those most concerned in it; the move
ment, they say, has thrown up no
great writer's, no masters of thought.
Nothing could be more true, if it be
meant that such men have mot taken
charge or lent their force to acceler-
ate the movement. But they are car
rfed in the drift. 1t is oceanic, and
none can escape it's influence. Even
those who stem the tide are affected
by it; their course is combination of
it's onward sweep and their own
proper motion.
We are content. For in the force
directing the mass we recognize the
hand of God. We are, therefore, not
much troubled about superficial or To-
cal disturbances, edd1es and backWa.
tiers. Individual influences may cause
these, and they may appear to indi-
viduaI observers vastly important. The
deep drift goes on. It's true character
and it's direction are being recognized
1t is bearing the Church of England
onwards-not a mere party in the
Church or groups of individuals, but
the whole Church, and even the most
reluctant members of the Church-to
wards the full enjoyment of those
Catholic beliefs and practices which
the Church of Rome, for all it's faults
or errors, has never lost In that
sense we have no objection to saying
that the movement is Romeward. And
it is a drift, massive movement in
dependent of human Wills.

GOOD FRIDAY OBSERVANCE

The reverent observance of
Good Friday has been a marked
feature of the civic as we'll as
of the religious life of San Fran
cisco for several years. Next
Good Friday will be more rever-
emily and more generally observed
than ever before by all classes and
creeds.
The city of San Francisco itself
will take official cognizance of the
day through Mayor Rolf who will
issue a proclamation asking the
business men to close their places
of business from twelve o'clock,
noon, to three o'clock in order to
allow their Catholic employees,
and all others who may wish to
take advantage of the oppor-
tunity, to attend devotions in
honor Of the Passion.
A special effort will be made to
bring about a general cessation OF
business during this time, and
special emphasis is being placed
upon the necessity of Catholics
refraining from all shopping from
twelve to three o'clock on Coco
Friday. The business houses
which do not, or cannot close en-
tirely, will be asked to allow theil
Catholic employees to attend serv
ices in relays, if necessary, wher
ever the simultaneous absence Of
all would interfere with the firm :
business.
The movement has been taker
up with enthusiasm in Sacramen
to where many non-Catholic cler
gymen have interested themselves
in it's success.
The idea of holding a specia
three-hour public service in honor
Of the passion and death Of Chris
is an admirable one, and it is tt
be hoped that the movement fol
more reverent observance o.
Good Friday which was inaugu
rated in San Francisco a few
years ago, will spread to othel
cities and take on the nature Of
a civic event.

A Massachusetts, city has had
the first great excitement over the
teaching Of sex hygiene, says the
New York "Journal of Educa-
ton" It is not clear how fully
justified the board Of education
was in it's drastic action, but if
one-tenth of what appears to be
true is we'll established, it will
necessitate a deal Of caution in
the teaching of sex hygiene. For
some years there has been wise
teaching of sex hygiene by prin-
cipal of successful experience, and
many cases of immortality among
his grammar school students, even
in the school building, are said to
have been discovered.
In consequence there has been
great public excitement. We are
loath to believe that there is
foundation for any considerable
number Of the charges, but there
must have been something in it all,
for there has been no denial
further than to say that the Of
lenses could not have been in the
school building, and emphatic
denial that the teaching Of sex
hygiene is in any sense respon-
sible.
It is entirely clear, however,
that there must be the utmost care
in approaching this subject and
that the public is highly sensitive
in regard to it. The leading pas
tor of the city said from his pull
pit that any principal who teaches
sex hygiene or allows it to be
taught should be dismissed from
the service. Most unfortunately
this principal had proceeded with
out any authority from anybody,
and without any general knowl-
edge that he was teaching these
things until the universal prac-
tees Of pupils were discovered.
No teacher or principal should
ever approach this subject without
the most explicit authority, and
there should be, so far as possible,
some other adult present when
ever the subject is referred to.

sible of every individual Catholic
in the Archdiocese will be found
in this permanent record which
will proclaim to future genera
tons the generosity of the noble
and self-sacrificing men and wom-
en- who made the new Cathedral
possible. AS far as possible each
one should be able to say that he
has done his share to aid in the
realization of project which has
given to the city of st. Paul a
monumental Cathedral not un-
worthy to take it's place among the
magnificent temples of the Middle
Ages to which we point with pride,
as the outward expression of the
yirile faith which characterized
the golden age of Catholicism. The
new Cathedral, browning the sum
nit of ST. Anthony Hill, will be an
enduring monument in granite to
the deep-seated faith and loving
devotion Of the Catholics Of this
portion of the great Northwest for
the divine Saviour who will be
tabernacled within it's Holy of
Holes.
In addition to the Memorial
Volume, marble tablets will be
erected in conspicuous places in
the new Cathedral recording the
names of all contributors who
have given $500 or more to the
building fund. Already this spe-
cial list is a creditable one, and
before the tablets are placed in
position, it is hoped that many
more names will be added to the
roll of honor. Any one who has
contributed an amount less than
$500 and who wishes to have his
name enrolled among the noted
benefactors of this great work,
can do so by adding to the amount
already given a sum sufficient to
bring the total donation within
the limit set for all whose names
will find permanent place or
these Memorial Tablets.

but that it is a church wherein
Christ dwells in Eucharistic low
illness. There is no reason why
Protestants should pay the same
tribute on passing their churches
for the Saviour does not dwell
within them any more than in any
other place outside the Catholic
Church. That the Bishop was i'm
pressed by this act of homage
shows that other non Catholics are
likely to be impressed in similar
manner. This fact, apart from
the religious significance of the
act, should be an inspiration to
Catholic men to lift their hats on
passing a church wherein the
Blessed Sacrament is kept.

THE HOPE OF THE HARVEST.

The hope of the harvest is in the
seed. The children of today are the
men and women who will compose
the society of tomorrow. Infancy is
the age of sowing. The first habits
contracted in infancy govern generally
the entire lives of the individuals.
Now, upon whom depend these habits?
At first upon the parents. The habits
are acquired during the early years,
when the children are not yet respon-
sible
Plant in their hearts, be it only a
grain, it will take root, and you will
have great difficulty in ever roofing it
out. If the seed be good and it
terminates, it will bring forth almost
certainly a rich harvest. If it is bad,
it will terminate also and will grow up
for the misfortune of the child For
the heart Of the child is like the earth:
the first seeds of evil which are cast
there incline his whole character to
evil.
There are some families where the
happiness of the parents has been
destroyed by the intemperance of
son, sometimes a daughter Who has
soWn the first grain of this detestable
harvest? In certainly is not the chill
dren, who during so many years were
only passive instruments in the hands
of their parents. Who has given to
them the first mouthful of alcoholic
drink? From whence arises the fever
ish thirst and the ungovernable pas
sion of intemperance?
If the fathers and the mothers of
the present generation had been
brought up in the hatred of alcohol,
the homes of today would shelter tenn
perance and respect of authority of
parents and affection of children for
the authors of their days. If the chill
dren Of today are brought up in tenn
perance, happy will be the homes and
the parents of the next generation.

EARLY IRISH SCHOOLS
EDUCATION IN ANCIENT IRELAND
cLUNG TO RELIGION.

AS the vine clings to the tree, so
education, in ancient Ireland, chung
to religion, writes Father O'Donovan,
in the Baltimore Catholic Review.
True, few non-religious schools ex-
listed, but normally and generally
priests and monks were the masters.
AS to maintenance, three kinds of
schools existed; those carried on by
the State at public expense; those
connected to monasteries, and private
and mostly professional ones.
Each of the five provinces had a
chief school with lower ones affiliated
to it. They were free, being endowed
with property.
In the monastic schools not only
Scripture and divinity, but "the clas-
sizes, Gaelic grammar and literature,
history, arithmetic, astronomy, geom-
etry and music" (Joyce) were taught
Doctors were prepared by a course
of IL years. AS there were no spa
cious lecture halls as today, classes
were often held out of doors, or where
convenience dictated.
The languages used most commonly
were Gaelic and Latin
From A. D. $50 on schools grew
fast and spread widely under the pro-
lection of monasteries, as at Clonard,
Armagh, Bangor, Cashel, Downpatrick,
Glendalough, Glasnevin, etc.
Sometimes large numbers flocked to
these schools Three thousand were
at Clonard and others at one time.
Not only in numbers, but in the
variety of subjects taught, these
schools were the prototypes of the
medieval universities Of the continent.
Indeed, scholars came from not
only England, but the mainland of
Europe, attracted by the fame of the
Irish masters. And though it is said
they came I'M "fleet-loads," yet they
were housed, fed and taught gratis.
And this 1900 years ago. How truly
is Ireland called the Island of Saints
and Scholars"
The 9th and 10th centuries were
the golden days of the schools in Ire
land. But alas! then came the ter
rible Danes, those "black" men from
the sea. Monasteries were robbed,
books destroyed, monks and priests
martyred, ana schools moved.
Self-preservation being the first law
of nature, books were discarded for
swords and battle axes, school rooms
and masters left for battle-fields and
chieftain leaders.
Only after the death of Brian Boru
on the battlefield of Clontarf, and the
succession Of Malachi to the kingship,
was partial peace restored.
Never again did Irish schools regain
their leadership in the intellectual life
OF Western Christianity.

REMARKABLE ADMISSION.

"The most remarkable article we
have read in any influential paper" is
the London Catholic Times" charac-
terization of the principal leader in the
March issue of the Church Times"
''The writer admits says our London
Catholic contemporary, that the
Church of England is drifting Rome
ward. The admission is made not in
hints or phrases which in any way dis
guise the assertion. It is an open,
frank admission, published with mani
fest qualification. This acknowledge
ment of the port towards which the
Anglican Church is moving is matter
of great importance. The Church
Times is greatly read by the Anglican
clergy and enjoys the confidence of
many of them. Are we not entitled
to assume that the day is not far
distant when those for whom it can
speak will avow that Rome has right
to their spiritual allegiance?"
The article in the Church Times"
reads, in part, as follows:
This movement is real. 1t began
many years ago, and it was in full
tide before it was definitely perceived.
It has never ceased. There are super
fetal disturbances of the water, rip
pies or waves which cause an appear
ance of contrary movement. Single
vessels and whole conveys manage
with a considerable head of steam, or
by skillfully setting their sails for
transient breezes, to make Roadway
against the current. But the move

well be called drift. This movement
