NEW MOTU PROPRIO
PREscRIBES THE "sUMMA" AS
TEXTBOOK IN ITALIAN SEM
INARIES-MAY BE EXTENDED
TO ALL COUNTRIES.

On July 4, the Osservatore Romano
published papal "Motu Proprio' on
the teaching of theology and phil
osophy, prescribing that all teachers OF
these subjects at universities, colleges,
and seminaries must adopt for their
principal text book the "Summa Theo-
logiae" of ST. Thomas Aquinas. The
privilege of granting academical and
theological degrees enjoyed by the
Institutes and faculties attached to all
teaching Institutes granting degrees
will be revoked unless these instruc
tions are carried out within the next
three years, though certain commen
taries specially stated in the decree
are allowable as text books in pre-
paratory teaching Institutes. Though
this degree is, for the time being
applicable only to Italy, the Pope
strongly desires all the Catholic
teaching world to observe the prin
ciples of the "motu proprio' which
may be extended to every country
in the near future.

HIGH SCHOOL CORNERSTONE Laid

Watcher, st. Augusta; Reverend Jo-
seph Willenbrink, Princeton, and Rev
erend Vincent Wotzka, St. Cloud.
After the ceremony, the ladies of the
parish gave a successful ice cream
social on the Cathedral lawn.
Owing to the rapid increase of
pupils, the need of an additional
school building has been a long-felt
want. During the past year 675 chill
dren attended the parish school, with
an enrolment of IS pupils from the
parish in the High School. Ways and
means for the erection of new build
ing for the boys of the advanced
grades and High School were proposed
by Reverend DR.. Cans at a public
meeting of the parishioners on Sun
day, February 1. The project was
enthusiastically received and it was
unanimously decided to begin build
ing operations as soon as weather con-
ditions would permit. The following
building committee was selected:
Messrs. Christ. Schmidt, G. F. Ladner,
J. B. Rosenberger, George Refs and
A. A. Eich Ground was broken for
the new structure during the last
week in. May and so rapid has been
the progress of the work that the
cornerstone laying was made possible
at this early date. 1t is expected that
the formal dedication will take place
late in the fall.
The building was designed by Arch
tect E. J. Donohue of St. Paul and will
cost approximately $4,000 when COM
pleted. 1t will consist of the main
building, having twelve commodious
class rooms with club rooms in the
basement and spacious auditorium
annexed The dimensions of the main
building will be 120 feet in length,
with a width of 81 feet; and those of
the auditorium are 100 feet in length
and so feet in width. 1t will be fur
nished and equipped with the latest
improvements and will be of fire proof
construction. The new school will
add much to the architectural beauty
of the city and will be second to none
of the similar institutions of the
Northwest.

THE UNEMPLOYED AND THE CHURCHES

tence from the words of Mr.. Devine
is: eff, however, they (the applicants
for relief are not mistaken about
the fact (that their need is genuine), /,
and have come to an appropriate
place to ask for it, nothing should
be taken for granted except the need
which is revealed by the application" !"
But DR.. Holmes thinks that this state
ment authorizes his own assertion
that "the churches had no right to
assume anything as true except the
need for aid expressed by the applica-
ton. :"
Mr.. Devine speaks of the need that
is revealed" DR.. Holmes makes it
the need that is expressed" In
other words, he would have the
churches accept as true the represen-
tations made by the applicants them
selves, and forthwith assume that the
alleged need is genuine. l do not be-
lieve that the most unreasoning enc
my of scientific charity has ever made
such a sweeping statement in favor of
indiscriminate giving. Among profes-
sional "panhandlers" the clergy have
the reputation of being the easiest
marks" to be found anywhere. DR..
Holmes would have them set still
higher standard of childlike faith and
credulity.
In the particular case that we are
discussing, the expressed" and al
legged need was not genuine, and ii
was put forth in notoriously bad
faith. Tannenbaum and his followers
could have obtained from the munic
ipal lodging houses better sleeping ac
commodations than are within the
gift of churches, softer beds than the
pews of churches. One of the con
ditions laid down by Mr.. Devine ir
the passage quoted by DR.. Holmes is
that the applicants for relief shoulG
come to IAN appropriate place."
church is decidedly not the appropri
ate place for five hundred men tc
sleep, when they can get better quar-
ters elsewhere. And it would be de
| cidedly unreasonable to suppose tha
any church in ordinary circumstance!
should pay for the lodging of tha
many men at hotel, so long as tn,
city is discharging it's responsibilit!
in the situation.
DR.. Holmes reproves the attitude o
one hundred and eighty out of tw,
hundred ministers who based thei
opposition to the I. w. w. perform
ances on the ground that the men wer
organized, and demanded instead o
requesting assistance.
i No Real Distress.
) OF course, the mere fact that th
applicants came in large and unite
group would not have been a suficien
reason for turning them away. o
: the other hand, DR.. Holmes attemr
to find a parallel between refuss
for such a reason and the refusal {
some employers to recognize Iabc
organizations, is arbitrary, futile, an
far-fetched. Possibly the first groun
. !. of refusal given by the ministers
really reducible to the second. Po
sibly they all meant that they woul
not respond favorably to demand
9 and threats, when the proprieties I
/ the situation required respectful r
t quest. Undoubtedly they were right
: What good to society or to the a
S plicants themselves could come fro

On Friday afternoon, July 10, at the
close of the first retreat for the Sis
ters of st. Benedict affiliated with the
Motherhouse at st. Joseph, Mimi,
thirty-five postulants were received
into the community. The Right Rev.
erend James Trobec, Administrator of
the Diocese of st. Cloud, officiated at
the ceremony, and the Rev. Francis
Mershmann, o. S. B., of st. Johns
University, Collie geville, Mimi,
preached the sermon. About thirty
priests assisted at the ceremony.
Added interest was given to the sa-
cred function by the fact that it
was the first time that religious GER
emony of this kind had taken place in
the magnificent new chapel of the
Motherhouse which was completed
few months ago and which is, un-
doubtedly, the finest of it's kind in the
Northwest and one of the most beau
tiful in the country. On this occasion
it was filled to it's capacity with the
600 relatives and friends of the pos
tulants and novices who took part in
the interesting event.
The following are the names of the
postulants who received the habit of
the Sisterhood of st. Benedict and the
names by which they will henceforth
be known in religion: Mary Hilger,

A notable event in the history of the
Cathedral parish, ST. Cloud, Mimi,
took place on the afternoon of Sunday,
July II, when the cornerstone of the
new Cathedral High School for boys
was laid. Immediately following the
Vesper service, the Right Reverend
Bishop Trobec preceded by the altar
boys and accompanied by the clergy,
went in procession to the site where
the new building is under construc-
tion, where he blessed the cornerstone,
after which it was placed in position.
Then the Reverend James M. Reardon,
editor of The Catholic Bulletin of st.
Paul, delivered an address in which
he showed the necessity of a thorough
and advanced Christian training for
Catholic youth. Short addresses were
given by the Right Reverend Bishop
Trobec and Reverend DR.. Leo Cans,
pastor of the Cathedral. The Right
Reverend Bishop stated that he hoped
to be present at the dedication cere-
monies of the new school when it is
completed. Father Cans gave express
sion to his feelings of gratitude for
the generous cooperation shown by
the parishioners. The massive, gran
ite cornerstone is a donation from
Hon. John Zapp.
The entire floor of the main building
was thronged with members of the
parish and visitors who are interested
in the school. The names of the cler
gymen who were present at the cere
mony are as follows: Reverend DR.
Leo Cans, the pastor; Reverend John

The Survey of April 25th contains
a somewhat remarkable argument on
this topic from the pen of the Rev.
John Haynes Holmes. 1 should like
to examine it from a different point
of view.
DR.. Holmes intimates that Tannen-
baum performed a useful service, in
asmuch as his invasion of the church
es has forced ninety million persons
to think hard about the problem of
unemployment.
Does mere thinking about a prob
lem necessarily promote it's solution?
Suppose that the forces which have
aroused the thinking convey false
impressions, and suggest wrong con-
clusions. A prominent New York
Socialist declared few weeks ago
Tin a letter to the Milwaukee LEADER
that all the educative and construc-
tive efforts of his comrades in that
city with regard to the unemployment
problem had been neutraliZed by the
performances of Tannenbaum and
associates. The excesses of the lat
ter had provoked very many persons
to the conclusion that the majority
of the unemployed were mere trouble
makers and anarchists. 1t is scarce
ly to be doubted that more public
sympathy has been alienated than at
tracted. The hard thinking" evoked
by Tannenbaum's conduct has appar
emily received wrong and anti-socia,
direction.
DR.. Holmes maintains that the
churches should be the refuge of al
those who find or even think them
selves in distress.
The churches always have taker
this position. 1t is safe to say tha
on the very night when Tannen
baum's army invaded st. Alphon
sus's, more than an equal number o
men were sheltered at the expense o
the churches of New York. Tn
question is not whether the ehurche
may properly be called upon to re
lieve this particular form of distress
but whether they may reasonabl
be required to answer favorably "a
appeal for assistance in the particula
circumstances surrounding the l. "
w. invasion.
lndiscriminate Giving.
DIR. Holmes thinks that the churche
should have so responded. He base
his opinion on the words of Christ
"Give to him that asketh of thee;
and on quotation from the writing
of. Edward T. Devine.
Surely these words of Christ ar
not to be understood without qual
fication If they are, they mean ths
the professional idler must not be r
jected when he demands continuor
support from the hard working fatht
of a family. Evidently Christ had
mind the genuinely needy, not il
posters.

THE CHURCH IN THE EXERCISE
i oF-HER MINIsTF7Y-MAKEs IS
PROVISION FOR THE ESTAB-
LISHMENT OF A HIERARCHY
PROVIDES FOR CATHOLIC EDU-
CATloN-A TRIUMPH FOR THE
CHURCH.

A notable success was achieved in
establishing harmonious relations be-
tween the Holy See and Seryia when,
on June %, Concordat was signed
by His Eminence Cardinal Merry del
Val, Secretary of State, on behalf of
the Sovereign Pontiff, and DR.. Vesnich
acting as plenipotentiary for King
Peter of Servia.
This Concordat, composed of TWEEN
tysiX articles, provides for the free
dom of the Church in Servia. 1t estab-
fishes an ecclesiastical Province whose
Metropolitan will reside at Belgrade
and have for suffragan the Bishop of
Uskub, both of whom, in the exercise
of their spiritual jurisdiction, will
depend directly and exclusively on the
Holy See. They will be unhampered
in the exercise of all the rights and
prerogatives of their ministry in
accordance with the approved dis
cipline of the Church The Catholic
clergy will depend exclusively on
them in the performance of their
sacred functions. Furthermore, the
nomination of Bishops to fill vacant
Sees is left to the Holy See with the
proviso that, before an appointment is
made, steps be taken to ascertain If
| the candidate be acceptable to the
| Servian authorities. The same rule
will be followed by the Bishops in the
appointment of pastors to vacant
parishes.
This document also provides that
religious teaching in the schools will
be under the direction of the Bishops
| in their respective dioceses. 1t will
| be given in the state schools by
catechists acceptable to the Bishop
and to the Minister of Public Instruc
ton. Priests are permitted to act IN
| this capacity if necessary.
1 The Servian Government also recog
nizes the validity of Catholic mar
riages and of mixed marriages con
tracted before a Catholic priest accord
j ing to the laws of the Church. Al
marriage cases that do not involve
civil rights will be brought before
ecclesiastical tribunals.
| The Servian Government recognizes
the right of the Church to hold ant
administer property, provides for tn
support of the Bishops and clergy a.
well as for the maintenance of ;
seminary for the education of aspil
ants for the priesthood.
This Concordat is, without doubt, |
notable triumph for the Church whicl
Servia has heretofore refused t
, recognize. For long time the onl
: priests in Servia were two chaplain
{ of the Austrian Legation. Thing
I changed somewhat as result of tn
| late war when there was added t
: Servia territory which containe
: several thousands of Catholics unde
: the protectorate which Austria exc
: cised over the Catholics in the Balka
: States. Servia's recognition of th
f Church does away with this prote'
e torate on the part of Austria an
: guarantees full and absolute liberty
q the Church in the exercise of he
/ spiritual rights and to all Catholics
e the performance of their religion
duties.
