Questions Asked
Catholic Speakers

Q. Do you think that the Negro should go to the same school
as the white person?

A. Yes. We believe. particu sacty, that Catholic Negroes
ual *be accorded full and

equal (not separate) -enrollment
a the Catholic schools of Amer
The Negro is corifronted with
many educational handicaps; old
~buildings, out-of-date equipmen.
| and poorly-trained and_ poorlypaid teachers. The extreme example of this is an educational
expenditure of $17.04 yearfy for
Negro children in southern Negro states, as against $80.26 for
the United Statés as a whole.

Where else are we to begin
the training of succeeding generations in Christian morals and
culture, if not in our Parochial
schools?

Q. Is there any special answer
the Negroes have when asked
why they aren~t Catholics?

A. Except for southern Maryland, and Louisiana, most slave
owners were not Catholic; the,
slave took the religion of his
master, if he had any at. all,
hence, we find current membership in churches today to be
about 40% protestant (Bethodist
or Baptist) and 3% Catholic.
Conversions, however, are increasing yearly, amounting to
6,326 in 1943 and 50,000 during
the past decade.

~Probably remembering the old
adage ~beware the Greeks even
when bearing gifts,~ Queen Elizabeth of Britian used her trusty
umbrella with perfect timing and
accuracy to ward off a loyal subject intent upon giving his king
a 10-shilling note in person.

The royal party aboard the
~oyal car was parading last week
through this town, about 22 miles
~rom Johannesburg, when a native of an obscure, fanatic sect,
lressed in sackcloth with photographs, rushed up to the car shout |:
ing ~I want to see my king!~

The man leaped on the side of
the car nearest the queen who
quickly pushed him off with nes
umbrella. The car did not ne
