MARIST STUDENTS
EXPECTED TO RETURN
Pursuing Studies in Washington Until
Order is Reinstated in France

The eighteen students OF the Marist
order who recently arrived at the
MaTist College OF the Catholic Univer-
sity from Rome are not refugees" as
they have been spoken OF. as no action
has as yet been taken detrimental to
the Marist order in that country. The
Marist order has made application 10
the French government for approval.
and these students, not wishing TO have
their studies interrupted pending the
outcome Of the application, came 20 this
country.
In July. 1902. a law was passed in
France that no religious orders should
exist without the approval or tie state,
and giving each order three months in
which TO apply for approval. At the
passage OF this bill the Catholic orders
were divided into three parts-those
that already had the approval Of the
state. those that departed Immediately,
and those that applied TO the state for
approval. OF the first class the original
orders had founded over 5000 branch
societies. and these. according TO the
premier. needed no approval. In this.
however. the council OF state disagreed.
saying that the branch societies would
have TO make the application In the
meantime the three months given for
application had elapsed. the branches
stood unapproved. and there was no
chance OF their becoming so. The stu
dents OF these 5000 branches that were
closed have either remained in France
in a private capacity or else gone 10
