Thomas D. Flynn Of New Orleans was
the first speaker at the afternoon meet

The result of amateur work on child
protection has been a continual stabbing
about without hitting the heart of the
various problems that arise. Our uni
versities have established chairs for the
study of the drama, but child protection
is a field that is new. 1t is a field for
our universities to consider as worthy OF
adoption among their studies. What 1
urge is a more general recognition OF
this branch of social economics. The
American Humane Association can de-
vote itself to no worthier enterprise than
the establishment Of q school from which
may be turned out intelligent probation

by Judge Li-fang Ahlo of Peking.

ton of our women the paper declared.
ut is partly responsible for the slavery
of our women. A large percentage of
the crippled children in China today are
offspring of women with bound feet.
But the people are coming to realize the
harmful effects of the custom. Mrs.
Archibald Little. an Engiishwoman,
started the reform. Now the, press of
China has taken up the matter. and the
better class of people are falling into line,
There is demand now for wives with

There were several responses to the ad-

MONK
DEAD At bRO0KLAND
Brother Marianus McLarren,
for Years Gate Opener at
Mount St. SepuIcher.

Brother MarianuS McLarren, O. +. NJ
the porter who for years was stationed
at the front door of the Franciscan
Monastery in Brookland, and whom every
visitor to Mount st. SepuIcher met first
and remembered longest, is dead in the
eighty-eighth year of his age. He passed
away quietly Monday night at 7:45
o'clock. Death was due to natural causes
brought on by old age
Few people who have visited the mon
astery at Brookland will forget Brother
Marianus. There was small chance to
escape him. The door was in his charge,
and at the door he was found. early and
late, whenever a visitor begged admit
lance. His eyes twinkled and his smile
struggled for expression through a snow
white beard that reached to his waist
and commanded instant veneration for it's
wearer, as the monk welcomed the visi-
tors with few words spoken with pro-
nounced Scottish accent, before starting
them on their round of inspection, or to
the particular altar they wished to visit.
Brother Marianus was born in GLASGOW,
Scotland, in 1913. Little is known of his
early life He may have been born into
the Catholic Church, although that point
is not clear in the minds of some of his
most intimate friends.
EnteredsOrder an Old Man.
1t is not known when he came to Amer
lea. About the only fact known at all
widely, even in Franciscan circles, is that
he applied for entrance to that order
when he already was an old man. He
joined the order in New York city a
little more than ten years ago-or after
he had passed his SEVENTEEN milestone
He had then been a resident of New
York for many years. At one time he
had owned prosperous business house
there.
The Franciscan order was founded for
the training of youth for missionary
work. Every novice after q short pre-
liminary training Is supposed to spend
some years in the missionary field. gen.
orally in Palestine. Brother Marianus'
advanced age when he entered the order
precluded such an assignment and he
was sent to the Brookland institution
his first and last mission. Because of
his business training. Brother Marianus
played a large part in the business ad-
ministration of the monastery.
The funeral will be held at the mon
astery Friday morning at 10 o'clock.
