Waters, Bishop of Raleigh Renowned Little Singers of Paris _ Appear in Raleigh and Durham RALEIGH—The Little Singers of Paris, who bring to this country a reputation as France’s best-loved choral group, will offer a concert on Saturday, October 29, at 8:00 p.m. at Sacred Heart Cathedral here. On Sunday, October 30, the Lit tle Singers of Paris will give an other concert at Immaculate Con ception Church, Durham; the hour, 4:00 p.m. Now on its sixth tour of America, the 32-voice boys’ choir has a history as rich and varied as its extensive repertoire. The choir was founded in 1907 by a group of Parisian students in terested in spreading the beauty of liturgical music. The Little Sing ers have since given more than 10,000 concerts in over 32 coun tries. A famous Church ruling by Pope Pius X in 1903 — called the “Motu Proprio” — gave the students the first idea for the boys’ choir. The ruling appealed for an improve ment in the quality of music sung in the churches. It advocated bringing back good liturgical mu sic and strongly urged the' forma tion of boys’ choirs to sing this music. The musicianship of the young singers is so outstanding that is has inspired such famous French com posers as Darius Milhaud, Francis Poulenc and Georges Auric to cre ate works especially for them.

ANN, Page 8) Youth Week Inaugurates Crusade for Vocations ROCKY MOUNT — This Sunday every Catholic Youth in North Carolina is invited to kneel at the Communion rail of his St. Genevieve-of-the-Pines Hears Adler on Education ASHEVILLE—Dr. Mortimer Adler, Director of the Institute of Philosophical Research, spoke this past week to a large audi ence of parents, teachers and students in the auditorium of St. Genevieve of the Pines, Ashe ville. Dr. Adler summarized the problems facing Democracy to day, placing emphasis on those connected with American Edu cation. In earlier days, said Dr. Adler, only those men were educated who were preparing to live as free men, who were to play a role in polit ical affairs; hence the origin of the term LIBERAL as applied to education. Such men used their leisure time, not for recreations or debasing pastimes or idleness, but in ennobling pursuits. Since in present day society, all enjoy the privilege of universal suffrage, all must be educated to live well and to take a part in our Democrary. To meet this prob lem of mass education^ we have watered down the curriculum, sub stituted vocational training for true scholarship. But vocational train ing has no place in education; that belongs to the shops, which are far better equipped to teach it than the schools. True learning should be over (See ADLER, Page 8) parish church. The Feast of Christ the King marks the opening of a second an nual Crusade for Vocations, con ducted by the Catholic Youth of America.

Waters of Raleigh, declared at the ninth regional Con fraternity of Christian Doctrine congress here.

North Carolina Catholic is go ing to be the best weekly in the state. And it is. How, you wonder, can ama teurs put out a paper that rivals professionals? It’s difficult, perhaps, not, however, as difficult as you may think. The professional newspaper man prints what he thinks the reader wants. But you are the reader. Cer tainly you know better than he .does what you want to read. And some of you are pro fessionals. Others of you, while not professionals, can write very well. There are people like: Lane Kerr at Our Lady of Grace in Greesnboro, a pro fessional reporter with the Greensboro Daily News who" can write with the best of the men in this state. Nancy West in Charlotte’s new St. Anne’s parish, with a flare for words and the ability to write. Bob Connelly of Our Lady of the Assumption in Charlotte, assistant state news editor of The Charlotte Observer. Bob’s already written a few stories for us. Guy Munger, another Greensboro fellow who can turn out interesting copy. Professionals and amateurs. We’ve got them all. How about you? Can we add your name to the list? See your priest. If he okays you as correspondent for your parish, then write us. If you- are first, the job will be yours. the 8 o’clock opening Mass at St. Patrick’s Church.
