The emigration returns for 1907 are,
unfortunately, more reliable. In that
year, S8,562 people left Ireland to
settle down in other countries. This
is an increase of 3.s44 over the pre-
vious year The figures are disheart-
ening, and taken in conjunction with
the fact that there is also an exodus
from country districts to the cities and
towns in Ireland, one is left to imagine
how deserted the countryside will be-
come if the tendency is not checked.
Poverty is not the only cause. The
sheer dullnsss Of country life is often
the deciding factor. The present graz
ing system is largely responsible also,
and If the recent cattle driving asita-
tion results in legislation that will
split up the grass lands, it would do
a great deal to discourage emigration
and the rush to town life.

contemporary. With the same bold
front he challenges the stubborn title
holders of some of the churches; with
the same spirit he fought and con-
demned the infidel school system, often
standing alone against several adver-
sarles in public debate. With the same
intrepid ingenuity he established the
parochial system. His arguments on
the school question have never been
refuted. His victory seems only sus-
pended. The accent of his tongue mul-
tiplied his enemies. for it betrayed his
origin but the weight of it's argument
raralyzed their intentions and caused
them to lose the name of action"
His career is inspiring from the time
he spaded and weeded the garden of
st. Mary's for an education to the day
wherein he laid the cornerstone of
Americas most magnificent cathedral.
