PLEA TO Mr.. CARNEGIE
President of Notre Dame Wants
Aid for Catholic Colleges.

Father Cayanaugh. president OF Notre
Dame University. at the dinner OF the
Notre Dame Club Of New York last night
In the Waldorf made plea that Andrew
Carnegie should endow Catholic schools
and colleges as well as undenomina tional
ones. He declared that the religious edu-
cational institutions were the only ones
that kept alive the religious spirit among
the people. and that 4 failure 20 give 70
them would defeat the purpose a. which
Mr.. Carnegie aimed.
Mr. Carnegie Is defeating his own
course ny failing 10 give TO Catholic ineti-
tutions," declared Father Cavanaugh
These institutions are the mainstay OF
the religious spirit. Sim1ls intellects and
athletic bodies never yet made a people
great.
THE Catholic Church is an absolute
necessity for America. II IS the one great
bulwark against socialism and divorce. The
Church realizes that the differences be-
tween rich and poor never can be de-
stroyed. and the rawlings OF long haired
men and short-haired women VIII he ir
vain.
1T realizes that religion 1,cnA can keep
men moral: that reason alone can never do
It. The Chu-ch's schools and colleges keep
alive this religious spirit, and Mr.. car

is worthy Of support"

REcITALS A FEATURE.

Preparations for out-Of-town recitals
are consuming the attention of Indian
apolis musicians and musical organiza-
lions that devote much of each season
to such engagements. While it is too
early for more than a general outline
of the part indianapolis musicians will
play in the musical life of other In
diana cities, many already have OBJ
tained numerous engagements and are
expecting an unusually active season.
Several Indianapolis musicians also
are preparing for recitals in cities out
side of Indiana.
The number of artists who are ex-
tending their Out-of-town concert work
Is increasing constantly in Indianapo-
lis, and the favor with which they are
received is indicated by the numerous
requests for return engagements and
the additional calls for services re-
celved each succeeding year. Organi-
cations in many distant parts OF the
state, the success Of local musicians
indicates, more and more have turned
toward Indianapolis when they had re-
citals in mind until that turning has
become an inclination.-Indiana
