FAMOUS HARPs OF ERIN
THE "DALLWAY HARP" THE
BRIAN BORN HARP IN TRIM
ITY COLLEGE,.

The Irish people are known to have
had at least two kinds of harps. The
smaller were used by churchmen, the
larger by harpers. Bishops and Alb
bots and holy men of Ireland" says
Giraldus, who wrote in the thirteenth
century, were in the habit of carry
ing their harps with them in their
peregrinations, and found pious de-
light in playing upon them. In conse-
quence of this, says writer in the
New York Evening Post, st. Kevin's
harp was held in great reverence by
the natives, and is to this day con-
sidered valuable relic, possessed of
great virtue"
Some of the old harps are supposed
to have a double row of strings, like
one example extant of the two-stringed
harp, and that is the 'Dallnay harp
OF which replica may be seen in the
national museum, Dublin. The orig
inal instrument bears the date of 1921,
and exists only i'm a fragmentary state.

commended the Catholic societies and
approved of their federation into a
Diocesan organization. He expressed
the hope that before long an annual
Katholikentag, or general meeting of
Catholic societies, would be held in
the Diocese. Father Macmillan, o. S.
B., of Strasburg, Emmons County, out
lined plan for such an organization
and his suggestions were embodied in
a constitution for Diocesan Verband
Each society discussed the plan and
decided to join the proposed organiza-
ton. At two o'clock in the afternoon
the deliberations were resumed and
the articles of the constitution were
read and approved. It was decided to
hold the next Katholikentag at Man
dan in June, 1912. At the close of
the meeting a torch-light procession
was held in honor of the visitors, after
which they participated in a banquet,
prepared by the ladies of the parish, at

served in Trinity College, Dublin. So
long as Ireland survives this will ever
be shrine to the people, the legends
which embalm it being with scarce an
exception of the dearest to every Irish
heart.
This venerable instrument is really
believed to have belonged to King
Brian Boru, who was supreme mon
arch of the Emerald Isle from 1908
to 1914 His harp and jewels were
taken by his son, Donogh, who after
some dispute became King of Mum
ster. In his old age he made pill
grimage to Rome, and presented his
fathers crown and regalia and this
harp to Pope Alexander II. For near
Boru remained among the treasures
of the Vatican. In 1921 it was pre-
scented by Leo x to Henry VIII of
England as a token of recognition of
his defence of the Seven Sacraments.
Twenty years later the monarch gave
it to a new Irish peer he had just
made, the Earl of Clanricarde-
Uuick de Burgh. In the latter part
of the seventeenth century the harp
finally came into the possession of
O'Brien, Earl of Thomond, direct
descendant of Donogh, King of Mum
ster, and therefore of Brian Boru.
It eventually became the property in
the latter part of the eighteenth CEN
fury of Ralph Onsley of Limerick, a
noted antiquary, who bequeathed it
in 1881 to the Rt. Hon. William Bur
ton Conyngham, who in his turn in
1896 left it to the famous old insti-
tuition of learning where it now re-
poses.

w. H. Hatton Declares Many I'm
prOvementS Can Be Made.
BOARD TO TAKE up MATTER
Aim to Find Plan That viii Make
Boys and Girls of Wisconsin Take
Up Education as a Keen
Relish.

Misunderstanding to statement
made by former Senator w. H. Hat
ton, the state board of public affairs
probably will take up educational mat
tiers in Wisconsin. Hatton is a mem
Der of the board 1T is plain that the
question of educational needs in the
state should be looked into" said Mr..
Hatton. There are many places where
improvement can be made. l have
been giving the subject some attention
and have gathered statistics that indi-
cate that there is something wrong
somewhere.
at is shown that in 386 cities of the
United States out of every LOCO pu-
pills only 323 go up to the eighth
grade and only fifty-six go into high
schools. Wisconsin is an average
state in every way, and therefore
these statistics would govern here,
speaking generally.
There are no statistics available
relating to the state, but the general
average of the 1000 cities can be
taken.
Further investigation shows-that in
Newton, Mass, SO per cent of pupils
get into the eighth grade, while in
Springfield, Mass, only II per cent
get into this grade. In Danville, ILL.,,
"a per cent. get into the eighth grade,
while in Chicago only five per cent
make that grade.
This shows that something can be
done. How do the cities with such
high percentages get the pupils to re-
main up to the higher grades? That
is for us to discover.
"But it is evident there is some way
to make pupils wish to stay in school.
We ought to try and find out what
that way is. There is something
wrong where children do not wish to
go to school. 1t is my opinion that if
you furnish the proper inducements in
the way of giving children the things
that interest them they will not only
go to school, but will want to stay
there the year round.
Il brought this subject to the at
tenticn Of the members of the board
at our last meeting and it is probable
that we will take it up after other
things are under way. In no other
way can we benefit the state so much
as in finding plan, If such there be,
that will make the boys and girls of
the state take up education with
keen relish"
