sixteenth annual conyent ion Of 4 thas
Catholic Young MEMS National ~ MON. IL
to be held ii Washington thisiyear.
''The business which will come up
before the Convention is very extea. !
>sive and important. We hope toSS e..
tablish National lecture bureau; to, {
spread reading circles among the
mem bers Of all the societies; TO arrange 7
plan whereby fresh, practical sub -.s8
jects can be published every month; ta ]. !.
formulate a. model constitution which 4
can be a guide FOR associations to be
established in the future, and perhaps
an aid to those already in existence;to
secure the formation in each diocese OF
local union Of the societies, SO that
the young men everywhere can come
together freq uently during the year
in friendly contests for supremacy In
athletics, oratory and English compo-
sition; TO encourage tins formation OF
evening classes, libraries and gym
nasinms: and finally to discuss the
question of how larger material means
can be obtained wherever the societies
exist, with view to providing the
associations with better appliances for
both imurovement and pleasure,
MATTERS of such great consequence
evidently require the very best brains,
and the most perfect representation OF
those whose interest Is concerned, 30
bring them to II practical and .success"
ful ISSUE Therefore we ask every one
who loves the welfare OF our golden
youth, the prosperity Of the Catholic
Church, and the truest glory of our
common country, TO lend hand TO-

large, as able and as representative az
possible
