THE BETTERMENT OF THE DEAF.

below par. These wrong conceptions
should be removed before we can
secure fair amount of social justice
for our silent fellow citizens. To gain
pertinent and detailed information re-
garding the deaf, read the chapter on
The Social Status of the Deaf" in
The Scope of Charity.
Hearing people generally give the
deaf wide berth. This obtains not
from fixed convictions that the deaf
are very inferior to the hearing but
because of lack of practical means of
social intercourse Though the use
of signs is natural to the deaf-and
almost general among them-men and
women are, in reality, socially
ostracized by the use of this express
siVe way of conveying their thoughts
and imparting their knowledge to
others. Where hearing and deaf peo-
pie do not converse whose fault is it?
Certainly it is not the fault of the
deaf. They have usually made good
use of their natural endowments. In
nearly all instances they have striven
to express themselves in proper
manner.
1t is generally accepted that one
cannot be well educated without
learning to speak more than one Ian
guage. When, therefore, we must
master foreign language to acquire
broad education why should we not
learn to use the language of con-
siderable class near at home. There
is no means of social communication
as universal as the sign language.
The same ideas are expressed in the
same way all over the world. 1t is
not difficult task to learn to con-
vey ones thoughts by finger and hand
movements. The results achieved in
developing speech and cultivating
ability to read lips by the deaf has in
some instances been so remarkable
that the tendency today is to much
Overestimate the oral method as a
proper means of educating all the
deaf. After the public becomes fully
aware of the merits, or lack of merit
of this present day very popular
method of educating the deaf, leading
schools will teach hearing pupils the
sign language; and disinterested per-
sons will conclude that many hearing
people should qualify to be associates
and helpful friends OF the deaf-in-

RELICS.

The Catholic teaching ON the
veneration of Relics is receiving
quite a practical demonstration
these days. 1t was necessary to
bark back more. than a hundred
years, but Old Liberty Bell, of
Philadelphia, was equal to the
task, and we now behold the edi-
flying spectacle of thousands of
children from the city of broth
erly love to the coast paying
homage and respect to the ven
cradle tocsin that called men to
liberty. These children, doubt
less, are not idolaters, but loyal,
faithful, youthful citizens, who
honor so precious a relic. One
would thing that the A. P. A. S
of Denver were pretty narrow
bigots, in trying to prevent the
Catholic children of that city
from viewing this old memorial :
but never fear: our children I'M
derstand the meaning Of relics.
We sometimes wonder where these
A. P. A. S would be diffusing their
benign influence at the present
day, if it had not been for the
Catholic Columbus.

There is much Christian phil
osophy in the following extract
from an editorial written by con-
Wet 42865 in the "Ohio Peniten-
tiary News"
Reform, to be lasting and
definite, must come from within
the delinquent and must begin
with the head and heart. Then
and only then can the prison adj
ministrator, the judge, the prose
cutor, the minister and the public
defender help. In other words,
each man should determine to be-
come a public defender, and de-
fend himself against narrow mind
edness, prejudice, blind hatred,
evil thoughts and despair. These
are the real 'coppers who hound
you. These are in fact the ele-
ment that inevitably make your
failure and trouble. Why not
fight against them? Why not de-
fend that better part in you from
the ravages and dangerous on
slaughts Of the worst part of
you?"

The Sacred Heart Review tells
the following story:
$40 what religion do you be-
long?" minister of state in Hol-
Ian asked a young man who had
applied for government office.
The minister, though a Protestant,
had a great respect for the Catho-
lie belief, and was greatly sur
prised when the candidate an
swered: 81 am Catholic, but /
do not much care whether / con-
tinue to be one or not. 81 have
no appointment for you, said the
minister. "You were born and
brought up in the greatest institu-
ton in the world, and yet You be-
tray your cause! A Catholic who
does not love and esteem his faith
as his great treasure is not fit for
the kings service, since he knows
not how to serve his God"

We have received a copy of the
Catholic Convert, a new quarterly
published by the Catholic Con-
verts' League, of New York City.
The object Of this magazine is to
promote the movement back to
Holy Mother Church. - The pur-
pose in view is most laudable
one, and it probably will appeal
with special force to the large
number of Catholics who, though
not born in the Faith, have been
called thereto in later life. 1t
carries lesson also for all Catho-
lies inasmuch as it places before
us the trials and the sufferings
that so many converts are obliged
to undergo in choosing to follow
the light as they see it. All kinds
of struggles evoke emotions IN the
beholder: the struggle of a soul
fighting to attain the light and to
emerge from the gloom often
touches the sublime.
We bid the new magazine well
come in the field of Catholic jour
nalism, and we bespeak for it the
greatest possible good in the wide
domain through which it will
travel

interest. The Catholic sermon
seems to such an one continued
reiteration on the same old topics.
Surely there can be no dearth OF
variety for sermons, especially in
this day of new movements, fads
and fancies. The proof of this is
easily found by scanning the
headlines of the Monday morning
papers of any great city. Our
ministerial brethren without the
fold are never at a loss for new
and fascinating subject to present
to their people on Sunday. Per-
haps we are old fashioned: so
also is the Gospel. We have a no
tion that our priests should not
wander into the fields Of Botany,
of Poetry, of Paleontology, or
Archaeology for their sermon sub
jects. Such things more properly
come under the head of lectures !:
and we do not go to church to at
tend lecture, but to worship and
to hear the Word of God.
Nothing is more simple than to
take up topic from some present
day movement, dilate on it, show
its beauties, it's advantages, or it's
harm. But that is not religion !:
and in our churches we demand
religion. Our souls hunger for the
Word of God, and the preachers
would have us grow enraptured
over the delicate tints Of the but
terf1y. Our spirit yearns for the
JUNCTION Of divine grace, and they
would offer us a disquisition on
the latest palimpsest discovered,
or the depressing horrors Of some
metropolitan slums. All these
things may be good in their place ::
but the pulpit is not that place.
Unless our priests preach the Di-
vine Word, the Faith of Jesus
Christ, sorrow for sin, and the
beauties of virtue, they will fail
to interest us.
The Gospel Of Christ is the sub
ject Of the ordinary sermon to be
heard in our churches. The Cos
pei does not belong to any par
ticular period, it does not apply to
a certain class Of individuals, it's
appeal is not to a select coterie
alone, nor yet to the multitude
it abstracts from Time, and comes
to us with the thunderous force
of the Eternal; it's mission is to
all men, because all men have
been redeemed by Christ, and the
Gospel tends to bring home that
Redemption with telling force to
every child of Adam.
No. We do not wish our pull
pits to be changed into lecture
platforms for the gyrations Of
levity, the pyrotechnics Of soul
less oratory, or the mental aero
battles of misguided preachers. =
We want Christ, and Him cruel
fed, and we wish the pulpit to
resound with appeals to the heart
and the will, and not to the in
tellect only.

DOMAIN OF TEMPERANCE.
ALCOHOL AND EFFICIENCY.

A strong effort is being made to
upset the prohibition law adopted in
Arizona last November. This appears
to have been poorly drawn law and
vulnerable because Of its carelessness.
However, it is unlikely that any upset
will be more than temporary, the
sentiment in favor of the abolition or
the use Of alcohol having gained such
Roadway everywhere on economic
grounds.
Some recent statements by financial
authorities in Russia, which is furnish
ing the greatest object lesson respect
ing prohibition, are illuminating. Mr.
Bark, the Minister of Finance, in re-
viewing the recovery of Russian in
dustry after the first shock of the war,
said recently:
Unemployment in the various indus
tries is not noticeable, except in the
regions where the war is in progress.

1t is high time for Mrs. Pitman

We wish to congratulate the
Catholic Messenger, of Davenport,
Iowa, on it's issue of July first.
In twenty-five well filled pages it
presents a splendid symposium OF
facts and statistics about the
Catholic Church, especially in
America. All the old calumnies
and fiction about priests, nuns,
Houses Of the Good Shepherd, and
a hundred other subjects, are
placed in the unmistakable light
Of Truth. 1t is a liberal course,
in applied Christianity, for Cath
Ollie or Protestant.

THE NEW GENERAL OF THE
FRANCISCANS.

The new General of the Franciscan
Order, recently elected at the general
chapter of the Order, held in Rome,
is the Very Rev. Seraflno Cimino, o.
F. NJ, Custos of the Holy Lands.
The new General was born October
3, 1875, at Capri, in the Diocese of
Sorrento in southern Italy. He en-
tered the franciscan Order in 1893,
and was ordained priest in 1898. In
1911 he came to the United States,
and was professor at st. Anthony's
College at Catskill, N. Y. At the age
of thirty-nine years he is head of the
whole Franciscan Order.

As mentioned elsewhere in this
issue the schools of New York are
to experiment on a plan for Civ
ing religious instruction to the
children. Anent this new depar-
ture it may be remarked that this
plan has been in force for the past
year in one of the public schools
of the Bronx, New York. Dur
ing the school year just closed
1,600 children have been dis
missed three times week, eighty
minutes each time, for religious
instruction. The various relig-
ious bodies have united on this
plan; and though it is still far
from the ideal, it is the first great
step forward in the history of this
country where the need of real
religious training has been pub
licly recognized in so tangible and
practical a manner, We trust
that the idea will be taken up and
acted upon in other parts of the
country, as it will go a long way
towards remedying the present
illogical situation Of a thorough
separation Of religion from the
instruction Of youth.

In contrast with the enlight-
ened action Of the New York
schools in beginning to permit re
hgious instruction between school
hours, comes the news that Ten
nessee has just passed a bill pro-
viding for the daily reading of
ten verses of the Bible in the
schools of that State. Just what
good this will do the children is
not apparent. No provision is
made for any specified version,
nor is instruction to be added by
way of comment. st. Peter says
that there are things in the Scrip
lures wherein men wrestle to
their own destruction: so difficult
is the meaning. But then, perhaps,
the children of Tennessee are
supermen.

SUMMER INSTITUTES.

One of the most pleasing fea-
lures Of the improvement to be
seen along the lines of Catholic
education is the summer institute.
Realizing the necessity of keep
ing abreast Of the times in all
matters pertaining to advance
ment in educational matters, the
various teaching orders and COM
munities of the country have in
augurated the custom Of holding
a session of summer work for all
the teachers connected with the
particular institution. 1t is at
this time that the various mem
bers of the teaching bodies are
gathered together at the Mother
house for relaxation, and for the
annual retreat.
In various parts Of the country
summer schools have been
founded with the object Of fur
nishing special instruction in adj
vanced work. Credit is given for
this work which may be presented
for degrees at some accredited
university. Teaching Sisters have
patronized these summer schools
in ever increasing numbers. The
work done there is of the highest
order, and those who attend these
schools derive incalculable benefit
both for themselves as we'll as
for the schools under their charge
or instruction.
To many of the Orders, how.
ever, it has seemed better to have
their own institute. In this way
they are able to procure men and
women of their own choice, as in
structors, and to receive instruc-
ton along the specified lines of
their work. This method, more
over, permits of extending the
benefit of the summer school not
| to a few chosen ones, but to the
whole community. If one remem-
bers that in nearly every com
munity there are hundreds of Sis
tiers who derive advantage from
| the home institute, it will easily
be seen that the schools under
their charge must of necessity feel
the reaction in advanced methods
of teaching, broadened outlook,
and frmer grasp of all educa-
tional problems.
1t is great mistake. made only
| too often, to hold that a teacher
can remain stationary in his or
her calling. The educational proc
ess is progressive, but it admits,
nay, it demands, that continual
additions be made to the sum of
knowledge already possessed by
the teacher. In these summer In
stitutes lectures are given on gen
eral subjects, as well as along
specialized lines. The knowledge
which a teacher possesses is
therefore consolidated and coor-
dinated; the logical nexus in his
torical events is brought wildly

THE PRIEST ON THE BATTLE.
FIELD.

In the London (England)
Daily Chronicle some time ago
appeared an article by Mr.. Philip
Gibbs on the spiritual influence
OF priest-soldiers on the field of
battle. Mr.. Gibbs, we are pleased
to note, quotes as accurate the esti-
mate published by Catholic papers
that there are twenty thousand
priests in the French Army at the
preseN time. While many of
these, he writes, are employed as
chaplalns or stretcher- bearers in
the Red Cross Corps, the great
majority are serving under COM
pulslon as ordinary soldiers in the
ranks, or as officers who have
gained promotion by merit. Mr..
Gibbs says he cannot explain what
he terms "the paradox that those
whose function it is to preach the
Gospel Of Peace should be helping
to heap up the fields OF Christen-
dom with the corruption of dead
bodies. j." There is no paradox at
all, for these priests are fighting
under the compulsion Of a goddess
government which prosecuted the
Church these priests serve; and
one form of that persecution is
the compelling Of these clergymen
to fight. They are fighting in the
army, therefore, merely as citi-
zens of France, not as priests; al
though they cannot forego their
priestly functions. And they are
exercising these functions nobly in
the trenches, as Mr.. Gibbs testi-
flies, for, according to him, "the
priest-soldier in France is spir-
itual influence among. his COM
rades. The lay-soldier sees the
priest at his prayers in the
trenches, or ON his lying down to
rest, and puts check upon his
blasphemy. He marks the super
natural note in the priests cour-
age and Indifference to death. He
responds to the kindly doing by
the priest Of a thousand little acts
OF service. !" And, having seen
again and again in the Order Of
the day the mention Of priest S
names for gallantry," the lay
soldier surely cannot but be
moved to admiration Of and de-
sire for that gift of the grace of
God which is the secret of the
priests courage and conservation.
The prophet isaias writes, elbow
beautiful upon the mountains are
the feet Of him that bringeth good
tidings, and that preacheth
peace. :" And st. Paul admon-
ishes Christians to have their
feet shod with the preparation
(literally the preparedness of the
gospel of peace :" If we alter the
words :" upon the mountains" to
the words Gin the trenches" in
the passage from Isaias, how ap-
propriately the prophets words
apply to these French priests;
whose preparedness in obedience
to the injunction Of st. Paul is
moving to admiration and a
worthy covetousness Of such grace
many who are still outside the
Church, and not a few who for
merly blasphemed.
