MUST 60 no SCHOOL.


The State law compelling the att
tendance of all children of school
age should be brought to the atten-
ton of every family by the board of
education of every district in the
county. The Telegram publishes
below the salient features of the
law:
Section 32-Every person having
charge of a child between the ages
of seven and fourteen shall cause
the child to attend public school
continuously failure being punish
able by two dollars fine for the frst
offense, five dollars for subsequent
offences. An offence, it is un cr-
stood, shall consist of a failure Of
such person to compel the attend-
ance of the child in his care for one
fourth of the number of days on
which school shall be held; in other
words the child must be in school
three-fourths of the time unless i'll.
: or prevented by other reasonable eN-
cuse. All fines so collected shal lie
paid into the hands of the. clerk Of
the board of education who shall
turn them oversto the city collector
for credit to the school fund of the
district.
The act provides also how the
truant officer shall perform his dut-
les and specifics in what way he is to
carry out the provisions of the new
law. In this connection it may be
well to quote the paragraph referr-
ing to offences:
An offcnse, as understood by This
act. shall consist of the failure of
such person to send 10 school any
such child or children for one-fourth
the number of days on which regular
sessions of the public schools are held
in any school district. so that such
child or children. shall not be in al
tendance for at lease three-fourths
of said days in any four conseau-
tive weeks of the school year of such
district, unless the attendance OF
such child or children be prevented
bv sickness or other reasonable eN-
cuse: provided, that if such child or
children shall have graduated from
a suh-district school, or if such child
or children have been otherwise in
structed for n like period of time in
the branches of learning required bv
law to be taught in public schools,
or have already acquired such bran
ches, or if. in the opinion of the
superintendent of said school Dis
trict. the mental or physical co"ai-
ton of such child or children is such
as to render such attendance mex
pedient or impracticable, such pen-
atty should not be incurred.

A PENITENTEs OUTRAGE.

4 =
The following press dispatch made
its appearance on the 22d instant:
Mailed to the cross. just as the Sa-
Vior died centuries ago a fanatical
member of the Penitentes is reported
to have died yesterday at Torres. Las
Animas county, Colo. The victim is
reported to have died in agony which
he willingly suffered, being wrought
up to delirium of religious fervor
The story comes from Mexicans who
had witnessed the tragic scene. In old
days, it is said. the actual crucifiXion
was not uncommon among Penitentes,
but was supposed to have been aban-
doned long ago, though the practice of
self-torture is still carried out among
the members of the order during Holy
week"
Concerning this incomprehensible
outrage as a result of religious frenzy,
the following, which appeared ia the
Ave Maria of last week is timely and
interesting:
The reiteration of calumnies against
the church in connection with the Pen
itentes of New Mexico induced the
Rev. Father HainauIt of the diocese of
Syracuse to investigate the history of
those strange fanatics. of whom trav-
elers, and especially sectarian preach
ers, tell such wondrous tales-the an
nual crucifixion of a Penitent on Good
Friday, etc. The following informa-
ton was furnished by the superior of
he Jesuit mission at Las Vegas, New
Mexico:
1t is unhappily true that there ex-
lists in our midst a class of fanatics
calling themselves Penitentes, and
practicing, especially during Holy
week. such acts as are described in the
clipping you have sent me, except the
hanging of one of them on cross and
leaving him 10 die. The church has
done all in her power to suppress
them. Archbishop Salpointe went even
so far as, TO eXcommunicate some of
their lodges. or moradas, but to no
purpose. They are stubborn. and
would sooner leave the church than the
brotherhood And no wonder, since
they are abetted in their resistance to
ecclesiastical authority by crafty pol
iticians; who need their votes on elec-
ton days. and so exert themselves to
keep them together by every possible
way But the Penitentes are no more
the people of New Mexico than the
lynchers of some southern states are
the people of Kentucky, Tennessee or
Texas. They form a despicabe minor
ity. a mere fraction of the popula ton.
The Penitentes are sometimes re-
ferred 10 by ignorant non-Catholic
writers as "a religious order of the
Roman Catholic church existing in
Mexico and elsewhere 1t will be seen
that the sect is Catholic i'm the sense
that Christian Scientists are scientific"

IN MARRIAGE ENGAGEMENTS.

1t is the correct thing
For young lady to think well about
what she is doing before engaging her
self in marriage.
For young man to ponder seriously
the same subject.
For Catholics to marry Catholics.
To ascertain in all cases where dis
pensation is required whether it can be
procured without any difficulty before
announcing an engagement.
To know that a dispensation is re-
dured for Catholics to marry-non-
Catholics; cousins within and including
the fourth degree; persons related by
marriage within the fourth degree;
persons connected by spiritual affinity
sponsors. god-children, etc.
To know that dispensations are not
mere matters of form. and that they
will not be given unless there are grave
reasons for doing so.
To know that an Offering for some
charitable object must be given when
obtaining dispensation.
To give timely notice of an engage
ment to the parish priest so that the
banns may be published three success
sive Sundays.
To consult parents. or other persons
of sound judgment before entering into
an engagement of marriage.
To remember that the head and heart
should agree in the choice of a COM
panion for life.
For rich young man to give his
fiancee a diamond solitaire engagement
ring.
For one who is poor to select an in
expensive ring, in keeping with his
means and save his money for. the
more necessary needs of housekeeping.
To insist on quiet wedding if the
parents cannot afford the expense of
an Ella borate one.
For an engaged couple TO avoid public
displays of affection, which are both
vulgar and indiscreet-The Correct
Things for Catholics.

PRIESTS SENSE OF DUTY.

Cited for Benefit of Anti-Clericals.)
At a time when organized attacks are
made in so many quarters upon what is
called clericaiism, says the London
Catholic Times two incidents which
illustrate clerical ideas of duty are
worthy of record.
IN one case the Rev. Father Denimal
parish priest Of Neuvilly. in the depart
mCnt of the Nord, France. was suffer
ing from a severe attack of influenza.
He had passed through the most acute
stage of the illness. but the doctor en-
joined the strictest care assuring him
that his life would be endangered by
relapse. Just after he had received
this caution he got notice that a dying
woman was anxious to be visited by a
priest. No other priest was at hand,
and i'm order 10 meet her wish Father
Deuimal faced the risk to his health.
1u his retudn home from her house he
WAS seized with fever and he died the
same evening.

in urgent need of betterment. Cellec-
lively, thousands of our own seldom see
a priest md are in danger of losing
the faith.
To our mind there is a substitute
and an excellent substitute. 1t is good
Catholic paper. Furthermore we feel
safe in the assertion that where regu-
larly read it is a preservative of the
faith under the most adverse conditions.
There is little danger of loss of faith
in the homes into which it goes and is
read faithfully, even if these homes be
absolutely isolated from church and
priestly visitation. No one knows this
better than the priest of many and
greatly scattered missions.
But its influence in the populous par
ish of the metropolis is in nowise diff
ferent. Here it lightens the labors of
pastors and keeps the people in closer
touch with their many duties. The late
holy father, of most happy memory,
called it a perpetual mission in every
parish. Hence further proof that it is
EN- excellent aid TO the priest. In the
light of such facts is it not strange
that the Catholic paper receives such
scant endorsement and such little en-
enlargement from the altar?-Church
