Representative KorbIy Speaks
of Currency Act at Ami
versary Banquet.

NO. 1, oUi, with the ldulcs VI
the families, enjoyed several hours
around the banquet table and with
dancing afterward at the English
Banquet Hall, corner of Main and
Walnut streets, East Orange, last
night, in celebration of the second an
niversary.
Visiting brethren, including Con-
gresham Charles A Korbly Of Indi-
ana, added their presence and speech
to the enjoyableness of the hour. Mr..
Korbly, who was one of the repre-
sentatives assisting President Wilson
to push the currency bill through Con-
gress, spoke on THE New Federal Re-
serve Act" In a brief review, the
measure, he declared, had removed
every obstacle in the way of sound
banking and gave an elasticity to the
currency and even an elasticity TO the
reserve.
1t is now possible, said the congress-
man, to have money on hand at all
times, to meet every emergency, and
not only at certain times of the year,
as was the custom formerly.

panic of 1907 was now practically i'm
possible that all obsolete laws re-
lating to the currency had been
cleared off the statute books by the
adoption of the new act, and that the
country would surely profit by the
new arrangement.
Lands Psrochial Schools.
Responding to the toast, THE Con-
corn of ALL" Rev. Bernard M.
Rogan, of Plainfield, spoke chiefly of
the educational work being done by
the church in the parochiaI schools.
In Plainfield, he said, children OF the
eighth grade are taken into the High
School of the public school system,
and he asked why it was that the pa
rochial school received so little recog-
milton in the distribution of money
from the State treasury Washington,
he said, had mentioned with empha-
sis in his farewell address that relig-
ion and education were necessary for
the well-being of the nation. The
Catholic Church, he said, was carry
ing that truth out in practise.
knights of Columbus, said the
speaker, stood for patriotism and he
paid fine tribute to the order and
particularly to the East Orange
Council.
Edward M. Tierney, of Bingham
ton, president of the Hotel Mems As
ISOLATION, gave a humorous address
on THE World Around U.s." speaking
of the various elements that go to
make UP happiness and congratulated
the knights on the innovation in
having the ladies present
Describes Ideal Home.
Rev. Edward M. Farrell, as
sistant rector of the Church of Our
Lady Help of Christians, who had for
his subject THE Knights of Column
bus and Education" said that edu-
cation began and ended in the home
the ideal home being the one at
Nazareth, where the Christ child was
born, and where Joseph was the ideal
husband. Luxury, ease and wealth
will never make home. said the
clergyman. it being only where the
spirit of the child of Nazareth dwells.
Father Farrell said that too often
the professional woman or the one
who takes part in the things outside
of her home to its neglect, leaves
children in the care of the nurse, the
latter securing more affection from
the child than the parent. He said
that he did not care to express an
opinion one way or the other on the
question of woman suffrage, but he
thought that eventually the women
will be in possession of the franchise
He feared, however, that when the
question came to a crisis, she will
fall from her dignity and that there
was danger that sight would be lost
of the spirit of Nazarath.
Give us the best schools that can
be built, public ar parochial," said
Father Farrell, land equip them with
every known apparatus. If educa-
ton does not begin at home, 1t is
worthless. Therefore the thought l
ask you to take home with you to-
night is the education of the child
at home, first and last As the gener-
atoms go on the Spirit of Nazareth
will spread to other homes till time
is no more"
American Citizenship" gave Ed
ward l.. Hearn, past supreme knight,
an opportunity to make a patriotic
address. He spoke of the excellent
work the Knights of Columbus is
doing in making for good citizenship
and eulogized c. p Connolly, member
he did in the early days of organi-
cation of the order.

MCKINLEY, supreme secretary, re-
