'The education of man begins at the cradle; and the first school, which nothing can replace, is that of the domestic heart . Pius XII tAugust, 1951i QQ . . . the younger generations must be trained in the arts and sciences for the advantage and prosperity of civil society, and since the family of itself is unequal to this task, it was necessary to create that social insti- tution, the school? Pius XI tDecember, 1929i RIt is necessary not only that reli- gious instructions be given to the young at certain fixed times, but also that every other subject be perme- ated with Christian piety. If this is wanting, . . . little good can be ex- pected from any kind of learning. Leo XIII tMay, 1897i THE SCHOOL

LDaJlicateol ynstrument of tAe fparent parents and school is absolutely necessary, basic, and essential. Indeed, the parents, even before the rcbool, are under a grave obligation to see to the religious and moral education as well as the physi- cal and civic training of their children. erber High School then is the devoted instrument of the parent; it is the work of charity by Which the Church, the Archdiocese, and the Fathers of the Resurrection offer to the parents the opportunity to supplement and complement their own God- given work as the first teachers of their children. It is on this basis e the basis of cooperation a that Weber High and the parents of Weberites meet in their mutual responsibility to educate. Precisely this Wholesome cooperation between our parents and our school is saluted in the 1958 DOLPHIN. We need not take refuge behind high- sounding phrases and glittering generalities to demonstrate this splendid cooperation. We have seen the love of our parents for their sons in their devoted interest e more! their participation a in school events; we delighted in the encouragement mother and father have given the school in its great assignment by informing themselves about Weberis aims; we gloried in the praise heaped upon our school for a task well done; we partici- pated in the satisfaction parents experience When they know that their sons are intelligent children of God, heirs of heaven, American Catholics.
