Nigerian Priest On Education Inspection

The first part of the ceremony was held in the Vatican Regal Hall in the presence of President Segni, officials of the Balzan Foundation, other Balzan prize-winners and members of the diplomatic corps. Then Pope John and the others—except President Segui, who had a cold—went to St. Peter's Basilica to

hear, in the words the Pope used in inviting the others to join him, "the echo of the support all hearts give to
the sublime ideal of peace." The following day Pope John went to the Quirinal Palace, where he arrived just after the winners of other Balzan prizes had received their awards. A 21-gun salute by the Italian Army thundered out as Pope John entered Italian territory. At the moment the Pontiff crossed the threshold of the Quirinal Palace, the papal flag was run up over the building's clock tower to fly next to the Italian flag.
HOLY FATHER'S APPEAL IN THE CUBAN CRISIS It was the second time the Balzan Peace Prize has
been awarded and the first time it has been won by an individual. The first award went to the Nobel Foundation of Stockholm. The prize is named for the late Eugenio Balzan editor of the Milan newspaper, "Corriere della Sera," who left Italy for Switzerland during the Fascist era. The citation of the award was read to the Pope in the Regal Hall by Arangio Ruiz, president of the Balzan Foundation's awards committee. It said the prize given to the Pontiff is intended to be "a public recognition of your activity in favour of brotherhood among men and among all people through appeals for peace and to the goodwill of men, and your recent intervention at the diplomatic level." The latter was taken as a reference to the Pope's appeal for peace at the height of the Cuban crisis last October when Soviet ships carrying arms were sailing towards a United States naval blockade of that island nation. The citation also praised the Pope "for having promoted the brotherhood of men and peoples, particularly during the last year, inviting representatives of other Christian faiths, Qrthodox and Protestant, to a ttend the Ecumenical Council and take an active part in it." President Segni then presented Pope John with a scroll stating he had won
the prize and stating the reasons why, as well as the insignia of the prize consisting of a gold chain and medal.
ST. PETER'S CEREMONY A large but quiet crowd assembled in St. Peter's. Cardinals and diplomats took their places informally, There was applause as the Pope arrived on a portable throne, but no shouting. Once the Pope had taken his place on a throne before the Altar of the Confession, former Italian President Giovanni Gronchi, who is now head of the Balzan Foundation, spoke of Pope John's address of Easter when he said that the basis of international peace is primarily truth. Pope John in reply recalled the five Popes he had known in his lifetime—Leo XIII, St. Pius X, Benedict XV, Pius XI and Pius XII. All of them were, he said, "true friends of humanity and courageous artisans of true peace."
In the court of his address he emphasised points made in his Holy Thursday
* FATHER JOHN ADENEYE, of St. Joseph's Teacher Training College in Nigeria. is at present in Perth as a member of a group of educators from African countties studying our education methods. They are sponsored by the programme for Commonwealth Co-operation in Education. Father Adeneye, who was ordained in 1947 after studies in Nigeria, holds a Doctorate in Canon Law, obtained in Rome in 1955. While in Perth he is staying with the Christian Brothers at Clontarf. The group with whom Father Adeneye is travelling has had an extensive itinerary on their examination of the State educational system. They have been in Australia for two months and on Thursday, May 23, will leave Perth for Hobart and then to Sydney. At the end of June the party will return to their various African countries. While here, Father Adeneye has met His Grace the Archbishop, assisted His Lordship Bishop McKeon during the celebration of Mass at the Teachers' Training College, Graylands, and has spoken to the Loyola and Aquinas societies in Claremont and Graylands colleges. Father Adeneye said that he was very edified by the trainee teachers at both colleges and that he was impressed by the widespread educational policy of the governments,

He noted that "for the Primary Education first time in the history of the Roman pontiff's," a prize He said that in Nigeria, for peace has been given to each of the three States is a rope. responsible for education
within the State and Lagos, the federal capital, also provides education for the federal territory. In Lagos, he said, primary education is free for eight years, beginning from the age of five. The government provides the school buildings, pays the teachers' salaries, supplies books for the pupils and gives sortie money to the managers to run the schools. Father Adeneye said that the schools are mostly managed by various voluntary agencies, consisting of Catholics, Anglicans, Methodists, Baptists and Moslems. Only very few schools are managed by the municipal c ouncil of Lagos, he said.
Secortdory Education Father Adeneye said that secondary education was not free in Nigeria, but the government pays the salaries of teachers and part of
the cost of the buildings and equipment. He said that in Lagos the four teachers' training colleges were run by the govern-
ment, Moslems, Catholics and Protestants. •IN NIGERIA, there are t wo million Catholics in a population of 42 million. Its area is 339,156 square miles—a bit larger than a third of Western Australia.
