CATHOLIC SERVICES AT BAU-
DETTE.

Baudette, Mimi, Nov. Is, 1913.
To the Editor of The Catholic Bulletin:
Dear Sir:
Would you allow me space in your
valuable paper to set right some
wrong impressions which many peo-
pie residing in the southern part
of the state appear to entertain in
regard to this section of northern
Minnesota Almost daily I meet per-
sons from your section of the country
who express their surprise on arriving
here to find thriving Catholic par
ish. 1t has occurred to me that per-
haps many of your readers who would
like to settle in this section have not
done so because they thought that
they could not get the benefits Of the
Catholic Church if they moved to this
country. Nothing could be farther
from the truth. The headquarters of
the parish is at Baudette, where there
is very comfortable church building.
and | also visit all other sections Of
the parish at least once month. The
parish is big, it is true, but I can al
ways be reached for sick calls or for
anything else requiring my attention
Baudette itself is thriving village
of twelve hundred, with all modern
conveniences. 1t is the center Of a
very prosperous and growing country,
and / have no hesitation in recon-
mending it as a suitable place to live
for any of your readers who may be
contemplating change Of residence.
Thanking you in advance for the
valuable space in your paper, am,
Yours very truly,
E. BOssUS,
Parish Priest.

Last week about two hundred
American sailors visited Rome and
received the honor of a private
audience with the Holy Father.
They made an excellent i'm
preston not only in Rome but
throughout Italy. They visited
many of the important cities and
took advantage of the opportunity
to see the sights. Nearly all car
ried cameras and guide books and
stayed at good hotels. The Ital-
ians were amazed at the bluejack-
cts because they were seeing the
sights like ordinary tourists in
stead of having good times in the
wine shops. They regarded these
American visitors with great adj
miration and respect. Many large
manufacturing concerns threw

Minneapolis has eight saloons
less than it had a year ago. The
City Council closed one, two went
into bankruptcy, four closed their
doors before the licenses expired,
and one failed to open after Sc
curing a license. There is no i'm
mediate danger, however, that the
people of Minneapolis will suffer
from thirst. There are still 400
licensed saloons in that city and
the Council is struggling to reduce
this number to 375. Let us hope
that it will succeed.

TEMPERANCE SOCIETIES NEcEs-

Temperance societies have, I be-
lieve, been organized in all our par
ishes. | should regard a parish in
which no such society exists as a
neglected parish, as one which does
little credit either to the pastors zeal
or to the deep interest which he
should take in the welfare of his peo-
pie. But it is vain to organize tenn
perance society and then leave it
pretty much to take care of itself.
It is piece of machinery which will

ical movement economically insane
and based upon philosophy funda-
mentally false Such surrender on
our part would prove us unworthy
children of the fathers of our country.
We should be recreant to every obi
cation of patriotism and religion
should we lie down in the face of
the attack we are now sustaining.
We were slow to recognize the dan
ger. We were short-sighted in our
discernment of the rising tide that
threatens to engulf our institutions.
We did not look afar to see the adj
vancing hordes following the red ban
ner of class hatred. But now there
are signs not to be mistaken, which
point to the awakening of the Ameri-
can conscience. There are signs of
the greatest encouragement that Sec
tartan prejudices have been brushed
aside and that among religious peo-
pie there is definite realization of
their duty in the field of education.
81 recently received from the Ma
tional Secretary of the Presbyterian
National Educational Board, Dr. Coch-
rane, letter in which he urges the
widest distribution of book of mine,
in which the theory of education
have here advanced is strongly set
forth. Within two weeks on the Pa
cific slope conference of Baptist min
listers has spoken out boldly against
the materialistic tendency of our pub
lie educational system. Within few
months Hebrew rabbis in the city of
New York have publicly deplored the
effect upon the moral character of the
Goddess school.
Science Acknowledges God.
''The voice of reason is rising above
the clamor of madness. The leaders
of science have gone beyond Darwin
ism and found in their close scrutiny
of material things suggestion OF
what to them is new truth, but what
to faith is the old unchanging and
Interchangeable eternal truth.
"Only in the schools for which we
pay is the dominant thought material
istic. The students in the labora
tories have been constrained to the
conclusion that world without a
God is impossible.
1T takes some time for popular
thought to follow the leaders OF
science. Our popular educational
science is now where Darwin was
fifty years ago. 1t will take some
years for the leading scientific
thoughts of the hour to get down tc
the lower levels.
Meanwhile there is a generation tt
protect. Meanwhile there are the
minds and souls of little children tc
keep unpolluted. There are those who
would put into the hands of little
children the raging fire of life. There
are those who would fill immature
minds with suggestions that rock ant
shatter minds mature. God in His
providence provides spring for the

A BLOW FOR SEX HYGIENE

1t must have been quite shock
to the sex hygienists Of Chicago
to be told that the federal authori-
ties would not permit the lectures
given to the public school children
by the leading physicians Of that
city to be transmitted through the
mails. The Chicago National
League for Medical Freedom
wanted to mail copies Of these lee
lures to the parents, together with
letters telling them how to give
their children fuller instructions
on this subject.
1t is reasonable to presume that
these lectures by supposedly repu-
table physicians are fair exam
Iple of what may be expected
wherever a course Of sex hygiene
is introduced into the public
school. How edifying and elevat-
ing they must be and how con-
ducive to public morality when
Uncle Sam, who is by no means a
prude, considers them unavailable |!
How disappointed the parents of
those children must be who are
debarred from these delectable
lectures How greatly concerned
they are about the moral welfare
of their children when they allow
them to listen to lectures Of this
kind. Why do they not rise up in
revolt and demand the resigna-
ton Of Mrs. Ellen Flagg Young,
the superintendent Of public
schools, who has foisted such a
course upon the pupils?
There is in this country an in
creasingly large class Of would-be
educators who regard the teach
ing of sex hygiene as the acme of
educational perfection. They
have gone crazy over the POSSIBLE
tiles of this fad which would place
before the immature mind of in
nocent childhood a knowledge of
evil such as the people Of the un-
derworld possess, in the vain hope
that they will be morally strength
ened thereby and trained into vir-
tuous manhood and womanhood.
The schools and colleges which
tolerate the teaching of sex by
giene as part Of the curriculum
are rapidly becoming the chan
nels of a pernicious information
that will ruin the morals of the
rising generation. You cannot
make school children good by
familiarizing them with evil. AS
well try to prevent the mountain
torrent from leaping in fury and
foam from crag to crag, as hope to
beget virtue in the soul Of child
by planting therein the seeds Of
vice. The only way to keep a
child pure and holy is to hold up
before it the ideal Of Christian
modesty taught by the Catholic
Church. Catholic parents should
be deeply grateful for the sane
system of education pursued in
Catholic schools, and should do
all that lies in their power to
thwart the efforts Of those who
would destroy the morals of their
children by making sex hygiene a
substitute for the Gospel of Jesus
Christ.

seventeen centuries too late to lay
any claim to a divine origin.

NECESSITY OF RELIGION IN
EDUCATION.

1--WE do not ask state support for
UNCONVENTIONAL institutions. We do
not ask state encouragement for sec.
tartan instruction by one sect as
against another sect. What we do
ask and what we have a right as
American citizens to ask, is that we
shall not be taxed for an institution
which is inimical to the faith we hold
and destructive of the institutions
which as Americans, we love and re
we're.
I'VE are realizing that to keep our
faith strong in our children and to
keep them in the paths of sanity and
health, both material and spiritual, we
must restore religion to its dominant
place in education

No State Support for sectarian
Schools AS Such.

I'VE realize that in nation denom-
nationally divided as are we, there
can be no state support of any Sec
tartan school, What we ask then is
that the moral part of the education
of our children shall be left to US.
What we ask is that for the service in
the secular instruction which is given
to the coming generation of citizens,
payment shall be made upon the
basis of services rendered. What we
ask is that the state shall not say to
any teacher, Because you believe in
God, because you teach religion that
is divine and authoritative, you shall
not be and you cannot become a part
of the teaching force of your own
country
what we ask is that such moral
instruction as our chosen teachers
may give may not be nullified by the
materialistic education upon which
the state insists and what we right
fully demand as American citizens
loving our flag and firmly resolved to
work out our destiny to the end that
there shall be throughout our land in
dustrial justice, is that the state shall
not force upon the little ones into
whose hand our passing generation
must thrust the unfinished task, a
false teaching destructive of the moral
sense and calamitous to the republic
whose citizens we are.
I'VE cannot surrender the Ameri-
can system of political organization
with all its rich possibilities of de
velopment in the direction of righte-
BUSINESS and justice, with all its pres
ent potentiaIities for the protection of
the weak and the conservation of lib
erty, with all its wonderful blessings.

out by the facts. As the superintendent stated
to the Star Bulletin last week his office has re-
lccived information from various island points
which show that the produce grown in the terri
tory has increased during the past year in some
instances as much as 200 per cent.
Mr. Starrett has always been firm believer
in the ability of Hawaii to raise practically all
Of the market stuff that its population needs.
When he was brought here two years ago from
California, he declared that in climate and soil
Hawaii was well-equipped to raise smallfarm
products of almost every kind. After he'was APP
pointed marketing superintendent, he began a
system of small experimental stations that short
ly began to get results. Already the onion in
dustry has grown from nothing to respectable
size, while the production Of egg plant and 'cu-
cumbers has increased immensely.
Mr. Starrett expresses himself as satisfied
with the prospects for similar or larger growth
during the next year. In this connection he says
"When it becomes known to those engaged in
farming work that it is possible to grow excel
lent produce here, / am certain they will take adj
vantage of the opportunity and use every pos
sible acre for garden truck. 1t is first necessary
for them to learn what particular product will
grow best on their land, and then how it is best
grown. 1t is the purpose of this division to as
sst them
'eThere can be no question but what the prod
uce business here is in it's infancy. But within
two years it is safe to say the entire islands will
be supplied with home grown garden truck
The marketing division of the board of immi-
grafton and labor was started as an experiment.
Apparently it has passed from the experimental
stage. The lesson is plain. There is vast field
for development of small farming and marketing
of garden produce here. There has always been
an Unsuitable demand, which now it is shown can
be filled by those willing to accept somewhat
smaller returns than sugar yields
Uncounted thousands of acres are available
for small farming, under proper supervision and
teaching Clearly there is a big work here for
the territory. Teaching it's teeming popula-
ton the practical, productive side of gardening
is not only splendid activity for an intelligent
government, but opens the door of opportunity to-
the people.
