hitting memorial action at the pres
cnt council. There are councils in
the Philippines, in Cuba and in
Porto Rico, and they will be
extended wherever active American
Catholics are called.
Requests have been made from
Italy and one or two other Euro
pean countries for the extension of
the order of Knights of Columbus
in these nations, but the proposals
are NOT regarded favorably by the
supreme council which holds that
the order is strictly an American
institution suited to the needs of
American men and not designed to
be used except by the nations who
owe their existence to the discover
les made by Columbus. Then also
the ritual of the order is in English
and it would suffer by translation
into another language.
The Knights Of Columbus en-
brace four different grades or
classes. In order to Be a fourth
degree Knight man must have
passed the three lower degrees and
have been a member of tn organiza-
ton not less than two years. A
special assembly is provided for the
knights of the fourth degree which
is presided over by supreme mas
ter for each State organization,
The cause Of education always
has received much help from the or
der, chiefly because many Of it's
members are of the class who ap-
preciate the full value of educa-
ton. The local councils in differ
ent cities have been generous in the
support of the Roman Catholic
high schools and have in number
OF instances arranged for night
classes and in other ways aided to
place the means of special or higher
education within the reach OF those
who would otherwise find it unob-
tainable. The greatest work along
this line, however, has been to aid
the Roman Catholic university at
Washington, which is becoming
institutions of learning in the coun-
try. A few years ago an appeal
went out from the university for the
establishment Of a special chair of
American history. Although the
order Of Knights of Columbus was
less than half as large as now,
ready response was made. The sum
Of $4,000 was raised and the pre-
sentation was made one of the his
toTic events in the history of the
organization. Over 10000 visiting
Knights came to Washington from
all parts Of the country The check
presented was mammoth one,
measuring ten feet long by four feet
wide, painted on yellum in four col
ors. It bears the names Of all of
the contributing councils, and after
passing through the bank in the
capital city it was returned to New
Haven, Conn, where it was framed
and now hangs in the great hall of
the national headquarters of the
Knights of Columbus.
x
The enthusiasm with which this
sum was raised led the KNIGHTS to
undertake a much greater effort
which now has been carried to COM
pletion. With the opening Of the
great university this fall will come
an endowment Of 100000 which
has been raised and will be pre-
scented by the Knights Of Columbus
for the establishment Of ten schol-
arships in important subjects which
will be eligible to students from all
parts of the country by competitive
examination. AS the order hac No

whose aims are always FRATERNITY.
charity and patriotism and has
fostered an order whose oath is
reasonable to the United States
authorities.
We reproduce Mr.. Haskin's arti-
Gle:
The annual meeting of the
knights of Columbus, which will be
held in Denver next week will draw
thousands of men from all parts of
the country notwithstanding that it
follows upon the enormous gather
ing of the same organization called
TO Washington on June to attend
the ceremonies connected with the
unwilling Of the Columbus Memo
rial in the capital city
The Knights of Columbus is an or
ganization for men conducted under
the full approval of the Roman
Catholic church. Many Of the lead
ing Catholic clergymen of the coun-
try are Knights of Columbus and
the organization has received the
blessings and commentator of his
holiness the pope. It is not in any
sense church organization,
although it works in harmony with
the church and always is an active
aid in any needed Catholic phi1an-
thropy.
The order of the knights of Co
lumbus was organized in New Hav-
en-, Conn, on March 20, 1882, and
incorporated under the laws of that
State. It's object as stated was to
promote social and intellectual in
tercourse among it's members and to
render pecuniary aid to them and
their benefciaries by form of in
surance that would be within reach
Of all. It's growth for the first ten
years was comparatively small, and
at the time of its Incorporation it's
founders had no idea, other than
that of a local or at the most,
State organization. The marvellous
growth during the last 20 years
shows how great was the need for
an organization that would appeal
to the better class of Catholic men
as worthy of their effort and fill to
them in some respects even a great
er place than do other secret orders
to the non-Catholic community.
Eligibility to it's insurance privi-
leges extends to all Roman Catholic
men between the ages of 10 and 20,
and for those who are older or who
because of physical weakness are
not admissible to insurance mem
bership, an associate membership is
provided which now numbers about
three times that of the insurance
members for whose benefit the Or
ganization was first conceived.
There are about 100000 mem
bers Of the Knights of Columbus in
Guided in the 1876 councils found
upon this continent and the other
possessions of the United States,
and the number is growing rapidly.
At first it was intended to keep the
organization in the United States,
but it has spread into Canada so
that delegates from Winnipeg, Que
bee, Montreal and other Canadian
cities will attend the council in Dem
yer. There are a number of coun-
ellis also in Mexico. Every State
