To (htr itiUmtl Hon, Jainc Oililmnii, Cardinal Print of the llubj Rmuan Church, titular of tit, Jtlary'n beyond the Tiber, the Anhbinhop of Jtallimore, and to our venerable brethren the, Arehldhhopt, und Jtixhops of the, United titates of North America Bklovkd Hon and Vknkk aiile Dhkthkkn: Health and apos tolic benediction. We have often given manifest proofs both of our solicitude for tlio welfare of tho faithful jieoplo and blHhom of tlio United States of America und of tho peculiar affection with which wo ohor ImIi that portion of our Saviour's flock. Of this wo have given additional and unmistakable evidence in sending to you an our delegate, our vonerablo brother FranclH, titular archbishop of Lepanto, an Illustrious man, not loss pre-eminent by his learning than by his virtues, an you yourselves, In tho recent meeting of tho archbishops in New York, have plainly testified, thuH confirming the trust which we had re potted In Lin prudence. Now 1j!h legation had this for I in first object that it should bo a public testl tnonlal of our good will toward your country and of tho high esteem in which wo hold thoHo who administer tho government of tho republic; for he wuh to assist in our iiutuo at tho dedication of tho universal exposition held in tho city of Chicago, in which w ourselves, by the courteous luvltu tion of it director, have taken part. But bit legation bad thin alo for lu purpoM, that our preMncfl should be made, m it were, perpetual among you by tbe permanent establishment of an apostoilo delegation at Washington. By thli we bave manifestly declared not only that wo lovo your nation equally with thoso flourishing countries to which we have been accustomed to send representatives vested with our authority, but also that we vehemently desire that the bonds of actual relation ship binding you and your faithful peo ple with us, us children with their father, should grow closer every day. Nor was It a small comfort to our heart that this new act of our care In your regard was followed by a general out pouring of thanks and affection toward us. Now, in our fraternal solicitude for your well being, we had above all given command to tho archbishop of Lepanto that he should use all his endeavors and all the skill of his fraternal charity for the extirpation of all tho germs of dissension developed In'lhe too well known controversies concerning the proper instruction of Catholic youth; a dissension whoso Hun e was fanned by various writings published on both sides. These commands of ours our venerable brother fully compiled with; and In the month of November of last year bo repaired to New York where they bad assembled with you, lsdove.il son, all the other archbishops of your country, they having compiled with the deslro which I bad communicated to them through tho sacred congrega tion of tho propaganda, that after con ferring with their suffragans they should Join counsel and deliberate con cerning tho best method of curing for those Catholic children who attend the public schools instead of Catholic schools. The things which you wisely decreed in that meeting were pleasing to the said archbishop of Lit pan to, who lie stowed merited praise on your prudence and expressed his belief that these de crees would prove most useful. This judgment we also with great pleasure confirm; and to yourself and the other prelates then assembled will we give deserved prulso for having thus oppor tunely responded to our counsel and our expectation. Hut, at that same time our venerable brothers, wishing, as it was our desire, to settle the ques tions concerning the right Instruction of Catholic youth, alsiut which, hs above stated, controversy was being waged and writings published with ex cited minds and angry feelings, laid before you certain propositions put In shajsi by himself, touching upon both the theoretical principles of tho subject and their practical application. When the meeting of archbishops had seri ously weighed the meaning and bearing of these propositions, they had asked , .

Then iH rtiiln pti lstt of your eonntiy, whether dlpleii'd with the inlet piv tltm put upon S.1IIHI of thew prossl .Ions or fearing the hnrin to wmls which It seeineil to tin-lit Intghl thetiee result, eoiiltded to im the rvnsoii of their anxiety, ami we knowing Hint the salvation of souls Is the supreme law to bo ever assiduously borne In mind by us, wishing more to give you another proof of our solicitous affection, re quested that each of you should In a private letter fully open his mind 1o us on the subject, which was diligently complied with by each ono of you. From tho examination of theso letters it lieeamo manifest to us that some of you found in the propositions no reason for apprehension; while to others it seemed that the propositions partially abrogated tho disciplinary law con cerning schools enacted by the council of Baltimore, and they feared that a diversity of interpretations put upon them would engender sad dissensions which would prove detrimental to the Catholic schools. After carefully weighing tho matter wo are Intimately convinced that such interpretations are totally alien from the meaning of our delegates, as they are assuredly far from the mind of this apostolic see; for tho principal proposi tions offered by him were drawn from tho decrees of the Third Plenary Coun cil of Baltimore and especially declare that Catholic schools are to be most sedulously promoted, and that It is to be left to tho judgment and conscience of the ordlnury to decide, according to tho circumstances, when It Is lawful and when unlawful to attend the public schools. Now if the words of any speaker aro so to be taken that tho lat ter part of his discourse shall bo under stood to agree, and not to disagree, with what he had said before, it is surely both unbecoming and unjust so to explain bis later utterances as to make tbetn disagree with the preceding oneiC And this )s the more true since the meaning of the writer was not all loftobscure. For, while presenting his propositions to the distinguished meet ing in Nw York he expressly declared (as Is evident from tho minutes) hto admiration for the zeal manifested by th'j bishops of North America In tho most wise decrees enacted by tho Third Plenary Council of Baltimore for the promotion of Catholic Instruction of tho young He added, moreover, that theso decrees, in as far as they contain a general rule of action, aro faithfully to bo observed, and that although the public schools aro not to bo entirely condemned (since cases may occur, as tho council itself had forseen, in which it Is lawful to attend them) still every endeavor should Ixs made to multiply Catholic schisds and to bring them to perfect equipment. But In order, that In a matter of so grave importance, there may remain no further room for doubt or for dissensions, as wo have al ready declared in our letter of the 23rd of May of last year to our venerable brethren, tho archbishop and bishops of tho province of New York, so we ugaln us far us need be, declare, that the decrees which the Baltimore coun cils, agreeably to the directions of the Holy Hee, huvo enacted concerning pa rochial schools, and whatever else has been proscribed by the Homan Pontiffs, whether directly or through tho sacred congregations, concerning the same matter, are to lie steadfastly observed. Wherefore, wo confidently hope (and your devoted nes tens and the apostolic see increases our confidence) that hav ing put away every cause of error and all anxiety you will work together with hearts united in perfect charity for the wider and wider spread of tho kingdom of find in vour Immense country. But while industriously laboring for the glory of (Jod and the salvation of souls entrusted to your care, strive also to promote the welfare of your fellow elll.en and to prove tho earnestness of your love for yourcountry, so that they who are entrusted with tho administra tion of tho government may clearly recognize how strong an influence for tho support of public order and for tho advancement of public prosjierlty Is to bo found In the Catholic Church. And as to yourself, beloved son, wo know for certain that you will not only communicate to our own venerable brethren In the United Htntcs this our mind which It hath seemed good to us to make known to you, but that you will also strive with all your power that tho controversy, being not only calmed but totally ended, as Is so greatly to lie Jdesired, the minds which have been excited by it may peacefully be united In mutual gisid will. Meanwhile, as a pledge of our affection, we most loving 1 1 I i U l l fc t lijfc j ii I M'-i Ii Ii n'' l-'i 1 1: . i I'.

(Mutt, xxvill., 111.) In her likewise Is vested the divine tight of Instructing the young, In so far us theirs Is the kingdom of heaven (Mark, x., U. Council of Baltimore, 11. L., lil., No. UM); that Is to siiy, she holds for herself the light of teaching tli truths of faith ami the law of morals In order to bring up youth In tho habits of christian life. Hence, absolutely and universally speaking, there Is no repugnance In learning tho first ele ments and tho higher brunches of the arts and the natural sciences in public schools controlled by tho state, whose office is to provide, maintain and pro tect everything by which lis citizens aro formed to moral gixidness, while they live peaceably together with a sufficiency of temporal gmids, under the laws promulgated by civil authority. THE CHUKCH FAV0K8 I'UHMCBCIIOOLH. Tho Catholic church in general, and especially tho Holy See, far from con demning or treating with Indifference the public schools, desires rather that by the joint action of civil and ecclesi astical authorities, there should bo public schools In every state, according as the circumstances of tho people re quire, for tho cultivation of tho useful arts and natural sciences; but tho Catholic church shrinks from thoso features of public schools which aro op posed to tho truth of Christianity and to morality; and since, in the interest of society itself, these objectionable fea tures aro removable, therefore, not only tho bishops but tho citizens at largo should labor to remove them, in virtue of their own right and In tho cause of morality. It Is greatly to bo desired, and will lie a most happy arrangement, if tbe Bishop agrees with the civil authoritiea or with tbe mem bers of tho School Board, to oonducf the school with mutual attention an. due consideration for their respect! 1 4 rights. While there are teacher of any description for the secular branches, who are legally inhibited from offending Catholic religion und morality, let tho right and duty of the church obtain of teaching the children catechism, in order to remove danger to their faith and morals from any quarter whatsoever." The Third Plenary Council of Balti more, whoso decrees were revised by lyw XIII., 21 Heptember, 1W, has sur passed all preceding councils onAmerl- can soil in tho number, importance and cogency of its regulations on the subject of education, enjoined as the law to be strictly followed by pastors, teachers and jieoplo. Upwards of fifty of the ono hundred and eighty-two pages of tho body of the volume "C'wirt'MW I'knr arii llnllhimrmidH Tert'rt Actitet I herein" aro taken up almost exclusively with all grades of schools, proceeding from the elementary, through tho inter mediate schools, colleges, and academ ies, to tho "Catholic University of America," now on the eve of being founded. At the end of Chapter I., Title VI., the following decrees are set down as tho fundamental rules govern ing the whole educational legislation: "We determine and decree: "I. Thathardby every cherch, where It disis not already exist, a parochial school Is to be erected within two years from tho promulgation of this council (January Oth, Feast of Kplphany, 18W) and to be kept up In tho future, unless tho bishop see fit to grant a further delay on account of more than ordinarily grave difficulties to bo overcome in Its establishment. "II. That a priest, who, within the aforesaid time, hinders by sorlout neg ligence, tho building and maintenance of a school, or does not regurd tho re pented admonitions of tho bishop, do serves removal from that church. "III. That tho mission (mmlonem) or parish, neglecting to aid the priest in tho erection and support of a school so that, on account of this supine negli gence, tho sumo cannot exist, Is to be reprimanded by the bishop, and by every prudent and efficient means urged to supply tho neeossiry helps (aulmdia.). "IV. That all Catholic parents are Ismnd to send their children te pa rochial schools, unless they provide sufficiently und fully for their christian education at home, or atother Catholic schools. They may, however, lie per mitted for a good reason, approved by tho bishop, and using meanwhile the necessary precautions and remedies, to send them to other schools. But It is left to the judgment of tho ordinary to decide what Is a Catholic school." ISection II., "Ada el deer," pp. 103 sqq. ' if in I! i t-rs- -,'.., in-'I li Ms , . - . It -.! . rt, I ...II.

Tho students must alsi learn the method of explaining catechism and Biblo history In a clear and solid man ner. Let priests lovo their schools 'as tho apple of their eye,' fre quently vlsltund Inspect them, or some department of them, at least onco a week; watching over tho children's morals, und spurring on their diligence by-proper enticements. Let them teach Catechism and Bible history themselves, or have them rightly taught by tho religious In charge. Take particular notice of the other studies; and by public examinations; once or twice a year, bring their schools before tho eyes of their people and commend them to their patronage. Especial care bo taken that all text books bo written (or edited) by Catho lic authors Tho priests' pro motion to an Irremovable rcctorato of other dignity will depend upon their care of their schools." Here may bo Interjected what tho plenary council directs In regard to Catechism which, it is to be trusted, will bo regarded as not so much In truding the affairs and duties of tho rev. clergy on tho notice of tho people, as affording protection for pastors to refer to, when sometimes the laity may bo disposed to attribute their conduct to the caprice of over-zeal or even a domineering spirit. "It in our desire that rectors of cburchetor their aeiiaUnte very often flH the oatecbiam olaeaee on Sundays, tad on week days those of tho parish school M well a colleges or high schools and academies of boys and girls not under tho management of priests. Teachers, whether religious or lay men, not of priestly dignity, have not assigned to them the duty of teaching the word of Cod, though they aro to bo accounted as assistants In tho training of youth, 'The lips of tho priest shall keep knowledge and they shall require tho law at his mouth.' Wo therefore command rectors to glvo assiduous at tention to the little ones, especially at the time they aro being prepared to approach the Holy Table for the first time. Tho rectors themselves or their assistants shall, at least where they reside or can easily reach, touch such children the catechism for six weeks at tho shortest, three times each week. Let no ono bo admitted to confirmation if not diligently Instructed In what per tains to the nature and effects of this sacrament, Also arrange so tout the boy and girl shall bo taught more thoroughly In Christian doctrine and morals for two years after their first communion," Suction II, "Acta t Peer,, p. Jl. lleforrlng to the chapter on the Edu cation ol tho Young, the fathers contin ue by laying down tho DUTY Of TIIK LAITV. "II, As to our faithful people, we exhort and command them to bo so well Instructed that they may become accustomed to regard their purocblul school as an essential adjunct to the parish, without which the futur exists ence of tho congregation will Imj lmter lied, Let them li clearly and earnest ly taught that tho school Is nowise matter of choice with tho priest to prove his overflowing zeal or adopted to fill up his leisure tlmo pleasantly and honorably. It Is a duty and burden imposed upon tho priest by tho church to bo religiously borne by him, but not without the aid of his people Nor with less zeal und prudence is the erroneous opinion to bo uprooted from tho minds of the luity, viz., that the solicitude for the school Is to lsi con fined to that portion of the congregu tlon actually and directly making use of It for their children. It must bo plainly demonstrated that tho profits and blessings accruing from the preser vutlon of faith and morals In parochial schistls redound to tho benefit of the whole community. "Whence It shall come to puss that tho people of the parish will prize and cherish their school next to their church, as tho preserver of faith and good morals and the fruitful mother of children, who shall be a joy and a con isolation to all.
