COLLEGE OF ST. THOMAS
Opened Last Week-Large Registra-
tration-New Library Facilities
New Professors-MiIitary Depart
ment-Many Graduates Enter Sem
mary.

At the opening of new school year
the College of st. Thomas finds itself
better than ever equipped for the
great work it is called upon to do.
The Library has been moved to
more commodious quarters and has re-
ceived considerable accessions. 1t
will be in the charge of the Rev. VIM.
Etzel, M. A., and a corps of assistants
In connection with the library a stu
dents reading room is being estab-
lished which will put at the disposal
of the students not only all the books
required for the work of the debating
societies, but also the best current
literature of the day.
The Academic Department has been
strengthened by the appointment of
Professor Molte, B. A., lately a pro.
fessor in . the University of Notre
Dame, and the faculty of the CONNER
cial Department has been increased by
the appointment of Professors Mersch
and Lorenz, both men of long expert
ence in teaching.
Registration began on Thursday,
September 5th, and all indications
point to the largest attendance in the
history of the College. A gratifying
feature of the enrolment is the num-
ber of states and the number OF ma
tionalities represented The fact that
ST. Thomas is the only Catholic mill
tary school of the first-class in the
United States, is becoming more wide
ly known, and the training which it
gives is making a wider appeal, year
after year.
Another feature of the school that
affords deep qualification to all who
are interested in the College is the
number of young men who this fall
have gone from the College to various
ecclesiastical seminafies to study for
the priesthood. The steady increase
in the number of st. Thomas stu
dents who are candidates for the
sanctuary BODIES good for the Col
lege itself and for the interests of
religion in the Northwest.

SCHOLARLY RELIGIOUS DEAD
Sister M. Borromeo, o. s. o., Dies at
the Mound" After a Long illness
Noted Teacher and Author-A Con-
vert to the Faith-FuneraI Services
] Last Sunday.

/ On Friday, September 6, Sister NJ.
Borromeo, o. S. D., passed away at st.
Clara Convent, Sinsinawa, Wis, in
the forty-third year of her religious
life. Her death was preceded by
long illness eliminating in extreme
suffering for the past five months.
The funeral obsequies we're held last
Sunday afternoon and were presided
over by the Rev. ]. d. Kavanaugh, o.
p. Chaplain at st. Clara's, assisted
by number of priests from Dubuque.
The remains were inferred in the Sis
.ters' cemetery at the foot of the
Mound.
Sister Borromeo Stevens was a
member of the Presbyterian church
when she entered st. Clara Academy
at Benton, Wis, in early childhood.
During the twelve years of her school
life she studied the Catholic religion
under the direction of the sanity
Father Samuel Mazzuchelli, and be-
came a convert to the Faith at it's
close. A year or two after her gradu-
alton she returned to st. Clara and
was received into the Dominican Or
der.
The early years of her religious
life were spent in teaching in the
parochial schools conducted by the
Order in different localities, later in
the academic schools of her Com
nlunity, and finally in the collegiate
department at st. Clara Academy
Amid the daily exactions of a teach
ers life she found time to accomplish
much literary work. She was the first
editor of "The Young Eagle after it
assumed it's present form in 1884 She
was deputed to write an account of
the various parochial school depart
ments for the Catholic exposition in
connection with the Chicago Worlds
Fair of 1893 Later she prepared the
Golden Bells in Convent Towers for
the golden jubilee of st. Clara Con-
vent. Her volume of Little Essays
for Friendly Readers" has had an ex-
tensive circulation An Analyses of
Catholic Novels" Courses of Studies
for Parochial Schools, and many con-
tributions to different Catholic jour-
nails are among the products of her
pen

CATHOLIC SCIENTISTS
Many Priests Have Been Pioneers in
Scientific Research-A Few
Names.

The eyes of America are turned
these days to the work of Father
Jose Algue, Spanish Jesuit, whose
scientific discoveries in Manila have
been the means of saving a million
lives. Father Algue is the successor
of thousands of learned Catholic
priests, whose achievements in every
field of human endeavor have helped
on the progress of scientific research.
Among the Jesuits alone the number
of eminent scientists would appear
incredible were not the record of
their lives indisputable.
Among these priestly scientists
not to mention Copernicus-there are,
says the Pilot the modern Father
Piazzi, a Theatine monk, the discov-
erer of the Planet Ceres; Orioli, who
discovered the orbit of the planet
Uranus; the Able Picard, the first to
make an exact measure of the earth's s
meridian; De Vico, the discoverer of
eight comets; Father Secchi, the best
authority on the sun and it's consti-
tuition; Father Perry, Father Sestini,
Fathers D'Auteroche, Guy, and Denza,
Boscovitch, Maco, Riccati and Moigno
were Jesuits; Lesueur and Jacquier
were Franciscans; Inniger, Sadler
and Maurer were Augustinians, and
Mendel, a Benedictine In the field of
electricity the same prominence. A
Bohemian priest discovered the light
ming rod long before Franklin per-
ceived the identity of electricity and
lightning. In botany it is the same;
i'm physics, in chemistry, in all the
physical sciences.
To anyone, therefore, who can read
the history of physical science, espe-
cially in modern days, it becomes at
once evident how close to the Sane
tuary is the desire for progress and
civilization. In schools reposing under
the very shadow of the Tabernacle,
the knottiest problems have been
studied and solved, and many who are
today using the inventions and dis
coveries Of Catholic priests to decry
religion and to accuse the Church of
ignorance, do not know that the very
weapons they use were perfected by
the Church for nob1er purposes. One
is surprised that Catholic Pope
should use electricity i'm the Vatican.
Why should he not when every volt
recalls the Catholic Volta, and every
ampere, another Catholic electrical
scientist.

NEW ACADEMY DEDICATED
ally Open New Institution at Man.
kato-The Nucleus of a Provincial
Motherhouse-cost $500, COCOON
manding Site-SchooI Term Begins
September 16.

The formal dedication of the new
Academy of Our Lady of Good Coun-
sci, an institution erected by the
School Sisters of Notre Dame, took
place at Mankato last Tuesday. The
exercises opened with a low Mass at
half past seven o'clock, the celebrant
being the Right Reverend P. r. Heff-
ron, ID. D., Bishop of Winona, and a
sermon by the Right Reverend Mgr. P.
N. Abbelen, Chaplain at the Mother
house and Novitiate of the School Sis
ters of Notre Dame, Milwaukee. Dur
ing the Mass the choir of IS. Peter
and Paul's Church sang appropriate
hymns.
During the forenoon the institution
was visited by large number of
specially invited guests including the
priests of the Diocese; and in the af-
ternoon it was thrown open for 1nspec-
ton to the hundreds of people who
came from the city and surrounding
country.
The new Academy is the nucleus of
larger institution which will be the
Provincial Motherhouse of the School
Sisters of Notre Dame for the North
west. The need of such a headquar-
ters in the northern states, west of the
Mississippi, has long been felt by the
members of the Order. About four
hundred Sisters will be transferred
from the jurisdiction of the Mother
house in Milwaukee to the new Prov
ince.
The grounds occupy a lofty table
land overlooking the city of Mankato
and the Mississippi river and COM
prise sixty-three acres of land, part
of which was donated by the late A.
N. Dukes, a nom Catholic, and the re-
mainder by the citizens of Mankato
The Academy occupies lofty emin-
ence overlooking the city to the south.
It's erection and equipment cost about
three hundred thousand dollars.
The Academy win open for school
work un Sept. 16, as boarding and
day school for girls. Glasses will be
organized in primary, academic, and
commercial studies, music, art, elocu-
ton, physical culture, languages, and
domestic science

THE NEWMAN OF NORWAY
krogh- Tonning, Professor of Theology
in the University of Christiania,
Was Convert to the Church
Died Some Months Ago.

Rarely does a conversion to the
Catholic Church create such a pro-
found impression in the converts own
country as was caused eleven years
ago in Norway, writes J. F. Schofeld
in the Catholic World" when the
most learned and influential of the
Lutheran clergy, a parish minister
and professor of theology in the Uni
versity of Christiania, made his sub
mission to the Holy See. It was an
event that could only be paralelled by
that October day two generations
since, when John Henry Newman,
facile princeps among the English
Protestant ecclesiastics of his day,
was received into the One Church by
the ministry Of Father Dominic, the
Passionist.
There are many converts who have
gone through this phase of develop
ment, and many now outside the
Church freely confess that she is in
comparably the best, though they do
not yet recognize her as the one
divinely appointed home for the
wandering souls of men. For some
ten years from 1890, this was his
mental position. He in no way re-
laxed his efforts after Christian unity.
Catholicity and Lutheranism, he
trusted, might still find an entente
that could lead to the restoration of
his beloved country to the Faith. The
original heresy of the Lutheran
Church had centred round the doc
trine of grace; and the result of
Krogh-Tonning' meditations and
studies during those years of anxious
thought was apparent in his book en-
titled "The Doctrine of Grace and the
Silent Reformation" published in 1894,
and his "De Gratia ct Libero Arbitro,"
founded on st. Thomas, which he
brought out four years later. This
latter publication Cardinal Satolli,
himself an illustrious Thomist scholar,
pronounced to be written with
master hand" and one Vicar-Apostolic
in. Christiania was so struck with it's
depth and fidelity to truth that he
gave it his private imprimatur.
On Sexagesima Sunday, February
18th, of this year, as he was waiting
on bench for the tramcar that was
to take him to the Catholic Church
at Christiania for High Mass, the
eminent convert was suddenly called
to a greater rest than even that of the
Church on earth. An attack of heart
failure was the immediate cause of a
death that however sudden was
emphatically no "unprovided" end.
The whole of Norway mourned her
famous son, and the press was full of
notices, that rang with the deepest
respect and admiration The Lutheran
Aftenposten spoke of him as one of
the most distinguished combatants
for the Faith in the fight against the
ranks of unbelief. In fact, "ortho-
dox" Lutheranism recognized that,
whether Catholic or Protestant, the
loss of Krogh-T Tonning was the loss of
Norway's leading champion in the
cause of revealed religion.

1t is difficult to speak of the Italians
in the United States as class for the
reason that they come from different
regions or countries, having different
customs and characteristics, and
speaking different dialects. Then,
too, there is a decided difference be-
tween the Italians who emigrated
thirty-fve years ago and those who
come to the United States today.
What may apply to one class coming
from a certain part of Italy does not
apply at all to the class coming from
some other part. Thus, some people
seem to think that all Italians are of
dark complexion; others, who have
read of some supposed 'blackhand
mystery" infer that all are criminals;
others, again, who have heard of
some anti-clerical outbreak in Italy,
conclude that all are irreligious.
Italian emigration to America,
writes Rev. L. M. Giambastiani in
Extension" began about the year
1876. The earliest immigrants came
from northern Italy, i. e., from Pie
monte and Genovese, and these con-
stitute now the class of the wealthier
Italians in the United States. Be-
tween the years 1882 and 1900 the i'm
migration fever attacked the Italians
of central Italy, viz: Venice, Emilia,
Marche and Tuscany, and thence it
proceeded southwark to Naples, Ca
labria and Sicily The bulk of Italians
immigrating within recent years has
come from southern Italy.

A Religious People.

The Italians are naturally and eS'
sentially a religious people. Even
when they grow seemingly Indifferent
as regards matters religious, religion
still sways their sentiment. But while
all Italians are religious at home, and
while most of them remain religious
abroad, not all display their religion
the same way. Some of them, and
these are, alas! in the majority, are
religious only at heart and in senti
ment: the others are faithful to their
religious duty and show it in their
daily life.
It is not far from the truth to say
that for many Italians, whatever re
ligion they possess is narrowed within
the walls of their home; for the home
of the Italian is essentially religious
Not only do you find the external
signs of their religion in the pictures
that adorn their walls; in the Ma
donna, never wanting at their bed
side; in the ever-burning votary lamp
to the Patron Saint, but even the
elements of the family are deeply re
ligious, SO that we can certainly say
that their domestic life is built on
the solid rock of religion. It is
from this that they draw their deer
respect for the sacred bonds OF
matrimony; hence the high standard
of purity that they present to thei1
children.
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1912-09-14
Family Life.

The married life of the Italians is
highly moral; there is no race suicide
among them; very seldom divorce;
no scandals to feed the papers.
Family quarrels are sometimes to be
noted. These result from the interfer-
ence of parents in the love affairs of
their children, thinking it part of
their authority to dictate whom their
child shall marry. This explains why
Italian young couples frequently
elope. Italian girls as wives are re-
spected and loved-queens in the
household; their fidelity is proverbial;
their love for children is really in
spring. Italian women know nothing
of immoral houses; drunkenness
among them is unknown.
Attitude Towards the Church and
Priests.
1t is in way difficult to reconcile
the deep religious sentiment of the
italian people with their attitude
toward their Church and their priests,
It is a puzzle which it is not easy to
solve. 1t is generally believed that
the Italians are Indifferent to the
Mother Church; for with but few
exceptions all Italians are Catholic
It is this belief that has attracted
Protestant proselytizers. But they
have learned that it is almost impos
sible to change the Faith of an italian
Even though an Italian may be ar
Indifferent or superficial Catholic, he
will never become a good Protestant
It is easier to make an unbeliever o.
him. It happens occasionally that ar
Italian allies himself with this or thai

Drill Versus Illustration.
From the Baltimore Sun.


When Acting Supt. Koch abandons his
rather misleading generalza tons about
running the public schools for the benefit
of the democracy rather than of the arts
tocracy of school child intellect and gets
down to brass tacks, one feels more
sympathy for what he says. His conten-
ton that the schools should be run 50
that the majority of boys and girls may
be fitted to earn a living, rather than
take advantage of an opportunity which
is not theirs, strikes one as absolutely
sound. The remarks of the superintend-
ent on acquisition of the knowledge of
rudimentary arithmetic by drill instead of
by illustration are also very much to the
point There are certain things which
one wants to know inst:nctively. and the
multiplication table is of them. In
cases of this sort parrot-like methods
give better results than deductive ones.
When we want To know what are seven
times seven we want to know it quickly
the reason why seven mes seven make
forty mine is a matter which can usually
be worked out at leisure. Considering
that more time is spent in Baltimore than
in almost any other city in the country
on instruction in arithmetic in the first
grade, there would seem to be something;
wrong about the system, if bus ness men
find the graduates of elementary schools
ing by drilling methods we should be in
terested to hear the views of the superin-
tendent on the present state of proficiency
of those gradual ng from the elementary
schools in the art and practice of spelling
their own language.

While colleges are deciding what the
