IMMIGRATION 10 THE SOUTH.

The last Legislature thought immigration
from Europe of 30 much Importance that it
passed a series of acts for the purpose of en-
couraging it, By of these bureau was
established, with chief at its head and several
assistants. Several agencies were established
in Europe aud large sums were expended on
publications in various languages, but up to
this time we have not heard of much success
that have attended the labors Of the bureau.
Tho large majority of immigrants to this
country come from Switzerland, ireland and
Germany. In Ireland,~the great bulk of the
pcople, as we all know, arc Catholics. Switzer-
land is about equally divided,and in Germany
the Catholics are in the majority.
In Switzerland and Germany, the populations
are distinctly divided according to their creeds;
thus we have the Catholic Swiss cantons, and
in Germany we have Bavaria, Baden, and the
Rhenish and Westphalian provinces of Prussia,
nearly all are Catholics; and it is thus that
these people emigrate-they go in a body either
all Protestant all Catholic.
Every ono knows that hesCatholc peasantry
of Europe love and practice their holy religion !;
and when from poverty OF any other cause they
are compelled to leave their native homes the
first thing they seek and require is facilities for
attending to their religious duties.
| Itwas this feeling that made the first Irish
immigrants prefer our cities to the country
| whcro there were NO places of worship, and
still particularly in the South keeps them there.
| We believe that for some years past the great
majority of the emigrants that came to this
country were Catholics, and we wish the South
to derive some portion of the benefits that tho
/ North and West receive from the vast tide OF
population that they daily receiving.
We know of no greater inducement that can
be held out to those people aifesGsty Us
than for our citizens to encourage the building
of Catholic churches in our country Districts
As we have said abeve, the immigrants from the
continent of Europe cor.e>ih a body, and some
times bring their priests with them:S and will
only 60 where they know that Catholic churches
! arc to DO found
wewin not urge the fact upon our country
friends, that eminent Protestant writer's have
\ given it as their unbiased opinion, that the
Catholic peasantry of Europe are the most
moral, sober, honest, and religious portion Of
the population, a reason for their taking
action in this matter. Their own self-interest
4 we hope, will induce them to do it.

SCHOOLS AND SCHOLARS.

The propriety of restricting the hours
and studies of students has engaged the at
tention of parents and guardians in q most
earnest manner. That there is wrong some-
where seems to be tho general conclusion.
Without indorsing the views of extremists,
we give the following from Halls JournaIYof
Health, as worthy Of consideration, particu-
larly the fifth paragraph. Butany system will
be defective which does not engage the cons
cience of the teacher. The admirable system
of Catholic colleges and the schools conduct
ed by the Christian Brothers, must recon-
mend itself to every judicious mind:
First, no child under fifteen years of age
ought to DO kept in school over four hours ill
Second, child under fifteen years of age
ought to be allowed to take any book out of
tho school-roonl. =.
Third, examination ought to be allowed
for any purpose, or on any Prete4t whatever.
Fourth, all promotion and all diplomas should
be given on the basis of general good conduct
and efficiency.
Fifth, no man ought to DO accessible to tho
once Of school management, unless he has ac-
tually taught school seven years.
This thing of school examinations is an abb
surdity, farce, and q sham they are NOT IN
tended for tho benefit Of tho scholar, but tho
glorification of tho teacher. A scholar who
passes an examination is not a whit better
scholar an hour after than he was the hour be-
! fore; aud competent teacher ought to know
as well before an examination as after, whether
q scholar should pass or not.
1t is well known that many scholar passes
by q trick, or by q mere feat of memory, or
sheer impudence;- while a conscientious child,
| better qualified, fails to pass from dihidence or
want of memory.
The great idea in school teaching should be
to make the study agreeable, this alone would
show the capability and genius of tho teacher.
Tho second important point is to master first
| principles, in other words, to be thorough,
thorough, thorough. A child should not be al
lowed to make single advance in any study
until what has gone before has been wholly I'M
derstood and made level to the capacity of the
child it is the neglect Of these two things on
the part of the teacher which has driven multi
tudes of children from school and caused a
failure of an education which might have made
| them successful men and womenS>a in stead
of that, they nave I" run of, have gone to sea
| or have made of themselv es> common vaga bonds.
Make learning pleasurable, be thorough, this
il the way to make children love study and to
make good scholars, the world over, and in all
ages and nations, and without these the school
house will be purgatory, and education a
hateful thing Four hours IN school, four hours
in tho fields every day, rain or shine, these are
first the things.

A CALL FOR A PRIEST.

We respectfully direct the attention of the
Most Rev. Archbishop of New Orleans to the
following case of spiritual restitution i'll his
archdiocese:
BAsTRor, La, Jan. 10, 1868.
To the Editor of the Pilot:
g Dear .Sir-The Catholics of this place have
bought u lot for the building of Il church, but
we are all too poor to proceed with the erection
of the ediice. The people did not make any
crops this year.
"The Rev. Father Gargerad comesto Bastrop
twenty-eght miles from here. If we could
have a good priest come heres we could have a
church built in q short timer The people are
delighted whom they sec Catholic services, and
the whole town turns out when they hear of
his coming to preach.
"There are four churches here, Jew, Method
their Sunday schools regularly. We are as
large in proportion they are and the only
true religion, and We have no church. If we
could he to
a parish school, and in this way our children
and theft parents would be properly cared for.
"Yours respectfully,
The above is taken from the Boston Pilot.
| scarcely needed the reminder of our
Northern friend to arouse the ecclesiastical
authorities of either Galveston or New Or
leans, to the Importance of supplying the
spiritual desttution of which his correspon-
dent complains. All that human instru-
mentality can effect has been and is being
done to disseminate the "glad tidings of
great joy" in Texas. Bishop Dubuis. of
Galveston, brought several priests and SEM
inarians from Europe, on his return last fall.
Many of those he left, on his departure,
ardently engaged in their holy vocation,
fell victims to the yellow fever; SO that the
now recruits barely suf6ced to fill the vacan-
cies, leaving the average number about the

| Sustaining diocesan seminaries, from which
will issue candidates for holy orders accus-
toned to our climate, and capable of resist
ing the deadly miasma which has proved SO
disastrous to the precious}i lives of the priest
hood last summer. Frustrated as we are
in material resources, our Archbishop and
( his sufragans cannot effect what their great
i. hearts ardently desire; and if the calamity,
which has come from abroad, could find in
the same region generous hearts willing to
contribute toward sustaining these schools
our jealous prelates will supply the waste
