SERVES AS COMPLEMENT
To PUBLIC EDUCATION
Far From Being Dead Issue, They
Are More Alive To-Day Than
Ever Before.
DEVELOPMENT is MARVELLOUS

Establishment of foundation for
Secondary Education, With Power

the Dnnrillc school. DnnVilIc. Nn

In the very beginning of any con-
sideration OF the private schools, il is
necessary for us to get out of our
minds the idea that we are dealing with
a dead or a dying issue. The private
secondary schools are more alive to-
day than they have ever been before,
and within the past five years have
demonstrated such Vitality as has not
been known in any other division of
educational institutions in the history
of American education. In our educa-
tional meetings OF the past generation
we have been receiving reports
OF the marvellous development of the
public schools and have seemingly left
the private schools out of considcra-
ton, as If they were passing out OF
existence. We have been asking our
selves tho question as to whether or
not the private school had any reason
for its being. Now. when we are all
convinced that the public high school
Is more efficient than it ever was be-
fore and that its enrolment of stu
dents has increased 81 per cent in five
years, we are amazed TO find that the
private high school has increased its
enrolment IS per cent in those same
five years.
SECONDARY EDUCATION
DEVELOPING RAPIDLY
The great development in secondary
education, both public and private. has
naturally contributed to the growth Of
colleges and universities and schools
OF technology. and so we lind that
these higher institutions, both public
and private lave increased their en-
rollmcnt of students above the second
airy grade 40,S6l during the five years
ended in 1913. This is Impressive until
we find that the private secondary
schools alone have increased their en-
rollment during that time by 54hS2
secondary students. When, therefore,
we ask what we may do to increase
the efficiency of the private schools we
are dealing with a problem that de-
mandS Immediate consideration
Instead of undertaking an exhaustive
treatment OF this subject, | shall ask
consideration OF only three items.
First, the private school as an essential
part of our educational system Sec

individual institutions. Third, the
need of more money and plan to

CATHOLIC CHURCH
 TO ASSIST POLAND.
Collections Will Be Taken Up for
 Sufferers Next Sunday

Collections for the war-stricken in- habitants of Poland will be taken up in all Catholic churches in the sIIartford diocese next Sunday. The following appeal for funds was read yesterday in the churches from Bish- op John J. Milan:
 sta'A prolonged wall of deep distress comes across the ocean from Poland weeping, tortured and desolate. The fierce struggle on the Russian border has been confined exclusively to the territory of Poland throughout the past year and the most desparate battle of all history is this mo- ment drencing Polish soil with blood. Two hundred towns and eleven thousand villages have been laid in ruins and millions of people wander homeless up and down their desolated country
 There can be no doubt that of all the nations engaged in this devastat- ing strife the greatest sufferer is Po- land. History has no record of suf- fering such as that which has fallen to the lot of the mothers of that afflicted country Husbands and sons are in the field, brother is forced to fight against brother in hostile armies while those at home are left the mourn over the dead and witness the sufferings of the living. They wander about without shelter or food. Children stretch out their arms in an appeal to mothers who have no bread to give them.
 ITO keep away starvation and alleviate this dire distress kindly ap- peal to your people next Sunday, Au-5 gust 1st, to contribute to a collection which will be taken up on the fol- lowing Sunday, August 9th. As tho need of funds for those who are starving Is most urgent, please send the contributions to the chancery as soon as possible. so that the relief may be immediate
