CATHOLIC EDUCATIONAL
ASSOCIATION CONVENTION
A BRILLIANT GATHERING AT NEW
ORLEANS.
Evils in Present Day Education
Pointed Out.

The annual convention of the Cath
olic Educational Association was held
at New Orleans last week It proved
to be the most notable gathering of
educators in the history of the So
ciety. The great problems concern
ing education in this country were
thoroughly discussed, and resolutions
were passed showing the trend of
thought that dominated the assembly.
The following is resume of the
resolutions:
"As Catholic educators, we pledge
ourselves to renewed efforts under the
direction of the ecclesiastical author
ity to the service of Church and coun-
try in the grand cause of Christian
education We regard this work of
religious education as one on which
the future welfare of our nation de-
pends.
1--WE call attention to the great
waste of public funds and the evil of
the constantly increasing burden of
taxation. This extravaganza has re-
suited largely from a tendency on the
part of the State to do for children
that which should be done for them by
parents, and to do for the citizen what
he should do for himself Let the
State urge and encourage the citizen
to care for his children, but let it not
place unjust burdens on those who at
great sacrifice are discharging this
primal duty of parenthood. Let the
State cherish the idea of parental re.
sponsibility as one of the foundation
stones of American freedom.
Whereas, Liberty of Education has
always been regarded in our country
as basic principle; and,
Whereas, The right of the parents
to educate is one of those fundamental
rights which cannot, without injustice
be interfered with; and, whereas, the
continued recognition of this right is
essential to the preservation of most
cherished prerogatiVe of American
citizenship; be it
Resolved, That the Catholic Educa
tionaI Association objects to any en-
croachment on this right to liberty o1
education.
Whereas, All education should bt
so directed as to preserve moral pur
| ity, and the communication of knowl
edge relating thereto should be adapt
ed to the age and growth of the child
and,
Whereas, The communication O
this necessary knowledge pertains O
right to the parents and the divinel!
constituted guides of the children; b.
it
Resolved, That we protest agains
and condemn as subversive of true
morality the imparting of knowledge
to children as at present carried on il
many private and public schools in thu
country"

DEATH OF BISHOP JANSEN
VENERABLE PRELATE FINALLY
sUcCUMBs.
On Wednesday, July 2, Rt. Rev. Bishop
Jansen, of BelIeViIle, Illinois, Died
After a Protracted illness.

Bishop Jansen was born March 8,
1885, making him seventy-eight years
of age at his death. He was born in
Keppeln, Rhineland, Germany, and re-
ceived his education in the parochial
schools of his native city, in the high
school at Calcar, the Bishops College
at Goesdonck and in Muenster, Ger
many. He was ordained in Alton, No
vember 10, 1858, at the age of twenty
three years. Having filled the Office of
pastor, Bishops secretary and Vicar
General, he was made administrator
of the newly made Diocese of Belle
vile in 1887 and on February %,
1888, he was elected Bishop of that
diocese. He was consecrated in ST.
Peters Cathedral, Belleville, on the
25th of the following April Both as
pastor and as Bishop he was loved
and respected by all. He was a zeal
Gus pastor and an humble, God-fear-
ing Bishop. He had his troubles; he
carried his crosses, and he tried to
follow the example and walk in the
footsteps of his Divine Master. He
has fought the good fight, he has kept
the faith, and we hope he is now en-
joying the fruits of his long service.
May he rest in peace.

Mr.. BALF0UR AND UNCONVENTIONAL SCHOOLS

which has grown up-as things in
this country do grow up under the
pressure of different forces-which
has never been symmetrically ar
ranged from the beginning, and is
not now a symmetrical system, logi-
cally defensible in every part. All
you can do is to mould that system
gradually as far as possible to the
two ideals-frst, that religious educa-
ton should not be separated from
secular; and, secondly, that the religi-
Gus education should be the religious
education desired by the parents of
the child for the child.
A Deadly Blow.
If, per impossible, the whole sys-
tenn of voluntary schools and denom-
national teaching in this country
were to break down, then who can
doubt that blow of the deadliest
kind would have been levelled at the
educational ideal which commends
itself not merely to the inhabitants
of this room and people like-minded
with themselves, but to that great
body of opinion throughout the coun-
try which believes that it is madness
to bring up the rising generation with
out some worship and belief in the
Unseen? You would have lost some
thing out of the past which no efforts
in the present or the future could give
back to you. If the Church of Eng
land and others interested in religious
education, denominational or unde-
nominational-I make no exception in
this matter-fail to keep religious
| teaching in the schools, no subsequent
lamentations will help in the small
est degree to give you back that
which your carelessness has thrown
away. l do not deny that quite
apart from the difficulty of meeting
the great and the growing strain
necessarily thrown upon the liberal
ity of Churchmen by the expansion
of the needs, sometimes real, some
times rather fanciful, as conceived
by the responsible authorities of
elementary education-apart, 1 say,
from that great and growing strain,
l do not in the least deny that there
are great difficulties in carrying out
our ideal, of providing religious edu-
cation in conformity with the wishes
of the parent.
Some Interesting Comparisons.
OF course, there are such difficulties.
And yet we are, I think, more hope
fully situated for their solution than
we were when first entered public
life. To begin with, l am convinced
that those who lead thought in the
country are far less enamored of a
secular ideal than they we're thirty
years ago. notice the same feeling OF
uneasiness growing in other coun
tries over the loss which any com.
munity must suffer which permits
itself to lapse into the slough OF
mere materialism, speculative OF
practical. You will find thinkers not
very well disposed towards Chris
tianity-certainly with no special
claims to orthodoxy-you will find
them looking uneasily in many coun.
tries at the result which the secular
ization of education has produced and
is producing.

.BEAT|F|CATION OF AMERICAN
NUN UNDER CONSIDERATION
MOTHER DUcHESNE, FOUNDER
OF SACRED HEART COMMUNITY
IN THIS COUNTRY, is SUBJECT
OF Observation-Disclosures
RECOGNIZED AS VENERABLE"

The Venerable Mother Duchesne
was the first religious of the Sacred
Heart commissioned by the Mother
General in France to come to this
country. She first went to New Or
leans in 1918, afterward labored in a
mission at Pottawatomie, Kan, among
the Indians, and in later life came to
ST. Charles. She died in 1852 at the
st. Charles Convent, and her grave In
the convent cemetery is point of pill
grimage.
Several miraculous cures and other
signs of special piety are attributed to
Mother Duchesne. An ecclesiastical
inquiry has been conducted by a num-
ber of priests appointed for this pur-
pose, and Father Gilfillan. was chosen
to take the testimony to Rome. Mother
Duchesne already has been so far
recognized at the Vatican that her
canonization has advanced the first
step, and she is now spoken of as
Venerable" The next step will be
Blessed" and after that is the order
of full canonizatfon.

TWO LARGE PIC VIC S
ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS AF-
FAIRS WELL ATTENDED.

On the Fourth of July the Catholics
of ST. Paul and of Minneapolis held
two monster picnics. All the parishes
in each city participated in the affairs.
In ST. Paul the Union Picnic was Civ
en- on the grounds of st. Thomas
College, the proceeds being ap-
piled to the work of the House of
the Good Shepherd. In Minneapolis,
the Catholic Orphanage was the scene
of the festivities, and will be the bene-
ficiary of the occasion.
The weather proved very uncertain
until about nine o'clock in the morn
ing, when the rain ceased, and the
sun shone forth in harmony with the
spirit of the day. This brought out a
large number of people to each picnic.
At each gathering there was a great
deal of enthusiasm displayed, and all
entered heartily into the spirit of the
outing. Refreshments, games, dinner,
sports, amusements of all kinds fur
nished a pleasing variety, and every
one departed feeling much the better
for the days experience. An added
feature of the Minneapolis picnic was
a contest for the title of Queen of the
Day. This coveted honor was won by
Miss Margaret Smith, of Ascension
parish.
The success of the affair in each
city was due entirely to the tireless
activity of the committees in charge,
all the members entering spiritedly
and with zest into the work. The Bull
letin hopes to present report later on
showing the financial result of the
two picnics.

DR.. WALSH AND THE EUGENIsTs
MAKES STRIKING COMPARISON
BETWEEN TWO STATES OF
ANCIENT WORLD.

In connection with the recent con-
vention of alienists and neurologists
at Chicago, Dr. James J. Walsh sub
jected the eugenist theories to some
severe criticism. He compared the
achievements of ancient Sparta with
those of Athens. The Spartans had
developed eugenist theories to such a
degree that they killed all physically
weak infants; only the strong and
healthy were allowed to grow up. And
what was the outcome?
"The Spartans were the best fight
ing machines the world ever had, but
they have not left us a single intelli-
gent idea," said DIR. Walsh. Athens,
town of no greater size than Sparta,
and not far away, containing the same
race of people and enjoying the same
climate, left the world an immense
heritage Of ideas without any of this
eugenic nonsense. Everything mar
velous in the world of art, literature
and architecture is Athenian in origin.
eff this is what we want, a nation
of physically perfect persons, in whom
the physical is to put the intellectual
and moral In the background, let us
have eugenics pushed to the extreme.
We need more careful selection of
mates for marriage, but it is probable
that the instinct of the race is a
better guide in this matter than all
the artificial regulations that might be
made.
let us not forget that good many
of the great intellectual men OF the
world have been weaklings I'm body.
There was Newton, the great English
mathematician, and Byron, Stevenson
and Grieg were delicate"

NEW CHURCH FOR ST. CLEMENT
GROUND HAS BEEN BROKEN FOR
NEW EDIFICE AT PATH AVE. AND
JACKSON STREET, AT MINNEA-
POLLS.

Ground was broken on Monday,
June 23rd, for the commencing of the
work on the erection of the new
st. Clements Catholic Church, of
which Rev. Father R. ]. Fitzgerald is
pastor. The property on which the
edifice will be built adjoins the pa
rochial residence and has a sixty
eight foot frontage on Twenty-fourth
avenue. The church is to be ready
for occupancy about December 18th
and will cost in the neighborhood of
$4,000, of which sum the building
contract amounts to $4,000. The
church will he 60x113 feet, with a
basement running under the entire
building. There will be two towers
ninety feet in height, and also two
sacristies, one of which will be used
for a winter chapel The windows of
the church will be of stained glass
with religious figured subjects. The
wainscoting will be real Kasota mar

white marble. The building will be
built of red Streeter, ILL.,, pressed
brick, and blush colored Bedford
rock, Indiana stone, will be used for
trimmings. The ceiling will be a
panel one of steel and the pews will
be made of solid oak. The church
will be electric lighted throughout and
steam heated and will accommodate
six hundred people. The tower on
the corner of Twenty-fourth avenue
and Jackson street will be the en-.
trance to the gallery and the opposite
one will have the baptistry. The
floor of the church will have an in
cline of two feet from the entrance
to the communion railing. There
are about two hundred families be
longing to the church residing in the
parish. The cornerstone will be laid
later in the summer and the building
will be dedicated in the fall st
Clements Church was organized eight
cen years ago and was for the first
seven years a mission of st. Anthony
of Padua's Church, Northeast, and the
services we're supplied from thai
church In 1902 Father Fitzgerald
was appointed the first pastor the
church had and he has remained here
ever since. The parish has increased
greatly during his time and the new
building is the outcome of hearty co
operation of Father Fitzgerald anC
his many willing church workers.
