Several answers are correct, but among them wc select the scries present ed by the Charles Carroll Forum at the Palmer House. The purpose of the Forum is to help alert people keep informed on leading social, economic, international, and cul tural problems of the day. Judging from speakers already contracted, it should accomplish its purpose superlatively. John Flynn of Town Hall of the Air fame opens the scries next Sunday after noon asking What Is Wrong With Us Now ? and answers his own question by outlining the American economic set up as he progresses. Good for economics students. Pan-American and World Peace will be discussed by Richard Patce, secretary of the Department of Cultural Relation? in the State Department, on Nov. 12. In asmuch as the relationships between Lat in America and South America and the United Slates on World Peace were definitely established at the Lima Con ference last year, a revelation of the sit uation should prove timely and informa tive. We recommend ibis one for Inter national Relations club members espe cially. Talks on Literature Theodore Maynard, intimate of the Chester-Bclloc group, tells all on Nov. 19 when he speaks on My Literary World. This feature and the one to be presented by Katherine Bregy, Catholic Poetry Society president, on The Ameri can Theatre Today, scheduled for April 14, provide ample variety for the literary and drama minded. For psychologists and sociologists-to- be, Henry C. Schumacher's discussion of Social Factors in Mental Health will solve many problems. Dr. Schumacher is director of the Cleveland Child Guid ance Clinic and president of the Catholic Conference on Family Life. The Abbe Ernest Dimnct, author of The Art of Thinking, and What We Live By, speaks on The Basic Prob lems of Europe Today, on Dec. 10. Those who have followed the Abbe's analyses of European problems in the past and have seen the truth of his pre dictions will doubly anticipate this ad dress. As one who knew Old Spain well, and who commands universal respect in his first-hand grasp of the new Spanish sit uation, since the triumph of General Franco, E. Allison Peers brings a fresh viewpoint of the subject to the Forum, speaking on The New .Spain, on March 31. Is Spanish Scholar Professor Peers, who succeeded the great Cervantes scholar, James Fitzmaur- icc-Kclly, at the University of Liver pool, is a leading authority on Spanish Mysticism and will Ik- guest lecturer this spring at the University of Notre Dame. The Right Reverend Francis C. Kelly, D.D., Bishop of Oklahoma City and Tulsa, and author of the best-seller, The Bishop Jots It Down, will analyze The Future of Christianity in America, on March 3. Bishop Kelly is founder and was for many years president of the Catliolic Church Extension Society. What Is The Place of Woman To day? Alice Curtayne, Irish biographer and essayist, qualifies for this exposition because of her prominent niche in the field of letters. Scheduled for Feb. 11. With this distinguished roster of nine already contracted, and an equally out standing group of lecturers still to be announced, the Charles Carroll Forum, directed by the Reverend James A. Mag ner. instructor at Quigley Preparatory seminary, occupies a strong place and fills a greatly needed position in the field of Catholic intellectual endeavor. The Forum is particularly eager to en list the support of college students, since it looks to the college graduates of to morrow as its future patrons and pro- motors.
