BISHOP BUSCH OUTLINES ITS
PURPOSE AT A MEETING OF
BUSINESS MEN.
(Communicated.)

About a hundred local business men
responded to the invitation extended
to them to attend the banquet given
in the Grand Central Hotel last Thurs
day evening for the purpose of ac-
quainting them with the object and
end of the st. Cloud Institute. The
Right Reverend Bishop Joseph F.
Busch, in his Introductory address,
briefly indicated the chief purpose of
the project in the all comprising
terms: "The object of the st. Cloud
Institute with it's many features is the
advancement of Christian fellowship
and enlightened citizenship" The
Bishop dwelt on the necessity OF
an institution having all Y. M. C. A.
features and outlined the planslfor the
new clubhouse in detail. 1t is not only
to contain physical culture features
but it is also destined to be social
center for societies, it is to be civic

trained by the Christian Brothers be-
fore he went into specialized work for
his profession. In journalism the
ranks do not hold the Christian
Brothers boys for the reason that they
rise from the ranks-and the big
editors of the country ascribe the fact
that their editorial chairs are occupied
by graduates of the Christian Brothers,
schools for the reason that they are
so thoroughly grounded in their Eng
lish. And remember that the Chris
tian Brothers do not profess to teach
journalism-they do, however, teach
English. And they teach English
as they do everything else--in such
thorough-going fashion that the gradu-
ate finds it no handicap in life what.
ever walk he may follow and may
happily find it means to his material
salvation. Their graduates, and their
rgraduates-sound in mind and
limb-have been an inspiration for
their contemporaries in forum and
field. Many of them have gone on to
the heights of learning and won
laurels that mark their service to man
kind; some thousands have taken
their places in the ranks of the men
that do things in the ordinary walks
of life. And those readers who know
of their own knowledge of those things
and those personal successes and who
have boys of their own who have in
them the making of good men should
consider the history and record of the
Christian Brothers in the completion
of the education of the boy. All the
world over the Christian Brothers
have done great work for the cause
of humanity in the education of boys,
but here in st. Louis they have
brought their forces to bear in a man
| ner that has been tremendously eff
fective in furnishing the generations
with the making of big men. And in
attaining this ultimate of practically
the Christian Brothers do not lose
sight of those standards which are
as necessary to the future of the
man as the practical aspects of edu-
cation. A sound mind in a sound
body is the aim. of the Brothers, and
they are very frequently attained.
In the healthy atmosphere of a school
or college from which commercially
in its ambitions is excluded, the right
boy must be bettered and the boy who
is uniformed must be made right.
