made for religious instruction. We
do not want it. We have seen what
has happened in countries where the
clergy are hirelings of the state. Our
principle is. let the pastor take care
of the flock and live by the flock. g.
Let our children be examined by the
state or municipal board, and if our
schools furnish the secular education
required. then let the state pay for it.
Mind you, we do not ask anybody
else's money. All we want is our own
for the education of our children. Is
this not fair? Suppose that in soma
city. like New York or Chicago this
system could be initiated so that non
Catholics might see that it is not in
imical to the existence of the public
school system. it would not be long
until we would have our rights.
The United States can receive ar,
object-lesson from Emperor Villa m
of Germany. There the government
has passed a law affirming emphatical-
ly the necessity of dogmatic religious
instruction in the schools supported
by the state. Every teacher is re-
quired to have a thorough knowledge
of his religion the tenets of which he
is to teach in the school attended by
the children of that denomination
The public taxes are divided between
Catholics. Jews and Protestants, in
proportion to the number Of pupils
attending their schools.
Let the federation insist on a tria!

it not be said of federation that tn.
school question which is now attract
ing the attention of Catholics and non-
Catholics alike, was lost by the in
activity of the clergy and laity, by
our apathy towards great organi-

In spite of the varied out-of-door work
the men who were drilled in water work
seem to have had slightly the better of 1t,
The statistics Of development show that
at the beginning OF training the outdoor
class averaged feet inches in height;
weighed 131 pounds and had a lung ca
pacity of 246 cubic inches. The men who
could not swim before coming to college
were, it seems, heavier and shorter and
of less lung capacity than those who
could.
At the end of the seven weeks the out
door men had gained an average of half
an inch, had put on an average of eight
pounds In weight and increased their lung
capacity an average of thirteen inches.
As compared with the men who were
taking their exercise in the swimming
pool the gain in height was a trihe more,
the gain in weight the same, but the
swimmers gained nearly twice as much as
the track men in lung capacity. One Of
the instructors advances the theory that
the large gain in lung capacity for the
swimmers is due to the fact that the
water offers a greater resistance to the
use of the lungs than the air does, and he
argues that the case seems to be made
out in favor of exercise in the water.
The marked increase in the health of
the college under the new regime has
been the most pleasing feature to DR.. Ed
ward Hitchcock, "Old Doc" as the old
graduates love to call him, who Is the
originator of the scheme. There have been
fewer cases of sickness this year than
ever before in the history of the college,
and the instructors believe that the emp
tiness of the hospital and the number of
swimmers at the pool is something more
than coincidence.

looks as though the umpire had been
handed another peck of trouble to add to

That the big man Is the stuff and that

have to give way to his more agile brother
who could sprint faster and get down the
