Catholic Boards of Education

By Editor

THE following item from the Lever is worthy of note: "The Catholics have set on foot a project which is, perhaps, the most important of any they have yet undertaken in regard to school matters in this country. It is to establish boards of education in all large cities, that shall have charge of all the Catholic schools, and thus systematize and make more effective the work of Catholic education. The first has just been instituted at Milwaukee, and the work is under the immediate authority and canonical blessing of the pope. This action is most significant and important, and will virtually consolidate the Catholic school system of America under the management and direction of Rome."
