CARDINAL’S VIEW ON EDUCATION
LONDON, Oct. 24—“ We don’t want to be ordinary men and women; we want to be extraordinary, and uncommon. In fact, we war? to be the heroes of the twentieth century,” said the Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster (Dr. Griffin) in an address to the Catholic Students’ Union of Edinburgh. He said: “In these stirring and difficult times we must never be depressed. The greater the danger, the greater must be our efforts. It would appear that many educationists today arc- seeking to present education without tears. The result is that, the student fails to be clem in expression and precise in detail. The curriculum 4s overloaded. Examinations are exacting, and we are in danger of becoming ‘broadcast minds.’ One main danger in modern education is propaganda, as we see it used in the universities of Eastern Europe, to propagate false philosophies.”
