I a cannot, however, say that In European countries the control by the Roman. Catholic Churcn of great areas of land has always led to happiness for the people of those countries." Cardinal Spellman said in his letter to Mrs. Roosevelt that "your record of anti-Catholicism tis) unworthy of an American mother." She replied: "I assure you that I have no sense of being an "unworthy American mother The final judgment, my dear Cardinal Spellman, of the worthiness of all human beings is in the hnds of God." Tracing briefly the development of public schools in this country, Mrs. Roosevelt said: TRACES DEVELOPMENTS "It is fallacious, I think, to say that because children going to public schools are granted free text books in some states, free transportation, or free school lunches, that these same things must be given to children going to private schools. "Different states, of course, have done different things as they-came under majority pressure from citizens who had certain desires, but basically by and large, throughout the country.T think there is still a feeling that the public school Is the school which is open to all children, and which is supported by all the people of the country and that anything that is done for the public schools should be done for them alone.

"I would feel that certain medical care should be available to all children, but that is a different thing and should be treated differently. If we set up free medical care for all children, then It should not be tied in with any school. STRESS AGREEMENTS I should like to point out to you that I talked about parochial schools and that to my mind means any schools organized by any sectarian group and not exclusively a Roman Catholic school. Children attending parochial schools are. of course, taught according to the tenets of their respective churches.

"As I grow older it seems to me important that there be no great stress laid oh our divisions but that we stress as -much as possible our agreements." She added: "Anyone who knows history, particularly the history of, Europe, will, I think, recognize that the domina- uua ui Euuciiuaa or ui government Dy any one particular relieious faith, is never a happy arrangement for the peoDle. "Spiritual leadership should remain spiritual leadership and the temporal, power should not become too important in anychurch." Rose to Address Lions OVERMORE, July 27. Joe M.
