ParochiaI Schools,


system is Of comparatively recent
date, its growth, considering the en-
ornOus difficulties that INSTRUCTED it's
progress, has been phenomenal. At
the present time there are over 1000
nlrochial schools. with an attendance
of more than 100000. Many Cath
olics. blinded by the glitter of the pub
lie schools, are still looking askance at
their parochial schools, but it is easy
to demonstrate that our schools excel
the public schools. not alone i'll general
and average daily attendance but also
in efficiency OF teachers and profici-
ency of pupils. In 1900 the attendance
at the public schools throughout the
country was 13,OOO,OOO or about one
fifth of the population. At that rate
the 100000 Catholics of the United
States have a school population of
2.OOO.OOG, onc-half of which attends
the parochial, the other half presllm-
ably the public schools. The children
of 0,OOOOOO Catholics are. therefore,
taken care of outside the public
schools, so that the public school at
tendance is Is per cent. While that of
our schools is over 20 per cent OF the
:wo-fourtts that do not attend paro-
clial schools onc-fOurth only will have
to be provided for The other fourth
will probably 30 to the public schools
for some time to come, by reason,
chiefly, of the large scattered Cath
Ollie population. The parochial schools
sulpaSs the public schools also in av.
| eraGe daily attendance. as the follow
ing figures show: Public schools,
enrolment 13,OO0.OOO: average daily at
tendance 9,50O.O0O. Parochial schools,
enrolment 1.OO0.O0O: average daily at
tendance 100000. 1t must be explain
ed in fairness to the public schools
that il large part of their school popu-
latiOn is in the rural districts, where
regular attendance is very difficult, es-
pccially in winter. The Catholic
schools are principally in the cities,
where Il more regular attendance is
possible. But even in the cities our
schools make Il better showing. In
the fifteen largest cities in the coun-
try which are selected for purposes of
comparison. because their aggregate
population apprONimates the total
Catholic population, the average daily
attendance is S6. in the parochial
schools 96 per cent. The superiority
| of the parOchial schools over the
public schools is becoming more ap-
parent every day. The latter have
unlimited means ut their disposal.
overloaded that even their best teach
ers fall short of the best results. The
branches of study in the parochial
schools are wisely restricted to the
essential fundamentals of education.
With all the frills and hounces. and
superfiuous "Ologies and isms' elm
mated. ample time is left for the in
dispensible drilling and reviewing
| which alone give success to the teach
er and strength to the pupil. Many
cases have already been cited where
the pupils of our schools. to whom the
examination papers of the public
| schools were given. made Il higher av-
| e1Hge than the pupils of the same
grade in the public schools. AS to
the teaching body of the public
schools. it is naturally unstable and
weak. The ladies teach to fill in the
time between their young maiden

Anent MoZart's Twelfth Mass the
late holy and learned Bishop Amherst,
of Northampton, England, wrote: ut
is most dstasteful to me to see the
Holy Sacrament of the Mass shattered,
as it were, into fragments, and made
a succession of pegs on which to hang
IA series of musical performances.
Number Twelve is not, it is true, so
from it's choral character, but still the
Holy Sacrifice has to wait for it, and
the ministers to sit bored on benches,
while the ears of the audience. heaven
save the mark! are ticklcd, and their
concert-loving propensities gratifed.

/ hood and marriage, and the young
men to earn IL little money to enable
them to study for something higher"
In either case teaching is IL makeshift,
Il means toward another end, and it is
uncomfortable how Il body of teachers,
with their minds turned toward other
spheres in life, can give the public
school system the sOlidity and perman-
ency so necessary to success. Here
again the Catholic schools have the
advantage. There is no Interior OBJ
Ject attached to the work of the de-
voted band of Religious who have
charge of the purochial schools. Ami
mated by the highest motives. they
cannot fail to attain the best results,
and the more critically the parochial
schools are compared With the public
schools the more strikingly will their
superiority become apparent The
amount so far expended in the parO-
chial school properties alone approx
mates 10 million dollars, and the
amount saved to the states of the
Union every year exceeds % millions.
We certainly have every reason to
be proud of the wonderful progress
made by our parochial schools. and
those Catholics that have been afraid
OF them. and have been impressed by
the rigid form. the autocratic air, the
reproving eye and the pointing finger
OF the public school marin. had better
institute some mucl-neetled reforms in
their views on education.

A Vgi-.G..I Slander.

The Albany Democrat thinks the
Review editor must have had some bag
gage held up by the Newport boat
company. We thought Fred knew bet
ter than that. Where in blazes would
we get an excess of baggage? Didn't
have nothin' but short bit an collar,
and Bro. Soule OF Toledo held us up
and took the collar. He didn't sus-
picion that we had the bit.-Jefferson
Review.
We deny the allegations set forth in
the aboye. 1t is true that Bro Hum
phrey did wear a collar while in Toledo
and he told us in confidence that he
had worn the same since fly time last
year, and requested the loan of fresh
one as he was billed to attend limbur-
ger cheese carnival the following week
and disliked to have the finger of scorn
pointed in his direction. AS we do not
possess such an adornment, we could
not accommodate Bro. Humphrey, so he
leit the collar in question at Tu Lungs
laundry and had it renovated at our
expense. Bro. Humphrey may have
the collar by remitting clearance fees
to the Health Officer of Lincoln county
aid paying laundry charges.
