NOT IN AFRICA!

There are sixty thousand negroes ia
the Borough of Manhattan, New York
City How many of them are Cath
olics?" There are twenty-five thou
sand negroes in Brooklyn. How
many of them are Catholics?" This
number does not take in the Bronx
with it's four thousand one hundred
and sixteen souls, or the Borough of
Queens with it's three thousand one
hundred and ninety-eight souls, or
Richmond with it's one thousand one
hundred and fifty-two souls, making a
total of ninety-one thousand seven
hundred and two souls. One little
question which throws light on the
subject. How many Catholics are
there on Manhattan Island?" The
answer is a reproach to every Cath
olic-"There are two thousand five
hundred colored Catholics on Man
haitian Island"
Now take a glance at the Southern
States. To every devout Catholic it
is like a sword thrust to hear of the
conditions there; for millions of the
colored race are in a spiritually starv-
ing condition, and over four million
of them are unbaptized Few
churches, poor schools, few priests or
teachers to make Roadway for this
neglected race and all through the
want of funds to meet the big de-
mand. 1t is very true that conditions
in some parts of the Southern States
are in a fourishing way and that a
generous harvest of souls rewards the
efforts of missionaries and teachers
and that DarOchial schools are spring.

A QUESTION OF SCHOOL.

Now that our children have been
going to school several weeks and we
all appreciate what blessing we and
they are enjoying, perhaps it would
not be amiss to quote letter which
was received from Texas by the Off
Gals of The Catholic Church Exten-
sion Society, pleading for a similar
blessing for the children of two little
missions. The priest in charge
writes:
'Now that the school year is near
it's beginning, two Catholic schools
will open at Harlingen and at Lyford;
but our poverty frightens me and
fear that l shall not have the neces-
sary funds with which to buy the
school articles.
How much the school is needed in
these two places can be understood
when the Presbyterians give free
school to Mexican children and when
the parents of those poor children do
hardly mind whether they will lose
their Faith or not. Many of those
the school that will be less expensive
to them.
mo need to mention the public
school, because they do not like it,
either for the teacher, or because
Spanish is not taught there; also, be-
cause they feel humilitated by the
Americans who have their own school
and do not admit Mexicans in them.
will there be a generous soul or
parish that will think of us down
here? I pray God that you may find
such a one"
1t is a peculiar fact that the Mexican
people are usually barred, if not open
ly, at least by general demeanor from
attending Mass and other services in

the churches and schools that are
termed American. The Mexicans very
easily stay away from church en-
tirely,j as well as the schools, unless
they have their own to go to. 1t is
a circumstance that we cannot change
by force, nor would it be advisable to
make any drastic attempt to do so.
By keeping them together and by
working on the coming generation, by
means of parochial schools, we will
be able, in time, to change this condi-
ton very much, for the betterment
of the Mexicans, themselves.
The officials of The Catholic Church
Extension Society submit this oppor-
tunity to the generosity of the Cath
Ollie readers of this publication, and if
you desire to do something special for
the poor missionary to assist him with
his school, the society, located at 1888
Mccormick Bldg, Chicago, ILL.,, will
be deeply grateful to receive such
donations and send them at once to
the Reverend Father.

NATIVE FRANclscANs IN INDIA.

To the Editor of "The Catholic Bulle-
tin"
Rev. Father:
May beg you to kindly allow me
to write this letter on behalf of our
Telugu boys? Our Franciscan Broth
erhood at Bellary, community of ma
tive Indian religious, was started
some years ago to supply the greatly
felt want of institutions where Telugu
Catholic boys might be lodged and
cared for and given good Christian
education and where pagan boys also
might be instructed for baptism.
St. Johns Institution for our Telugu
boys conducted by us in the monastery
is the only one of it's kind in an
area of 41,000 square miles with
Telugu native Catholic population of
$4,000 in the midst of some 100000
pagans. In it's humble way it serves
also as sort of preparatory semi
nary; it is our chief source from which
to obtain religious subjects for our
monastery: it further serves as
Catechumenate.
The strength of the institution at
present is more than double of what
it was three years ago. There are
good many willing and anxious to
come; but, alas! there is no room for
more. The boys are, of necessity,
still using a part of the monastery
proper.
We earnestly appeal to the gener-
osity of the readers of EThe Catholic
Bulletin" to kindly help us to find
the funds necessary to buy an old
house or to build the new quarters
that are absolutely needed for the ac-
commodation of more lads. Benefac-
tors will share in the merit of impart-
ing religious education to our fell
low Catholics, of leading promising
youths to the steps of the altar, of
comforting great spiritual and tenn
poral good on the coming generations
of Telugus in India, and of spreading
our Holy Faith in this pagan country.
God will surely bless all those who
contribute even but a little to this
great work.
Besides special Holy Masses and
Novenas On certain occasions prayers
for benefactors are daily said in our
community chapel. Contributions, be
they ever so small, will be most thank
fully accepted and acknowledged.
They may be forwarded either through
His Grace the Most Reverend Arch
bishop J. Aelen, Madras, India, or
through any branch of the Society for
