DE LA SALLE INSTITUTE.

An interesting and instructive pro-
gram was rendered last Friday after
noon by the Ireland Literary Society.
One of the features of the program
was a spirited debate, so hotly con-
tested that the judges found much diff
ficulty in deciding as to the winning
team. The subject under discussion
was: Resolved, That fire is more de-
structive than water. The negative
side was upheld by James Gilbertson
and John Schuten; Ambrose Kevus
and Francis Heck defended the aftir-
NATIVE. The negative side won.
Halloween was the theme of a nice
ly developed essay by August Klein.
Roman Gerlich believing that a little
nonsense now and then is relished by
the best of men, entertained the So
ciety with humorous stories which
gave vent to the eXuberant mirth kept
in check all week by the stern, yet
gentle hand of the professor. Then
the sweet harmonics SO beautifully ex::
ecuted by the ingenious violinist, Jas.
Knott, came like a soothing zephyr
and waited those gentle boyish spirits
to ethereal realms and lulled them to
sweet repose. :

Quinn 0'Brien Warns
ireland Against, Teutons
Chicago Attorney Voices Sentiment Of
Irish Americans in Reference
to Germany.

At reception rendered to T. p.
O'Connor and Richard Hazelton, the
Irish members of Parliament, in Chi
cago, Quinn O'Brien, the we'll known
attorney, closed his address with the
following eloquent passages:
Most Of us here are of Irish lineage
and proud of our pedigree, but we
are prouder far of our American birth
and citizenship. Whatever may have
been our respective predictions and
,preiudices before our nation was
drawn into this war, we now view
all questions through but one lens,
and that is the clear lens of unmixed
Americanism. Germany is our fierce
and treacherous foe. She struck us
in the back and seeks to strangle
democracy and our dearest rights.
She must be crushed or we will be
and all progress with us. We have
accepted the gauge of battle and have
registered vow in heaven never to
sheath our swords till we have beaten
Prussian piracy to its knees and
stamped on it's brow the brand of Cain.
While this war lasts Germany's ene-
mics are our friends and allies. and
Germany's friends are our foes, wheth-
er they be in foreign lands or at dom
estic firesides, whether they kneel In
trenches to fire on us or kneel IN

pews to pray with us.
Take back this message to your
compatriots who have struggled so
long and loyalty for Irish freedom;
the Irish in America like the Irish in
Ireland and wherever Celtic courage
and caution abound, say beware of
the Teutons bearing gifts," and espe-
cially when in their distress they
would lead you to high mountains and
tempt you with proffered kingdoms.
Most of us Americans of Irish stock
sprang from refugees of famine who
were scourged to these hospitable
shores by English cruelty. Sturdy sires
and sainted mothers who knew the
woes that martyrs feel consecreated
us to freedom, imbued us with holy
horror by oppression in every form
and taught us to pray, God save Ire
land and bless benefcent America" ;"
We have longed for the day when Erin,
in the words of Emmet, might take
her rightful place among the nations
of the eAfth,' but we declare it be-
fore God and man that rather than
have Ireland receive her charter of
freedom from the bloody hands of the
ravishers of Belgium, at the expense
of America and humanity, we would
thousand times prefer that she would
suffer the fate of the Lusitania in the
ocean sepulchre of German treachery

FEIN PLoTTE
Thomas Welsh Arrested for connec
ton With Sim Fein Propa-
ganda.

New York, Nov. 8. = Channels
through which Sim Fein leaders in
Ireland have been communicating with
their agents in the United States have
been disclosed, secret service authori-
ties believe, through the arrest of
Thomas Welsh, British subject, who
waived examination yesterday on a
charge of violating the trading with
the enemy act when arraigned before
United States commissioner.
That Welsh is identified with Sim
Fein propaganda was learned from, a
letter which he attempted to destroy
when arrested at the ships pier, ac-
cording to an assistant United States
district attorney. Welsh came to the
United States aboard a steamship
which arrived here on Sunday, having
shipped as a member of it's crew.
The letter has been pieced together
and federal authorities say it tells Of
Sim Fein activities both in Ireland and
the United States.
According to Chief Flynn the infor.
nation resulting from Welsh's arrest
will be of value to authorities investi-
eating Sim Fein plots on the other
side as we'll as those tracing the sup
posed connection of a number of Amer
ican residents with these intrigues.
Pending this court action" federal
authorities refused to tlivulge the con-
tents of the letter found in Welsh's
possession.

The Irish Rebellion

AppeaIs to Passion and Prejudice Will
Not Solve Ireland's Complex Prob
len7s-Authority of Leo XIII and St.
Thomas Cited to Show When Rev
olution Is Justifiahle-Present Stua-
tion Does Not Call for Such an Ex-
treme Measure, Says Bishop of Kill
dare.
Most Rev. DR.. Foley, Bishop OF Kill
dare and Leighlin, has confirmed over
400 children attending the schools OF
the parish of Mas.
His Lordship expressed great salts
faction with the manner in which
children had been prepared for the
sacrament. He congratulated the par
ents, and paid tribute to the nuns
of the convent schools, whose work
had been so successfully carried on
under the managership of their worthy
and Jealous pastor, the Very Rev.
Father Norris, who had the welfare of
the people and the children of the
parish so much at heart.
Political Controversy.
There was another subject on which
his Lordship said he felt it was neces-
sary to say few words. He meant
the political controversy which for
some time had divided their people in
all parts of the country, and driven
them into camps, which, he regretted
to say, were bitterly opposing one an
other. He supposed that from the ma
ture of the subject, which lent itself
so readily to loose rhetoric, it was
only to be expected that there should
be grave and even irreconcilable diff
ferences to discuss it; but, as far
as he had been able to form an opin-
ion, he did not think that abuse of
the lowest kind, or appeals to passion
and unreasonable prejudices were cal
culated to elucidate the many complex
problems that were involved in con-
troversies of the kind. 1t was not for
him in such a place or on such an
occasion to enter into a discussion of
any of the purely political aspects of
the controversy, which, if not con.
Quoted in spirit different to that
which had hitherto prevailed, would
generate and rerpetuate feelings of a
most uncharitable and un-Christian
kind.
He was there and then concerned
solely with the aspects of the subject
which seemed to him to be likely to
lead to breaches of the Divine Law
which, by his Office as Bishop, he was
bound to expound, and, as far as pos
sible, to enforce. He would therefore
warn all those who took part In that
controversy, which was likely to wax

hibernian Halls
Association
MONDAY NIGHTS MEETING At ST.
PAUL WELL ATTENDED,.
Healthy Condition Of the Finances Of
Organization Of Secretary
M. J. Moran Presented-State Presi-
dent Doyle Addresses Meeting.

In response to the cards of invita-
tion sent out generally to the member
ship of the Ancient Order of Hiber-
mans of Ramsey County, over two hun
dred and fifty members assembled at
last Monday nights meeting at st.
Paul to consider the affairs of the Hi
bernian Halls Association
The Association was organized sew
eral years ago for the purpose of TAX
ing steps to erect central building
for the accommodation of all the divi-
sions of St. Paul. In addition to four
or five meeting rooms the building was
intended to be provided with gym
nasium, auditorium, rest room, and
other clubhouse features.
For this purpose a plot of land COIL
sisting of two building lots was pur.
chased. 1t is located on 1glehart Ave-
nue. about two blocks from the State
Capitol. The original purchase price
was $1,000, all of which has been paid.
1t is estimated that land is now worth
about $4,000. There is small tene.
ment on the premises which brings in
enough in rentals to keep the taxes
paid on the property.
These facts were brought out in the
report of the secretary, Mr.. M. j. Mo-
ran, covering the past two years. T.
j. kelliher presided and contributed
to the discussion of the affairs Of the
organization as did also State Presi-
dent T.. J. Doyle, A. j. Mccarthy and
Rev. Father Murray of st. Thomas Col
lege.
AS a result of the debate a resolu-
tion was passed to bring up the mat
ter of securing a building fund, before
the next meeting of the Ramsey Coun-
ty Council. 1t was suggested that the
Council might order a levy upon each
member of the order in the county as
a nucleus for the larger sum which is
to be raised.
Other measures, too. are on foot to
get the necessary financial support for
the scheme, which il is now apparent
is about to culminate in successful
venture that will rebound to the credit
OF Ramsey County Hibernians.

Across the chaos of conflicting opin-
ions which marks the world of secular
education today, sounds a clear note
of warning and recall, that of the
ideals of Catholic education. These
ideals are founded on truth, and ded-
icated to progress, but progress along
conservative, carefully thought out
lines. This note is sounded in the
introduction to the Annual Report of
the Catholic Educational Association,
just issued, and is echoed in many of
the important papers therein embod-
led. To quote from the introduction:
"The confusion in the educational
work of the country is obvious to all
observers, and educators are laboring
earnestly to bring more harmony and
order into the work. It is not i'm
probable that stable and we'll or
dered system of secular education will
develop in the course of the next few
years. The conditions which now pre-
vail are largely the result Of hap
hazard experiment, and compromise in
meeting pressing exigencies. But this
is. not to be marvelled at since the
growth of our country has been so
rapid and unusual that there has been
neither time nor opportunity to study
the problems adequately before ap-
plying proper solutions.
''The difficulties in our Catholic edu-
cational system arise from these same
conditions, and from the fact that in
many instances our educational work
has had to follow in important re-
spects the lines laid down in secular
education. In the conditions that pre-
ways desirable. The rapid changes
of conditions might easily make legis-
lation hindrance. rather than help;
and until an educational system of
some stability grows up in the co'ln-
try, it seems to be advisable that edu-
cational adjustments should work
themselves out with some degree of
fexibility so that they may fit 4aa.e
changes of conditions.
"The Catholic Educational Associa-
tion is recognized by Catholic educa-
tors as a medium that has advantages
of peculiar Importance in these times,
and it's availability as means Of
dealing with present-day conditions is
fully appreciated. 1t is perhaps the
most suitable means of dealing with a
situation that is complex and confus-
ing, and is ever presenting new phases
for consideration. 1t is a means by
which Catholic educators can come
to common understanding and can
help to solve their own problems, and
help themselves"
This year the fourteenth annual
meeting was held at Buffalo, and there
was general interest in the papers
presented, which covered a diversity
of topics, all related to .present-day
problems in which educators are so
vitality concerned. The Association
holds meetings in general, as we'll as
departmental, and the papers read be-
fore each department are pertinent to
the problems of that particular depart
ment. There were two papers this
year presented before the General
meetings. Rev. William j. Bergin, G.
S. ", of st. Viator College, Bourbon.
The Irish standard., 1917-11-10

Halls, ILL.,, spoke on Inc CONSERVATION
of Our Educational Resources" in
which he discussed the multiplicity of
small Catholic colleges, as an evil
dence of waste in Catholic educational
methods, and suggested as a remedy
fewer colleges and closer alignment
of effort among those in charge of such
institutions. In his discussion of
Father Bergin's paper, Bishop Shahan
cordially commended it's many good
points, but called attention to the fact
that the small Catholic college has an
important place in the scheme of Cath
olic educational endeavor, and in the
history of the Church in this country
has more than justified it's existence.
The other paper was on Standards
in Education" by Rev. Patrick ]. Nc
Cormick, S. T. L., Phi. d., Professor
of Education at the Catholic Univer-
sity of America, Washington, D. c..
Every age, even the most remote, he
showed, had it's standards in educa
tion, almost as various as today, al
though present-day needs seem to
make standardization more of mod
ern problem, and one worthy of the
close study of Catholic educators.
College Department Papers.
A number of worthwhile papers may
be noted among those presented be-
fore the meetings of the College De-
partment, and while space forbids an
extended notice of each one, all are
we'll worth perusal and study. Rev.
Henry Spalding, S. j., has thought
full paper on differentiation of Col
lege Professors" as also Rev. Eugene
Burke, c. S. c., on the interesting
topic, "The Teaching Of English"
which he handles in all admirable man.
ner. Sociology and Economics" by
Rev. J. w. Mcclure, G. S. w.; Con
tent of the Curriculum in Economics"
by Frank O'Hara, Phi. D.; college
Biology in It's Relation to Secondary
School and Life" by Professor Will
liam j. McAuliffe; and Textbooks for
College History" by Brother Bernar-
dine, F.. S. c., were some Of the pa
pers noted, though that of Rev. Henry
Woods, S. j., on PHILOSOPHY i'll the
College, was probably the most inn
portant paper read before this De-
partment.
At the meeting Of the representa-
tives of Catholic women'5 colleges,
Sister Mary Ruth, 0. S. d., presented
an authoritative disquisition on THE
Curriculum Of the Catholic Woman's
College in Relation to the Problems
of Modern Life a paper which was
carefully discussed by Mary a. NAL
10y, A. M. Ph. D., and Rev. j. H., Ryan,
D. D.
Rev. Francis S. Betten, S. j., had
some good suggestions in his paper
"a Catholic photography of History"
showing the necessity Of such a his
tory and the nature OF the books which
it should include.
"Eow to Advertise Catholic Col
leges' was discussed ably by Rev.
B. p. O'Reilly, S. NJ.
Papers of Parish School Department.
Practical and to the point seem to
be the most salient characteristics of
all the papers read before the Parish
School Department meetings. Supple

Why read, what to read, and how Ito
inculcate a love for reading, a gift,
he said, considered by some, among
the greatest that God can give us.
