I have been asked to state what my ideas are asto the opening of Parish schools to colored Catholicchildren. So far as the Diocese of St. Paul is con^cerned, my ideas are very decided that no distinetionshould be made as to color of pupils in parish such distinction ever has been made in ourschools. No such distinction ever shall be made. I am not well informed as to the practice inthis regard through other dioceses, but if admissioninto parish schools is refused to colored children, I donot see on what principle the act can be justified, andI believe that if a respectful remonstrance against itgoes out from the convention there shall be no repeti-ion of it. 159 Things often occur from force of mere tradi-tion which cease so soon as attention is drawn tothem. Wherever there are not separate schools fully-equipped for the instruction of colored children, theseare admitted on equal terms with the white children,. , SUXX. into all public schools, and surely it shall not be saidthat the State goes farther than Holy Chursh iathe application of the great Christian principles ofthe brotherhood of men and the common fatherhoodof God. The Church is Catholic—instituted for all andall must feel equally her motherhood. 160 ARCHBISHOP RTASS UTTERANCES ; We also quote, with deep gratification, the wordsof Archbishop .Ryan, under whose patronage theCongress is held, in his address
