UNIVERSITY COLLECTIONS
REORGANIZING CATHOLIC UNI
VERSITY MUSEUM.

The general museum of the Cath
Ollie University of America, Washing
ton, D. c., is being reorganized under
the patronage of the Right Rev. Rec
tor and the direction of Drs. H. Hyver-
nat and r. Butin.
1t is located in a large room, 62x46
feet, directly above the assembly hall
in Mcmahon Hall, it's numerous and
large windows on three sides of the
room commanding the most beautiful
and the most extensive view of the
University grounds.
Of the four older collections har-
bored there, the largest one and the
first in date is the Wilcox collection
of American minerals and fossils
donated by Mr.. Joseph Wilcox, of
Philadelphia. 1t offers splendid
foundation for the equipment of de-
partment of geology, much needed at
the University. In the meantime the
minerals have been loaned to the de-
partment of chemistry, where they
are soon to be placed on exhibit in
the new rotunda of the Marquis
Maloney chemical laboratory.
Oriental Collection. 4
Next in order of date is the orr
entail collection of DIR. Hyvernat,
head of the department of Semitic
and Egyptian languages and litera-
lures. 1t consists chiefly of cuneiform
tablets (private letters and deeds of
sale) ranging from 1000 to 500 B. c.;
Babylonian seals of the same period
silver and copper coins from the var
ious Mohammedan dynasties; Arabic,
Coptic, Hebrew, Syriac, Persian and
Turkish manuscripts, Coptic and
Greek papyri, Egyptian tapestries of
the Coptic and Arabic periods, and
many curios collected in the course
of DR.. Hyvernat's travels in Western
Asia, India, Egypt and Soudan.
Third comes the Lindesmith collec-
ton of Indian war relies and in
particular relics, Of Gen. Clusters ex-
petition against the Sioux which is
unique for the number, variety and
importance of the articles it includes.

MEXICAN FEELING
AMERICAN PRIEST THROWN
INTO CELL.

Recently Father Van Goethen was
called over to Nogales to visit very
sick Mexican woman by the name of
Rosario Robes. During the time over
there the priest visited the military
hospital, and was on his way back
home, when he was arrested near the
plaza by Mexican officer who con.
Quoted him to headquarters to have an
interview with the commandante
Datto Campbell The Mexican officer
asked Father Van Goethen, who gave
you permission to come over here?''
The Father answered, Nobody, need
no permission, for l am an American
and have the same right and privi-
leges as any other American"
Datto Campbell then asked the
Father for his citizenship papers, and
was told that if his words we're not
good, his papers would not be either
Campbell then said, Are you a
priest?" l answered yes" said Faith.
er Van Goethen. Then Campbell ask.
ed, do you know that General Gales
forbade priests to enter Mexico?" The
Father said, Yes, as far as the Mexi
can priests are concerned, but | am
an American priest and not subject to
the orders, of General Gales" He was
of Commandante Campbell and placed
in a cell.
Before going over in answer to the
sick call, Father Van Goethen had told
his assistant, Father Usson, that if he
did not return at a certain time to
phone the American Consul, which
he did. Simpich Immediately went
over to see the commandante, who
on seeing him said: Il know what
you came over for. You came over tC
get that priest, but he has gone tc
Empalme." Upon being informed thai
no train had gone to that city since
the arrest, the commandante Their
said: "You can't see him because he
ncommunicado." He was advised
that it would be much better for hin
if the priest was released at once
After studying a minute Campbell
gave orders for the priests release
which was done.
Father Van Goethen felt the matter
deeply and was justly incensed, as hi
went over to answer to the call O
mercy, and in no manner intended tt
interfere with any of their business
on that side of the line. He has
taken the matter up with the State
Department and with the United
States senators of Arizona.

CATHEDRAL ARCHIVES
PRESIDENT MADISoN'S LETTER
TO BISHOP CARROLL.

The Church seems to have taken
the lead in Maryland in early times
in this country and in the city of
Baltimore. Public schools, both gram
mar and high, and state universities,
are of much later birth than private
schools of religious character.
Moreover, Baltimore seems to have
stood high in rank as a place for a
liberal education, and to have been
resorted to by some of the most
prominent people of the land, as the
following letter intimates.
Mr. Madison, three years before he
was elected President, wrote to Bish-
op Carroll, first Bishop of Baltimore,
and about sending his son-in-law to
Father Dubourg, S. S., then presi-
dent of st. Mary's College, now St.
Mary's Seminary, this city.
The letter follows verbatim:
Washington, December A, 1906.
Dear Sir:
Il received in due time your favor
of the goth ulto. and had hoped that
less time would have been lost in
availing my son-in-law of the opening
for him with Mr.. Dubourg. For some
days, however, previous to the arrival
of his mother he had a complaint in
his bowels, which rendered several
doses of medicine necessary. The
little delay required by her affection,
after her arrival, was prolonged by
the disagreeable idea of sending him
with crowds of drunken sailors who
now fill every stage, and without any
particular acquaintance to take
charge OF him. All difficulties are at
length removed by the patronage of
him on the journey by our neighbor,
Mr.. Forrest, who sets out with him
tomorrow evening, and will be so
good as to present and introduce him
into the care of his preceptor. The
kind attention which you have shown
on the occasion and the friendly
sentiments expressed in your last
letter have not lost the effect they
ought to have on our gratitude, and
| beseech you to be assured that |
shall always be happy in evincing
that sentiment as we'll as every other
with which | ought to remain,
My dear &c right Rev SIR
Your most obedt,
JAMES MADISON"

CATHOLIC SCHOOL FACTS
LARGE NUMBER OF PUPILS AND
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN
INVESTMENT.

There are over 1000 Catholic
schools in the United States of every
grade from the kindergarten to the
university, and for every need, for the
defective as we'll as for the normal;
for teachers as we'll as for pupils;
industrial, technical, professional, and
seminaristic, writes Rev. John J.
Wynne, S. j., editor of the Catholic
Encyclopedia, in the New York Times.
There are besides night club, settle
ment, social and summer schools, and
great. number of teachers Institutes
The Catholic schools in Alaska, Ha-
wall, the Philippines and Porto Rico
are not enumerated.
In these 1000 and more scholastic
institutions there are over 100000
pupils in attendance, of whom 1897
$40 were in the 1888 schools of ele-
mentary grade at the beginning of the
present school year in September,
1916.
Academies and Colleges.
In the academies and colleges there
are over 100000 in the university and
professional schools about $500; in
the industrial and technical, 1900;
in seminaries, G,200 in training
schools, $1,000; in various institutions
for dependent children about 10000,
besides several thousand in night,
club, settlement, social, and summer
schools.
These vast numbers of students are
! housed in schools which in structure
and equipment compare favorably
with the public schools. With few eX-
ceptions the buildings are exclusively
devoted to school purposes In every
instance they provide space for as
sembly room, library, laboratory.
They are built according to municipal
requirements, they are we'll lighted
and heated, and they are conveniently
| located
over 100000, 900 Invested.
The buildings are numerous and eX.
pensive. The property and edifices
are valued at over $1O0,00000O. The
cost per pupil for the year is about
$40. Although it is not easy to esti-
mate precisely the amount thus ex.
| pended every year, the expense and
interest would exceed 100000
This is less than one-half the cost of
educating an equal number of pupils
| in the public schools.
