INFECTIONS AND THEIR PRE-
VENTION.

Shop Bulletin No S, of the Indus
trial Commission of Wisconsin,
treats of a matter which because of
its seemingly unimportance is usual
ly overlooked. Infections, at the be-
ginning. are small matters, but the
results thereof, are often disastrous.
OF the total number of accidents
reported from September 1, 1911 to
September 1. 1913, 721, or 4S per
cent. resulted in infection of the in
jured members. The accidents them
selves were. with few exceptions,
trivial and would have resulted in
but few days disability each If
properly treated. AS it was over
1850 working days were lost, or an
average of II days per case. In S
cases the injuries became so serious
that the patient died. In 4 other
cases the injured members had to be
amputated to save the patients life.
It is established that the compen-
sation and medical aid in these 721
cases. under the present law, would
cost employers about $40. 1000. From
a recent report of the Rochester
Chamber of Commerce it has been
computed that insurance companies
have paid an indemnity for 1895
accidents, resulting in infections, an
average of 81.S4 per case, as COM
pared with an average payment of
1882 per case in 29.726 travel acct
dents. This class Of accidents is
usually considered very serious and
yet the average was less than for
cases resulting in infection. The
serious results of infection warrant
all remedial care, especially since its
prevention is easy and inexpensive.

RELIGION IN THE SCHOOL

very important branch Of knowledge
is passed over and neglected alto
gether. There is no escape from the
dilemma-from one of these neces-
sary conclusions. Either we must
openly avow that little or nothing
can be known of God, or else we
must admit that our common school
system great and fundamental
branch of knowledge is omitted.
One of the basic principles of our
common school is that it should
teach our young people all the neces-
sary truths that will fit them for life.
II then in our school system we find
that nothing at all is taught regard
ing the Supreme Being, or his exist
ence, or our manifold relations to-
ward Him. or how and when we must
deal with Him, it is equivalent to
stating that those who are RESPONSE
BILE for our system of popular educa-
ton wish US to infer that little or
nothing can be known about Al
mighty God. or else such informa-
ton as we have regarding Him is of
so little moment that its acquisition
would amount to no great addition
to our stock of knowledge.
Once we admit the existence of
God, we are in the presence of a
truth SO great and so absorbing that
it enters into every other possible
element of knowledge of which the
human mind is capable. Religious
doctrine is knowledge in as full and
complete sense as is the law of gravi-
tation. Christian doctrine has at
least as much right to find a place
in the instruction given in our
schools as has physiology, or botany,
or mathematics.
Truth is one vast whole. In Or
der to possess truth, it is necessary
to have the whole truth. No one
branch of knowledge, nor two of
them, and not all secular knowl-
edge taken together is the sum total
and the entire body of truth. Divine
Revelation comes in for large and
an important share in the whole
cycle of truth. If religious doctrine
is omitted, then void is created. No
science can be dropped from the
circle of truth without interrupting
its unity. and destroying its perfec-
ton. The place cannot be kept va
cant for that science, for other
branches Of knowledge speedily be-
gin to encroach upon its domain,
they close in upon it, they exceed
their bounds, and they begin to in
trude where they have no right, and
hence it is that secular studies be-
gin to trespass upon territory not
their own, and they undertake to
settle and determine problems for
which they have no instruments to
solve.-Rev. Thomas F. Coakley, in

from the Ages Of Faith; they are
communities Of immortal souls bent
upon salvation. There is ring of
assurance about Catholic voices; an
air of confidence about Catholic
movements; swift, punctual, con-
scientious and Efficient atmosphere
about Catholic activities; a swing
and energy about Catholic life, that
promise we'll indeed for the future
of the Church in this land. Cath
olicism already has won its place in
American life. and holds it in such
fashion as to augur magnifcently for
the increase of it's influence in the
future. Such an organization alone
as that of the Knights of Columbus
is security enough"

TWO IMPORTANT CONFERENCES
AT THE CONVENTION OF
THE A. f. OF @. 8.

Conference of Catholic Fraternal So
cieties.
Delegates from the leading Catho-
lie Fraternal Insurance Societies will
meet in Baltimore, September %,
1914 at the time of the convention
of the American Federation of Cath
Ollie Societies. The aim of the con-
ference, as specified in the call issued
by the Social Service Commission is
to bring together the Catholic Fra
ternals for the discussion of the
need of widening the scope of in
surance benefits and offer remedial
suggestions in the administrative
and technical conduct of insurance
as business undertaking.
The following tentative program
has been adopted.
1. Fraternal Life Insurance for
Children.
2. The competition between Fra
ternal and Old Line Insurance.
3. The REIMBURSEMENT of Frater-
nal rates.
4. Legislation and Fraternal In
surance.
s. The Church and Fraternal In
surance.
6. The true prosperity of Catho-
lie Fraternal Insurance Societies.
z. The Parish and the Catholic
Fraternal Courts.
8. Catholics and non-Catholic
Fraternal Societies.
Catholic Social Reform Conference.
The social reform movement in the
United States is characterized by a
large number of associations and
leagues devoting much time and
money in the interest of some social
improvement or betterment. The
Catholic church, too, is in the van
guard; under its guiding banner. So
cial service commissions of varying
characters and objects exist in all
parts of the country. De-.
Some of these movements are
large; some small. Some approach
the social problem from one point of
view; others from quite a different
angle. Each has, one particular in
terest that it can promote better than
others. Therefore. to spread the
works Of the individual movements,
and to impart their experiences to
the others. delegates representing

are found to be solidely united with
common aim in view. nothing can
arrest their onward to industrial or
ganization. Too often in the past
men have lost sight of the great
principles that underlie the working
class movement, and the name of an
organization or a party becomes
more important than the cause for
which they stand"
The Industrial Banner" although
endorsed by Ontario Labor, Educa-
tional and Toronto Trades and La
Dor Council" is the organ of the So
cialist party Of Ontario. The same
issue containing the above editorial
devotes a large share of its columns
to the candidacy of cial-Democrat-
ic nominees; it presents an adverse
criticism of the address of Peter w.
Collins, and heralded address of Rev.
DR.. Carr, general secretary of the
Christian Socialist Fellowship of
North America; in short. it is the
Socialist paper of Ontario masquer-
aiding in the quise of labor interests.
How we'll may the editorial apply to
the case of its own paper. for in it
all sight has been lost of the great
principles that underlie the working
class movement, and the name of an
organization or a party (Socialist) {,
becomes more important than the
cause (of labor) for which it stands.

The motto Of every loyal American

The motto of every loyal American
should be For God and Our Coun-
try Patriotism should rank so
high in the scale of virtues that our
loyalty to our country would come
next after our loyalty to God: There
is no question of our protestations
of loyalty to the flag. We are con-
tinually talking about it. and we
seek by every known means to in
still the elements of an enlightened
love of country into our growing
school population. But patriotism
supposes character, and virtuous
character. How can there be real
patriotism without real virtuous men
and women, and men and women are
only grown boys and girls? A
staunch, robust, sterling. self-sacri-
ficing moral character is the only
sound basis for genuine love of coun-
try, and no man can be loyal to his
country who is disloyal to his God,
through whom kings reign and law
givers decree just things. How can
a person have a genuine love for his
country who cares not for his own
immortal soul? Patriotism without a
virtuous moral character, therefore,
Is almost a contradiction in terms.
The elimination of the supernatur-
al element from education has re-
suited in strong emphasis being
laid upon the things of earth. The
trend of modern education is strong
ly materialistic; it seems at times as
if we had given up the idea of MAX
ing noble. pure, virtuous men and
women, SO anxious have we been to
dazzle our boys and girls by telling
them that education would enable
them to attain wealth and ease and
luxury and prominence, and procure
for them an abundance of the good
things of life.
We lay entirely too much stress to-
day upon the material, worldly sue
cess. We teach our young people to
look upon the world, not as a field
for the exercise of virtue and true
nobility of character, not as a place
which calls loudly for moral upright
ness, and for high and generous
natures, but as a race-course, with
well-filled purses hanging at the goal
for the lucky prize winners. We
have sacrificed the training of the
higher faculties to mere money max
ing. We are hankering after the
flesh pots of Egypt. and selling our
eternal birthright for a mess of pot
tage.
If our elementary school system
makes no provision for teaching re-
ligious knowledge, one of two con-
illusions is inevitable-either we
must confess that the province of
religion is barren of any real knowl-
edge, or else in our school system one

IRISH LEGENDS.

and Ordinances of the Privy Council

describes a highly interesting docu-
ment illustrative of the history of
Ireland at the beginning of the if
teenth century," which is one of sew
eral articles" introduced at the end
Of the Council Book of the reign,
Henry Nv. His description is as fol-
lows:
ut appears to be the fragment of
a petition embodying the complaints
Of the Commons of Ireland, accom-
panied by notes explanatory or cor
roborative of the several statements,
and giving instances of the griev-
ances complained of. The date of
the document is not known; and,
though it might be inferred from
some part that it was drawn up in the
time of Richard H., the manner in
which that monarch is mentioned
renders it very improbable that he
was then the reigning sovereign; it
is therefore placed among the arti-
cles Of the time Of his successor.
1.-THE Commons stated. that when
the whole of ireland was possessed
by the English and in good condi-
ton. the people were governed by the
Kings Courts of Law; that is to say,
the Chancery. the Kings Bench. the
Common Bench, and the Exchequer,
having their several jurisdictions &C
cording to the laws of England; and
that the ancient customs and usages
Of the land were properly observed;
but that now great part Of the coun-
try was devastated and destroyed by
enemies and rebels; and that in con-
sequence Of there being so many COM
missioners Of Oyer and Terminer,
some of whom were persons learned
in the law, whilst others were ig-
norant thereof, all pleas were tried
before them, as we'll those belong
ing to the Common Law Courts as
to the Court of Chancery, to the SER
ious injury of the said courts, the
subversion Of the law. and against
the ancient usages of the land. The
people were, 1t is said, daily harassed
and distressed by the commissioners,
particularly in the Counties of Dub
lin, Meath, Kildare, and Louth;
they were impoverished by sum-
monses and distresses; husbandry
was neglected, and tenants were IN
able to pay the rents and dues to
their lords; many good towns and
hamlets were ruined; several loyal
persons. as we'll great lords and 9TH
er gentles, and commoners, were so
frequently indicted before the Com
missioners by irresponsible individu-
ais. not Inhabitants of the counties
where the indictment occurred, that
no one knew whether he was indict-
ed or not, or whether he had OF had
not been outlawed; hence they were
often annoyed and compelled to in
cur great expense In law proceedings
for their security. In numerous
cases the lands Of the lords and 9TH
ers were 80 suddenly and sacretly
seized into the Kings hands by the
commissioners that none knew
whether he was indicted or not, or
whether he had or had not been out
lawed: hence they were often an
noyed and compelled to incur great
expense in law proceedings for their
security. Lands were sometimes
kept until three or four days
after the rent became payable.

by accepting money for realizing
their seizures from some persons,
they caused great oppression to 9TH
ers. This is said to have happened
to the Abb OF of Mellifont, to Sir John
Belyng, and to a hundred other per-
sons who did not complain because
there was no remedy.
Memoranda on the back of this
paper stated that in the message sent
by the Earl of Ormond, and in all
letters from him rejecting that mes
sage, to the Kings brothers, and to
the Council, and to the Earl of
March, it is stated that the presence
of the King was greatly desired in
