THE GOVERNMENT SERVICE.
"A DISTINCT LOSS TO'THE CATHOLIC BODY." ' (3i, Tclcgraiin.-Spccial Correspondent.! Auckland, December 7. In tho annual report of tho Sacred Heart College, the following passage ocenrred with reference to Governmental Departments :—"lt is not without a certain amount of fear that we seb young Catholics forced to take situations in a service which experience tells us is little likely to improve them, and in which so few of tho highest positions fall to their lot. Every intelligent Catholic boy who' goes into the Government scrricb with a view to permanency is a distinct loss to the Catholic body.- His talents would find suitable outlet in the professions where he would bo also better able to servo his Church. There are only two cases in which wo would recommend a youth to take a position ns a Government servant: (a) When he wishes to make this a means for facilitating pursuit of his higher studies; '(b) when there is no other opening for him."
