Moore, "ua,la Rookh."

English novelists are said to be par

Moore tells Of one occasion when Sir
Arthur Conan Doyle, J. NJ. Barrie, and
himself We're playing in match to-

far more about cricket than books and
was an Indifferent hand at conversa
ton, yet wholly willing to be affable.
In the pavilion he ran against Conan
Doyle for his first essay, and it should
be said that the team was nominally
composed Of authors-that was al
much as the sportsman knew.
He addressed the man who invented

Mgr. Satolli even suggests the plac-
ing Of Catholic schools, to a certain
extent, under the supervision Of the
state. in the following words:
For the standing and growth Of
Catholic schools, it seems that care
should be taken that the teachers prove
themselves qualified, not only by pre-
vious examination before the diocesan
board and by certificate or diploma
received from it. but also by having a
teachers diploma from the scnool board
of the state, awarded after successful
examination.
This is urged. first, so as not to
appear, regardless, without reason, of
what public authority requires for
teaching. Secondly. better opinion of
Catholic schools will be created. Third
ly, greater assurance will be given to
parents that in Catholic schools there
is no deficiency to render them Infer
Tor to public schools: that, on the con-
trary, everything is done to make the
Catholic schools equal to public schools,
or even superior. Fourthly, and lastly,

the way for the state to see, along
with the recognized and tested fitness
of the teachers, that the laws are OBJ.

FROM ScRUBBER TO PRIMA DONNA.
An expression by a Springfield
(Mass.) man serves to show how fiexi-
BILE is our American society.
This man refuses to pay $3.50 to
hear Nine. Olive Fremstad sing be-
cause, he says, the singer scrubbed the
floors of his kitchen few years ago.
This is the story:
II lived in Minneapolis from 1854 to
1889 and came to Springfield in 1889.
In 1886 In Minneapolis we had our
piano tuned by a man named Frem-
stad, who said be had a daughter whom
he wished brought up in the American
way and wanted US to take her in and
teach her how to be a domestic.
well, we did this and paid the girl
$3.50 a week Her name was Anna
Olive Fremstad, who, l now see. is to
sing in our city. In the earlier days 1
could hear her sing without paying q
cent. 1t costs me $3.50 now. 1 won't
pay it."
Forsooth!
Because a few years ago Anna Olive
Fremstad worked in his kitchen at
$3.50 per and warbled freely and with
out price this man asks the old. old,
pharasaic question:
Can any good come out OF Naza-
reth?'
A prophet is not without honor save
in his own country, and a prima donna
is not without recognition save to the
man whose floors she once scrubbed.
But this is not good doctrine in the
republic (which spells Opportunity"
The Springfield man is not good
American. Does he think our society
is, like the laws Of the Modes and Per
SLAMS, unchangeable2 On the contrary
1t is very mutable.
Garfield put it we'll when he said In
effect that our society is not like the
society Of Europe, which resembles the
strata Of the earth, each layer above
holding the one beneath it down, but
that our society is rather like the
waves of the sea, where the Lowest
drop may rise and glisten on the top
most wave.
When she scrubbed the kitchen
floors Anna Olive Fremstad was one
Of the lowest drops in the bed Of so
ciety's big ocean. But she rosel AND
now she glistens on the topmost wave
as Nine Fremstad, whom to hear on,
must pay $3.50.
That is the true American way.
You can't hold the drop down.
That Springfield man is a plebeial
and a standpatter and-a clam.

you to keep up the good work until
you shall have driven out lewd women
which infested the Patch, south of the
Wabash tracks, the colored women-as
they have made their boasts today aft

that the authorities could not make
the black women leave. Make them all
