CHICAGO. Ill, Dec. +.-"The Ro-
man Catholics in the United States
are annually paying into the United
States treasury $25,00.OO0 beyond
their rightful taxes, and are educat-
ing 900 900 children without charg-
ing the country one cent for 1t. Yet
we have never been given one word
of praise for this tremendous work,
The country Is not to blame for this,
we ourselves are at fault because we
have never told the United States
what we have been doing
These words formed a part of an
earnest plea for national aid to the
Catholic schools that the Very Rev.
William O'Brien Pardow. s. j., New
York City, made to an audience Of
5000 Catholics that filled the Audi
torium last evening. The subject of
the lecture was Saint de La Sale
and Modern Education" and its object
the raising Of funds for the use Of the
teaching orders Of the Catholic
church
II was given under the auspices OF
the st. de La Sale Auxiliary, and
Brother Adjutor Of the Christian
Fathers who had the management of
the affair, reported at the close Of the
evening that $4,000 had been the net
amount realized This sum includ-
ed the $4,000 offered by w. Bourke
Cochran OF New York. conditionally
upon like amount being raised by
the sale OF seats. An additional
81 900 was also given by John P. Hop
kIns. with a similar proviso.
I'VE Catholics haven't been proud
enough Of our own educational his
tory" said Father Pardow. Jeanne
Baptise. seur de La Sale the foun
der of the order under whose auspices
speak tonight, gave to the world
the rules which allowed the world to
know how to train Its teachers tc
teach We Catholics do not object tc
the worlds public schools. They are
all right as far as they go. but We
cannot send our children to schools
that take no account OF the human
soul"
The governor then told how the
governor OF the little island Of ia
maica had once made him blush fol
his country by inferring that the Unit
ed States government helped to sup
port the Catholic schools. just as thu
English government did in Jamaica
'"The reason why the American gov
, ernment has done nothing for ou
schools" continued Father Pardow
''is because we have never asked 1t u
do anything We Catholics should al
pull together and make the countr.
realize our power. Why. I suppos

Don't say 1t is impossible for tn
