The dominant purpose of this thesis is to present in a limited way a program of studies for the four years of high school, broad enough to challenge the brightest pupil and simple enough in arrangement to appeal to the less gifted. The material has been divided purposely into units of study which will enable the teacher to present the direct message of Jesus Christ according to the modern trend of educational methods and the present need of Catholic action and social welfare. This outline has been made in the hope of contributing, in even the slightest degree, a better approach to the study of religion--a study which is a most vital factor in the lives of our students.
