REVISED COMMANDMENTS

Jack Harrison recon-
mends the following revised
commandments:
Thou shalt patronize the
country editor in thy youth
to the end that the evil days
may come not when thou
shalt say l have no plea
sure in them.
Thou shalt advertise thy
goods and thy wares liber-
ally in the local press and
shalt not kick on the rates,
remembering that print pa
paper is seven and half cents
pound and hard to get at
that price.
Thou shalt not sponge the
local papers from thy neigh
Dor.
Thou shalt pay thy sub
scription in advance.
Shouldst thou overlook
thy subscription, thou shalt
not take a paper for two or
three years, read it, and
then give thyself, the editor
and everybody else the bel
lyache by claiming that the
paper was stopped. Under
such circumstances thou
shalt be a sport and pay up
like a man.

UNIVERSAL MILITARY TRAINING
VITAL FOR SECURITY OF NATION
WILL MAKE FOR PEACE IN
STEAD OF WAR, CARDINAL
GIBBONS SAYS.

Cardinal Gibbons, of Baltimore, in
a letter to the Association for Ma
tional Service, presents an earnest
plea for universal military training,
which, he says, is of vital Importance
for the welfare and security of the
nation.
His letter to the secretary of the
organization, written from Southamp-
ton, N. Y, says:
L beg to acknowledge with many
thanks your letter informing me that
the members of your association were
pleased to publish and circulate far
and wide the New York Suns edi.
torial, which referred to my inter.
view, on the Importance of military
training for the youth Of our country
Il am intimately persuaded that
such a training is of vital Importance
for the welfare sand security of the
nation. The discipline which the
young men will acquire will develop
their character and improve their
physical condition
Moreover, 1 am persuaded that
this military preparation will make
for peace rather than for war. For if
any foreign nation is disposed to in
wade our country it will be deferred
by the recognition of the fact that
our country is prepared for every
emergency. Another consideration is
that the few years our youth will
spend in military discipline will not
indefinitely withdraw them from the
active and pacific pursuits of life

THE FAMILY.

An Englishman writing in Har-
per's Magazine thus attempts to
show the reasons why the family
is disintegrating:' "All the events
of the last century-the develop
ment of the factory system, the
Married Women's Property Act,
the entry of woman into profess
sions, the discovery of co-educa-
ton and of education itself, eu-
genics, Christian Science, new mu-
sic halls and halfpenny papers, the
Russian ballet, cheap travel, wom-
an suffrage, apartment uses-all
this change and stress has lowered
the status of one whom Pliny adj
mired-the father of family.
The family itself tends to disap-
pear.
The real reason of family disin-
tegration is to be found in the alb
sence of religion. When religious
conviction has been eliminated
from family life the bonds that
should unite the members are per-
ceptibly weakened because the
moral sense is to great extent
left to shift for itself. In bygone
ages, even among the ancients, re-
ligion entered deeply into family
life. With the Greeks and lRo-
mans religion was an integral part

KNOWLEDGE OF THE CATE
CHISM.

To know the Catechism from
cover to cover may seem a modest
achievement, but the possessor OF
the knowledge has acquired some
thing that will stand him in good
stead all his life. Cardinal New
man, in his "Idea of a Univer-
sity," tells how a little Irish boy
who knew his Catechism put three
learned gentlemen to shame.
1 recollect," says the Cardinal,
some twenty-five years ago,
three friends of my own, as they
then were, clergymen Of the estab-
lishment, making tour through
Ireland. In the west or south they
had occasion to become pedestri-
ans for the day, and they took
a boy of thirteen to be their
guide. They amused themselves
by putting questions to him on the
subject Of his religion; and one
Of them confessed to me, on his
return, that the poor child put
them all to silence. How? Not,
Of course, by any train Of argu-
ments, or refined theological dis
QUESTION but merely by knowing
and understanding the answers
in his Catechism. &"

NUNS BECOME U. S. CITIZENS
MEMBERS OF AUSTRIAN ORDER
PREPARE TO REMAIN IN THIS
COUNTRY PERMANENTLY.

Mother Mary. Emerentiana, leader
of the Vincentian Sisters of charity,
an Austro-Hungarian teaching order
with a large membership in this coun-
try, has applied for American citizen
ship in the federal court of Pitts
burgh, under the law which natural
ICES women as well as men. Mother
Emerentiana was, accompanied by
two Sisters of the order, and it was
said that thirty others would make
similar application. The applications
follow the determination of the order
to remain permanently in this coun-
try.
The order is, or was, a branch of
the Sisters of st. Vincent de Paul
of Hungary, and they were granted a
charter here in 1911. However, since
that time, by petition to the courts
of Allegheny county, the name of the
organization has been changed to the
Vincentian Sisters of Charity This
was done, it is understood, by reason
of a similarity of names between this
and other orders in the Diocese of
Pittsburgh.

ENDoWING COLLEGES.


According to its latest report
Yale University received. during
the last ecclesiastical year gifts
amounting to ,256,356.69. The
total of it's edowment amounts
now.to 49, 100000.
Time was when. American Cath
ohcs were possessed of but slender
material resources. Various causes
operated to prevent or to make
difficult the acquisition of unusual
wealth by Catholics. But in re-
cent years broader education and
opportunities have enabled many
of our co-religionists to amass con-
siderable fortunes. It has always
been the boast of the Catholic
Church, and rightfully so, that she
fosters education throughout the
world. Speaking of America
alone our parOchial school system
is a magnificent monument to the
zeal of the Church and the sacri-
fees of Catholics. Even where
large institutions of higher educa-
ton exist they have been built as

Shane Leslie in his new book,
'The End of the Chapter, thus
pictures the Church of England f:
"Anglicanism is less a creed than
conditions of mind peculiar to
the Englisho Anglicanism spells
an ideal of temporal followed by
eternal comfort. 1t is the histori-
cal attempt to combine the advan-
tages of the Catholic and the re-
formed faith. 1t implies tradition
without mystery, bishops without
authority, an open Bible and a
closed hell. The articles of the
English Church were originally
articles of peace devised to enable
the rival supporters of Church and
Sovereign to live under one roof.
Real Professionalism came later
with the Puritans; and Cromwell
was the first Nonconformist.
Anglican doctrine changes with
dynasties and fashions of thought.
The ritual varies with each
parish"

other, the first settlement of the
English Catholics (1634., Although
but fourteen years apart, these two

first, the town of Plymouth, remains

THE GOOD SHEPHERD.

No more appropriate title could
be conferred upon those noble
women who rescue the fallen mem
bers of their sex than Sisters of
the Good Shepherd" The first
Good Shepherd went forth in
search of the lost sheep in the
desert. After many weary step
in rough places, torn with briars
and brambles, and anxious for the
welfare of the strayed sheep, He
finally returned rejoicing with the
wandering one safely in His arms.
Little did He heed the fact that
He was misunderstood or maligned
or reviled. His good work buoyed
Him up above the waves Of oppo-
sition. He cared not for what the
thoughtless might think or say of
His work, knowing that the Father
in heaven looked down with smil-
ing approval upon the rescue
which He had made.
The imitators of this great
Original, the Sisters of the Good
Shepherd, follow closely in the
footsteps of the Great Shepherd of
all. They care not whether the
world approves Of their receiving
in their midst the outcasts Of So
ciety: they see but one object and
that is the immortal soul which is
shrOuded underneath even the
most corrupt exterior. To them
an unfortunate girl is but a sheep
that has strayed from the fold
Theirs is the duty Of rescue,
theirs the task of reforming,
theirs the pleasure of purifying,
theirs the joy of restoring that
soul to its: former state Of friend
ship with God. In the words of
DR.. Calvin S. White, head of the
Oregon State Health Department
Where can you get together
such a band of noble, devoted
self-sacrifcing women as the Sis
tiers of the Good Shepherds There
are certainly no better teachers
These girls, entering this house
become respectable wives and
mothers, and are like burning
brands, snatched from the fire OF
ruin and death. y -

BAPTIST CANDIDATE.

No Catholic should have a public
office in the State-where Catho-

should be obliged to marry like

won, but on second count the SUI

against him.

IN SCHOOLS
TEN COMMANDMENTS PLACED IN
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

The Board of Education of the Dis
trict of Columbia, last week formally
accepted the plan offered by the illus
trated Bible selection committee
through it's chairman, Rev. Wilbur F.
Crafts, to place charts of the Ten
Commandments for use in the public
schools, the same to be those accepted
by representatives of 264 denomina-
lions, including Gentiles and Jews.
This seems to be a great argument
in favor of Catholic education, where
the moulding and training of the
mind and heart go hand in hand. In
our Catholic schools it is the conse-
Grated teaching Sister, who inspires
by the beautiful example of her own
pure, self-sacriflcing, exemplary life,
and who places in the souls of the
children the ideas of virtue, of gener-
osity. and of zeal, which in manhood
and womanhood give the Church the
successful priest, the devoted Sister
the jealous and energetic Catholic
men and women OF the world.

We publish elsewhere in this
issue a letter sent out by the Ma
tional Federation of German
American Catholics. The letter
has to deal With the question of
education Of immigrants who
come daily to our shores. Since
the beginning Of the European
war America has awakened to the
necessity Of thoroughly Ameri-
canizing the children of. foreign
lands who come to live in our
midst. With laudable purpose the
various bureaus of the govern
ment have bestirred themselves in
educating the immigrant. The
channel Of the government s ac-
tivity has been the public schools
Of the country. The Bureaus of
Education went so far last year
as to send out under it's frank
posters Of the National American
ization Committee a, private or
ganization, pointing to the public
schools as the exclusive place for
the new conner to receive his edu-
cation for American life. The
Bureau of Naturalization Of the
Department of Labor recently an
nounced that $50 Cities in forty
four states were cooperating with
the appeal through their school
systems. Last year the Bureau
sent 100000 names of candidates
for citizenship to the Superintend-
ent Of the above mentioned school
systems.
When we consider that a vast
proportion of the immigrants are
Catholics hailing from Catholic
countries, and raised in a Catholic
atmosphere, it does seem as if our
parochial schools should take
hand in the matter. There is no
doubt in any sane mind that the
Catholic school produces as high
and as fine type Of citizenship
as does the public school. 1t
stands to reason, therefore, that
if our Catholic schools would but
interest themselves in the educa-
tional needs Of the poor immigrant
he would become a thorough
American citizen, and at the same
time he would preserve the re-.
ligion in which he was born and
brought up, and which by it's
moral teachings forms the best Of
all reliable citizenship. Ii he or
his children attend the public
night schools and then lose
their faith, the strongest prop un-
der the structure Of solid citizen
ship is either weakened or broken.
IL the Catholic schools, where
numbers of immigrants are found,
do not open night schools for
these strangers the Catholic
Churches in the same districts
may witness as many empty pews
as are now complained of by our.
non-Catholic brethren.
