And, she warned the parents, since sta tistics show that most of their children will be going to col lege in the future, they, too, must be prepared to meet this challenge. In their discussions on "quality"' education, Sister Gerard Mary said, it was in teresting to note that the delegates did not favor a pro gram which would neglect any part of the child's total development, and that they did not want the democratic way of education to be re placed by the Communistic way. Concluding her summary, Sister Superior said she was impressed by the sincere, in telligent, f oreward - looking people in attendance at the meeting.
