Referring to the recent rejection of the proposal to institute birth control clinics at Fremantle and Midland Junction. His Grace the Archbishop, speaking on Sunday afternoon at Fremantle, when he blessed and opened the extensions to St. Joseph's Infants' School, said that he wished to congratulate the District Councils of the Australian Labour Party on their attitude. In refusing to accept the proposal, said His Grace. they had done a great service to the community. He hoped that their attitude would be an incentive and an example to other official bodies to refuse co·operation in any such projects.
!STORY ga, e us continuous warning of the dangers of race suicide, conti ued His Grace. Some people to lay were unfortunately marrying for pleasure rather than for parenthood, for recreative rather than creative purposes. Conraception was doing steadily and insidiously what the great plague did in medieval times in Europe. I was destroying the population ust as surely. Marriage without motherhood, if contraception were the cause, might be a greater sin in the sight of God than motherhood without marriage. The modern world approved of the former, while it flung stones of contumelv at the latter. He hoped that the State Legislature would adhere to the principles of Christianitv and democracv, and would never be so unwise as, or unjust as, to take the retrogressive step of allowing the introduction of birth control clinics in any part of the State.

Record Attendance. Speaking of the new building which he had come to open, His Grace said that, modest as it was. it would nevertheless fill a very useful purpose, and it had been an urgent necessity. The original building had been erected in 1889. and the infants' school had been added two vears later. Since then the attendance had grown continuallv and the building had long been over taxed. A record number of children attended the school during this year, and the attendance for all the schools of the Fremantle district also constituted a record. This was a very happy state of affairs, and there was no reasons whv it should not continue if our Catholic people realised their duty as Christians. a duty which they also owed to themselves and to their country. The Sisters of St. Joseph of the Apparition had done great service since thev had first come to Fremantle in the verv early davs irom France, and one of the sur-

He wished to join with the Very Rev. Father Haugh, said His Grace, in expressing gratitude to the Mavor of Fremantle. Mr. Gibson. and to the body of which he was the distinguished head, for the encouragement they had alwavs given to the work of the Catholic bodv in Fremantle. He hoped that the splendid spirit of co-operation would continue in the same genial cordiality and
harmony. His Grace was welcomed to Fremantle bv the Very Rev. Father Haugh. O.M.I. Other speakers were the Mayor of Fremantle. the Chairman of the Works Committee (Mr. Farrell), and the Rev. Father McLoughlin. C.SS.R. Mr. Gibson expressed his admiration for the work of the Sisters. whom he had known for a quarter of a century, and for the spirit of sacrifice which characterised their work. It was a pity, said Mr. Gibson, that this spirit was not universal. This would be a wonderful world if evervone were willing to work for the good of others without self-interest.
