ln the home we learn not only how to pray but also when to pray. Prayer before and after meals is a musf in a real Catholic home. he Cbilcfs First School Is The ome In the life of every child the Parent is the source of inspiration and guidance, first and foremost, and the home is the first religious and social school the child knows. The child learns to pray at his mother's knee. It is from her that the child learns after it enters the first grade of the school of life, at the baptismal font, his spiritual and moral obligations. By her it is taught to act from supernatural motives because it will have the recognition of the duties to God and the neigh- bor. In the home, the child is taught the meaning of the give and take of life, the mutual interde- pendence of every member in the family and the complete dependence upon God. Page, 22 Reared in such atmosphere the child comes to a Catholic school where the education continues under the same Christian auspices from grade to grade until it becomes ready to take its place in the world as a good citizen of this country, and a true Christian. The home and the school have the same philosophy of education and of life. There is no distortion. Todayiwe are grateful to God for our Catholic homes, -- the religious and social anchors, - for our parents - the true guides and for their auxili- aries, the priests and religious teachers, who all have the same ideal - to make us true citizens of this country and of heaven.

We hear these Words so often repeated over the radio A family that prays together, stays to- gether . The prayer most suited to the recitation in the family is the rosary. There is no greater hope for earth than the sight of father, mother, brothers, and sisters on their knees together in the quiet of their home saying the Rosary. On their lips, the Word! of God . . . in their hearts, the Love of Mary . . . Within their home, all the Special Grace! and Blaming! God pours down on those who make their home a home of the Daily Family Rosary. In religion classes we learn that rosary is a powerful weapon that has stilled heresies, squilched the demons of war, comforted the sor- rowing, calmed the fires of passion and implanted the love of God. Don't we need this weapon Today? Because the family is the first training ground of true men and Women and the test of popular progress we endeavor to spread the family rosary in order to obtain for the world the graces neces- sary and most of all families that will stay together. A Family that Prays Together Stays Together. The rosary is especially a family prayer. Page 23
