THE POSITION IT OCCUPIES IN
THE CATHOLIC EDUCATIONAL
SYSTEM OF AMERICA-RESUME
OF ITS GROWTH, DEVELOP
MENT AND PRESENT STATUS.

The following passages from a re-
cent letter of His Eminence Cardinal
Gibbons, give a brief account of the
growth, development and present
status of the Catholic University at
Washington, d. c., and point out its
place and function in the Catholic edu-
cational system of the United States:
Twenty-Five years ago, the Catholic
University was begun under the aus
pices of the Holy See and the bishops
of the United States, and it has not
ceased to grow on the lines laid down
by its founders until today it 6lls with
admiration and hope the hearts of all
American Catholics.
Catholic lay students are entering
the University each year in ever
larger numbers. The number of &C.
clesiastical students also increases,
both secular and religious, so that the
problem of accommodations remains
always acute. The new dormitories
for lay students, like Cardinal Glib
hons Hall, could easily be filled if we
had them. Moreover, Divinity Hall
is now quite overcrowded with &c.
clesiastical students, secular and re-
ligious priests, and demands enlarge

Two new religious communities
have this year established theiI
houses of study at the University

and Brothers of Mary, making in al

members are educated under our aus

expressed by the original founders o.

they do from so many parts of the
Union.
The Student Body.
This year the University is educat-
ing between four and five hundred lay
students. Surely not a few of them
will become men of distinction in all
the walks of life, lawyers, physicians,
teachers, writer's, engineers, etc., and
in this way give us a notable increase
of the Catholic leadership we so bad
ly need and so ardently welcome.
The celebration in April of our
twenty-ffth anniversary called pub
lie attention to the rapid growth and
eminent services of the Catholic Uni
versity Our three American cardi-
nails and thirty archbishops and bish-
ops, with several hundred priests and
distinguished laymen, took part in the
proceedings, and with one accord ae-
knowledged the many benefits which
our American Catholic life owes to
the foundation of the University.
Already, through its Summer
Schools and its Sister College, the
University is rendering incalculable
service to the Catholic parochial
lschools, and this affects Immediately
the happiness, temporal and spiritual
of multitude of Catholic families in
most of our dioceses. The annual
donations of our Catholic people in
each parish are thus repaid with in
terest, for it is universally admitted
that no greater service could be rem
tdered Catholic education than to hell
in training perfectly the members o.
our teaching sisterhoods.

Last week the contract for the mar
BILE for the altar, furnishings and or
namentation of the chapel of st. Peter
in the new Cathedral of st. Paul, was
awarded to D. Fl. Mcbride of New
York; and if we are to judge from the
specifications, the chapel when COM
pleted will be a shrine of more than
ordinary artistic beauty and lowell
ness. The altar, the floor, the walls
and the ornaments will exhibit a har-
monious blending of richly tinted ST.
emma marble which will challenge the
admiration Of the beholder.
The plans and specifications were
prepared by Mr.. e. L. Masqueray, the
architect of the Cathedral. The altar
will be made of silver gray Sienna
marble, the columns, pilasters and
balustrades Of a dark hued variety,
while the walls and spaces between
the arches will be of lighter color.
The floor will be of different tint.

CONGREGATIONAL SINGING.
SUCCESSFUL BEGINNING MADE
AT THE CATHEDRAL LAST SUM-.
DAY-HYMN SINGING A FEA-
TuRE OF THE MISSION OF THE
PAuLlsT FATHERS.

Last Sunday the Most Reverend
Archbishop was present at the Solemn
High Mass in the Cathedral of st. Paul
to witness the Inauguration of the
movement to promote congregational
singing at the different religious
services.
AS the procession of acolytes, altar
boys and priests, preceded the Most
Reverend Archbishop from the sacristy
to the sanctuary, the congregation
sang Come Holy Ghost" At. the
Asperges many joined in the liturgical
chant and after Mass the solemn
strains of Holy God, We Praise Thy
Name" filed the sacred edifice. The
singing which was very impressive
and inspiring was participated in by
almost the entire congregation, using
for that purpose the "St. Paul
Hymnal." In the evening the hymns
for Benediction of the Blessed Sacra-
ment were sung by all present.
During the week, at the exercises
of the mission which the Paulist Fa-
theirs are conducting, hymns were
sung by the women of the congrega-
ton who filled the Cathedral to the
limits of its seating caAacity. Many
Joined with the choir in the Benedic-
ton hymns.
The success of these efforts to fos-
ter congregational singing in the
Cathedral parish promises well for
the future of the movement. In the
course of time the people will become
familiar with the hymns and melodies
and accustomed to what is now the
novelty of the movement and no doubt
the results will be entirely satisfactory
to all concerned.

VALUABLE PAINTINGS STOLEN

Five paintings, valued at $4,000,
stolen from the Bishops palace at San
Luis Potosi, Mexico, are believed to
have been smuggled across the border
and to be on their way east. Govern
ment agents are known to be investi-
eating recent express shipments from
Ell Paso, Texas.
The pictures are said to have dis
appeared from San Luis Potosi during
the visit of General Tomas Urbina, the
general recently executed by General
Fierr, on orders from General villa,

York. The services Of the Federal
Government have been invoked tc

When Governor Slaton approached tho new governor to deliver Into his hands the grand seal of the state. a few hisses were heard from the crowded gallery. President G. ogden Persons of the state senate rapped sharply with his gayel. The misses continued and Governor Slaton paused. President Persons rapped again and the hissng ceased. He warned the spectators that unless they were in order the gall leres would be cleared.
 Instantly there was a tumult of ap- plause. After 1t subsided Governor Sla- ton turned to the new governor and said, presenting the seal:
 Governor Harris, I know that during my term of office this great seal of state has not been dishonored." His words were greeted by another prolonged out burst of applause.
 Leaving the capitol the crowd surged in on the former governor and had to be held back by the militia. Kisses and
