Mass branch of the American Eu-
nOmic League, an association of Cath
olic university and college graduates and
students 1t has two great objects.
First, the awakening of strong public
conscience by spreading abroad the great
social and economic principles of Chris
tian democracy long maintained by the
Catholic Church, and particularly en-
phasized by the late Pope Leo XIII; sec
ondly, the attainment of social order by
systematic endeavor to secure the
enactment and enforcement OF humane
laws based on the true understanding of
divine justice.
The league wishes not only to spread
abroad correct eunomic principles but
also to stimulate strong interest among
Catholic laymen of the country in the
vital and pressing social questions of
the day. II will endeavor to accomplish
its purpose by carrying out the following
programme: Twice monthly each branch
Will hold a debate on the subject as
signed by a committee of the national
body, after which there will be a gen
eral discussion and a vote taken to de-
termine the prevailing opinion of those
present. This vote. the decision of the
judges, and a summary of the important
arguments will be sent to the national
headquarters, where they will be regis
tered and compared with the reports OF
other branches. Through this means II
is hoped that effective speakers will be
trained and many questions now only
vaguely understood by the general public
be made clearer and be more sanely con-
Sidered. The branches will also under
take the publication monthly OF pam
phlets dealing briefly but clearly with
the most important social and economic
questions. These will be written by the
best Catholic authorities which the
league can enlist in its cause and 1t is
proposed to maintain a high standard OF
literary excellence, as well as economic
and ethical soundness. These pamphlets
will be distributed free.
The headquarters of the Cambridge
branch is at . Fairfax Hall. Richard
Dana skinner is the president: Ccnstan-
tine Z. Mcguire, vice president; John
McDill Fox, secretary, and John NJ. A.
DOugherty, treasurer.

KANSAS CATHOLICS
AID SOCIAL WORK

The Catholic churches OF Kansas City
joined heartily with the Protestant and
Jewish congregations in taking a reli-
gious census of the city, according to
the Survey. The fellowship that grew
up among the representatives of these
different faiths while engaged in this
common work led to further results.
The Rev. Father Scanlon, pastor of st.
Stephens Church, responded to a cir
cular letter sent out by the district
superintendents of the Board of Public
Welfare, asking for an opportunity to
present various lectures in church
buildings. These addresses on social
topics were given for three months
every Sunday evening in the hall con-
ncCted with his church. The same
building was equipped with a gymna-
stun, shower baths and game rooms for
the use of boys clubs and a young
mems club. The Rev. Charles Del
becchi. pastor of the Holy Rosary
Church, in response to the same official
appeal, arranged numerous lectures
and social entertainments and person.
ally co-operated with the district su-
perintendent in social work for the
whole population. In a recent address
at the City Club he charged the city
with neglecting his district and made
a forcible plea for the Improvement of
the housing conditions and for the
erection in his community of a large
new public schoolhouse fully equipped
for social center meetings. At such
neighborhood centers in other districts
he frequently speaks. His translation
into Italian of a little manual of legal
suggestions for the ordinary man was
printed with the English orinigal by
the free legal aid bureau of the Board
Of Public Welfare for the use of the
Italian population. His assistant con-
ducts a class in Italian for about a
dozen of the social workers in Kansas
City. He attends a normal class in rec
reation conducted by the superinten-
dent of the recreation department, in
order the better To initiate Italian
boys clubs in some Of the public social
centers.
