ST. LUGUsTINE's PARISH
THE OLDEST IN AMERICA
.cATHoucITYs s5oTH ANNIvER-
sARY IN FLORIDA.


This year will mark the 350th ami
versary of the founding of the first
Catholic Church in Florida by the
Spaniardss in what is now the city of
St. Augustine. The parish of ST. Au-
gustine, by far the Oldest in the land,
has had many vicissitudes in conse-
quence of frequent changes Of flag.
The first cofonists came from Spain
in 1865, more than half a century
before the Pilgrims landed at PIym-
4outh The Church at st. Augustine
was fully organized at that early
period, and It is its unique privilege
to have full set of records of bap-
Etisms, marriages, ETC., from the year
1884. Right Rev. Michael j. Curley,
I'D, is the present Bishop of ST. Au-
gustine, and although he has occupied
the see only since June, 1914, and Ii
one Of the youngest bishops in the
United States, he has infused a new
spirit of progress into the affairs of
the diocese and indications are that
his wise direction combined with
youthful energy will restore st. Au-
gustine's to some of its old time fame
as centre of Catholicity in this
country.

SUNDAY, JULY Is.

Rt. Rev. Bishop Scannell, assisted
by a number of priests, laid the corner
stone of the new chapel of the Good
Shepherd convent Sunday afternoon,
July 25. A big parade was organized
by the Catholic men of greater Omaha
to show their appreciation for the
noble work the Sisters of the Good
Shepherd are doing in Omaha. More
than 5000 men were in line. Rev.
Peter Cannon, editor of the True
Voice, preached an eloquent and
powerful sermon, paying well de-
served tribute to the Sisters and
their charitable and heroic work.
The Convent of the Good Shepherd
Sisters is situated at Fortieth and

.s58,0g0,0o0 ANNUALLY SAVED
EcATHoLIc EDUCATION REPRE-.
SENTS THAT SUM YEARLY
SAVED TO THE COUNTRY.

DR.. John G. Coyle, of New York, in
an address recently given in Brook
lyn, showed by statistics the large
Eamount annually saved to the country
by Catholics in supporting their own
schools.
He said:
'Over 100000 children are educat-
ed in the Catholic. parochial schools
of New York City, at an expenditure,
contributed wholly by the Catholics,
of $1,S20,OOO a year or $13 per pupil.
The City of New York, however, pays
$42.81 a year to educate each child
in the public elementary schools, as
shnwu by the city superintendent's
.repofl Tor the year ending July 81,
1914.
THE reason why the per capita
cost of education in the Catholic
schools is so low is because most of
the teaching is done by members of
the religious orders, who devote their
lives to such work from religious mo-
tives and receive for their highly
skilled and elsewhere highly paid
labor the merest pittance, no emolu-
ments whatever going to the bench
of the individual teacher.
"If therefore, the 100000 children
now cared for in the Catholic paro-
chial schools of New York City were
to be educated at the expense of the
City of New York, the budget would
have to be increased by $5,993, 800, or
in round numbers, Sc, ,000, 900 forthwith.
Since the present budget is $200,000,-
900, this increase would mean that
every property owner who now pays
$100 in taxes would find his tax bill
increased by SIS for each 500 to pro-
vide for city priced education for the
Catholic parochial school children.
"Glancing from the local aspect to
the national view, it appears from
the United States Commissioner of
Education's figures that the taxpay-
ers of the United States, including
the 1S,O0O,OOO Catholics, annually pay
for the education of 13,302,303 chill

UNIFORM CHURCH SINGING

child and every adult in the parish,
it must be sold at such low price
that there be none who may reason
ably refuse the purchase.
"The ST. Paul Hymn-B Book" it is be-
lieyed, is sufficiently comprehensive,
and sufficiently cheap. 1t is now
made the official hymn-book of the
Diocese of st. Paul.
The putting of the hymn-book into
universal use will be the work of di-
rectors of schools and of pastors of
parishes. Orders will be sent to the
publisher, covering so many copies
as may be needed in the school or
| the parish those to be afterwards re-
tailed in the school-room and at the
door of the church.
The school-room is the primary
training ground towards congrega-
tional singing. The children should
be taught to sing from note-not
merely from ear. The words and the
melodies of a certain number Of
hymns -those likely to fit into more
popular use-should be rehearsed by
rote so that, later, if necessary, the
singer may dispense with the printed
text. This rule finds particular appli-
cation in the chants of the Benedic-
tion of the Blessed Sacrament, and
the responses reserved to the people
at the High Mass.
AS to congregational singing in
churches, the rubrics prescribe the
use of the Latin during High Mass
and vespers. This rule, will, of
course, be strictly observed Hymns
in the language of the people are al
lowed during Low Mass, in devotional
exercises, before and after High Mass.
On such occasions large use should be
made of hymns in the language of the
.people-the priest, or an authorized
substitute, announcing before hand,
in an audible voice, the caption of
the hymn to be sung, and the page
of the manual on which it is to be
found. Special command should be
given to the choir-loft to hold itself
strictly, at all times, to the words and
the melodies marked in the manual,
SO far as its contents correspond to
the requirements Of the public serv-
iee. The benefits deriving from con-
tgregatfonal singing are too important
to permit that 1t give way to the sing
ing of the few, however artistic or
fanciful this singing may be deemed.
In its present form, THE st. Paul
Hymn-Book'' is an experiment. The
first edition of ten thousand will soon
be exhausted; and, then, a new edi-
tion will be ordered, with such i'm
provements as may, meanwhile, be
counselled.
For the sake of cheapness of cost,
"The St. Paul Hymn-Book," in it's
regular edition, does not contain the
musical notation for organ accompani-
.ment. An extra edition sold at
slightly increased price-gives this
notation, together with the full con-
tents of the regular edition.

Eof the work is: "The st. Paul Hymn

tain about seventy-eight hymns, with
words and melodies. These hymns
tmay be used at Benediction of the

Masses, with the Responses for High
Mass.

bishop of st. Paul.
Foreword.
One of the very comforting signs
among Catholics, in recent times, is
the use, in daily increase, of sacred
/ song by pupils of schools and by at
Etendants at public services in chapels
and parish churches. The day was,
not long ago, when in America the
ehoir-loft owned the exclusive right
| to be heard in sacred song. I'm
toward situations and circumstances
lent countenance to this unfortunate
condition, which all did regret who
had in mind the intentions of holy
Church, and understood the serious
loss to Christian pfety from failure to
follow them in practice. Situations
and circumstances have changed,
very much to the better: new era
has begun on behalf of popular par
ticipation in the music of religion. To
be of help in this felicitous movement
| is the purpose of the little manual of
chant, having for title-"The st. Paul
Hymn-Book
An essential prerequisite to the in
PRODUCTION of sacred song in schools
and in churches of a diocese, is that
there be throughout complete uni
formity in words and in melodies.
Children in the schools of the whole
diocese, attendants at public services
| in it's several churches must have in
their hands the same manual: else
with every change from one school
| to another, from one parish to an
other, new texts, new melodies should
have to be learnt-a task not likely
to be done because of the fresh labor
| it imposes. The furtherance of con
gregational singing is not a matter of
quick growth: repetition, again and
again, of the same words set to the.
same melodies is necessary to sue
cess.
The one hymn-book for the entire
diocese must be the rule, and this
hymn-book, whichever it is, must be
marked by two qualifications COM
prehensiyeness of contents and cheap
ness of cost. There must be in it a
sufficient number of chants to be ade-
quate to usual needs, and to provide
profitable and agreeable variety. And,

SUMMARY OF PAPER READ BY
HON. PIERCE BUTLER, OF ST.
PAUL, AT THE EDUCATIONAL
CONVENTION.
Duties the Citizen owes to the State


The existence of recognized gov
ernment implies an association of
inhabitants to promote the general
welfare and requires conformity, at
least in general, to common stand
ard of conduct and life. The word
citizen" more appropriately applies
to one living in a republic and involves
the conception that he-is free man.
a part of the government itself
where the people are the source of
it's power and for whose welfare it
exists.
The citizen owes allegiance in full
measure to the government-his
country-and he is entitled to it's
protection. Allegiance and protec-
tion are reciprocal obligations, and,
stripped of all sentiment, the one is
the consideration for the other
allegiance for protection and protec-
tion for allegiance.
Full allegiance in this country in
wolves the obligation to support and
defend the federal and state consti-
tutions. These are the instruments
declaring safeguards for the freedom
and safety of persons and the secur-
ity of private property, and which lay
down the fundamental rules of gov
ernment. They are charters of lib
erty enumerating and securing in
specific terms the rights which have
been won throughout the history of
the race as the reward of valor, for
bearance and worthy aspirations. BY
general statements contained in the
Federal Constitution, all rights,
privileges and immunities not
enumerated and such as arise out OF
the nature and essential character of
our government are reserved to the
people. The fundamental proposition
here is that the people are the source
of power.
The trainers of our constitution at
the very outset and in the preamble
recognized this truth. 1t is there
declared that I'VE, the people of the
United States, do ordain and estab
lish this constitution for the United
States of America"
Surely no definition or enumera

1890. 1t contains a thaumaturgic
