Menace to Humanity"

sand people crowded into the Light
Guard armory last evening in attend
ance at the first public meeting in con-
nection with the fourth annual con-
gress of the Federation OF Catholic
Societies Of America. Men of national
prominence in the clergy and laity
listened to the addresses of the even
ing.
An grafton which stirred the soul
and mind of the audience was deliv-
cred by Condo B. Patten, LII. d., OF
New York city, who reviewed in his
address on christian education" the
problem Of separate schools as con-
Quoted by Roman Catholics and how
they are viewed by friends and foes.
He discussed the question in a clear,
vigorous manner, and expressed some
sentiments which aroused enthusiastic
applause from his audience. He said
in part:
"a leading reason for an exposition
OF the subject of Christian education
upon an occasion like this arises from
the need of clarifying the public mind
from a radical misconception which
confounds Christian education, or with
that other incorrect notion, that Chris
tian education implies some special
limitation upon the universally Of hui
man knowledge or the free exercise Of
human faculties.
In Universal Sense.
Let it be said at the outset, with
out reservation or restriction, that
when Catholics speak of Christian ed
ucation we mean education in it's most
universal sense, education in all it's
possibilities. l claim that it is only
Christian education for which we
alone stand and have always stood,
that sounds this note Of universally,
and that the moment you exclude
Christianity from the scope Of educa-
ton that moment do you cabin, con-
fine and restrict it, secularize and Sec
tarianize it. Out patriotism has been
and is even yet impugned because we
have not hailed the secularized school
40 IuS DuiNhih VI <AhiCiiSd iiDCi Iito.
So far has this hostility to our atti-
tude gone that we have been Jumped
as the opponents of education, the
friends of ignorance and the enemies
of the republic. This unfriendly crit
icism has arisen from two sad con-
fusions in the non-Catholic mind, the
first confusion, it's own misconception
of the true nature Of education, and
the second confusion, its ignorance Of
what we meant and mean by educa-
ton.
What Catholics Have Done.
ut is we who have been the real
and practical patriots in this matter
of education for it is we alone who
have made our protest concrete and at
a sacrifice which cannot be estimated
merely in dollars, though here it runs
into the hundreds Of millions, have out
Of our private means, while still pay
ing the public tax, erected and main
tanned schools for the people, wherein
that great defect of the state school
system, viz, religious and moral train.
ing, has been supplied constantly and
Systematically. A people with intelli.
gence and yet without morality is a
menace to humanity"

STATE LABOR CONDITIONS.
Fewer Unemployed This Year Than In 1908
Up TO the Time OF Building Strike.


ALBANY, Sept. l8.-The bulletin Of the
State Department OF Labor for the second
quarter OF 1904 shows that OF the 100000
wage earners in the various industries OF
the State, 1877 per 1000 were reported idle at
the end OF June as compared with 2S1 and
las in June, 1908 and 1902 respectively. At
the close OF July in 1902, 1905 and 1904 the
respective ratios were 1866, 17s and l4s. The
principal cause OF this Improvement was the
phenomenal activity in building construc-
ton work in the leading cities, particu-
larly Rochester, Syracuse, Buffalo and New
York CITY. These conditions prevailed
pre- ious to the beginning OF the present
controversies between the employers and
employees associations in New York city.
Under the operation Of the child labor laws
enacted in 1908 the number Of children per-
mitted to work in factories continues to
decrease. In Manhattan borough the
number OF factory employment certificates
issued to children by tho Department OF
Health in April, May and June OF this year
was 6l2, as against e2 last year, decline
OF more than one-third.
The annual inspection OF tenement shops
and workrooms in New York city was made
In April and May, when alnoo st the entire
stat OF inspectors was assigned to work in
the metropolis They visited 1850 licensed
workrooms and 2,7SS tenement shops.
Que result Of these inspections was the re-
vocation Of 3sl licenses OF places that failed
to measure up to the requirements OF the
law. At the end Of July there were q, 7I2
licensed work places in New York city
and Long Island and 1900 in the remainder
Of the State.
There are 40 trades unions, with a men,
bership OF 203, 1872 in New York county.

hay and coal at his home by the carload
The carload of new oats was safely de-
livered in his cellar. the car Of hay was
crosswise In front Of the house on the side
walk and slightly twisted up while the
iron car containing 100 600 pounds Of fine
coal was standing in the middle of Shelf
field street.
Something went wrong with the brakes
OF freight train which was being drilled
into the Nesbit street yard Of the railroad
company. The three cars were flung into
siding and got beyond control II there
was brakeman on any Of the cars, he
must have jumped and it is said that he
did. The cars crashed through the bum
per post and the street fence and bumped
over sidewalks. curbs and pavement. The
car OF oats struck the front of Shapes
house just alongside OF the steps and took
out two windows and the brick pier be-
tween them, leaving its trucks behind to
tangle up under the hay car and throw it
sideways.
The oat car took everything out of the
parlor except one picture which was left
hanging on the wall. Chairs, sofa. table,
piano and bric-a-brac were pulverized and
wrapped up In the curtains and carpet
as the car dived through the floor and
completely buried itself in the cellar.
The Shape family found that the stair
way, hall and front steps were secure.
Mr.. Shape TO und on opening the door from
the hallway to his parlor that he could
step upon the roof Of the car, which was
level with the former floor Of the room.
The railroad people followed UP the rum
Always closely and began to remove the
cars from the street. The coal car was
hauled back into the yard without splitting
any of its contents and the hay was un-
loaded from the badly wrenched car before
it was taken away. Then the street was
cleared.
1t would have been hard to convince
anybody looking north or south along the
street that 34-foot freight car was hid
den in one OF the houses. Nothing was
done yesterday toward removing the car
OF oats, 1t being deemed best to consult
the building inspectors and make prepare

before breaking out the load and removing
