CARD OF THANKS.

The consensus Of the delegates
to the recent convention Of the G..
E. A. in st. Paul was that har-
mony was the keynote, not only
in the deliberations but in the
various arrangements as well.
The success that crowned the eff
forts of the several committees
evidences the thorough efficiency
of the individual members.
A feature of the arrangements
that calls for special mention is
the alacrity with which the laity,
and all those called upon, re-
sponded to the invitation for the
use of their automobiles. Quite
"a number of persons were re-
quested to allow the committee
the use of their cars at certain
times for the benefit of the num-
erous delegates. One and all
manifested the utmost interest
and generosity, so that at all
times automobiles were at the
service of the visiting educators.
This fact in itself will do much
to impress the visitors with the
spirit of Catholic loyalty that has
always distinguished our people
in st. Paul.
The Committee wishes to ten
der its sincere thanks to one and
all who in any way helped to fur
ther the success Of its efforts.
THOMAS j. GIBBONS,
Chairman.

UNFIT NURSERIES. ("

In the course of the convention
just closed it was stated that the
Church was convinced that "She
should not accept the secnlarized
school as the fit nursery of child
hood and youth. !"
OF course, it was to be expect
ed that the unthinking would
grasp at this and wrestle with
lit to their own destruction. Is it
not strange that people possessed
of ordinary intelligence will per
sist in running along. in rut,
without raising their eyes aloft
to the sun of reason, when there
is question Of things Catholic?
Verify, the human mind is at
times an inextricable maze.
Our position is simply this. We
maintain that in matters of edu-
cation it is necessary to educate
the whole being: moral, religious,
intellectual, physical. The public
schools maintain that education
consists chiefly in the intellectual
and physical development of the
child: the moral turn in nature
is left to shift for itself, and the
religious point of view is entirely
excluded. This being the case, it
becomes perfectly natural for us
to say that where religion is
omitted education, so far as we are
concerned, is defective. On this
principle, we refuse to commit
our children to those who will
not carry out our ideas of educa-
ton. If our fellow countrymen
choose to send their offspring to
schools where God is never men
toned, we have no quarrel with
them. But we still maintain that
such schools are not fit nurseries
for our children, whatever they
may be for those who believe
otherwise. Have we not as good
a right to hold that such schools
are not proper for us, as others
have to believe that they are good
enough for themg
If you believe that religion is
necessary for your child will you
err if you demand a school where
religion is taught? Rather; will
Won NOT err If Won send him else
where? If you desire your son
to learn civil engineering, will
you send him to even the very
best college of law? The cases
are parallel.
As to the maudlin pulings
about loyalty, patriotism, and
the excellent qualities of public
school teachers, this is all beside
the mark: it is going a mile a
minute-but in the wrong direc-
ton. We yield to no one in the
whole country in our firm loyal
ty and patriotism; as for public
school teachers, we recognize
their excellent qualities many
of them are our own daughters

During the past few weeks
many of our Catholic exchanges
have given prominence to a news
item which states that Mr.. D. j.
Casey, who was ill in Providence
Hospital, Seattle, Wash, had the
distinction of having nine sons in
the priesthood" and that his
fourteen sons are gathering from
points in Montana, Wisconsin,
New York and Minnesota" to be
near at hand when the end comes.
1t makes a nice feature story and
would be very interesting if it
were true. As matter of fact,
Mr.. Casey has fourteen children
living -four daughters and ten
sons-but only three of his sons
are priests-one in Minneapolis,
Minnesota, another in Bynum,
Montana, and the third, a member
of the Capuchin Order, at Yon-
kers, N. Y.

During convention week the
various converts Of St. Paul en-
tertained a large number of
visiting nuns. Judging by re-
ports heard on all sides, the good
Sisters in st. Paul proved most
charming hostesses, and their
guests left with real regrets, but
deeply impressed not only with
the hospitality so graciously ac-
corded them, but also with the
greatness Of our convent schools.

Do not forget that July is the
month Of the Precious Blood.
Father Faber says: cit is out of
the Precious Blood that men draw
martyrdoms, vocations, ceiba-
cies, austerities, heroic charities,
and all the magnificent graces of
high sanctity. The secret nourish-
ment of prayer is from those
fountains. They purge the eye
for sublime CONCENTRATIONS. They
kindle the inward fires of self
sacrificing love. They bear a
man safely, and even impetuous-
ly, over the seeming impossible
ties of perseverance"

CANARDS!

AS our learned readers are
aware a canard means, in French,
a duck. In English, of course, it
now signifies a hoax. The story
runs that about sixty years ago
a French Journalist contributed
to the French press an expert
ment of which he declared him
lself to have been the author.
Twenty ducks were placed to-
gether, and one of them, having
been cut into very small pieces,
was gluttonously gobbled up by
the other nineteen. Another bird
was then sacrificed for the re-
mainder, and so on, until one
duck was left, which thus con-
Etained in it's inside the other nine
teen! This the journalist ate.
The story was widely copied, and
thus the "canard" became i'm
mortalized.
The inventive and festive
Journalist most probably has gone
to his reward ere now. But he
left many successors. They are
lat present busy in France and
Belgium Matching ducks can
lards-for both home and foreign
consumption. Their chief bust
ness is for the export trade, and
the canards center about the
venerable prisoner of the Vatican.

of men and women will be better
trained than their parents, and be
better able to take. care of their chill
dren in all those things which the
State now feels obliged to promote
and to attend to. To many thinkers
however, there is a pet fallacy here
For if the present generation is aceus-
toned to such extra care and attention
on the part of the State there is good
reason to believe that the next genera.
ton of parents will look to the State
for all that they have enjoyed, and
the tendency will be rather to shirk
than to assume the ordinary RESPONSE
bilities of familyslffe. Nay, widening
out of that policy will probably be de.
handed at least it would be natural
to expect this-and we may yet see the
State asked to furnish clothing for all
children regardless of parental ability
to provide the same. If clothing, why
stop here. Why not see to it that the
State also furnish lodgings, theateT
tickets, and spending money, yea, and
automobiles
With regard to the tendency to com
plete sscularization, as mentioned in
Mgr. McDevitt's paper, there is a
growing factor in this country that
may yet do much to injure the cause
of Catholic educational freedom. This
disturbing element commonly is called
Socialism. It may not be rank out and
out Socialism, but it is that insidious
insinuating spirit that is creeping into
many universities, and is at times
known as freedom of speech. Just

Lights Not Dazzling.


The decision of the court was made
in the case of Stanley H. Homer, who
was charged by Policeman Trenis with
having headlights on his automobile
that were dazzling and binding"
When the policeman took the stand to
testify he said the lights were bright,
but that they were not dazzling or
binding.
Mr.. 'Homer presented in evidence one
OF the. headlights from his machine
which showed that it contained besides
the large center light a pilot light on
the upper part of the lamp, and which
he and the policeman testified was
being used
It was cintended by Assistant Cor
pora ton Counsel George Taggart that
the law was violated in that the front
glass of the lamp was not ground, the
reflector had not been removed and
that nothing had been placed over the
front glass
Mr.. Taggart directed the attention of
the court to the case of Robert H. Mar
tin, brought as test in the court in
august Anann d' 1911 in hi. which he declared
the evidence. that the so-called dim
mer. or pilot light, with a powerful
reflector, was just as bright as some
ordinary acetylene lights.
Judge Pugh's Decision.
In his decision in the Martin case
Judge Pugh said in part: There is
testimony here to show that the dim
mer system is not sufficient to remove
the binding and dazzling feature of
light. One of the. officers testified that
he observed that the DINNER system
did not remove the reflection, but the
smearng of these substances on the
front light. or removing the reflector.

ture or the binding feature of it,which
is admitted by all.
