DANIEL o'CoNNEL IN FRENCH.

hg1ous nature appeals to Catholic
France 1t is SO remarkable for French
men to find public man whose fnflu-

his day and who is at the same time
a sincere, devout Christian. Daniel
O'Connell was all this: a great man. a.
public servant, an agitator who swayed
the destiny of millions, and all the
while he had a prayerful spirit and a
devout heart.
. The Catholic World Magazine for
June publishes a pleasing sketch of
the meeting between MontaIembert and
OConnell. They were kindred snirits
working on the same lines. with the
same great aims in view. Lacordafre

CATHOLIC COLLEGES SUPERIOR,

The passage alarms between Father
Brosnahan and President Eliot may de-
stroy the opinion that fingers still in the
minds of some Catholics, that our col
leges are inferior to those under Pro-
testant auspices" says the Catholic
Record. Not any one of them can
train and develop character in the way
that it is done by the humblest Catho-
lie college. Mont Catholic colleges are
in a great many instanc es superior in
wealth and material equipment, but in
the guiding of heart and mind-in
everything demanded by true education
they are distinctly inferior. Bduca
rionalists who yield no allegiance admit
this, and yet, despite the warnings of
friends and the testimonies of those
without the fold, there are parents who
believe that Catholic institutions are
behind the times and are consequently
not capable of educating their Off
spring. They have eyes and they see
not; they have ears and they hear not;
they are on their foolish. worldly knees
before the scarecrow planted in educa-
tlonal fields by departed bigots."

A NEW POINT OF DISCUSSION.

An interesting discussion of methods
started at the Educational Conference
of Catholic Teachers in Chicago, and
of this we have not as yet heard the
end, because it strikes at methods
which have the sanction Of centuries
The Jesuits have their ratio studiorum,
which is traditional in the society; the
Christian Brothers have their methods
which have come down from educators
of the last century, and, as may be sup
posed, they are not going to yield what
is traditional with them for anything
which cannot go back over genera
ton. Father Burns of Notre Dame en-
ters the list as an advocate of newer
methods. His principle is that, as there
are varying minds among students,
there must be elective courses of stud
les. In these days of specialization there
must be concentration; so he would
have the Catholic colleges get away
from it's hide-bound curriculum and
broaden out. His article in the Catho-
lie World Magazine for June on THE
Elective System of Studies" is worthy
of the closest study. It will undoubt-
edly be answered, and before the mat
ter is set at rest the most famous ed
ucators in the country will have en-
tered for the contest. Father Burns
suggests as principles to be discussed
the following:
THE cultivation of special aptitudes,
if right and desirable at all, should not
be neglected in the college. The col |
lege cannot shift the responsibility on i
to the university, on the ground that !
the latter is the proper place for Spe- |
cialization. The reason is, that only q /
very small proportion of college grad |
yates, ever go to universities; and
moreover, the university courses them |
selves preSuppose, on the part OF the |
college student, some degree of con-
centration of studies. have been in
formed, on very trustworthy author
ity, that no graduate of college in
which the uniform curriculum obtains
may hope for admittance to most of
the courses in Johns Hopkins UNIVERSE
ty, without an extra year or so of prep
aration; and this, not from prejudice,
or any desire of discrimination, but
simply from the students unfitness for
the highly specialized work of the uni
versity, through lack of necessary pre-
liminary concentration.
In determining the ideal, the life
purpose of the student must be taken
into consideration. This is a practical
age, and the college of today must not
only turn out cultured gentlemen, but
must enable a young man to fit him
self, if need be, for some useful career
n life. Since the great majority of
college graduates never go to a uni !
yersity or professional school, it is plain
hat, in their case at least, the col :
eye must do this work, if it is to be ,
lone at all. With the onward march
# civilization, and the increasing di-
-ersity of intellectual occupations, the I
demands upon the college in this way E
viii be also likely to increase. 1t is to )
he merit of the elective system that it !
ends itself readily to any special a
of the kind that may be de- {
ired.'' r

LOST AND FOUND.

A charming little anecdote is related
IN the life of Father John Bosco. the
founder of many charitable institutions
IN Europe. One day little boy belong
ing to his orphanage was found weep
ing bitterly. The lad was about to
make a general confession and had
written his sins in a copy book. either
because he was scrupuIous or becausa
he found them too numerous to remem-
Der readily. He lost this inventory of
all he had, or rather of all he had NOT
Tor when we commit sin we lose virtue
and gain vice. The child's grief was
uncomfortable, and so he was BROUGHT
TO rather Bosco. The latter took tbe
little fellow upon his knee and asked
him what the trouble was. .eT have
lost all my sins!" he said, amid his
tears and sobs. Happy boy, to lose
your slns!' said the kind old man: "but
still happier are you if you never find
them, for being sinless you will be near
TO God" Then he consoled the little
chap by telling him that he had found
the copy book containing his sins. eff
had known that" the little fellow said
with a happy smile, 'I would not have
crled; and when 1 went to confession
L would have said: Father. accusa
myself of all the sins in your pocket
There is for US lesson to be learned
from the child's simplicity and earnest
ness There is no danger we will write
down our sins and then lose them
No; the trouble is we won't lose them
out- instead will lose ourselves in them.
Nor have we need of a copy book. All
we have to do is to remember what
we can confess them and be sincerely
sorry for them.

OUR RELATIONS WITH GER.
MANY.
CEditorial Corresnondenoe. !

Editorial Correspondence
Ominous words Of impending trou-
bic between this country and Ger.
many have of late been heard in the
congress of the United States. and in
other places supposed to possess au-
thoritative knowledge. For our part
we believe the utterances of Senator
Lodge and others voicing sentiments
similar to the Massachusetts senator
have no foundation in fact, and were
uttered for the specific purpose of in
fuencing public sentiment in favor of
the purchase Of large quantities of ar
NOR plate at enormously excessive
prices.
A mere glance at the present con-
dition of nations convinces even the
cursory observer that Germany is the
least likely Of all foreign powers to in
terfere with America.
1t seems, however, to be the popular
thing to suppose that the Kaiser, the
so-called war lord, is anxious for a
fight with the United States. This is
particularly so since Admiral Dewey
issued his famous def to the German
Admiral with the unpronouncahIe
name, in Manila bay. But. unfortu-
nately for those who are DESTROYS of
keeping this government on a war
footing for other reasons, there is not
the slightest danger of any trouble be-
tween the United States and Germany
1t is pity that the demagogue should
find forum in the senate Of the United
States.
No matter what the opinion of the
Kaiser be that Americans have formed
as result of his after-dinner speeches
no one has ever yet challenged his
courage, his honesty or his sympathy
with his people. He has never lost
sight Of the welfare of Germans in
America, and for that we honor him.
He knows, none better, that their gen
eral betterment rebounds to German
prestige at home. He has lost no on
portunity TO so conduct himself that
the great German-American body
could exist in America without loss of
caste because Of any action of his. We
pass by the incident of Manila bav as
SO much rot, quite on a par with the
utterances Of Senator Lodge and his
armor plate confreres.

CATHOLIC COLLEGE GRADUATES.

Regarding the lack of interest in
Catholic affairs shown by so many of
our graduates from Catholic colleges,
once they have left those institutions
and entered on the struggle for exist
ence, the Western Waterman says:
Let the Bishop of the diocese call
meeting of laymen, or let the rector of
parish announce meeting for pur-
poses of great and wide interest, how
many of our college graduates will at
tend? If on some occasion of local or
general Importance an address is to be
delivered, how difficult it is to get
Catholic man of college education to do
it. With our young women it is more
satisfactory; they are better educated
than our boys, and they give better re-
suits at home and in the church. They
are more refined and they are more
loyal to truth, beauty and goodness.
very seldom indeed does Catholic girl
disgrace her religion, but when she
does she is damned and is a stranger
to peace for evermore. Yet, for all that
our Catholic young women, including
graduates of our converts, are rather |
backward in performing duties which |
are right at their door and under their |
eyes; duties which the state of the |
Church and of society in America i'm
poses on them; duties of the home;
duties of religion and charity; duties
20 the Door; duties to the sanctuary
and the altar; and duties towards the
of the faith among those
who have not the truth, or who are in
danger of losing it. Opportunities of
doing good are numerous and present
with us. and it is Gods will that we
should seize them now and carry for
ward the great work which He has as
signed us to do

tween the Australian proposals and the
Canadian constitution. Mr.. Chamber
lain pointed out that as foreign coun-
tries were concerned in the new con-
stftution it was important that meas
ures which might involve the imperial
government in the most serious re-
sponsibilities should be interpreted by
a tribunal in which all the parties had
full confidence.
The government could not consent to
clause "A, relating to the Appeal Court,
| because it meant the abolition of the
imperial veto, would be prejudicial to
the unity of the empire and might lead
to a conflict of authority between the
proposed new High court and the
Privy Council. There was by no means,
! he pointed out, unanimity on the sub
| ject in Australia. The government
would consequently ask the House of
Commons TO so far amend the bill as
to retain the power OF /le Court Of APP
peal.
The government, he added, proposed
to introduce in the House of Lords
forthwith a scheme to appoint for sew
en- years representative each of Can
ada, South Africa, Australia and India,
to be members OF the Privy Council
and act as Lords of Appeal. Life peer
ages would be conferred on them. so
that they would continue to sit in the
House of Lords, although they would
not act as judges after their term of
service had expired. They would be
paid the same as Lords of Appeal and
at the cost of the imperial government.
The new constitution, although in i'm
portant respects unlike any now ex-
listing, more closely resembled the con-
stitution of the United States than any
other. State rights throughout were
jealousy preserved. In Australia,
however, the Senate would be elected
by the same electorate as the Legisla- +
ture, and the members of both bodies
would receive the same salary.
These are very fine words from Mr.
but we imagine they will
fool no one in Australia. Much time,
it is true, as well as intelligent thought,
has been given to the making of con-
stitution for Australian federation, but
at one stroke of the pen Joseph Cham
oerlain nuIlifies what Australians deem
he most essential feature of the pro-
visions of the constitution, that which

which wiley Joseph would, of course,

REVIVING THE DEVOTION TO
THE HOLY SPIRIT.

Among the many great things done
by this present Pope is the restoration
of the Devotion to the Holy Ghost to
its rightful place in the devotional life
OF Catholics. Three years ago he sent
out one of his greatest encyclicals on
the Holy Spirit, and at that time pre-
scribed yearly noVena for the season
of Pentecost. and admonished all who
were entrusted with the direction of
souls that st was their duty to i'm
part to the people with more zeal and
1ulness the teachings relative to the
Holy Ghost, for" said the Holy Father.
perhaps even today there are Chris
tlans who would answer as of old the
Ephesians answered fhe Apostle Paul:
we nave not even heard if there be
a Holy Spirit !"
Cardinal Manning once wrote: ST
have long thought that the secret, but
real cause of the so-called Reforma-
ton was that the office of the Holy
Ghost had been so much obscured in
popular belief" A daily recognition of
and devotion to the Holy Spirit cult
Yates spirit of self-reliance as well
as an individual initiative to do and
dare for the best interests of the
church. The Catholic World Magazine
for June prints luminous article by
Rev. Joseph McSorley, a Paulist
Father, which deserves a most careful
reading. The Paulists are missionaries
of the Holy Spirit.
The most essential point to be en-
phasized in this study is that, while
the devotion to the Holy Spirit provides
the motive power. the external stand
ard of doctrinal life now so clearly
marked out by the infallible teaching
