THE CATHOLIC COLLEGE FOR THE CATHOLIC BOY

be hewers of wood and drawers of

Again, the habits and qualities
which higher education develops make
for success. The Wisest of the Greeks
wrote that all men desire knowledge
but that few desire the labor necessary
to acquire it. knowledge can be won
only by toll. Who fain would develop
the mind must "scorn delights and
live laborious days." And it is this
toll of mind, stern and unremitting,
that fits men for struggles which they
who would reap success must ever
undergo. Habits of industry and of
close investigation, the power to
think for oneself, the love Of work,
the ability to wrestle with difficulties
these are some of the qualities
which higher education calls out and
which are the guarantee of a success
full career wherever they come into
play Indeed, if more of our young
men were submitted to the discipline
that education in the true sense of the
word entails there would be fewer
spoiled children, fewer prodigal sons,
fewer "lounging animals on the
prowl for mischief" for the world to
deal with.
knowledge is power, and for this
reason parents should do everything
they can to equip their children with
the best possible education. But
knowledge is also a sweet and beau
tiful thing in itself; it is, apart from
all other considerations, a thing de-
sirable for it's own sake. 1t is tru-
ism that on earth there is nothing
great but man and in man there is
nothing great but mind. It is the
mind that makes us rich or poor:
man is what his mind is. Now If men
toll with patience that never flags
over block of marble to bring out
the lines of beauty latent in it, or over
some fragment of translucent stone
to bring out the fire and the flash of
it, with what joy and patience should

soul, bringing the mind into contact
with the best the world has thought
and felt in all the ages, and leading
it into the grand inheritance of human
ity which has been purchased by the
toll and thought of countless genera
tions.
And yet these are not the reasons
that most powerfully influence our
Catholic people in sending their boys
to higher Catholic institutions of
learning.
The chief aim of education is the
formation of character. To prepare
men for life-this is the supreme pur-
pose of the college. The great object
of education, says Emerson, should be
commensurate with the object Of life.
There is no parent who does not wish
above all to see his boy grow up man.
ly and modest and reverent, loyal and
courteous and truthful, bearing with
him into his manhood all that is sweet
est in childhood, loving honor as he
loves life itself, faithful with lifelong
allegiance to his religion, and ever
shaping his course by the high and
holy law of Heaven. These are the
fruits of training that parents most
covet for their children, and without
them mere aptitudes for working
problems would be travesty on edu-
cation. But these things are the spe-
cial appanage of religion, and without
religion they cannot be fostered
Without religion knowledge may be a
power for evil; it is possible to have
an excellent grasp of science and liter
allure and to have but slight hold
on whatever things are good and true
and pure. Indeed, knowledge without
an enlightened conscience to direct
it's use may be formidable weapon
for evil. Now morality is simply re-
ligion in practice. It is religion alone
that can furnish the ideals that the
mind must have, and the motive power
that the will must have, and the
authority that the conscience must
have. Beautiful generalities which are
offered as motives are but sorry sub

1t is gratifying to note that Catholic
parents are more than ever alive to the
need and duty of giving their boys the
advantages of higher education. The
reasons that appeal to them are many
and varied, but they may be briefly
summed up under few heads.
The call today in every walk of life
is for trained men. knowledge is
power, and without it there can be but
little hope for those who wish to win
success. This is in the very nature
of things, for just as the trained hand
of the skilled artisan gives him an
enormous advantage over the unskilled
workman, so the trained mind gives
its possessor an immense advantage
over the man whose faculties remain
undeveloped 1t would be a pitiable
thing to send out youth MANNED in
body to compete with those. who are
sound of limb and feet of foot; it is
hardly less pitiable to send youths
MANNED in mind to battle for the
prizes of life with those whose pow
ers or faculties have been care
fully trained for the struggle. The
chief difference between one man and
another is not difference of intel
ligence; rather does it lie in the I'M
equal efforts men make to delvelop the
powers God has given them. Stats
tics show that 90 per cent of our
boys and girls do not go beyond the
eighth grade About per cent COM
plete the high school course. Less
than~2 per cent pass through college.
But statistics also show that from the
ranks of those who have passed
through higher institutions of educa-
ton are drawn the men who have to
do in large way with shaping the
course of affairs in every department
of activity throughout the country. To
the colleges the nation is looking more
and more for those who are to be
the leaders in the various fields of
business, politics, etc. Education is
the road to success, and those who are
debarred from it must be content to
do the rough work of the world-to
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1914-05-30

stitute for religion. The Catholic
Church is the one great school of
virtue the world has known-the only
school that can appeal to the magma
ton and stir the will and warm the
heart and illumine the Conscience
the only school that can offer the COM
plete ideal of virtue in the life of One
Who, on the lowliest plane of human
ity, showed men how to live human
lives divinely. 1t is because the
Church is the school of virtue that
parents entrust their children to the
hands of it's teachers. In doing so
they show that they know what edu-
cation in the highest sense of the
word means, and give proof that they
love their religion and the souls of
the children committed to their care.

| CHARGE MONDAY
NEDRELOE. ENGEsETH, WENDT
AND HENNESSY ARE ONLY
NEW OFFICIALS FOR COUNTY
OTHERS REELECTED.

~--~St
elected county officials will take charge
Of their offices. There are but few
changes to be made and the machinery
of the county will continue in motion
without interruption.
Sheriff-elect Nedreloe, who halls
from the Gooseneck, will take charge
of one Of the most important offices,
and the best paying office in the coun-
ty. Mr.. Nedreloe has not made known
the identity Of his deputies, but it is
a pretty safe bet that Clarence Van.
denoever of this city will be one of
them. &&
Sheriff Kelley, after four years of
service, will retire from the office to
give his attention to his numerous bus
mess enterprises. Ed Kelley has made
an ideal sheriff, as good as the coun-
ty has ever had.
VIM. Wendt, who has been deputy
Superintendent of Schools for years,
will take charge Of the Office as Super
intendent, having been elected at the
recent election by very large vote.
Mr. Wendt knows the needs of the
schools, is thoroly conscientious Of
fetal, and he can be depended upon to
give good account Of his steward
ship.
Martin J. Engeseth is the Register
of Deeds elect. He will succeed Gun
der Reishus, who has served Ward
county for ten years in capable and
faithful manner. Mr.. Engeseth will
go into the Office with the good will Of
every tax payer in the county.
The other officials proper, are hold
overs. L. J. Thompson, the auditor;
VIM. Murray, county Judge; Carl Lind
berg, treasurer; Knute Hagen, Clerk
of the District Court; Orson Doe, Cor
: oner; R. A. Nestos, States Attorney;
H. C. Frahm, county surveyor, were
all reelected, thus proving that their
Offices were conducted in accordance
with the views of a majority Of the
voters. Carl B. Bach, Public Admin
istrator, was elected for four year
term two years ago. "a u .s55
There will be one new county COM
missioner on the board, P. j. Hennes-
sy, from the Fourth district, promi-
'nent Berthold farmer. J. NJ. Robe, Of
Kenmare, who is serving the unexpir-
ed term Of F. L. Sanders, deceased,
+ was elected from his district. Peter
Vandenoever, Of Minot, Olaf 'Lokkens-
gard, Of Sawyer, and B. J. Anderson
from the End district, constitute the
other members Of the board, making a
very able set Of county commissioners.
It is understood that VIM. Wendt
has appointed as his assistants, "A. NJ.
Waller, for severai years assistant to
p. G.. Warren, and G. G. Heen, for
more than a year and half superin-
tendent Of schools at Des Laos. Mr..

Harper was Of an eaSy-golng,
phlegmatic nature, and soon threw
the incident of the moment off his
mind Not so Bruce Elliott. He had
not forgotten Eleanor Dewar. Now
that she was in deadly peril, he could
not rest. When they stretched out
for a nights sleep he rolled and
tossed.
Harper was snoring in dense SUM
Der as Elliott arose shortly after mid
night. He directed a brief note to his
companion, telling him that he was
determined to recOnnOiter Britt island
and would return that morning. He
took his traps with him, so as to i'm
press any stray natives he might
meet with the idea that he was simply
on duty and business bound. Then
he got into his canoe and padded in
the direction of the little spot on the
water a few miles distant to the
northeast.
Elliott had heard at Hedza that the
natives isolated from the main islands
resented the invasion of civilization.
Colonel Dewar had encouraged COM
mercial activities, and brisk export
trade in the spices, dye woods and
metals of the archipelago had result
ed. The inhabitants of Britt had
shown their enmity towards the new
system from the beginning. Now
they had been guilty of an OVertact of
defiance and viciousness. AS Elliott
realized that some of the tribes were
still given to cannabalistic orgies and
human sacrifices, he shUddered at a
thought of the possible fate of the
gentle, refined young lady who had so
attracted him at Hedza. -..
Elliott beached his canoe and set
out equipped with his usual survey
ing outfit. He sl1irted the shore for
some hours without discovering
any signs of the natives. AS, however,
lust after sunrise, he mounted a steep
