explanation of the Mass. BY Rev.
J. B. Mcdonald. Price rs cents.
The authors purpose in publishing
this brochure is set forth in the pref
ace: This little book is the result
of an effort to find brief and inter-
esting plan of explaining the sacri-
fee of the Mass to Sunday school chill
dren. To avoid confusing their ideas,
have purposely Stunned dogmatism
and history as much as possible, and
leave untouched many beautiful parts
of the sacred ceremony, hoping there
by to keep their minds on the really
essential parts" The treatment of
the subject is concise, clear and sim
pie. One looks in vain for the I'm
primatur" which publications of this
kind should always bear.

The Education Of Boys: BY Condo B.
Fallen, Phi. D., LII. ID. Published by
the America Press, New York.
Although the series Of letters on the
Christian education of boys, comprised
in this volume, appeared several years
ago in the pages of the Dolphin"
they are more pertinent now than
when first published on account OF
the increased tendency among a GER
tain class of Catholic parents to send
their boys land girls, tool, to nom
Catholic schools, where their faith is
in danger The letters-bright, inter
esting and instructive ARE written in
a familiar, chatty style which makes
them pleasant and profitable reading.
They show the defects of an education
which, by excluding moral training
or which religion must be the basis
fails to develop, "a completely ball
anced rational animal"
