI. Faithful ever to the principles of Holy Mother Church with regard to society, SGH has ever striven to prepare its students to live a full social life. It instills into them the desire to cooperate with others and to accept personal responsi- bilities. The social program is so arranged as to give the students a sense of responsi- bility, cooperation, accuracy and understanding. Having acquired these virtues, they are equipped to assume their share of duties immediately upon passing the threshold from dependency to self-reliance. .Q-aid SGH's Patriotism St. Georges did its share this past year in selling bonds and stamps, Interest was at 1lS highest when students could purchase these at their own booth erected in the sehool hall. A special drive between the third and fourth war loans netted SSI l5,000. This sum exceeded hy 55,000 the cost ol' au ambulance airplane, the war equipment the school had set out to purfltase. Mrs. XVilliam Hetzel of the lvkil' Finance Committee and the Reverend joseph A. Doerr, Pastor, congratulated the students at a special assembly which closed the drtve.

Not even physical culture, as it is called, need be considered outside the range of her maternal supervision, for the reason, that it also is a means which may help or harm Christian education. 'lln gymnastic exercises and deportment special care must be had of Christian modesty in young women and girls, which is so gravely impaired by any kind of exhibition in public. -PoPE Plus Xl. Catholic education has long realized that effective discipline demands a safety valve for the surplus energies of youth. Growing youth seeks by nature a develop- ment of physical maturity that is greatly facilitated through a thorough-going physical education program reaching all students. Such a program helps the school to inculcate habits of good citizenship, gives an added interest in school life. Youth demands physical relaxation and no education is complete without it. The Leader of tomorrow must be strong not only in mind but also in body. Principled direction and guidance, mental discipline, social adjustment may readily be curtailed for lack of physical endurance. To build up his body, to in- crease his stamina, the student at SGH participates in a complete program of athletic and physical training. The athletic and physical training program at SGH develops in the leaders of tomorrow the sense of fair play, respect for rules and regulations, courage and spirit despite overwhelming odds. 2-Zydicaf The Trim Clzrisliau Does Noi Renounce the Ac:lizfil1'1'.s of This Life, He Docs Not Stzml Gym All students, from the Freshman to the Senior division, in accord with the principles of a sound mind in a sound body, and in keeping with a physical program so greatly advocated in a Will'-lO1'Il world, take a regular course in gym- nastics. Marching, calisthenics and individual exercises form a large part of the program. The activities of tl1e past year have given us the opportunity of demonstrating our creative ability. The coordination ol' mind and body, necessary in sports, helped us discover talents which would never have been brought to light. The pleasure and enjoyment we had, we shall certainly miss. To Mr. Forrest who has been directly responsible for the athletic activities of the past year, we are deeply grateful.

Ulhile having a good time with rousing games ol' bas- ketball and volleyball they learn coordination and ability to watch more than one nioying body at one tinie. They learn to niake snap decisions, all ol' which will be an asset in their lu- ture work.

INDIVIDUAL EDUCATION WMMM Christian Education takes in the whole aggregate of human life, physical and spiritual, intellectual and moral, individual, domestic and social, not with a view of reducing it in any way, but in order to elevate, regulate and perfect it, in ac- cordance with the example and teaching of Christ. The Saints have ever been, are, and ever will be the greatest benefactors of society and perfect models for every class and profession, for every state and condi- tion of life, from the simple and uncultured peasant to the master of sciences and letters, from the humble artisan to the commander of armies, from the father of a family to the ruler of peoples and nations, from simple maidens and matrons of tl1e domestic hearth to queens and empressesf'-POPE PIUS XI. The specific aim of Catholic Education is: 1. To develop the native abilities of the individual to their optimum level. 2. To develop the individual in the likeness of Christ. 3. To supply experiences which will develop ideas, skills, habits, and attitudes to meet the modern challenge of Christian living. 4. To prepare the student to meet the challenge in the environment of American Democratic Society. 5. To make available for the individual the cultural heritage of the race. 6. To indoctrinate those basic life principles which we con- sider eternal and changeless so that such principles may become governors of conduct in the individual. 7. To develop in the individual the ability to adapt himself easily to change. 8. To clarify for the individual his relationship to God, the Church, his fellow-men, nature and self. The following pages portray some of the outstanding individuals in SGH. .gn 06'vL'66caf Tl1f'r1' Cannot 131' 151111-,II.YffI'K' 1ixn'j1I in Ciitfftlg Io God ll'l1n! ls Due lo God, fls the True C,Il'I'XlfIIII lloffsf' Georgian Staff Ihe stztll ll2lS spent many hours ol hztrd work on the school paper and Yeztr- book.

To the Sophomores we leave a special token of our friendship and the fond hope that they will keep the name of St. George high. To the Freshmen we leave the happy thought of spending three more years profitably at our Alma Mater. In witness whereof, we, the class of Nineteen Hundred Forty-Four, have subscribed our names and aflixed our seal this fourth day of june, A.D. l944. etvice MM ir CARL GLANDORF ---- U. S. Marines Carl left us at the end of the Sophomore year to join up with Uncle Sam's fighting leathernecksf' He's been in the service two years and has been overseas for over a year. He was wounded in action at Bougainville and received the Purple Heart. At one time he was lost behind the Jap lines for two days, during which time he was shot at by his own buddies as well as Japanese snip- ers. He was lucky enough to escape with only a bullet through his helmet and cart- ridge belt. JOHN KELLY ----- U. S. Marines During the Sophomore year we bid fare- well to our first classmate who went to join forces with Uncle Sam. John was a smiling lad with a real Irish wit. He is now some- where in Hawaii. John has the rating of P.F.C. He tells us that all is not play in the U.S.M.C. He will long be remembered for l1is keen sense of humor by each and every one of his former classmates. JOHN KOHNKP: ------ U. S. Navy Another student of St. George who is now a radioman in the Navy is John. VVe bade farewell to this lad in the middle of the Junior year. After his departure the room did not seem the same. VVe missed his many pranks and his happy-go-lucky ways. John graduated from the Radio School in YVis- consin and is now aboard ship. His proud- est accomplishment is his typing speed of forty-six words a minute, without an error. RICHARD EPERTHENER - - - U. S. Navy Rich left us in the Junior year. He is now a member of the U. S. Navy in the South Pacific. He feels at home on a large cruiser. Upon completing one voyage, Rich is now on his second trip on rough waters. He has seen action in the South Pacific and was in two major battles. His job aboard ship is to keep the fires in the boiler room going full blast. He is a Fireman Sfc and finds it plenty hot below deck. DONALD MOONEY ---- U. S. Army The last of our classmates to leave was Don. He thought it his duty to help out with winning the war. He didn't want his four brothers to be out there alone. It was in the middle of the Junior year that Lit- tle Donnie took leave of us. He is now at Shreveport, La., with the Armored Tank Corps. Don is driving his own jeep down there and likes it very much. He is on maneuvers and upon finishing these, hopes to leave for overseas. WVVILLIAM RUMPF ---- U. S. Navy The Sophomore year saw another boy go off to join the armed forces in the person of Bill Rumpf. Bill's lifelong ambition was to join the Navy and he saw it through around the end of the year. He is now a Seaman 2fc aboard one of the country's largest landing crafts. Bill studied radio way down Texas way, and is now ready to be a R.M.M.2fc. VVell, Bill, if people judge you by your smile you're bound to go places. JAMES NATH - - U. S. Naval Air Corps Joining us in the Freshman year, Jim was a real addition to our class. He did not stay long, however. He joined up with the U. S. Navy near the end of the Sophomore year, and in no time at all was selected to become a part of the Naval Air Corps. At the present time, Jim has several missions to his credit, and reallv knows iust what's what up in the air. His fondest hope is that the war will end soon. ' Now all this array of priceless educational treas- ures which we have barely touched upon, is so truly a property of the Church as to form her very sub- stance, since she is the mystical body of Christ, the immaculate spouse of Christ, and consequently a most admirable mother and an incomparable and perfect teacher. This thought inspired St. Augus- tine, the great genius, with accents of tenderest love for so glorious a mother. Let us then raise our hands and our hearts in supplication to heaven, to the Shepherd and Bishop of OUR Soulsf to the divine King who gives laws to rulers that in His almighty power He may cause these splendid fruits of Christian education to be gathered in ever greater abundance in the whole world, for the lasting benefit of individuals and of nations.
