LAYNIEN'S LEAGUE.
To Open School of Social Studies in
 Fall of This Year.

Two years ago the retreat move ment for Catholic Iaymen was found- ed in New York City. It had for it's main object the establishment among Catholic men of the practise of mak- ing a retreat once a year.
 The organizers Of the movement, twenty in number, made the opening retreat at Fordham University, in Ju- ly 1909, and then and there the apos- tOlate was begun. Since that time, says the Sacred Heart Review week end retreats have been attended by several hundred men.
 And now, out of this, has come the Laymen's League for Retreats and Social Studies (which held its first public meeting recently in New York Every seat in Carnegie Hall was oc- cupied at this meeting. It was pre- sided over by Archbishop Farley, and a number of the most prominent clergymen and laymen in New York were on the platform with him. The objects of the League, as explained by MT. Thomas Woodlock, are two fold.
 First of all, is the spreading among Catholic men,. of the Apostolate of Retreats and secondly the establish where Catholic men may be trained in thorough knowledge of the great social problems that engage the minds of thinking men to-day and from which these men may go out to edu- cate the many to a sound view of these things.
 we propose to create,' said Mir. Woodlock, "a band of Catholic 1ec- turers thoroughly trained and equip ped with full knowledge of the things that men group vaguely under the term of Socialism,
 Next fall is the date set by the Lay mems League for the opening of the School of Social Studies. It's main department will consist of classes in Social Questions designed for those Catholic men who feel that they can undertake to qualify themselves for missionary work among the people, But the school as proposed will at- tempt other things. It will include in its program a popular course of lectures upon modern Christian apolo- getics. To quote MT. Woodlock again:
 "We shall take up those matters which furnish the layman with most of his so-ca1led difficulties of to-day and thoroughly discuss and explain them. We shall have a course on those theories of the family and the state which generally fall under the head of liberalism so-called, and course of modern science wherein evo- lution and other matters so grossly misapprehended by the man in the street at the present time will be thoroughly treated Further we shall offer from time to time lectures on matters of current controversy as they may arise.

The big problem Of fertilizers is one which

to add to his soil nitrogen or whatever other

have had very different Ideas to how corn
should be planted and cultivated but at the
