STOCK MARKET REVIEW
Trading Very Dull and Changes
of Slight Importance.

The principal topic of conversation
around Wall Street yesterday was the
crop situation, as indicated by the
weather reports, that gave accounts Of
very unfavorable conditions for corn in
Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska. The
lack OF rain, which has resulted in hot,
dry temperatures, has left parts of the
country in such burned-up condition
that it is difficult TO estimate the dam
age, and while traders were not in
clined TO lie over-pessimistic they
realized that II was not wise u
minimize the extent of the injury. An
other subject which called for atten-
ton and was considered to be Of spe-
cial Importance was the status Of af-
fairs in Mexico. The report that Presi-
dent Huerta purposes to send another
note 10 Washington, protesting against
the sending TO Mexico of Commission
er Lind. and the prospect of further
trouble in the City of Mexico were con-
sidered in their possible relation to
the investment situation should the
United States be forced into a position
where intervention would be probable
The general situation, aside from
crops and the Mexican outlook. is ac-
cepted as having an encouraging as
pect, based on the commercial agency
and other reports. While the Street
was interested in the tonnage figures

as the Street had fairly estimated the
figures. The action Of the stock mar
ket as a whole displayed little on which

the volume of business was character
istic of midsummer indifference and
trading moved along in listless man
ner throughout the halliday session.
Declines were many, but with few
exceptions they were confined to frac-
tions. Some stocks exhibited strength,
especially the Interborough- Metropoli-
tan issues, which made gains for the
day and were comparatively active. No

PRIEST ON BOARD OF EDUCATION
Father Bourgeois Elected Member
of State Board of Education of
Rhode Island.

The Rev. ]. R. Bourgeois, pastor of
the Church of st. John the Baptist,
Arctic, r. l., was elected last week
by the General Assembly to the State
Board of Education and Board of
Trustees for the State Normal School
for term of three years. Father
Bourgeois will succeed Samuel w. X.
Allen, the present incumbent of the
office from Kent County, whose term
will end on the first day of February
The State Board of Education, in
accordance with the laws of Rhode
Island, extends it's activities to 'sthe
general supervision and control of the
public schools of the State, with such
high schools, normal schools, and nor
NAL institutes as are or may be es-
tablished or maintained wholly or in
part by the State" 1t comprises the
Governor and Lieutenant Governor
who are members ex-oficio, and six
others from the different counties of
Rhode Island, Providence, however,
having a representation of two mem
bers. In general way the carrying
into effect of the educational legisla-
tion Of the State is entrusted to this
board.

And yet there are persons that tell
us that the Catholic churches are not
paying taxes. With a wave of the
hand they say, Send your children to
the public schools" notwithstanding
the fact that at present there are not
sufficient accommodations for the
pupils attending those schools.
We read year ago in the report of
DR.. Draper, the State Superintendent
of Education, that there were fifty
thousand public school pupils in New
York City, having only halliday ses-
sions, because there were not school
houses enough to accommodate them,
and we read some months ago in the
New York Evening Post an extensive
article advocating the enormous appro>
priation of $40, 100000 for schoolhouses
to meet the exigencies in that respect
for the next ten years. What clamor
would go up from the taxpayers, if in
addition to this they had to provide
for the accommodation and education
of all the children attending the
parochial schools in the metropolis.
Political economists and sociologists
would then have figures and data
galore to prove the high cost of living.

There will be two Masses every Sun
day, the first at o'clock and the
second at 10.
The excavation for the new church
is now almost made, and if the
weather permits the construction
will be pushed along rapidly. The
work in the new parish will be merely
an extension of the work the commun-
ity has carried on at Fifty-ninth street
for years. Father DAILY is placed in
charge of the new parish. He will
adopt uptown the principles and Gus
toms that have worked so success
fully at Fifty-ninth street for the spir-
itual upbuilding Of the people.

Bishop of Stafford Urge More Wide
spread Use of the Missal at Mass
on the Part of the Laity.

| wonder how many of my readers
are in the habit of using Missal
when they hear Holy Mass? asks the
Right Reverend Bishop of Stafford,
England, in his Message" to the
Catholic Federationist" for January.
venture to say that every Cath
olic of average intelligence and ordi-
nary good Catholic education ought to
be able to use Missal and to do So
1t is to be feared that the vast
bulk of even devout and welleducated
Catholics, occupy the time of Mass
with all sorts of prayers and especial
ly the Rosary-all excellent in them
selves-never think for a moment
of the prayers said by the priest at
the altar; nay, in most cases have no
idea what Mass is being said, what
saint commemorated Except in rare
cases), or why the priests vestments
are white, red or green.
Some good people meticulously fill
up every moment of Mass time by
long strings of admirable indulgenced
prayers, having no reference whatever
to the Mass of the day, and which
they would feel it very wrong to
omit; but they have not moment to
spare for either the proper or the
ordinary of the Mass which is being
celebrated before them. This is not
being able to see the wood for the
trees.
Yet such good folk know as well as
you or I that the Holy Sacrifice of
the Mass is not merely quiet half
hour in which to 'get in" ones daily
prayers 1t is an act which we ought
to follow with the most careful atten-
tion and to participate in. The faith
full attending Mass are true co-part-
ners in it's offering. The priest at
the Orate fratres proclaims that it is
my sacrifice and yours" Now, there
is no better way of participating in
the Great Sacrifice than by following
step by step with the priest, joining
with him in the very words he utters
readings from the Epistles or Cos

ST. THOMAS COLLEGE
ENDOWMENT FUND
Catholic Order of Foresters Contri-
butte $5,6o625-knights of Column
bus and Ancient Order of Hiber-
mans Trailing Along Behind.

The College of st. Thomas has,
within the past few days, received
from the Catholic Order of Foresters
of Minnesota a cheque for $5,606.25,
the amount thus far contributed by
the Order to the ST. Thomas Building
and Endowment Fund. Much credit
is due the officers and members of
the Foresters of the State for their
prompt response to the appeal which
was made to them. When that ap-
peal was presented at their annual
convention, it received hearty en-
dorsement from the delegates. 1t
was at once decided to call for volun-
tary contributions from all the Courts
in the State Within few months
after the call was issued the Courts
contributed the splendid cheque now
in the hands of the College.
The two other great Catholic or
ganizations of the State Knights
of Columbus and the Ancient Order
of Hibernians-are also vigorously at
work collecting the amounts pledged
at their respective conventions. The
work is proceeding rapidly, as only a
short time remains before the date
set for the closing of the Fund. Ow-
ing to the terms of the original grant
which formed the basis of the Fund,
and according to the present condi-
ton Of the subscription, for every
thousand dollars now raised in Mime
sofa corresponding sum of two
thousand dollars will be contributed
from outside sources. This renders
the response of the Catholic orders
matter of supreme interest to the
College.
1t is not often that the great Catho-
lie organizations of Minnesota are
called upon to aid cause under such
unique circumstances. The College
authorities feel sure that, when the
lists of contributors will be drawn
up, the Catholic orders will hold an
honorable place among the benefac.
tors of the school.

CATHOLIC EDUCATIONAL
ASSOCIATION
Tenth Annual Convention Will Be
Held in New Orleans From June 80
to July 3-Purpose of the Associa-
tion.

1t has just been announced that the
Catholic Educational Association of
the United States has accepted the in
vitation of the Most Reverend Arch
bishop Blenk and will hold it's Tenth
Annual Convention in New Orleans.
The sessions will open on June 80 and
continue for four days.
The Rev. F. w. Howard, Secretary
of the Association, visited New Or
leans last week to make the prelimi-
nary arrangements for the meeting. He
outlined the work of the Association
at a meeting of the pastors of the
city churches presided over by the
Most Reverend Archbishop Blenk. He
said that the object of the Associa-
ton, as stated in the constitution,
was to keep in the minds of the peo-
pie the necessity of religious instruc-
ton and training as basis of morality
and sound education, and to promote
the principles and safeguard the in
terests of Catholic education in all its
departments.

USE OF THE MISSAL AT MASS

pels; verses from the Psalms; prayers,
either connected with the feast of the
day, or with the Ordinary that is the
unchanging portions of the Mass. Than
these, no more beautiful and touch
ing devotions can be found To use
them thus is surely pre-eminently to
think and feel and pray with the
Church, whose voice they are. And to
do so, we must use the Missal.
Use of MissaI.
Nowadays this is quite easy. Of
course there have always been ac-
cessible editions of the MissaI in the
vernacular, which the ordinary lay
person with little practice can use.
But now you can get Missal con-
tanning both the Latin and the English
side by side; so that one who has
quite a moderate knowledge of Latin
can most easily follow what the priest
is saying or singing at the altar
The objection will be made that it
is difficult to find ones way about a
Missal, that it is confusing and dis
tracing. l admit that there is some
truth in this, at least for beginners.
But little practice will overcome
this difficulty. One needs to learn
how to use, not only the Missal itself,
but also the Calendar for the current
year. And this leads me to my prac-
tical suggestion, viz: that the elder
students in our colleges, training col
leges, and convent schools might well
be taught how to use Missal and
encouraged to use it at every Mass
they attend. 1t would be a precious
acquisition for life. And l can as
sure my readers that, once the habit
is formed of following the Holy Sacri-
fee with a Missal uniting with the
priest in the very words of the Mass,
and therefore with the sentiments
and prayers of the Church herself, the
Mass acquires quite new and special
significance, attendance at it becomes
far more delightful and consoling; so
that person who has learnt to use
the Missal will never give it up, even
to gain time for his more favourite
devotions. Try, and see for your
selves.
