The chairman Of the New York
Catholic Nursery Committee writes
as follows:
The Catholic Day Nursery of New
York, like the long established
Creches in great European centres of
population, such as Paris, Vienna and
Rome, had its origin in the special
need of poor mothers forced to work
out in order to support their families
and in the resourceful inspiration of
Christian Charity. But in New York,
owing to certain phases of the eco
nomic and social conditions affecting
the life CT the poorer classes of work
ing people, it was destined to follow
a particularly broad line of develop
mGnt.
One of the unfortunate results of
the high cost of living is that each
year sees an increased number of
women who must work out in order
to help their husbands to support
their families. In the struggle for
the bare necessities of life, they are
often obliged to go in search of work
outside the house. SO that, although
it is quite true that the woman's right
place is in the home with the children,
nevertheless. it is true also that, I'M
der the growing stress of these mod
ern times, there is less possibility for
poor working people so circumstanced
of realizing this ideal.
AS usual, when it comes to the solu-
ton of economic and social problems,
it was the Religious who first under
took to help the poor mother to bear
her burden by shouldering more than
half of it themselves.
1t is interesting to note that three
of New York's Catholic Day Nurseries
are entirely managed by charitable
lay women who devote their lives to
this work.
Another bright record in the annals
of our nurseries is the gallant and
successful fight they have waged
against the PROSECUTING influences per.
petually at work among the poor
Catholics of foreign nationality. II
has taken no small degree of moral
courage to compete for the possession
of our Catholic children, when all the
odds of every possible material advan
tage lay in the opposite camp. Since
the field of the Day Nurseries lies
among the very needy, it follows that
the possession of unlimited wealth
becomes in the hands of non Catholics
q most effective inducement to per
suade the weak-minded to apostacy
1t is true that many non Catholics en-
gagged in works of benevolence among
the poor have assured the public that
they make it rule to conduct their
labors on non-sectarian lines.
However honestly they may try to
live up to this negative ideal, expert
ence has shown that consciously OIL
unconsciously their influence is very
apt to be not only non-Catholic, but
even anti-Catholic and impresses it.

difference which demoralizes them
and to safeguard the former from
apostacy, that our Day Nurseries have
put forth some of their noblest and
most successful efforts; and it is con
selling to note how often the Catholic
mother gladly and bravely chooses to
take her children to a poor, bare
crowded little Catholic institution
rather than to any other if only she
can find one to go to.

PALM SUNDAY AT

VIM. F. Markoe.)

Passing into ST. Paul's spacious
Cathedral on Palm Sunday from the
outer world where the very atmos-
phere seemed laden with strife and
discord and the news of nation ris
ing against nation" portending the
dissolution of modern civilization,
seemed like stepping from the TWEEN
tieth into the thirteenth century,
when, according to an able writer,
there was one common creed, one
ritual, one worship, one sacred
language, one Church, q single code
of manners, uniform scheme of So
ciety, common system of education,
an accepted type OF beauty, a uni
versal art, something like recog-
nized standard OF the Good, the
Beautiful and the True" Both the
eye and the ear were captivated by
beautiful and impressive ceremonies
which carried us still further back,

One of the questions that must be
settled by or after the European war
is the ancient one of who shall con-
troll the Holy Land. Roman, Arab,
Turk and Christian have all settled it's
destiny at various times in the past
to suit themselves, and yet its destiny
remains supremely unsettled Eng
land wants it as a part of an overland
route to the Orient and because of it's
proximity to Egypt. Then there is the
Zionist movement which would make
Jerusalem Jewish nation There is
some reason to believe that the Eng
liSh government Is trying to ride into
control of the Holy Land on the back
of the Jews, so to speak, for the move
ment hts been greatly encouraged in
that country. The rights of weak
peoples being one of the chief plati-
tudes under which the diverse greeds
at the root of the European war are
disguised, the Zionist movement forms
convenient preteXt for England's de-
sire, altho on the part of Jews in all
parts of the world it is undoubtedly
sincere.
That the Jew should have a center
of national life and culture is admit
ted by all. Opponents of the Zionist
movement, however. point out that
there are more Mohammedans and
Christians than Jews in the Holy
Land, and that to make it an essen
TALLY sectarian country would be I'M
fair to them. They also point out that
it is not suitable for colonization by
the Jews or anyone else, the arabic
land being very limited in extent
Most of the Holy Land is a Ipic-
turesque wilderness of rock. desert and
marsh. Then. too, Jewish colonies
there would be the prey of the wan
dering desert Arabs, who would in all
probability ultimately conquer them
What the Holy Land needs is a strong
government under which its diverse
peoples may enjoy religious and civil
liberty.

THE WORST IS OVER.

In view of the new position occu-
pied by New York and the country
at large in the world of business, says
The Wollman Review, it is EVIDENT
that nothing can stand In the way of
continued national prosperity except
failure to grasp opportunities. The
most serious period of the adjustment
of the country to war has practically
passed.
On the whole, the administrations
policy that the staying power of bust
ness must be maintained for effective
prosecution of the war has been OBJ
served in the formulation of special
legislation. For the burdens of war
the country is better equipped than
any other nation in history, and for
the opportunities OF peace it stands
ready with wealth and energy stimu-
lated by the conditions of war.
The interest accruing on it's vast
loans and its huge credit balances in
