Final arrangements are being
completed for the laying Of the
cornerstone Of the Cardinal Glib
bons Memorial Hall at the Catho-
lie University, Washington, On
October II. His Eminence will
bless the cornerstone and place it
in position. The occasion will be
made memorable by the presence
Of the trustees Of the University
and many members Of the HER
archy.
The Memorial Hall is being
built by the friends of Cardinal
Gibbons throughout the United
States in commemoration of the
golden jubilee of his priesthood
as well as of the twenty fifth ami.
versary of his Cardinalate. 1t is
being erected on the grounds OF
the Catholic University Of which
he has been Chancellor from the
beginning. When completed the
Memorial Hall will consist OF
an administration building with
two towers, an east and a west
wing. It is being built in sections
The west wing is now under ROOT
and its interior is being finished
so that it will be ready for the
accommodation of fifty lay stu
dents at the opening of the Uni
versity on October 3. The cere
mony of laying the cornerstone
will undoubtedly draw large ano
distinguished audience to Wash
ington on October II. During tn,
following week the official celebra
ton of the Cardinals jubilee will
take place in Baltimore.

CATHOLIC HOME AND CATH
OLIC SCHOOL.

SdIuOllc parents VINO InlHk
they can hand their children over
to the Catholic school and have
them brought up little saints,
without regard to what teaching
or example the home itself may
furnish, should not be disappoint-
ed if their offspring turns out
badly, says the Sacred Heart Re
view. They should not blame the
Catholic school for the children s
failure. IL the home does not CO.
operate with the Catholic school,
the latter is badly handicapped.
The home is the place where the
first and most lasting lessons are
learned. The home influence is
the influence that is strongest, in
the long run; and no matter how
excellent the school may be, no
matter how it endeavors to train
up the child in the way he should
go, if the influence of the home is
bad, the chances are that the child
will follow the home training.
When we read Of young men
who have attended Catholic
schools and colleges, and who
later have entered upon wild or
dishonest courses, the first i'm
pulse is to think that the school
and college training has been to
blame; but if we examine the case
more closely the probability is we
shall find that the home influence
nullifed and rendered vain and
useless the. lessons taught in the
school.
Every child attends three
schools the school of the home,
the school Of the street, and the
institution that is technically a
school. But the lessons given in
the first two are just as important
as the lessons taught in the latter.
The parent, therefore, should see
to it, so far as possible, that the
street and the home do not destroy
the training of the self-sacrifcing
teachers, be they sisters, broth
ers or priests, who are trying con-
scientiously, day after day, to
mould the characters as well as to
instruct the minds Of the children
committed to their care.
Again and again we wish to re-
peat that the parents are the first
teachers, and that they can not
place upon the Catholic school the
responsibility for their children 3
training that God has primarily
placed upon themselves. By send
ing their children to a Catholic
school they are doing part-a
good part, it is true, but never
theless only part-of their duty.
they do not perform their whole
duty unless they themselves are
careful by word and example to
make of their homes schools of
Christian thought and conduct
homes where Christian faith is the
foundation, Christian hope the in
spiration, and Christian charity
the comfort and consolation of the
everyday life. Such homes as
these where sobriety and cheerful
ness reign, where there is no I'M
kind and uncharitable act or
word, and where not the love Of
money or Of pleasure or Of social
distinction is the ideal, but the
love of God and the desire to do
His will, cost what it may-such
homes as these are the very best
auxiliaries to the Catholic school,
and it is children reared in such
homes as these who are true in
later years to their Catholic train
ing.

MANY APPLICANTS
 FOR BIC POSITION
Dave at Present Is Acting Secretary for Southern
 Commercial Congress

Washington. May S.--(Special) )-When the board of governors of the Southern Commercial congress takes up the cleo tion of successor to Edwin l.. Quarles as secretary, it will have numerous ap- plicants for the s30O0 from whom to pick. Senator Fletcher of Florida, president Of the congress. said today, that none of the applicants had been even tenta- lively chosen, but that he thought there would be no difficulty in getting a good man to take the place of MT. Quarles, who resigned to become publicity agent of Baltimore.
 The secretarys duties are now being discharged by employees in the office of Managing Director c. Grosvenor Dave
 ''The work in congress has not been interrupted by the change" Senator Fletcher said. MT Dave, who has had charge of all the detailed plans of or ganization and maintenance of tke con- gress, will probably return from the south to advise with us about new secretary. Mir Dave will continue not only to
 carry on his own work of managing di- | rector, in which place he is executive officer for the president and board of governors, but he and Mrs. Beverly Buchanon will continue to do the pub licity work of the congress as they have
 done almost since the incipiency of the | congress.
 1 MT. Dave is unusually active at pres
 ent. He is planning big southern cele-
 bration in New Orleans in 1913 to exhibit the trade of the south. New Year, 1912 we expect to have an agricultural ex- | hibition in Memphis. We shall have some sort of exposition of the commerce, | industries and agriculture in the south west that will probably be In Oklahoma Then in 1915 we shall have an exposition somewhere in the eastern south-prob- ably Richmond-to show off the south
 and celebrate the centennial of the close
 of hostilities with England
 MT. Dave has charge of the work ing plans of the various celebrations. He Is at present in New Orleans preparing for the exposition there In 1913-a sort | of Panama canal jubilee. that will be as well as an exhibit of the south's com | merce and industries. The report that MT Dave had collapsed during the At | lanta meeting and was now in poor 1 health is incorrect. He is in splendid health and has his usual energy and enthusiasm

The telephone is S5 years old this spring.
 The anniversary of this most valuable convenience or insurance. as the case may be, passed without ceremony or notice from the millions of people who use the instrument every day.
 There are a little more than 16,5OO teie- phones connected with the two com penies in service in Birming .am and the immediate suburbs, including Bessemer. Ten years ago there was but one com- pany, and but 15O0 telephones in operation in the same territory
 The growth of the service in Birming- ham is the history of the growth in the United States.
 In Alabama there are more than 30,000 telephone stations connected directly with Southern Bell Telephone exchanges Be- sides these there is perhaps half as many more connected with independent ex- changes. And outside of these there Is something like 5000 farmers telephones that are connected indirectly with the Bell company and perhaps a thousand more farmers telephones that have no connection with the larger company
 The development of the rural telephone an Alabama began about three years ago and is spreading rapidly. It is predicted that within a very few more years prac- tically every rural section of the state will have telephonic communication with the outside world, and it is believed that in ten years every farm home of any pre- tentions will include telephone as par of the necessary furniture.
 Telephone service is not as far ad vanced in Alabama as in many of tn, other states, especially in the north, bu the advancement in Alabama is yer, rapid.
 The telephone, .he rural free delivery and good roads are the prime developers of the agricultural sections of the United States. Progress, prosperity, education ref1nment and contentment follow these modern factors. One encourages the other and all are developing the country as no other combination could do.
 An authority on telephone history says;
 'Unheralded by celebrations and glid- ing by without noise or ceremony, the an- niversary of the birth of the telephone has just passed into history. For it was 8 years ago this spring that Alexander Graham Bell received from the United States government the patent that was destined to give tremendous boost to civilization.
