In the course of study Ill n paro, chial school as much time is given to aChristian doctrine as lfe any other branch of instruction except reading and arithmetic. Here Is the scheme Of religious instruction running through the years:
 Commandments, Precepts, Sacra- ments.
 Explanation of principal feasts-
 Prayers and approved pious ptac- t1ces.
 Deharbe's Catechism.
 Explanation of the mass, vestments, color, names etc.
 Lives of saints.
 Bible history.
 History of the Church.
 Nearly all the teachers i'll these schools are members of the various religious teaching orders. In the schools represented in the educational exhibit at the Chicago fair in 1895, they made up 97 per cent. of the whole number, and Father Sheedy says that doubtless the same percen- tsage holds in the parochial schools of the United States today" The steady growth in the number of tie schools is indicated by their increase from a.s35 in 1902 to 3.97S in 1903.
 The point is made by Father Sheedy and generally by Catholic priests, that Roman Catholics by voluntary contributions for their own indepen- dent schools .are saving to non-Cath- oiic taxpayers a vast sum, estimated at from $20,000.0O0 to $25,000.000 an ntlnlly.s or thes cost of educating the children now In the parochial schools.

GOODNESS OF CALIFORNIA.
Produced by Strong Current from
 tha Antarctic Ocean

Produced by Strong Current from
 the Antarctic Ocean
 A great scientific mystery of the Pa cific ocean has just been solved, at least theoretically. The experimental yerification will come later, or, per haps the new theory will be accepted or rejected without other test than that of thorough discussion of the facts on which it rests.
 The mystery in question relates to the origin of the immense current of cool water which sweeps southward along our Pacific coast from Alaska to Southern California, the antithesis in relative temperature and i'll direction to the gulf stream of the Atlantic coast. but mightier- than the latter in volume, and modifying the land eli mates all along its course to greater extent, possibly. than any other known ocean current In short, this current is one of the greatest agents employed by nature in producing the famous climate of the Pacific coast. The magnificent forests of Washing ton and Oregon and the rich orchards and vineyards of California owe their existence to the influence of this vast
 
 by the shore, tempering with it's cool ness the arid heats of summer, rolling ill vast mantles of fog which dlstri- bute moisture Ike the gentlest .aiD, and mitigating the severity of thc winter months with its equalizing in- fiuence because while the average tempe. ature of the water is uuch lie- low that of the adjoining land in the s,,,.,yr fc onnoidnrNhJu 1hnv.i in winter.
 Nor is this all Turning westward, after skirting the shores of Californ- in, the great current spreads out over the center of the Pacific, touching the Hawaiian Islands, where again it's genial influence is beneficently felt, with the result that those islands en- joy more uniformly agreeable and salubrious climate than any other land lying in similar latitude.
 Now, in general way, and without much critical examination, geogra- phers and oceanographers have hith- erto assumed that this Pacific Current was an offshot of. or a complement to- the northward flowing Gulf Stream of Japan, the Kuro Siwo. This Rev. S. D. Bishop, widely known for his researches on similar subjects, dis putes; and he sets forth the very iD- teresting and surprising proposition that the great current begins near the south pole, from which 1t follows that all the favored climes mentioned above owe their felicitous climes to the transmitted coolness of the illim- itable ice fields which border the Ant arctic continent, that coolness having been brought ten thousand miles un- der the sea in order to reach their shores.

THE GIRI. FROM KAY,s.,

The most satisfying piece of work in ',rhe Girl from Kay's,'' which will be seen at Polls on Monday evening, apart from that contributed by sam Bernard, the star of the Charles Froh- man and George Edwardes company, Is supplied by that Jolly comedienne, Hattie Williams. In the comedy Miss Williams is seen as Winnie Harbor- ough. The latter is a young milliner who loves to fiirt and who might q. times be considered a little imprudent. Winnie, however. is discreet and is a. all times honest to herself. She catch> es the fancy of q wealthy man about town and he proceeds to make violent love to her. In spirit Of deviltry she accepts an invitation from him to take a trip to the seaside and brings with her crowd of her friends from the millinery establishment. From this point on she leads her caddish admirer q merry dance. Miss Williams has a number of songs, the best of which is called Customers from Kay's.'' In 1t she describes the people whot patron ize the millinery shop and her bits oi
 imitation include that of q school girl, q woman from Chicago, all actress, and Il .Johnuy" who comes in to have Il look at the girls. This song never fails to win half dozen encores. An other one of Miss Williams's song hits is Little Love Bird,'' which has just been introduced i'll London with much success. Another of her songs is called Bonnet Shop" and she has song with Bernard called Mrs Hoggen-

A SORE QUESTION

For the politics of the future says 8 New York writer. 1t seems to be obvious that ''burning question" in this country at some time in the future is going to concern religion and education Shall the public schools remain secularized or shall religion be introduced into them as fundamental and essential part of their instruction?
 In a chapter on sThe Catholic Paro- chial Schools of the United States, z contributed to the report of the Fed eral Bureau of Education for last year, the Rev. Morgan M Sheedy, q Roman Catholic priest of Pennsylva- ian, brings together many expressions of opinion by prominent Protestant clergymen and teachers which agree with the Roman Catholic theory and principle that education apart from religion is a snare and a delusion that secular and religious education can never be parted without moral results dangerous to the individual and the community.
 Meantime, however, the seculariZa- ton of education has become more complete in this country. Colleges formerly under clerical influence are now under the direction of laymen, with comparatively few exceptions, and of instruction bearing upon re- ligion there is. little or none at all Tn them. The attendance of students on the religious exercises i'll the chapel, made optional, has become relatively small. The number of students look ing forward to the Christian minis try has declined to very few, not merely proportionally, but also ac- tually
 The Roman Catholic Church, how ever, has never insisted more stren- uously and more uncompromisingl on it's demand for religious education 1 as the prime essential. 1t is expend- 1 ing great sums of money in maintain- ling it's parochial schools, increasing the amount steadily from year to year. As the Rev. Mr. Sheedy expresses the }sentiment, 1t is that stlre Catholic children be reared without the know ledge of their faith" or to rely on home education or the Sunday school s'to supply the Christian teaching and formation of character which she de sires in her children
 The Third Plenary Council at Balti- more in 1884 gave g great impetus to the parochial school movement among the Roman Catholics, and the number Of these schools has increased greatly since that year. Tn 1903 about a mil lion pupils were i'll them and ill the higher schools, all at the expense of voluntary contributions by the faith full. Father Sheedy estimates that these pupils now comprise almost one-half of the Catholic childrcl cf elementary school age in the toui.- try" T. is table of the number Of pupils in thefparochial schools of the dioceses named, in 1903, is signifi-
