LEO SCHULTZ Gets
TEACHING POSITION
Normal Athlete Will be Head of
Manual Training at
Richmond, Mo.

Leo c. Schultz, all-around Normal
School athlete and captain of the 1916
baseball nine, yesterday was elected
head Of athletics and manual training
in the high school al Richmond, No,
according to word received yesterday
by Gust Schultz, father of the athlete
Leo Schultz did not learn of the
appointment last night because of his
absence from the city, being in St.
Louis with the Normal baseball team
He will assume the duties of his new
position next September at the OPEN
ing CT the Richmond schools.
Louis J. Schultz, the other twin,
Who likewise is an aIl-around athlete,
has been named head of athletics and
manual training in the Cape high
school.
The two Schultz boys will be grad
uated from four-year course in the
Normal School this spring. Their
graduation will take place during the
last week of May and the first week
of June. They have remained togeth-
er throughout their course in the Nor
NAL School.
Their education and preparation to
teach has been conducted entirely at
the Normal. They began going to
school when they entered a kindergar-
ten class at the Normal years ago
They gradually worked up through the
training school and eventually passed
into the Normal courses proper.
They nave specialized in athletics,
manual training, science and physics.
Probably the Normal School never has
had two brothers who were such COM
plete athletes. They have eXcelled in
every line of sport that they tried.
Prior to their school days the
Schultz twins began their athletics.
They stepped into sport shoes natur-
ally when they went to the Normal.
and as students in the training school
they made varsity teams.
Both have played football for the
last four years on the varsity team,
and last fail each brother played in
all the games on the schedule. Leo
was captain of the football squad last
fall and his brother was captain the
year before.
On the basketball floor they have
done equally as well. They have been
on the Normal five for the last four
years. Louis was captain of the team,
a year ago and Leo was captain three
years ago. The former played a for
ward position and the latter guard.
A year ago they had charge of the
high school track meet in conjunction
with DR.. Cobb, director of athletics at
the Normal.
Leo Schultz, who this spring is
captain of the baseball team and plays
center field, is considered a big-sticlcf'
and has been Z member Of the team
Tor several years.
This spring when the board of edu-
cation at Charlottesville and Ste. Gene
We've began looking for an athletic
and manual training instructor, they
promptly elected Leo Schultz. He
declined to accept either position until
he had made his application at Rich
moni.
The board at Richmond met yester-
day and elected him. Richmond is in
Ray County, short distance north of
Kansas City.

CHURCHES DAMAGED
EXPLOSION ON BLACK TOM Is
LAND DAMAGED CHURCHES IN
JERSEY CITY, NJ. j.

Jersey City Catholic churches were
amongst the important buildings which
suffered serious damage following the
terrific explosion of ammunition on
Black Tom Island early last week.
All Saints Church, one of the most
modern of church structures and city
show place. was damaged to the extent
of about $4,000. ALI of the big stained
glass windows, many of them memo
rial gifts from prominent men of the
city, were smashed.
All Saints lies, perhaps, in one of
the most direct paths of the terrific ex-
plosion. AS soon as the crash of glass
was heard Father Meehan arose from
his bed, dressed and hurried to the
street. His first thought was for the
inmates of the convent a block away
on Communipaw avenue. When he ar.
rived there he found the Sisters in the
street trying to quiet the panic-strick-
en- people, who knelt on the pavement
by the hundreds and prayed.

been consecrated in November. Every

A MONASTIC LEGEND.
BY Eleanor c. DonnelIy. !

The aged nun to the chape1 came, the
lowliest Sister there,
With hidden look, but heart afame,
she knelt her down in prayer.
A dull, laborious soul was she-even
in choir-stall,
The crux of the community, a STUN.
bling block to all.
For she prayed aloud in a monotone
SO sibilant and strong
A youthful nun made fretful moan in
the nearest stall: How long
Must I, dear Lord, this cross endure ?
In vain strive to pray;
The evil that may not cure, distracts
me night and day.
Sweet Mother, aid!"-still on it whirs,
that murmur harsh and dread /!
"Why not unite thy prayer to hers?'
Voice within her said.
$50 be it," and the prompted prayer
sped heavenward at once,
United in intention there, unto the
poor old nuns.
Presto! the kissing monotone became
so honeyed sweet,
1t seemed a whisper from the Throne
with angel power replete.

ANCIENT M|SSAL
PRINTED ABOUT 1900 AND BEAU
TIFULLY ILLUMINATED - DO
MATED TO LONDON MUSEUM.

Through the generosity of Mr.. Otto
Belt, a member of the Advisory Coun-
ell, the Victoria and Albert Museum,
London. England, has recently ac-
quired an ancient Missal from Lesnes
Abbey. which was founded in 117S by
Richard de Lucy, Chief Justiciary of
England, as house of Austin Canons,
in the parish of Firth, in Kent. The
Missal is beautifully written in large
Gothic minuscule on 1876 vellum leaves,
subsidiary portions being in smaller
hand, which. in red, serves also for
the numerous rubrics. There are
many painted initials, in red and blue,
including large Lombardic versals
with filings in infinite variety, of
acanthus shaded in green. Some con-
tain figure compositions in colour APP
piled on gold ground. Among the
subjects represented are the Almighty
in the act of blessing, with attendant
angels: the Angel and Holy Women
at the Sepulchre; and the Narrowing
of He'll. Certain details indicate that
the Missal was completed about the
year 1900.

comes an appetite, craving that is
strengthened even while it is salts.
fed. When such passion is estab
lished, it is already too late to go
back. The parching thirst for intoxi-
cants in the drunkard is not more
burning than is the longing for the
gambling table in the heart of the
confirmed gambler. One or the other
may by supreme effort regain his
freedom, but victory will come only
to the hero.
Continued attention to gambling
means necessarily a loss of time
which in itself becomes a weighty
matter of conscience. Every one can
find much profitable work to do. To
neglect all such occupation would
strongly imply grave injury done to
some one. The hope that every new
move in the game will recoup the
lost savings draws it's victim on far
Their and farther until not only the
surplus moneys are ventured, but that
which was rightly claimed by employ
err, wife or child. The constant nerv-
Gus strain units the gambler for fixed
application to his regular employment.
His business is first neglected and
then abandoned. His family soon be-
comes an object of public care.
Scandal is spread in the community.
The mans name is disgraced. Or, If
he perchance forsees the end ap-
preaching, how often does he strive
to ward off the impending ruin by
direct stealing, hoping to conceal this
crime until the loss is made good.
Other thefts follow, still hoping that
jury even, will not deter him from
trying to hide his sins. His home
is ruined His wife and children
suffer, their lives are blighted. Their
disgrace pierces him more poignantly
even than his own dishonor. So deep
ly does he feel the odium brought
upon himself that he loses the moral
courage even to carry the burden that
he himself has fashioned. He will
seek to escape all and that some
times by the greatest sin, his own
destruction.
These effects in a greater or less
degree do not unusually follow from
gambling, which in itself may not be
sinful. We conclude then with st.
Paul all things are lawful for me,
but all things are not expedient; all
things are lawful for me, but all
things do not edify.

(then not Christian) pretended to re-
ceive the Sacrament of Baptism.
When the water had been poured upon
him, he declared himself a Christian.
Diocletian, thinking all this part of the
comedians performance, laughed
heartily. But when he found Genesius
to be in earnest, he ordered the come
dian to be tortured and then beheaded.
Madame Navarro probably knows as
we'll as any one else, the reason that
Catholics of careful ways of thinking
and acting have viewed the stage with
some aversion. 1t was not that they
thought this or that actor might not
be excellent in every way, but because
the profession was, and is, surrounded
by temptations peculiar to itself. Mad
anne Navarro concluding her address
said:
81 think it would be we'll to remem-
Der in the railroad pace of modern life
and in the distractions of the theater,
that the light that surrounds us is all
from within; that the soul has power
"a sky-stolen power-which can re-
form the will and rectify the thought;
that it is the soul alone that really
stamps the man; and SO remembering,
let us cultivate the garden of our souls.
Where was there ever such a perfect
spiritual gardener as the Church?
With her Sacrament of Penance she
plucks out the weeds of negligence and
of sin; with the Holy Eucharist she
plants in the soul the most perfect
flowers of virtue, and the beautiful
love of the Divine projections. So,
dear Catholic fellow-actors, let us,
faithful children as we are, hold fast
to our strong and loving mother, Holy
Church-the only lasting institution in
this ever-changing world"
That is good advice, applicable not
only to actors but to Catholics in all
walks of life. 1t is interesting, by the
way, to note what has been said by
some one who claims to know-that
about half the members of the theatri-
cal profession in America are Catho-
lies.

Finally, there appears from the pen
of Mr.. r. E. Hutton a plea for the
recognition of what is good in Islam;
and these all in one weeks issue.
Catholic missionaries, following the
example of our Lord in the case of
the woman of Samaria, have always
recognized what is good in all pagan
religions, and because of this Angli-
cans have not been backward in
accusing Catholic missionaries of cor
rupting Christianity.
And so the Church of England, lost
in the labyrinth of it's devious ways
and in the mist of it's vague teaching,
is calling aloud not so much to save
the nation as to have the nation save
it. After the war, we are repeatedly
told, things cannot go on as before.

must either vindicate its right to be
truthfully termed the Church of Eng

ELDERLY REFINED WOMEN
WITHOUT MEANS.

A monument to the memory of the
late Miss Elisa Jenkins of Baltimore
and a work in which Cardinal Gibbons
is deeply interested is a prospective
home for elderly women of refinement
and culture who, through no fault of
their own, are thrown on the world
for support Miss jenkins, who died
recently, frequently spoke of the pro-
ject to Cardinal Gibbons.
Following the family rule, Miss Jen-
kins left no will, but her brothers,
Joseph w. and George G. jenkins,
made the arrangements they knew she
desired, and the jenkins Home will
become an institution carried on along
lines unlike any other in the United
States.
Provision will be made for thirty oc-
cupants. They will have their own
rooms, servants, and even certain al
lowance of money. Each woman will
feel that it is her home and not an in
