F EW people will give you an argu-
ment against art. Theologians and high
school principals and middle-aged parents
admit it is a pleasant form of entertain-
. ment and even a worthwhile human ac-
tivity. They will all go along with the
idea that art is original interpretation of
things and emotions created or provided
for by God.
Coming closer to home, many people
prefer that real live artists, painters and
writers and composers, stay within famil-
iar-patterns. They don’t want to be shock-
ed by variations either in church or gal-
leries or in books. This uneasy toleration
of art may account for the neglect of it
in our parish schools. In very few of them
are there regular courses either in prac-
tice or in appreciation. There are good
reasons for this, one simply being that
there has not been time in the school day
for this truly human and religious pursuit.
So quite apart from the question of
producing more Catholic artists, we are at
the same time not preparing ourselves and
our children for the enjoyment during lei-
sure time when it comes to us. We drift
into passive entertainments, and our spir-
its atrophy somewhere near the level of
movie magazine reading, rock and roll mu-
sic and billboard pictures. Many of us go
through long years of formal education,
unstimulated even to awareness that an
exciting world is- within our reach. We
travel the same humdrum road that was
necessary when hardship and lack of fa-
cilities prevailed among us. Now, it may
or may not be too late to fill in the gaps
in our own lives where knowledge of fine
arts and literature is deficient, but why
should we perpetuate this lack among our
growing children?
We have found we cannot depend on
Schools and police officers and health clin-
ics for all the services our children need.
Because of the pressure of work, and some-
times out of laziness, we have handed over
- both technical training and religious train-
ing to people better qualified but more
limited than we are.
In the arts, there are facilities now in
every community and we should use them.
Hardly a town exists where there is no
band or choral society, library or little
theater. We must make it possible for our
Children to take part in them. It may be
just as vital to their Christian education

THE TEN
MAJOR FAULTS
OF WIVES
The April, 1960 issue of The Fami-
ly- Digest -published an article
“Ten Major Faults of Husbands.”
This proved to be quite a popular
article, although we frankly sus-
pect that more wives read it than
husbands. In the August Family
Digest, the same author lists and
discusses “Ten Major Faults of
Wives.” There are many wives who
are guilty of none of the faults
listed. However, no wife should
miss the examination of consci-
ence the listing offers.
This article is one of many fami-
ly articles in the August Family
Digest. Get your copy at your par-
ish magazine rack or start your

parents admit they don’t know
HOW to explain sex simply and
clearly to their children.
This volume, written by Rev.
John A O’Brien, Ph.D., is designed
to help parents unfold the pertinent
facts of sex to their children—from
the time at which they first begin to
ask about birth until they are ready
for marriage. In its 18 chapters
more than a dozen outstanding au-
thorities give generously of their
experiences and success in teaching
the Christian aspect of sex to
young people This volume is back
again by popular demand!

■
When children ask about sex they
are often met with evasions, post-
ponements, fairy tales and other
forms of deception.....because
for you to work at arranging tours to mu-
seums and selling tickets to concerts, to
judge oratorical contests and essays, as to
work in the school cafeteria. But the
groundwork for wanting to hear music,
look at pictures, and read books must be
begun and continued at home.
Open-mindedness toward family mem-
bers and outsiders who make honest ef-
forts to create different kinds of art will
do as much good as paying for-music les-
sons and buying pictures, though these are
desirable. We should provide a space for
work, and material opportunities for chil-
dren of all ages, and restrain ourselves
from the frequent urging to “clean up your
mess.” But far more important is keeping
alive in a young person the sensitivity to
sights and sounds that he was born with.
We should often notice aloud, watching and
listening with our growing people, the
things God made and the things man has
made out of what God made. I admit this
is a tougher assignment if your child’s
sense of wonder has been lost, or is cover-
ed with conservatism he has picked up"
from friends or from school.
TP HERE is no immediate turning a
young girl away from jazz to the classics; .
but a gradual variation in the kinds of
jazz she hears might extend her horizon
to tolerating a few classics. She may be
led from a one-periodical mind through
several new magazines to new writers and
new plays. If our young ladies have not
. been carefully taught by our prejudices to
shrug at new kinds of church buildings
and experiments in religious interiors, they
will not scorn all the living, creative work
of the future by gifted and earnest artists.
Of course, we must express our opinion on
what we see and hear, but not as if it
were dogma. Respect their interests, for
the age of adolescence is the age of ideal-
ism and sensitivity. -
I do not foresee any early additions to
the curriculum ( in our grade and high
schools. Wishing will not make it so. An
hour-a-day singing class under a skillful,
enthusiastic teacher, a session for reading
poetry or learning, to draw—these are
dreams fit for theologians and principals,
and middle-aged parents. The pressures of
overcrowded classrooms and the need for
passing state and diocesan examinations
will postpone the dream for all except the
most exceptional schools. In this area, we
parents must supplement as we have in
many others, with deliberate sacrifice
(which may become our greatest pleasure).
We ourselves will have to play the major
part in art education by preserving and
- stimulating what our children were born
with, the heart for art.
