Society Of St. Gregory
RESOLUTIONS PASSED URGING
LIBRARIES TO OBTAIN WORKS
IN CATHOLIC CHURCH MUSIC.

,8ts b
The convention of the Society of
st. Gregory was brought to most
successful close on June %, in Gin
cinnati, Ohio. The afternoon session
of Wednesday, June 81, was held in
the Hotel Gibson at>4 o'clock, when
a splendid attendance participated
in the transaction of a large volume
of business. The constitution was
amended to provide that only cler-
gymen shall be eligible to. the
offices of president and vice-presi-
dent of. the Society. The following
resolutions were unanimously adopted:
81. That the Society publish in its
official organ, The Catholic Choirmas-
ter. a list of compositions for church
use, which in it's opinion are worthy
and proper to use in connection with
divine service.
2. That the use Of the st. Basil
Hymnal be considered contrary to the
spirit of the 'Motu Proprio," and an
tagonistic to the purposes of the So
ciety of st. Gregory; and that all
members be requested to. remove this
hymnal from their Libraries and pre-
vent, as far as possible, its further
fuse.

point to have public libraries in their

Compare these figures with those of
our Catholic schools where there are
about 100000 pupils. The cost per
pupil in the public schools is forty
dollars year. In our Catholic
schools it is about twelve dollars. This
is borne by parents who also contrib-
ute their share toward the support
of the public schools. Were we to es-
innate the cost on the public school
basis per capita, we could claim to
save about $50,00O,00O a year to the
country by our Catholic schools. AS
it is we actually tax ourselves about
100000 per year to maintain them.
The papers informed us the other
day that the Episcopal Church mem
bers have already subscribed $4,000
600 of a $5,000,000 fund for the pen
sioning of retired ministers. The
Methodists have raised fund of 49,
100000 for the same purpose. These
items appear large, but they are
deemed notable enough for publica-
ton by the daily papers. Taken to-
| gether they do not equal the amount
contributed for education by Catho-
lies each year. The pension funds are
to be raised only once; the support OF
Catholic schools goes on year after
year. The buildings and equipment
reach a figure that would make Protes.
tant endowments seem small indeed
This speaks well indeed for the gen.
crosby of American Catholics. Few
equal them in the sacrifices. they make
for their religion.

FAMOUS FRENCH OFFICER LIES
. BURIED IN CONVENT GARDEN
IN PARlS-LAFAYETT RANKED
AS A NATIONAL HERO IN AMER
IcAN HEARTS.

Lafayette left a deeper impression
upon the United States than did any
other soldier from a foreign soil who
offered his sword to the cause of
American liberty. Indeed, as a ma
tional figure and national hero he
may be said to stand next to the illus
trious Washington, to whom he was
friend, counselor and companion in
arms. There is, therefore, a Lafay-
cite tradition which readily finds new
adherents in, the present movement
/ for a nationwide celebration of the
anniversary of the birth of the gallant
French marquis who left home and
family and all the comforts and lux
ury which came from exalted rank in
order to follow the destiny of the
Thirteen Colonies.
Although the American people in
this generation has not as lively a
sense of appreciation of the great
services of Lafayette as it had in the
earlier years of the republic, there are
not wanting reminders and memorials
LOT the French nobleman. He had
| come in contact with the people of
lall parts of the country, and by his
travels had left an impress even upon
remote hamlets. Records of him are
kept in the archives of many of the
old American families. There are
scores of the descendants of the bellies
of those days who cherish the tradi-
lions that once the young nobleman
danced with their great-grandmother.
After the War of the Revolution,
Lafayette returned to France, and in
1874 revisited the United States. He
was received with enthusiasm and
hailed as national hero. He went
Through the throes of the French
Revolution and fought the battles OF
his own country, and in 1924, when he
was sixty-seven years old, he again
visited the United States, accompa-
MED by his son, George Washington
Lafayette, and made a triumphal
progress throughout the United
i States.

FOR OUR SOLDIERS
THE LITTLE BADGE OF THE
SACRED HEART AT THE
FRONT.

In France so great has been the de-
mand from the soldiers at the front
for the little emblems of the Sacred
Heart on the national colors, that it
is almost impossible to keep them
supplied. Testimony of the multiplied
evidences of help and protection to
those who wear them, of the zeal
and faith which the little badge in
cites, is frequently given in letters
from the front. Above all, this badge
is carried that it may recall to the
wearer the love of Jesus Christ, our
Saviour, and teach him frequently
to pledge loyalty to his divine Re
deemer..
The little badge has been instru-
mental in organizing groups of Cath.
Ollie soldiers and officers devoted to
the Sacred Heart, who pledge them
selves:
1. Never to use irreverently the
name of God or of His Son, Jesus
Christ.
2. To recite the Act of Contri
ton daily.
8. To wear the badge of the Sacred
Heart.
A. To foster devotion to the Sacred
Heart.
S. To receive holy communion on
the first Friday of the month.
The little badges of the Sacred
Heart that have meant and are
meaning SO much for the French
soldiers, are now being made up in
our own national colors. 1t should
be our happy duty to see That oul
Catholic soldiers near and dear ones
and friends be supplied With these
lemblems.

L LAFAYETTE IN AMERICA

How many know that the United
States sent earth to be mingled with
the soil of France when it received
his coffin?"
Every Fourth of July the Sons of
the American Revolution renew the
United States flag that flies over the
tomb. The tomb is in the convent
garden of the nuns of Perpetual Ador-
ation-the same garden that gave
refuge to Jean Vatican, in Victor
Hugo's LES Miserables." The ceme-
terry is surrounded by walls and con-
tains two rows of tombs that belong
to distinguished families. Among
them is that of the De Noailles-the
family of Madame de Lafayette
some members of which were. guillo-
tined during the Reign of Terror.
Madame de Lafayette desired to re-
pose near them, and thatswish of hers
decided the burial place of her hus-
band.
During all these years the nuns
have watched and prayed over these
graves. They, in turn, have protect
ed the nuns, for, when the edict went
forth that expelled the religious COM
munities from France, the nuns of
Perpetual Alteration particularly USE
less from the point of view of the
French government-were permitted
to remain and keep their vigil over
the graves of the martyrs of liberty,
equality and fraternity Some say
that the French government was infiu-
enced in its action by the flag that
floats over Lafayette's grave-the
Stars and Stripes.

College Of St. Thomas

past and present. are enrolled and
alumni of the College are to be: found
in every Officers Reserve Camp
throughout the country.
Preparing for Priesthood.
While st. Thomas is training young
men for the service of their country
it is also doing it's part in training
students for the service of the
Church. Indeed, not the least graft
flying feature of the College is the
large number of students who are
preparing themselves to enter the st.
Paul Seminary. Last year upwards of
one hundred of the boys and young
equipping themselves in one class or
another ultimately for the priesthood.
There is reason to hope that as the
years pass, and this work develops,
st. Thomas will not only recruit the
ranks of the clergy in the Archdiocese
of st. Paul, but also contribute can
didates to the priesthood of other
dioceses. In every parish there are
boys who in growing numbers are
turning their eyes to the sanctuary,
and who find in st. Thomas an OPP
portunity of fulfilling their holy am
bition. o.
The progress made by st. Thomas
in courses and equipment has earned
recognition at the hands of many
Universities. 1t is recognized as an
institution of, full collegiate rank by
the University Of Minnesota. 1t is
accredited to the North Central Assoc
citation of Colleges, an utilization which
opens to its students the doors of
every University and College in
eighteen states. It's credits are also
honored in various Eastern Universe
ties and at West Point. The utmost
care has been taken in the selection
of the staff. Priests and laymen are
required to have made postgraduate
courses, and only distinguished grad
yates Of the best Universities are
aggregated to the growing faculty in
the Collegiate Department.
The prospects of ST. Thomas for
the coming year look bright. Military
schools are growing rapidly in popu
larity. Every year the work they are
doing is better understood and more
intelligently appreciated. 1t is seen
that they combine with careful train
ing in academic branches a training
which is generally neglected in the
home and in the class room. Now
that universal military training is
taking shape as well defined posi-
bility, parents will look more an6
more to military schools to give theil
sons in safe surroundings the training
which will fit them to assume respon
sibility when they take their place il
the ranks of the army.
From certain provisions in bills al
ready drafted it is inferred tha
should universal military training
come, the Government will make due
allowance for the time spent in mill
| tary schools.
With it's spacious grounds, extend
ing over fifty-five acres, it's com
modious modern buildings, it's well
chosen library and well-equippet
laboratories, it's learned and devoted
faculty, it's wise system of instruc
ton and discipline, the College of st
Thomas is rapidly becoming one O
the great educational and religious
forces of America.

Catholics and Education
WHAT THE CHURCH DOES FOR
RELIGION AND THE NATION
CATHOLICS CONTRIBUTE HUGE
SUMS TO CHURCH.

One of the n1omentous achieve
ments of the year just past is the
reaching of the billion dollar mark in
expenditures for education in the
United States. The commissioner OF
education is confident that at least as
much as that was spent in educational
work. There are today more than
20,000,00O children in the public
schools of the United States. This is
costing the nation annually more than
100000, 900, observes the True Voice.

Is it not wrong for a blood relation
TO CHARGE compound interest?

is It NOT wrong TOR piooo reidtio''
to charge compound interest?
No. Why should, in a purely bust
ness transaction, an investment OF
money as a loan to relative not
earn the interest which every savings
bank grants? There may be occasions
when Christian charity may impose a
duty on wealthy relative to come
to the aid of a poorer member of the
family, without insisting on interest
at all. This is especially the case
when unforeseen misfortune befalls a
worthy relative, and there is tno re
course left but an appeal to the
family.

WINTERS WANTS TO SHAKE HANDS WITH
 MAKER OF TANLAC
His Wife Suffered for Years and Was So Weak She Couldn't Hold Out to Sweep a Room

'I've been hoping long time to sec my wife strong and well and I've got my wish at last" said R. l.. Winter, machine operator for the Plains Mills, Macon, and living at Crumps Park, in telling of the benefits his wife has received from Tanlac.
 "For years" he continued, "my wife was in general rundown condi- tion. Even before we were married she never had very good health. She couldn't eat nor sleep to do any good, and was so weak she couldn't hold out to sweep floor; she would have to stop and lean on the broom handle to rest, and she could hardly get through with her housework at all. She was in a very bad condition and suffered all the time some way or other. 1 bought everything in the way of medicine and did all I could trying to get her well, but nothing helped her and she kept getting worse instead of better
 T kept reading and hearing so much about Tanlac l decided to get it for her, and it's the truth if ever told it, before she finished her first bottle she had gained three pounds and was looking like a different woman. 1 don't wonder at so many people praising Tanlac, it deserves to be praised. My wife has been improving ever since she started taking it. She has taken three bottles up to now, and eats anything she wants and sleeps like child. She's gaining in weight and strength all the time, and if she suffers any she never says anything about it. It's the best medicine I ever saw, and she has tried lots of them. I would certainly like to shake the hand of the man who discov- cred Tanlac and tell him how much l appreciate what he has done for my wife"

s NAMES, ALL WRONG,
 FOR "CRAP SHOOTERS
Police Give Out Two Sets of Names, Neither of Which Is Correct-LOcal
 Boys Not Known to Officers.

Bonds of four young white men, ar- rested Saturday night in a room on the second floor of the building at 113 Main street by Night Roundsmen Higgins and Lynn on charges of shooting craps were ordered for feited yesterday when the accused failed to appear for trial in police court.
 Fictitious names were given by the four when arrested. When the cases were called, the charges were the same but the names in the warrants were different from those given out Saturday night by the police, as those given them. And still, the names are said not to be the bona fide names of the men arrested.
 Saturday night they were "C. K. Williams J. B. Sears,' Lee Mat tingly" and Robert Sinkfield." Yes terday, in police court, they were John Ed Herrin," Tom Norris, " "John Rogers and James Welch..'

Cut Flowers Need Ar.

If cut flowers are squeezed into a vase so tightly that the air Is excaud- ed they will! be smothered to death. That is the reason why many bou- quets do not last as long as they should. A wide-mouthed vase is the best kind to use because 1t admits oxygen in plenty. Tall, slender vases are very attractive for long-stemed flowers like carnations, but they have one fault-the water in them becomes warm very quickly, and this warmth is transmitted to the flowers, causing them to wilt. The water in vases or this kind should be changed twice n day.
