MONUMENT TO FATHER sERRI
NOW IN COURSE OF coNsTRUc-
TIoN ON THE GROUND OF THE
MISSION FOUNDED BY Him.
WILL BE DEDICATED IN NO.
VEMBER.

A monument is soon to be erected
to the memory of Fra Junipera Ser
ra, first President of the Missions of
California, founder of many of them
and pioneer of civilization in that
state at San Juan Capistrano on
the grounds of the Mission founded
by the venerable Padre Junipero on
November 1, 1776. It will face south,
looking down the old Canine Real
toward San Luis Rey and San Diego.
The monument will consist of a
life-sized group cast in cement, and
resting on a pedestal designed after
one of the mission columns. The
model for the group is now nearing
completion and work on the pedestals
is we'll under way. The sculptor,
John P. Van Rensselaer, of San Fran
cisco, decided to do the modelling at
the Mission itself, and chose the
famous old Comedor as his studio on
the historic spot which one hundred
and thirty-eight years ago was the
scene of Father Serra's work.
In the group as you face it Father
Sierra occupies the central position
He stands with his left arm around
the shoulders of an Indian boy about
ten years of age, and raises his right
in a manner to direct attention to
the cross at his side.
Mr.. Van Resselaer is using as his
guide the authoritative copper engrav
ing of Father Sierra found by the
Rev. Zephyrin Engelhardt, o. F. NJ.
at the College of San Fernando, Mex
leo, the motherhouse whence came
Father Sierra and his companions.
The pedestal, now in course of con
struction, is being erected by resi-
dents of San Juan Gapistrano. TwC
tablets will be placed on the pedestal
The one in front will contain an ap
propriate inscription commemorative
of Father Sierra, and the one at thu
back Of the pedestal will hold fac
simife of Father Serra's entry in ;
book of the time recording his found
ing of the Mission of San Juan Capis
/ trano.
/ The unveiling of the tablets i
planned for the 2O1st anniversary o
the birth of Father Sierra which fall
| on November "a Of this year.

ABBOT OF CALDEY
DOM AELRED CARLYLE, CON.
VERIFIED HEAD OF THE FOR.
MER ANGLICAN COMMUNITY OF
RENEDIcTINEs AT cALDEY, HAS
BEEN ORDAINED A PRIEST AND
WILL SOON BE INSTALLED AS
MITRED ABBOT.

The term of Canonical Novitiate for
the Benedictine Community at Cal
dey, England, received into the Church
last year, is finished. In accordance
with the terms of the Rescript grant
ed by the Holy See to meet the spe-
cial needs of the case, Dom Aeired
Carlyle, the converted Anglican Alb
bot, who was head of the Community,
made his solemn profession of the
Rule of ST. Benedict on June 80, in
the Abbey Church of Maredsous, Bel
gium, received the Holy Order of
Priesthood at the hands of the Bishop
of Namur on July 5, and sang his first
Mass the following day, this ceremony
also taking place at Maredsous. The
generosity of a friend and the kind
invitation of the Abbot of Maredsous
made it possible for eight members
of Caldey to be present at the profes.
sion and ordination.
Dom Aelred returns home on July
81 and will be installed as Abbot oil
Caldey by the Right Rev. John Cuth
bert Hedley, o. S. B., Bishop of Meme
via on August 10; he will receive the
Abbatial Benediction from BishoI
Hedley on October 18.

CATHOLIC PROHIBITION
CONFERENCE
OF CATHOLICS
WHO FAVoR.PRoHIRlTIoN WILL
BE HELD AT NIAGARA FALLS,
N. Y, ON AUGUST +SEVERAL
PRIESTS AND MANY LAYMEN
SIGN THE CALL.

Arrangements have been completed
for a Conference of Catholics in
the United States and Canada, who
are favorable to the Prohibition of
the Liquor Traffic" in the Assembly
Hall of the Cataract House, Niagara
Falls, N Y, on August 4. This meet
ing will be held for the purpose of
shaping movement that will enlist
the active service of Catholic men
and women in the work of passing
laws to eliminate the liquor traffic in
the nation and in the various states.
This is the first organized move on
the part of Catholics who definitely
recognize the prohibition of the LID
nor traffic as the means best suited
for the removal of the evil effects of
liquor drinking. Heretofore the moral
suasion idea predominated. But the
extension of the Prohibition move
ment in the United States and the
active cooperation of so many Catho-
lie citizens in the work makes it
advisable to give the project the bene-

organization or an agreement to hold
other Conferences may follow the
meeting at Niagara Falls. The ses-
sions will be open to all who may
wish to attend. The acting Secre
tary is Mr.. James F. Judge, Dime
Bank Building, Scranton, Pa. Mr.
Judge will give any information that
may be desired respecting the Con
ference to all who request it. No form
al invitation is needed, as the Con
ference is an open one and all will
be equally privileged to participate
The program will be announced later
Great interest is being manifested in
the movement and the Conference
will doubtless be well attended.
The call is signed by large mum
beri of Catholics from different parts

PROGRESS IN LATIN AMERICA
SOUTH AMERICAN REPUBLICS
LEAD IN EDUCATION AND Gull
TURE - RAILROAD BUILDING
AND COMMERCE-AN INSPIRING
RECORD.

AS the trouble in Mexico progresses
some of the newspapers keep insist
ing that the Mexicans and "the other
Latin races of South America" are
hopelessly behind the rest of the
world in enlightenment. The Mexi-
cans are not Latins. They are, three
quarters of them, Indians. Neverthe-
less, Mexico isn't SO hopelessly back
ward as certain interested writer's in
sist. And as for Latin America the
record is good one.
Francisco ]. Yanes of the Pan-Amer-
lean Union recalls in the Journal of
Race Development" that the first uni
versity in the New World was that
of Santo Tomas de Aquino at Santo
Domingo, in 1888, no longer in exist
ence. That of San Marcos at Lima,
Peru, was founded in 1851; the Uni
versity of Mexico, established in 1853
and refounded in 1910; Cordoba, Ar
gentina, 1892; Sucre, Bolivia, 1923;
Cuzco, Peru, 1892; Caracas, Venezuela,
1921; Havana, Cuba, 1928; Santiago,
Chill, 1743, and Quito, Ecuador, 1887.
Humboldt found the scientific equip
ment of Mexico University the finest
| in the New World. In the United
States, Harvard was founded in 1886,
| the sixth on this continent and the
fifth of those now existing; Yale,
! 17O1; Columbia in 1854. All the Lat
in-American countries maintain schol-
arships for study abroad. Such schol-
arships in the United States number
more than 1850.
Latin-American theaters are unsur-
passed. Opera is given in most of
the capitals in excellent style. The
press is brilliant and in the larger cit
les enterprising. La Prensa of Buenos
Ayres has a model newspaper plant.
Latin America led the continent in
the installation of printing-in Mexi-
co, 1536-and the first book printed
was one by Father Las Casas. Carta-
gena, Colombia, is said to have been
the second city of America to have
/ printing press, in 1850 or 1862, but
Peru seems to hold the record for the
first book printed in South America
about 1884. La Paz, Bolivia, had a
printing establishment about 1910
The first work in Bogota was printed
about 1889, Ecuador in 1860, Venezu
ella in 1854, Chill in 1776.
/ Railroad building in Latin America
is held back by sparse population, bJ
the impossibility of crossing the An
; dean wall at most points and by tht
cheapness of river freighting. How
ever, there are $4,000 miles of Latin
: American railways, against 207,432 II
Europe and 241, ,199 in the United
States. Argentina has 10000 miles
: and Mexico 10000 miles, against "a,
725 miles in Canada and 37,495 in Ger
: many.
Latin-American commerce is $2,811,
100000, chiefly raw materials. Thii
8 is surpassed by the single nations
