Question of the Greatest

Five Acknowledged Leaders for All Time Would

Or will the future bring 70 the fore
some batter with such wonderful bat
ting eve. such wonderful batting skill,
and such nights power IN his arms that
he will shat,er the records made by this
wonderful quintettei
A bevY OF questions. these, aud ones
that time alone can answer.
We're YOU TO ask TO-DAY which OF the
quintette is the greatest batter that
ever stepped to the plate. a mighty
chorus would tell you Cobb, another
chorus would shout Anson: and an
equal number would name jackson,
Wagner and Lajoic. And. as we view
il, everyone would be right and no one
wrong.
All Are Right.
Such a statement seems odd, but IT
ism T. Each member of this wonderful
ords that ao one ever has equaled or
even approached
Jackson. the baby Of the quintette,
has been in the ma jor leagues only four
years. Yet in that time he has amassed
grand batting average OF .39l--a rec
ord without parallel in the history OF
the game. None of the other four hit
for such an average in their first four
wears. in the majors, nor did they ever
hit for ,39l for any four successive
years.
Cobb, IN nine years in fast company.
has clubbed them out for grand aver
age of .371-another mighty reeord In

lean league in batting for seven sue.
cessive years-from 1907 90 1913. in-

day there viii come man who can
bat .311 for nine straight years, and
there may come n man who can lead bis

TO conceive time when there will come

ST. PATRIcK's PURGAToRY,
LoUGH DERG.

In the heart of the Donegal noun
tains, and within four miles of Pettigo
on the Great Northern Railway, lies
the famous sanctuary of Tough Derg,
Hallowed by the footprints of st. Pat
rick and many another saint. Lough
Derg has a claim on Irish Catholics
which the sons of St. Patrick have
gladly recognized. Here between the
1st of June and the 18th of August
every year pilgrims from many parts
of the world meet on terms of equal
ity. All go through religious exer
cises cheerfully Divested of boots
and stockings the pilgrims perform
the station" over the oft-trodden
paths with rosary beads in their
hands. The exercises, or station as
they are called, last for three days
Those who have been on the pilgrim
age once usually long to return, and
in many cases even a separation by
8, 900 miles of ocean has not prevented
pilgrims from complying with Their
hearts desire. The rigorous fast
and religious exercises of the sta

CONTINUATION SCHOOLS.

Germany does not allow her boys
and girls to enter blind alleys" en-
Payments If she can help it. The
German continuation school system
takes hold of the boy of fourteen or
fifteen as soon as he finishes the ele-
mentary school and perpares him for
some particular trade or business.
What the work of these vocational
schools means in the sum total of
German Industrial efficiency and So
cial progress is well indicated in a
bulletin on "Prussian Continuation
Schools" recently published by the
United States bureau of education
The information was obtained from
American consuls located in important
German cities.
In Magdeburg boys completing the
common school are assisted by the
school authorities in securing desira-
BILE situations, and are required to at
tend the continuation schools while
employed. There are classes for bak-
ers, butchers, BARRIERS, walters, paint
ers, decorators, blacksmiths, tailors,
cabinetmakers, and in fact for any
occupation in which it is practicable
for boy to engage. Even if the boy
does not aspire to be skilled work
man, but is content to become street
cleaner, house servant, messenger, or
to engage in any other form of I'M
skilled labor, he is nevertheless re-
quired to spend three years in the con-
tinuation school.
In Erfurt and other Prussian cities
employers are compelled by law to
excuse their employees for the lesson
hours without loss of pay, for four
to six hours a week Furthermore,
the employers pay the tuition fees in
these industrial schools, amounting
to about $3.50 per year for an appren-
tice or 81 for unskilled workers. The
main financial burden is met by the
municipality, with some aid from the
State. The State makes it's appropria-
ton contingent upon compulsory at
tendance, with the result that compul-
sorry continuation schools are gradual
ly replacing the optional type.
Barmen has continuation school
with an attendance of nearly four
thousand The pupils are divided into
131 classes. There are classes in tex
tiles, lace, forging, plumbing, electric
installation, furniture and weaving,
loom making, house carpentry, house
painting and decorating, shoe making,
saddlery, upholstery, tailoring, garden
ing, printing, bookbinding and box
making, TYPOGRAPHY and engraving,
baking and candy making as well as
| for butchers, BARRIERS and wigmakers.
messengers, and helpers.
instruction in these continuation
schools is by no means confined to
technical branches. Besides definite
vocational training, the pupils receive
instruction in certain branches de
signed to aid them as citizens civic
affairs, trade history, and community
welfare-in addition to composition
and arithmetic based chiefly on the
vocational work

tie, a sordid tale, as unromantic as a
scrubbing brush itself-a husband in
the hospital, five children at home, q
fear that one was learning bad ways
from the neighbors' boys. And then
the feather-weight that had brought
the infrequent tears. Mrs. Meyer had
gone to the hospital that day to see
her husband, and a blockade of the
street cars had delayed her so that
she did not arrive till after visiting
hours were over.
"Ten cents, an my time wasted!''
lamented Mrs. Meyer, drawing her
arm across her eyes. An John fret
tin his heart out for the sight of me
an news of the children"
That ten cents set Enid to thinking.
She was a working girl herself, and
she knew how extravagances in one
direction must be atoned for by econ
omy somewhere else.
Had you your luncheon today?"
she asked, bluntly.
Mrs. Meyers white face showed a
flush.
"I'll have bite when l go home.
They say we eat moren we ought any
how"
1t was clear that, in her way, she
was philosopher
''I've a sandwich left from my lunch
con and piece of gingerbread, too.
Mother always puts up more than !
can eat. You'll feel better for a bite
of something right now.'
"Blessins on you for your kind
hearth" said Mrs. Meyer.
Enid went back to her machine
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1913-08-02

laughing. Mrs. Meyer classed herself
and the plutocrats all together, as for
tunate people who could keep their
hands clean, and were sure of all they
wanted to eat. And, after all, there
was good deal in her point of view
which appealed to Enid as reasonable.
In comparison with the woman who
had given her glimpse into the life
of thousands in the city, what
good fortune her lot seemed! How
lucky she was to be sitting tipping Mr..
Rusk's letters for fifteen dollars a
week, instead of scrubbing floors for
fifteen cents an hour.
She was just leaving when Mr.. Rusk
came in, and he looked at her in sur
prise.
What, here yet?''
"I've just finished. The letters are
on your desk, Mr.. Rusk."
Didn't realize I was loading you up
quite so heavy at that hour in the
evening" said the junior partner, rath-
er apologetically. We'll make it right
some afternoon this week Good
light"
Mrs. Meyer, revived by the sand
wich, smiled as she passed. She would
scrub her way down the stairs. Enid
dropped the six stories in the eleya-
tor, like bird sinking earthward.
She was tired and hungry, but curl
ously jubilant, enveloped by a sense
of we'll being, vaguely conscious of
blessing she did not deserve. For
she was going home, and her mother
would be watching for her and keep
ing her supper warm.

WORKING FOR GOD.

We talk sometimes of working for
humanity, but all honest work honest
ly done is that, whether it is making
a stove or building a hospital. The
race is being lifted by it's great think
ers and philanthropists, by it's invent
ors and reformers; but it is being
lifted also by every faithful conscien-
tious toiler who does his best days
work for his days wage, and puts
interest and soul instead of mere sell
fishness into his task. The kingdom
of God is rising out of the shame and
sin of earth day by day, and its build
ers are not only those who are put
ting their work into souls, but those
who put their souls into work as well
each man building ''over against his
own house." as best he may by doing
for Christ's sake the thing that is Civ
en- him to do.

THE FOUNDER OF PAwNsHoPs.


The legacy of $4,000 recently be-
queathed by the Marquis de Query
for the redemption of objects pledged
by the poor at the Paris pawnbroking
establishments is an act of charity of
a kind by no means uncommon in
France, and one which is worthy of
the religious origin of the Mont-de-
Piete. When M. Santos-Dumont, the
pioneer of mechanical fight, won the
M. Deutsch de la Meurtne prize of
$4,000, he gave half the amount for
a purpose similar to that to which the
Marquis de Guerry's legacy has just
been devoted, only STIMULATING that the
money should be used for the redemp-
ton of articles of actual necessity,
such as wearing apparel and bed
clothes. From which it may be in
ferred that the spirit of st. Bernard
inc of Siena, founder of the pawn
office, still lives in France, where so
much that testified to the benevolent
and humanitarian influence of the
Church has been ruthlessly swept
away. There, too, the state pawn
off1ce-and every establishment of
that kind is state property in France
still retain their title of Mont-de-
Piete, or Mount of Piety, although it
is doubtful if the general public pauses
today to think how the term origin
ated.
One of the symbols of st. Bernard
inc of Siena is a green hill composed
of three mounds, with either a cross,
or a standard bearing an image of
the dead Christ on the mound for
which the remaining two form, as it
were, a pedestal. The Italians call
this image a Pieta; hence the name
Monte-Di-Pieta, which in France be
came Mont-de-Piete.
In every large city in which, he
gave a sermon, st. Bernardine found
ed a Mount of Piety or society for
lending small sums to the very poor
on trifling pledges. Before his death.
branch societies had spread all over
Italy, and he saw the system adopted
in France as well. The honor of found
ing the pawn Office is said to have
been shared with ST. Bernardine Of
| Siena, by another monk of the same
order-Blessed Bernardine of Feltri
Indeed, some writer's seem to place
him first in the field.

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
A TOUCH OF NATURE.

-A is 81
There was a slushy sound in the
corridor which told that the scrub
woman was at work.. the splash of wa
ter from her pail, and now the gritty
sound of the brush scraping back and
forth over the marble. That sound
added to Ends sense of injury. She
pulled out her handkerchief, and held
it to her eyes. 1t would not do for a
tear to splash down on the letter so
nearly finished.
1t was all the fault of the inconsid-
crate junior partner. Mr.. Bruell, the
senior, was a white-haired, courteous,
old man who never worked hard him.
self, and was anything but exacting
with his employees.
| Mr. Rusk, on the other hand, was a
sort of human steam engine. He said
himself that the secret of his success
was that he knew how to make other
people work. Enid thought that it was
probably true.
Mr.. Rusk had come into the Office at
| four o'clock.
where's Miss Williams?" he asked
tersely.
AS a rule Miss Williams took Mr..
Rusks' dictation, while Enid was espe-
cially allotted to Mr.. Bruell's service.
She had congratulated herself good
many times that the case was not re-
versed.
"She went home at noon. She had
such bad headache that Mr.. Bruell
excused her"
Mr. Rusk offered no comment.
''You will have to come to the desk.
/ have some letters"
Mr.. Rusk dictated rapidly. Enid did
not dare let her attention wander,
but again and again she found herself
wondering when Mr. Rusk was going
to stop. Her pencil few across the
pages which kept turning with such
monotonous regularity Why, she had
work enough to keep her busy all the
evening. But, of course, he could not
expect her to get them out that night
This hope was soon dissipated
When Mr.. Rusk concluded, he said:
Lay them on my desk for my sigma
ture when you finish. I'll be bacl
some time in the evening to look then
over
He went out of the room withou
once looking back at the girlish face
suddenly angry and dismayed.

the moment that she really meant it
that I'd never been b-borni"
The typewriter had to stop for mo
ment, and Enid heard sound in the
hall, not the sound of water splashins
over the sides of the pail, nor the
scrubbing brush, patiently obliteratine
the traces of muddy feet. What Enid
heard was something very different
the sound of sobbing.
Enid rose and flung the door wide
open. The scrub woman was squat
ting in grotesque fashion on the
floor, and crying as If her heart would
break.
"Oh,' exclaimed Enid, with a ittlt
gasp, what is the NATTER"
