Church Schools Seen
Undergoing Revolution
CHICAGO — (NC) — The
entire Catholic school system is
“in the middle of a revolution
in attitudes, methods and con
trol,” according to a survey
made by a national Catholic
magazine.
“Radical changes are being
made toward such things as
teaching of religion, relations
with the Protestants, and sex ed
ucation,” the U.S. Catholic, pub
lished here by the Claretian Fa
thers, reports in its April issue.
The magazine reports on a
nationwide canvass of opinion
among Catholic diocesan school
superintendents. It deals pri
marily with the study of pres
ent day development and the fu
ture of the schools on the ele
mentary and high school level.
Here’s what’s happening in the
Catholic schools, as the magazine
reports.
They are breaking away from
Catholic isolation by seeking the
opinions of others.
There is improved communi
cation in some dioceses between
schools and parents.
In 17 of the 25 largest Cath
olic school systems, special edu
cational programs have started
for deprived children from Ne
gro, Puerto Rican, Appalachian
and Ozark neighborhoods.
Laymen are taking over many
diocesan school administrative
posts.
Many of the diocesan systems
have adopted new religion text
books based on the Scriptures
and liturgy rather than on the
old Baltimore catechism.
All of the diocesan systems
are teaching the “new math
ematics.”
