refs Talk It Over

At the risk of being called a "carbon copy" writer. we must second the opinion ' 1. rin- ed that the only type of French instruction worth while forIJun- ior grades must put the emphasis on conversation. The achievement. moreover. should be measured by the proficiency of the young students in speaking and under- standing the French language af- ter a reasonable amount of in- struction has been given to at- tain those ends.

Instruction in the printed (French) word has its values. of course. Theoretically when a student takes four or five years of written French. he should be able to extract the meaning from a news item in a French news- paper. for example. But what students of high school French ever read French newspapers. French magazines. or stories? Reading French signs on a Que- bec highway is about as far as they go. There is such a wealth of ngllsh reading at our dis- posal. we simply never get around

any other language. Conse- uently, the passage of the years ds our French ocabularles growing more and more inade- quate for lack of practice.

A working knowledge of oral French is much more practical. The ability to speak and under- stand a foreign language must he intriguing. and could be kept in a satisfactory state with little effort by occasional tete-a-tetes a- mong the pupils tberrisclves. Adults cutistanlly meet with sit- uations where the skills would be helpful. The royal commis- sion on education in Ontario re- commended a compulsory course of conversational French on the first two years of secondary schools so that "The children's lives would be enriched cultur- ally. besides gaining definite

practical advantages." Oral French in the earlier grades might be a good idea. The proof to the pudding, of course. would be in the eating. It would be wise. too. we think to put more stress on the oral side of high school French instruction.

Like- wise .ytiur career in the Holy Priesthood.-first years as curate in a mining town. then for many years professor of philostipiiy at your Alma Mater and for the last three years. pastor of an lil'l.)iln parish in an industrial center. served to prepare you for the onus of the episcopate.

"The Basilica in which you are entbroned today is symbolic of the faith, vision and courage of those who undertook to build it and of the sacrifice and gererosity of those who contributed to it. not only from the Cathedral Parish but from the whole diocese for it was the Mother Church. "The faithful of this diocese have been noted for their deep and abiding faith and for their spirit of sacrifice and generosity in extending the kingdom of Christ, and this has borne abund- ant fruit in the numerous voca- tions here to the priesthood and sisterhood.

"The good works accomplished

"From time immemorial. there existed between the members of this flock and their separated bre- thren. cordial relations and mut- ual understanding. In the present chaotic state of affairs, when the bastion: of Christianity are undei attack and a ruthless attempt is made to eradicate the name of God from the world. it is meet that all who profess Christianity should have a deeper and more realistic understanding of the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of man. "We feel assured that under your enlightened leadership with the enthusiastic support of the Clergy and Religious and the gen- erous cooperation of the lalty. you will be able to do great things for the glory of God and the ex- tension of his ' ingdom in the Dioc- ese of Charlottetown.

"On behalf of the Clergy of the Diocese of Charlottetown."

FROM THE LAITY

Text of address delivered on be- half of the lalty by Mr. Justice M. R. McGuigan:

"Your Excellency:

"On this happy occasion of your installation as Bishop of the Sec of Charlottetown. the laity of your new diocese wish to offer you their humble and respectful congratulations on your elevation to this exalted office in the Church. and to extend a sincere and heart- lf:lt welcome to their Island Prov-

ce. . "It is characteristic of life that

lines; your theological studies in even on an iiccasioiiuitkekthizi-3lafllep PMC9551118 P131115 the Grand Seminary of Montreal. ilegree.ui' sadness can be mingled pT0VmC9-

with our Joy. in our minds today are memories of that quiet, kind- ly. learned man who was our bishop for a decade and whose episcopate is now an eternal one. He has left oti us the imprint of his personality. and we shall not lsouti forget him.

"However, there is joy in the fact that the same riioccsc vihich motliered him now sends us an- other greai churcltman to be our shepherd. indeed. our relationship with the neighbouring diocese of Antigonisb has long been a cord- ial one. Our people are largely similar in origin and outlook. We have long shared similar social and economic problems and have made use of similar remedies. ()tir sister institutions of higher education-St. Francis Xavier and St. Dunstan's. have for more than a century maintainctl both a friendly rivalry and a spirit of co- operation.

”Of Your Exccilcticys qualities of mind and spirit we have heard much. Your priestly labour in par- ish and school have well acquaint- ed you with the pastoral problems to be encountered and your train- ing in the realms of theology and philosophy. received in universities both on this continent and in Eur- ope. as well as your long teach- ing experience. have filled you admirably for the intellectual re- sponsibilities of the episcopate. It is especially pleasing to us that one of arch scholastic distinction will be the new chancellor of our university.

"It is fitting on this nrt-anion that we assure Your Excellency of our friendship and loyalty and we shall strive to lighten in every way the burden of your office. Pope Pius Xl's call for the partici- pation of the Ialty in the work of the hierarchy has not gone completely uniieeded, and in our age there is an increasing aware- ness amting Catholic laymen of their identity with the restoration of all things in Christ. g

"Thus the laity of this diocese offer Your Excellency our fullest .co-operation in all your dutics..

"It is for us a matter of some significance that Your Excellency should bear the name of the first Bishop of Charlottetown. To the people of this diocese the name of Bishop Macliachcrn stands as a symbol of courage In the face of adversity. The problems we are presented with today are con- siderably different from those of -his time. but we know you will meet them with the same cour- age that characterized your great predecessor.
