THE CHURCH AND SCIENCE.

That bright intellect Dr. Walsh, contributes
timely paper to the American Catholic Quarterly
Review the subject of the Churchs attitude
toward scientific investigation teachings and meth
cd, He prompted, he tells us, to write for the
reason that, as the result of the Encychcal "Pas
cendi." one of the most prominent notes that has
been sounded by those outside of the Church is the
supposed opposition of the Church to science and
scientific methods and scientific Investigations"
ANY one. he says. who knows anything OF the
history of modern science is aware that there is alb
solutely no foundation for this prejudice Most of
the men who did the great original work in the
last century in medicine were Catholics. The same
is true of electricity. and men like Galvlnl Volta,
Ampere Coulomb and Ohm not only mem
bers of the Church. but also devout Catholics.
The modern method of scientific inquiry. known
as the apOsteriori lnductve or analytical meth
Cd DR.. Walsh points out is nearly always attrlb-
uted to Lord Bacon. who thereby said to have
ove11hrown the Aristotean. or deductive, or syn

experimental method existed from the earliest ages,

and was thriving in the thirteenth century in the
DAYS of Nerulams great namesake, Roger Bacon
a Catholic Monk. who declared (what the genus
Of Aristotle could not certainly have overlooked
that .'nothing can be known without experiment"
mill sine experientia scir potest (opus Majus).
Roger Bacon, says DR.. Walsh, laid down very
distinctly the principle that only by careful OBJ
eorro+ion and governmental demonstration could
my
nomena be obtained. He not only laid down the
nrinciple however, but in this quite contrast to
his later namesake, he followed the route himself
very wonderfully.
Friar Bacon says Dr. Walsh, starts out with the
nrinciple that there four grounds of human
ignorance: First. trust in adequate authority;
accent too unouestoningly what has been accepted
second that force of custom which leads men to
before their time; third the placing of confidence
in the opinion of the inexperienced and fourth the
hiding of ones own ignorance with the parade of
superficial knowledge.
These reasons, says the Reviewer, contain the
very essence of the experimental method, and

THE ROSARY IN IRELAND.

Catholics of Ireland are ardently devoted to
prayer on the Beads, says an exchange. 1t is the
daily custom in that country for its Catholic pop
ulation to recite the Rosary when members of the
family are gathered at evening prayer Devotion
to the Blessed Virgin amongst the children of st.
Patrick begins at early and ends with them
before retiring to the sumbers of the night The
Rev. Father Proctor, O. P, in recent issue of the
Rosary Guide says:
I'm prosperity and in adversely in the evening
of sadness and in the morning of gladness in their
joys and in their the Beads were their
talisman, the Rosary their anchor of hope which
kept them united to Jesus, the Incarnate Son, and
to Mary, the Spotless Mother. In the ages of per-
secution the Rosary their 'shibboleth the pass
word by which they were known to be of Christ
and of God. During the dark days the Rosary
kept the lamp of their faith ever burning in the
Irish heart and in the Irish home When the Mass
prescribed and the sacred rites were put under
ban, and price set upon the head of the
priest-the soggarth aroon so dear to Erin's chill
dren-the Rosary under the sweet Providence of
God and the influence of the Virgin Mother and
Queen, preserved that faith in the Incarnation and
in the mysteries of redemption which is the very
life of the Irish race"

His favor. We at least have series of co-ordi-
mated facts, the science party declare, which we
know to be true by experience. We go as far as we
may, and stop short only of the first principle.
The Catholic, the contrary, they say, starts
out with an assumption and makes his deduc-

wrong, all of his deductions count for nothing.
Yet this great pioneer of science, Friar Bacon,

When it comes to the question of the princi-

the medieval universities says DR.. Walsh. when
sympathetcally studied proved to have been quite
as sensible as the scientists of time. The great
thinkers of the medieval period had not onlv
reached the same conclusions as Lord Bacon had,

and the great medieval universities occupied
with problems in physical science not very

PROTESTANT ASCENDANCY
IN THE "BANK OF IRELAND"

Figures given by the New Ireland Review illus
trate the antlCathoic bigotry that seems to prevail
IN the management of the Bank of Ireland There
are fifteen directors of the bank Of these twelve
are Protestants, three only are Catholics: by law
three must be Catholics. In the head Office there
are twenty-one chief officials with salaries amount
ing to $4,000 pounds per annum. Of these twenty
are Protestants, who receive in annual salaries
about 1926 pounds; one is Catholic, with sal
airy of 375 pounds. In the sixty-seven country
branches there ffty-seven Protestants to ten
Catholic agents (managers). The Protestant
agents receive in salaries about % 75O pounds; the
Catholics about 1926 pounds. In the same country
branches there are ffty-fve Protestant to twelve
Catholic sub-agents Among the humber servants
of the bank themselves there is the same singular
disparity of numbers between Protestants and
Catholics.
Strange that such an institution should be
called the Bank "of Ireland'-a country three
fourths of the population of which are Catholics.
But the disestablished Protestant church in that
country calls itself the Church of Ireland" APP
parently those Protestants both of bank and church
regard themselves though small minority, as the
only element of the population worth taking into
account. That is sample of what is known
Protestant ascendancv in Ireland.
