AN UNKNOWN HERO
HEROIC WORK AND LIFE OF MIS-
sIoNARY PRIEST IN FAR EAST
ERIN sEAs-PADRE TARRAGo IN
SLOW MARTYRDoM.

The Calamianes Islands, as you are
probably not aware, considered eccle-
siastically, are in the Prefecture
Apostolic of Palawan That division
comprises the Palawan, Iwahig Penal
Colony, the Culion Leper Colony, the
iCuyo and Calamianes Settlements, a
motley grouping, fit to delight the
heart of it's apostolic bishop. For
further information. one may thumb a
very large geographical lexicon; but
even in the latest and most extensive,
the curious seeker will find no infor-
nation such as is printed on page 79S
of that very sober volume, Kennedy's
Catholic Directory for 1917:

The simple heroism of man who
welcomes leprosy because it draws
him nearer to the afflicted, in striking
and literal accord with st. Paul who
would make himself all things to all
men that he might win all for Christ,
brings out the shame of our sordid
Eself-seeking. Yet it makes us proud
of the sublimity to which this poor
nature of ours can attain. In most
civilized countries, physical ill-health
is held a cause that fairly justifes

allowed to stay in Fiji and settle
there after their contract time of five
years has expired. They number al
ready $4,000. The Marists are try-
ing to- do some good among them by
having schools for their children. The
Cathedral Of Suva is fine one built
of stone, and when completed will be
a noble church fit for any country.
At Leonka there is a Catholic Church
built chiefly for the white popula-
tion The native Catholic population
resides principally at Loretto and. Ca
waci. At Cawacia the Bishop gener-
ally lives, because he has there the
great work of his catechists. He has
an estate of FIVE hundred acres, culti-
waited by the catechists, who thus be-
come self-supportings Each catechist
is the father of good Christian
family, and these families live in ma
tive houses not far from fine stone
church dedicated to st. John the Bap-
tist. When the catechists have spent
at least three years at Cawaci, to re-
ceive instructions in religion, they re-
turn with their families to the islands
whence they came, and there they
propagate or preserve the faith, and
set the example of the virtues of a
model Christian family. This is a
great work and glory to Bishop vi

it's nature. Six vice supreme masters
from the United States and. two from
Canada are expected to attend, with

that is to be. taken up has not yet
been definitely established, but among
the suggestions made are that COM
plete set of the Catholic Encyclopedias,
the standard reference; work of Cath
olicism in the English language, be
placed in every war camp library, and
THAT the Washington's Birthday cele-
Ebrations in the large cities of the eou1l-
try be abandoned for next year, but
that a famous Catholic laynaan be
sent to each Of the sixteen canton
|ments and thirty-two encampments Of
the United States army to deliver an
address on Washington's Birthday. 1t
has also been proposed that the Fourth
Degree give a contribution to the K.
OF e. war camp fund, which is under
the direction of the order in general.
Mr.. Reddin has sent out the follow
ing interesting message to Fourth De-
gree masters
Denver, Colo, October %, 1917.

of Padre Tarrago and his life of

of God look down with joy upon that
brave man laboring in his loathsome

in the lonely waters of the far East

written in Gods great book as one

A SCHOOL BOARD BROUGHT TO
TASK FOR; VIOLATING FUNDA-
MENTAL LAW or THE STATE.

!. u a
Evidence that the State Board of
Education has not been entirely sue
cessful in it's efforts to prevent dis
crimination against candidates for pos
itions as teachers because of their re-
ligious beliefs is furnished by the &C.
ton of the Board itofs Education of
Medford Township, Burlington County,
NJ. j., in refusing to engage Miss Lot
tie Berman of Stirling because she is
Jewess. The case is still under in
vestigatiOn, and Assistant Commissions
er John Enright of the Department of
Public Instruction has given assur-
ances that the matter will be followed
up until complete recession from
the position taken shall be made by
this Board of Education
The discrimination ON the part of
the Medford Township School Board
was made apparent in letter written
by it's secretary, G. ]. Garwood, stat
ing that he was authorized to offer
Miss Berman a position as teacher in
the seventh grade at salary of $55 a
month, provided you are not a Cath
Ollie or a Jewess,'' observes the New
ark, NJ. j., Evening News.
Vincent M Fallon of Stirling told
of the Boards action in a letter to the
commissioned of education, concluding
by asking if it were not time for the
state board to put stop to discrimf-
nation against Catholics and Jews.
Mr.. Enright of the State Beard of
Instruction wrote in part as follows to
Mr.. Garwood: ~ 4
