These Bugs Are Not Harmful.

DR.. ]. H. Hopkins Of Hopkins has
received from the United States de-
partment of agriculture letter which
may set at rest the fears Of many a
cotton planter. 1t says that the bugs
found in considerable quantities IN
the cotton fields of this section are
larvae of the common ladybug and
are beneficial, as they feed on plant
lice and will thus reduce the plague
of aphids. The letter to DR.. Hopkins,
who sent some specimens Of the bugs
to Washington, is from w. D. Hunter,
of the bureau of entomology.

Matter Taken Up With Commissioners

The trustees OF tne County scHUUIs
some time ago entered into an or
ganization for the purpose of further
ing county educational matters. They
have recently had an estimate of the
cost of survey of the several school
districts with the fdea of getting up
road map of the county. 1t Is estlmat-
ed that the map and survey will cost
over $1,000, and as this is too large an
amount for the schools to handle alone
the matter has been taken up with
the county commissioners. 1t is hoped
some arrangement will be made.

OPENING OF THE SCHOOL 8

In the course of the next two weeks
the hundreds of parochial and nuh,ic
schools throughout the country will
have opened their doors to the host Of
children who are ready for the rudi-
ments of knowledge. Another years
work which is so full of possibilities
of good and evil will have begun, The
present is the time. therefore, that
serious thought should be given to the
matter of education. Where are YOU
going to send Your boys and girls to
school? Are YOU sure that they are
going to be under instructors and with
companions who will train them prop
erly? If YOU are not sure of this re-
member that no training is to be pre-
ferred to bad training.
Sometimes we hear 1t said by those
having children to educate that this
or that school is good enough, or that
they themselves have had less educa-
tional advantages and they have done
well. But then it must be remember
cd that education is freer now than it

was a quarter of century ago and
hence. more general. And, therefore,
the child of today will have to COM
pete With more highly educated men
than the child of twenty five years
ago. Hence, to give your children an
education equal to what you yourself
mad is not. nevertheless, giving them
advantages equal to yours in the COM
petition in the race for livelihood.
The aim should not be to do as we'll
for your children as was done for you.
1t should be to do for them the best
YOU possibly can. Every parent is
anxious to leave a legacy to his or
her family. But it should be remem-
bered that no legacy is as valuable
as good Catholic education. Wealth
is measurable quantity, but good
habits and worthy aspirations are not.
In choosing a school, then, too
much consideration should not be Civ
Ell to the element of cost. The differ
ence in the results will often more
than justify the extra expense. 1t
may mean temporary sacrifice to
choose the parochial school in prefer
ence to the public school, but the NOR
al training which the child will re-
ceve in addition to the intellectual
training, which alone it will get in
the public school, will prove to be
worth more in the end than the extra
effort. This should be considered we'll
work,

BEARING FRUIT.

The recent unfavorable criticism of
the Y. NJ. c. A. by the Catholic press
on account of its sectaranism has set
Catholic people thinking in way that
is destined to bring about desirable re-
suits. An analysis of the Y. Nj. c. A.
will show that it's success is due main
~ to the fact that it furnishes young
men with place where they can
spend their leisure hours together and
indulge in any of a variety Of diver
sions. Now since this organization is
professedly scctarian and discrimin-
ates against Catholics it is not a prop
err society for a Catholic young mai, to
affiliate himself with. The question
then arises Why cannot Catholic
young men have similar organizat ton
OF their own" That the forming of
such an organization is the practical
solution of this problem seems now to
be the general sentiment of those who
have given the matter serious thought.
In BROOKLYN plans are under way to
establish a Catholic Young Mems AS
ISOLATION on comprehensive basis.
The object is to erect Il centrally To-
Gated building with gymnasium, a
swimming pool, library and reading
rooms, game rooms etc, for the use
of the young men who are interesting
themselves in the project. 1t is hoped
later on to introduce lecture courses
and offer special courses of study for
those desiring to do work of that kind.
This is the first step in the realiza-
ton of plan that could he carried
out with profit throughout the coun-
try. A Catholic Young Mems Associa-
ton would be one of the best safe
guards against those influences that go
to destroy the Faith. 1t would give
Catholic young men an opportunity to
The Irish standard., 1911-09-02

meet each other and to exchange ideas
as we'll as the advantages of access to
library in which the books and peri
odicals would be chosen with special
care. 1t would offer young men a
pleasant place in which to spend their
leisure hours and would keep them
away from pool rooms and other plac-
cs less tit for them to frequent.
Now that the movement to estab-
lish a national C. Y. NJ. A. has gotten
under way it should receive generous
encoura cement. Its realization will
fill long felt want. 1t will not only
keep young men away from bad influ-
ences but will enable those who are
ambitious to attain to better positions
in the various fields of endeavor.

In his address at the opening meet
ing OF the convention of the American
Federation of Catholic Societies at
Columbus. Ohio, last week, President
Feeney said:
"The increase of population in
France has been comparatively smarl,
for reasons that may not be cited
here. Religious education Is being
minilnized by the present authorities
in Italy, Spain and Portugal. Increa sc
in crime in those countries may be
looked for in the same proportion. On
the other hand, in Ireland. where re-
ligion is taught in the schools, crime
has decreased to such all extent that
for lack of prisoners, the iails arc be-
ing closed or used for other public
purposes"
The world realizes that Erin is still
the land Of the Faith and for an ex-
ample of the practical value Of reli-
gion to society there is no country in
the world that takes precedence over
It,

FINDING ONES WORK.,

Too often people get into the habit
of looking off in the distance fol
something to do. They can't see any
thing promising in the tasks that arc
at :1and. Only distant prospects as
sumo all attractive hue. They make
the mistake of using telescope where
they should use Il microscope. Every.
one has his greatest opportunities
right at hand. If we would look
square at the things before us instead
or looking over them we could fine
plenty to occupy our time. A man
gains distinction not so much by wha,
he does as by how he does whatever
he undertakes to do. 1t was Emerson
who said IL man can write better
book, preach a better sermon or make
a better mouse trap than his neighbor
though he live in the heart of a will
derness the world will make a beaten
path to his door, This is a genius
way of emphasizing the value of do
ing little things well.
1t is interesting to note how many
writer's have made themselves famous
not by an ordinary treatment of an
extraordinary subject but by an ex-
traordinary treatment of an ordinary
subject. Some of the best novels of
Dickens and Thackeray lack anything
bordering on an involved plot and yet
the interest Of the reader is never
allowed to wane because the authors
saw and related what everyone feels
but is pleasantly surprised to see in
print. The narration by another of
the little experiences that we hardly
think of relating, mildly pleases us
with the thought Of how closely akin
human nature is the world over.
There is no need of looking to dis
tant places or distant times for on
portunities to make good The time
to act is the present. The place to
act is here. The thing to do is what
ever Is at hand. Progress is NOT made
by leaps and bounds. 1t is generally
slow and continuous The man who
makes it his object to do each task
allotted to him better than his neigh
Dor wont have any difficulty in MAX
ing progress.
The way to meet opportunities is to
get in their road. And the way to get
In their road is to get ones little daily
tasks out of the way by doing them

BRITISH LABOR TROUBLES.

The acute distress brought about
in the large cities of England, and
particularly Liverpool, by the recent
prolonged strike serves to emphasize
the great and growing importance of
labor organizations. Time was when
employers dictated wage schedules to
their employees, but that was before
the day of labor unions. Since work
ing men united, and they were driven
to unite for their own defense, labor
problems have assumed Importance
undreamed of before.
The recent strike in England was
the result of circumstances over which
capitalists and not labor leaders had
control. The cost Of living has in
creased by leaps and bounds in recent
years, but notably in England wages
have remained stationary. This means,
OF course, that the distress of the lab
orlng class has grown more acute
each year until it has become unbear-
able.
1t appears that the majority of the
railway directors are Tories in poli-
tics and unwilling not only to grant
the demands of the labor unions, but
loath to give them any recognition
Whatever. At the present time the
railway directors, considering them
selves ship-shape for test of strength
with the unions, did not hesitate to
preclpltate the fight. The general tie
up in traffic and the unnecessary
amount of distress and suffering that
| followed will doubtless result in a
more general sentiment of hostility
to capitalists once the conditions are
known and the responsibility is To-
Gated. The threatening trouble, though
inevitable at no very distant date.
was no doubt hurried to a climax by
the defeat of the Tories in Parliament.
The Tory capitalists, who are I'M
willing to recognize labor organ1za-
tons, are taking course which can.
not have any other result than to make
labor unions popular. The laboring
man has rights which must be re-
spected. So long as he received wage
tnat bore reasonable proportion to
the cost of living there was nothing
said. But when the greed of capital
lists reduces the laboring man to the
position Of slave, naturally crisis
must result. So long as corporation
directors oppose labor unions when
they are demanding only what is with
III their rights they are Strengthening
the position of the unions, instead of
their own position. Labor organiza-
lions are the outcome of disregard on
the part Of employers of the rights of
working men. They are necessary
part of our present civilization and
cannot be long disregarded
