If Francis Scott Key, composer of The Star Spangled Banner, could hear the national anthem as it is sung in the New York schools he would prob ably turn in his grave, not once, but many times. A recent practical test among 10000 school children brough to light the astonishing fact that only one out of every hundred had any real idea of the words. It is rather astonishing 10 know that a generation brought up as it were on "Bedelia" and kindred songs. which are picked up in a few minutes, should have had its musical and patriotic education so far neglected as to be unable to differentiate between the rockets red glare and robin s red breast" or between the star Span gled Banner" and the Still Spanking Banner" All this comes as a result of the order of the district superintendent that every child in his district, in grades from 5A to 3B. that is. aged from some thing like nine to fifteen, should write from memory three stanZas of the nat ional anthem without any special prep aration. The way that anthem was sls+4sl-<--~-i-~a--some awful. "Ore the land as We washed were so gallant ly screaming wrote one pupil, while another's ideas were recorded in the the following words under the heading of ''The star Spangel Paner:.'
 O say can you see
 By the donce early light
 For so proudly we hale
 By the sleming last gleming
 And the Robin red breast,
 Burst out of his nest,
 Gave through through the night,
 When our hage was still thear
 Ten thousand school children and among them only one hundred knew the national anthem! But then, per haps. the children are not the only ones.

ment in Parliament today that Lord Gro

ment, and ex-Premier Balfour who fol-
lowed him, spoke with deep emotion Of
Lord Cromer's uneXampled services to the
empire and voiced the nations regret at
his leaving his post during such a difficult
period. The foreign secretary declared IT

service OF the country could suffer.

volve no change in British policy with re-
gard to Egypt. This was explicitly stated

CATHOLIC BISHOPS ADJOURN
Hierarchy Takes Action on Number
of Matters Affecting schools OF
the Church.

WASHINGTON, April IA number Of
important matters Of interest to the Cath
olic world were disposed of at the con-
cluding session here tonight Of the Catho-
lie Hierarchy Of America. Cardinal Glib
bons presided and there were present Arch
bishops Farley of New York, Moeller Of
Cincinnati, Ireland Of St. Paul. Keene Of
Dubuque, Ia; GlennCn of St. Louis Blenk
Of New Orleans, Messner of Milwaukee,
Williams OF Boston and Ryan of Philadel-
phia.
One of the important matters considered
was that looking to a more accurate emu
meration by the United States census bu-
reau Of the Catholic population Of the
country. a committee consisting Of Arch
bishops Ireland, Keane, Messner and Glen
non was appointed to act in conjunction
with the census Office to secure more
accurate estimate Of the number Of Cath
olics. petition was received from repre-
sentatives of the conferences Of Catholic
schools and semnaries, the object Of which
was to bring about a unifcation Of college
curriculum so as to bring into closer as
ISOLATION parish and Catholic schools to
the Catholic university. A committee con-
sisting Of Archbishops Farley, Messner and
Blenk was appointed to meet a similar
committee from the various colleges ana
seminaries to discuss the question Of bring
ing about a closer union between them.
An urgent plea was made for a more lib
eral contribution on the part OF Catholics
towards the Peters pence" fund for the
Vatican,
The archbishops discussed the religious
rites and rituals Of various societies of the
country, and the committee having in
charge this question reported that the
ritual and so-called religious forms were
only nominal and did not create the mem
bers into a special religious cult
A donation was announced from Father
A. II. walburg Of Cincinnati OF $4,000 to-
wards the erection Of a chair Of Teutonics
in the Catholic university making the fund
for that purpose $4,000. Announcement was

pFAT INSPECTION FIGURES
cary Wilson Replies to Criticisms Of
Municipal Veterinarian Of Glasgow.
scoTCHNM MISTAKEN AS TO FACTS
Bureau Employs 1000 Inspectors In
stead of Only Forty and Number
of Animals slaughtered
IL Underestimated.

WASHINGTON, April lin an author
lied statement issued at the Department Of
Agriculture today, Secretary Wilson takes
issue with certain structures recently made
by A. NJ. Trotter, municipal veterinary in
spector Of Glasgow, Scotland, upon the sys-
tenn of meat inspection in the United States
In an official report Mr. Trotter is alleged
to have said that in 1905 the number Of
animals slaughtered in the United States
was II 1872 1856 an average of 74S2 for each
working day and that the number Of in
spectors was but forty, which made 1t
necessary for each inspector to examine
the carcasses Of not less than 9S animals
each day-"an utter impossibility." Secre-
tary Wilson said the inference was that
these figures represented the entire federal
inspection service OF the United States.
LAS a matter of fact" he added the re-
port of the bureau Of animal industry for
the fiscal year 1905 shows that 40,22l0l
animals We're inspected at slaughter in that
year. The force engaged in meat inspection
on July /, 1895, according to the records
OF the bureau, numbered 76S exclusive Of
2i3 misCroscopists."
The secretary declares that Mr.. Trotter's
figures were evidently garbled from the re
port Of the committee on conditions in Chi
cago.
Under the new meat inspection law, he
says, the force at Chicago has been con-
siderably increased, until It now numbers
276 Of whom seventy-one are trained veter-
inarans. In the country at large he adds,
the meat inspection force numbers 1000

HERALD REMAINS AT LAMONT
Latter Day saints vote 10 RebuIId
Printing once nt the old
Location.

LAMONT, Ia, April u-lSpeCial Tele-
gram.)-An excellent discourse by Elder
William r. Larue Of Independence. Mo,
followed the usual morning prayer meeting
ut the Latter Day Saints general con-
ference at this place. The afternoon ses-
sion Of the sixth business day Of the con-
ference opened at o'clock, with President
Joseph Smith presiding This was the
afternoon upon which the momentous ques-
tion OF the future location OF the Herald
office and the headquarters Of the church
was to be decided. the matter having been
made a special order for o'clock As
early as noon people could be seen going
to the church. and long before the hour for
opening every available space was occu-
pied. the vestibules, galleries and door
ways being crowded. scores going away
falling to gain entrance. This shows the
Seenness Of the interest in these problems
probably the greatest which has confronted
the reorganization for years.
A resolution was presented similar to the
one tabled yesterday in regard to secret
societies Several speeches were made in
which considerable feeling was manifest
Patriarch Joseph r. Lambert charged that
the influence OF the secret order has crcpt
into the church government and that the
vote upon important questions has been
swayed by that influence. President Smith
most vigorously and emphatically resented
the imputauon insofar as It might affect
any quorum to which he belongs. Debate
upon this topic was cut on by the approach
OF the hour for the special business Of the
afternoon.
An imposing committee Of citizens COM
posed of Lamont business men was pres
ent and was accorded the privileges OF
the floor The afternoons interesting de-
bate resulted in resolution TO rebuild the
Herald Office and book bindery at Lamont.
| which resolution was passed by n rising
unanimous vote The subscription and
pledge of the citizens committee Of almost
$4,000 was accepted by the church.
Elder T. w. Williams of Los Angeles,

FRENCH STRIKE NEARLY OVER

ing to Work ana cities Are
Orderly.

PARIS. April 11.-Everything indicates
that the strike OF the bakers is practically
over. The city tonight wears its usual
aspect. No soldiers are TO be seen. The
bakers held a second meeting tonight, but
there were fewer present than at the morn
ing meeting. This would seem to indicate
a general resumption OF work, which is
confirmed by a statement issued from the
prefecture Of police at II o'clock tonight
that only GOO defections had been recorded
in Paris and the district. This number is
considerable, as there are $500 bakeries In
Paris alone. Nevertheless, as a measure
OF precaution the bakeries Will be guarded
tonight for fear attempt may be made to
modest the workmen. The bakers Of Toulon
have decided to go on a general strike
tomorrow unless their demands are granted.
