Excerpt from The Catholic Educational Review, Vol. 14: June-December, 1917 These two mistakes in conducting our classes in religion can be very easily remedied. The latter by simply establishing the rule that failure in Christian Doctrine means privation of privi leges and exclusion from representing the school on athletic teams; the former, by giving credits for work done. If one credit is given for a year's study of a cultural subject like history for a certain number of class periods of a definite length, then surely for the same number of periods of half that length, one-half credit should be given. This is seen as altogether reasonable when we consider that there is no subject more cultural than the study of religion. And in doing this we would - simply be following in the wake of all sectarian colleges and some non sectarian, which give Bible study and other branches of the study of religion a dignified place in the curriculum, along with credits for work done. Of course we should not be content to follo'w these colleges, least of all in this matter. Rather we should endeavor to surpass them. But at present in many respects we are very far behind.
