 As a personal compliment to Mr. Corbett, the Sandy Hook band volun- teered their services, and in a whole hearted outburst of music and pro- longed cheers of the crowd, the guest found himself on a temporarily arrang- ed platform with decorations of laurel, flags, bunting and flowers in an en- closure of Japanese lanterns and sur rounded by his friends MT. Clark made short speech of introduction and congratu1ation to which MT. Cor bett responded. The nature of his re- marks proved how deeply he was touched by the demonstration and loyalty fond of Sandy Hook school he has always been.
 Miss May Egan, a graduate of St. Elizabeth'e College, Convent Station. N. J., and a former pupil of Mr. Cor bett's spoke Of her own and friends experiences as such, and while giving the greatest pleasure to her listeners, paid tribute to the hundreds of solid educational foundations laid by the Sandy Hook principal.

them patriotism, loyalty, and respect for authority. Where is respect for authority better exemplifed than in the Roman Catholic church? Where lat the present time than right here in this own republic of ours?'
 Addressing the members of the grad ua ting /class he concluded by saying, TT hope that your future will bear witness to the words spoken here to- night and prove beyond the shadow of a doubt that the Catholic church is right in teaching religion as well as the practical educational subjects in it's schools Knowledge and virtue must go always hand in hand. Keep that always before your eyes if you wish to become loyal and faithful citi- zens of the United States and true followers of God and your Church.

xurnents sustaining the doctrine of the Church in the matter of continuing to look after the religious education of her children
 T have profted by my years of ex- perience in educational york; said the speaker, 's and I realize that it is just as necessary for Gtne child to re- ceive religious education as it is for him to receive an intellectual train ing. In fact I think the religious training even more valuable than the eother.
 'sThe maintenance of the Church de- pends upon the education which it's members have received as children. AS the boy is, so is the man. If the children are not trained early in the mystefies of their religion they will not grow up to be religious, God-fear- education of the child must be receiv- ed either in the home. the Sunday school or the day school.
 '"The little ones, except in excep- tfonaI cases, do not receive the prop CT religious instruction in the home. The parents do not have the time, or more often they are not so equipped that they can give the children the proper religious instruction. The chill dren certainly do not learn enough about their religion in the half or three quarters of an hour which they spend 0unQay SCHOOL once d NVS0h, so there remains only the one place in which to get this Knowledge of re- .1igion, and that place is in the day school.''
 Father Mu1cahy told of how we'll known educators, non-Catho1ics az well as Catholics. are realizing the great value of teaching religion in the schools. He read an article from the New England Journal of Educa- tion," a non-Catholic organ, which strongly advocated teaching religion in all the public schools of the coun- try as we'll as in the parochia1 schools. He told of how such men as George Washington and Daniel Webster time and again spoke in favor of developing the religious and moral side, as well as the intellectual side of the chHd's education.
 He said that the answer to the Ques- tion of the Protestant ministers, t'W'hy do not people attend ,church?'' is to be found in the fact that they as young children have not been trained to recognize their God. There are no empty pews in the Caho1ic churches where religion has been taught the little children from the first day they entered school he said.
 f"The remedy for anarchy and So- -cialism,'' said Father 1fulcahy, ''is to be found in religious education We must educate the children in things religious as well as in things intel lectua1 if we wish to inculeate in

COulOn Meets Burns
At KenOsha Tonight

KENOSHA, WIS, June ga
Johnny Coulon, bantamweight cham
pion Of the world, and Frankie
Burns, the Jersey City bantam, are
on the edge for their scheduled
ten-round battle here tonight.
Much interest is being displayed in
the affair, 8 this is to be the fourth
meeting between the pair Ever
since Johnny was given a hair-line
decision over Burns at New Orleans
in twenty rounds on February Is,
1912, there has been a great deal of
rivalry between the boys.
The other bouts between the ban
tams were no decision affairs and
critics usually agreed that they were
about even up. AS this will be Cou-
Ions really first tough scrap in over
year fans are anXiously awaiting
the outcome. Johnny is billed to
meet Kid Williams in a twenty-round
go on July 20 and his showing to-
night will have much to do in the
way the fans bet their money in the
title set-tO. CoulOn rules a 10 to 8
favorite over the Jersey City boy.

Riders VIII Dress in Asbestos
Freproof Toys for 'Dromers

TINE riders out at the local Motor
drome lie awake nights trying
to think of something they can
put over on somebody else. They are
always getting something new with
this end in view. For instance, Nor
ty Graves has sent off for a new mo-
torcycle, Georges Renel has bought a
lot of new parts for his motorcycle,
Manager Moor Hudson has another
suit of clothes, Harry Swartz has Il
new wife and Jack Prince always
has a fresh shower up his sleeve that
he let's out on race nights.
But 1t has remained for George
Lockner to spring the newest thing
an asbestos suit of clothes He has
wired to St Louis for one and expects
it here in time for use at Wednesday
nights races.
These asbestos suits were intro
duced by a St Louis rider, Brownie
Carslake, and are being rapidly
adopted by the other riders
When They Are Needed.
In motordrome racing there are
two reasons why asbestos suits are
needed.
One reason is that the blooming
motorcycles. fed enormous quantities
Of gasoline and splitting fire like an
old time dragon, are constantly
catching on fire. Naturally, this
would be bad enough under Ord!-
nary circumstances. but the awful
complication arises from the fact that
they usually touch themselves off
while going at very high speed the
machines are not supplied with
brakes and the rider must always
choose between sticking on and get
ting his clothes on fire or falling off
and breaking his neck. Harry Lewis.
one of the riders at the local Motor
drome, caught on fire the afternoon
of the opening meet, and only the
presence of the riders and a battery
Of fire extinguishers made It possible
to put him out. With an asbestos
suit this danger is removed. \ man
