From the Country Life in America:

From the Country Life in America:
There is,a critical moment in polo
when player has made full arm
back stroke and another player at
temps to ride in and push the ball along,
The second players head is apt then
to be in jeopardy. But as game it
Is dramatic without being dangerous.
There are plenty of falls in it, one time
and another, but they are harmless. A
pony never gets hurt. Then the rid
ing off is interesting, one player forcing
another away from the line of play. I
have seen a game at Meadow Brook
where one side was four goals to the
lead, and only few minutes of play
left. The spectators left, feeling sure
it was all up. But the other side
knocked out five goals and one. It
takes pony less than thirty seconds
to get from one end Of the field to the
other, 80 you will see q, game where
all the play is near one goal, completely
changed within half minute; OF all
games, It gives a chance for the quick
est reverses and most 7 surprising
changes. go $50. - :. q

FEAST OF 81. JOSEPH.
Elaborate Ceremony on Patron Saints
Anniversary.


The feast Of st. Joseph was celebrated
with unusual ceremony at st. Joseph's
Church yesterday. This is the first time
the anniversary has fallen on Sunday in
eighteen years. and as a consequence the
celebration by the members Of the church
which bears the saints name was elaborate
In the extreme.
Solemn requiem mass was conducted at
1880 in the morning by Rev. Ignatius
Fealey, the new assistant pastor Of the
church. assisted by Rev. E F. Holloran of
Louisville. KY, and Rev. Edward f. Coyle
of Taunton, Mass. Mr.. Vincent Hughes was
master Of ceremonies. Rev. Charles War
rem Currier, pastor Of st. Mary's church
preached the sermon. The edifice was
decorated m an elaborate manner, the
main altar and the shrine Of st. Joseph be-
ing decked with lilies and other cut flow
ers, and the sanctuary made brilliant with
the light of innumerable candles.
The church was crowded long before the
ceremonies began. The mass was sung by
q social choir under the direction Of Miss
Daisey Joyce.
Persons who made the novena to st.
Joseph. which closed Saturday, received
holy communion at o'clock yesterday
morning. In his sermon Father Currier re-
ferred to the life of St. Joseph as that of
a man who became great in spite of his OBJ
scurity The preacher said. He Is great,
who, convinced of his duty. overcomes all
obstacles to do that duty.
The visiting clergy were entertained at
luncheon at the rectory after the services
in the church.

Moral Training and Public Schools.

To tie Editor of The Evening Star:
The ordinance of 1851, relative to the
northwestern territory and passed by Con-
gress July 10, 1857, just before the, adop-
ton of our present Constitution. says:
1T is hereby ordained and declared, by
the authority aforesaid, that the following
articles shall be considered as articles OF
compact between the original states and the
people and states in the said territory, and
forever remain unalterable unless by COM
mon consent, to wit:
Art g. Religion, morality and knowledge
being necessary to good government and
the happiness of mankind. schools and the
means of education shall forever be en-
couraged."
Religion" from the Latin ere" "again."
and ''ligo," ito bind" means ito again
bind" and conveys the idea of separation
from and consequent union with superior
being, which among civilized people Is Coo.
Morality" from the Latin mos" means
settled custom" Broadly this depends
upon popular sentiment. But religious NOR
atty depends for its standard upon belief
in Almighty God.
Said Washington: 80.
Let us with caution indulge the suppo-
sition that morality can be maintained
without religion"
Our civilization Is based upon religious
morality and the former would not survive
one moment the total loss of the latter.
With or without open aVOWment, ClVlllZeU
man not only believes in God, but considers
such belief as essential to civilization. For
the protection of the state religious moral
ity must be sustained. The state has the
right and power to prevent that which 1t
has the right and power to punish. The
state prevents the spread Of ignorance and
disease by anticipatory measures. The state
Furnishes crime. Should not the state pre-
vent crime?
That religious morality prevents crime
must be conceded, or all instruction therein
may be abandoned. But it is urged that this
is the work of the church and family.
Granted. but If they are not sufficient,
must other means be not used? Whether or
not church members fail in their duty and
whether parents fail in theirs is matter
for them to answer for. If religious NOR
atty should be taught to children by those
most interested and they will not do 1t the
state should do it. Admitting the advisa-
bility of such instruction. the state may
not avoid its duty by the assertion that
some one else fails in his.
The state can and does do what no church
may do. The state collects all the children
in school by laws which may not Be dis
obeyed. The churches can only persuade,
whether the effort be more or less. Many
parents neglect the morals of their chill
iren. But the state, interested In the well
fare of these children, collecting them by
It's authority In it's schools. recognizing the
of religious morality, is In the best
position and has and should exercise the
power of training the children In religious
