who deem It a crime to cherish the
memories Of childhood or revere
the clay that covers the bones Of
our fathers. When it is a question
Of social allegiance or civil author
ity there is but one country Amer
lea, one flag and that is the Star
Spangled Banner.
Apart from the solemn duty I'M
posed on us by our religion should
not we cherish America, live for
America, die for America. Amer
lea is the guardian OF our welfare
and our life. In her we live, move
and have our being, nothing we can
hope for, nothing we can expect OF
wish for in this life hut is bound up
with her life and prosperity. She
has been prodigal OF the best gifts
in her store set forth before mer
by the Supreme Creator. She ha:
enriched us as no other nation has
enriched its sons. She has endowed
us with political and religious free
dom in the exercise of our religion
to a degree seldom shown by any
nation under the skies. The Cath
Ole church owes unlimited graft
tude to America, this debt Catholics
will repay even unto death.
Catholics must love America be-
cause her democracy is no sham,
Its flag has never been stained by
injustice to its citizens within or to
weakers nations without. There are
others who call themselves democ-
racies but often their flags are
stained by conhscation, oppression
Of weaker peoples and coercion OF
their wills. Not so with the flag OF
America because she alone Of all
nations recognizes the law Of Cod
and not the law that says might
makes right"
Now coming down to the partic-
ulars, What is our duty in this pres
ent crisis? Go ask the bones oil
your fathers lying all round this
church.
Then you will answer: The same
loyalty and love that the people OF
Bryantown church gave to George
Washington and Charles Carroll
OF Carrelton in 1776.
The same loyalty and support
they gave to the Governor Of Mary
land and the President OF the
United States in 1912 when the
English invaded these shores anc
burnt the capitol. The same 10y
atty they gave in 1876. The same
strength they gave in 1865. The
same they gave in 1898.
That same loyalty, love and sup
port we the people OF the old anc
venerable congregation of St
Mary's Church, Bryantown, mind
full of our duty and the valor OF
our fathers from 1875 till to-day
That same loyalty and love we now
offer to the Governor Of Maryland
and the President of the United
States. Our PRAYER is, Lord save
our Republic.

able causes are Just as dead as il
they had been killed by bombs from
aeroplanes or by the submarine
method. We must protect our
selves against our ignorance.
Sometimes there is a feeling
among school officials that I'm
provement Associations are at
tempting to run the schools" This
is not their idea or purpose, they
wish only to see that the schools do
their duty. After all, it is the beo-
pie who pay the taxes and who
really oaoH the schools and no school
officer who IS doing his job resents
reasonable advice, questioning or
assistance. This sort of effort is
by no means meddling. 1t is not
probable that there is any group of
superintendents that has all the
knowledge and all the wisdom so
that they may do their work with
out seeking advice. They cannot in
any franlness protest that they do
not want help. And it certainly
seems reasonable to assume that
the women who have brought the
children into the world and who
have had all the care OF them for
the first six years of their life, and
a large share of their care while
they are attending school, might
have a fairly good notion of what
should be done for them in the
schools. If they haven't, then we
should start right away to hold
schools for the mothers.
Every schoolhouse already in
existence should be put into such
condition that there will be no dan
ger to the lives or health of the
children. The places where chill
dren are supposed to be prepared
for life should not be places where
the seeds are sown for an early
death they should be places to pro-
mote strength, not places to make
them invalid" some call them
invalids. The most important thing
is the establishment OF health and
of right health habits. If a child
dies we haven't done it much good
after ALL
The first consideration is proper
ventilation,-the proper kind OF
heat. | myself have suffered forty
years from a malady contracted in
school when one side of the room
was baking and the other freezing.
| The dust is another problem,-both
he dust from the blackboard and
that rising from the mud tracked in
by the children. The cloak room
must receive attention, and care
must be taken to see that children
suffering from any disease do not
hang their wraps near those of the
other children.
The desks should be comfortable
and made to fit the children. No
| grown person would endure for one
Hour the discomfort that hundreds
of children endure day after day il
| some schoolhouses. If our money
is to be spent effectively the chill
dren should be given good condi-
tons under which to work. The
| best work cannot be done under
discomfort. Many boy is unruly
because he is miserable.

ADDRESS OK SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT
ASSOCIATIONS By
DR.. P. P. CLAYTON.

During my student days at the
Johns Hopkins University, | had
dreams Of being an electrical engi
neer and Of Harvesting Niagara
Falls, but now ! would rather di-
rect the great energy of women in
the United States who have some
degree of leisure and wealth to en-
able them to do the things they like,
than to harness all the water power
in the country. 1t has been said,
"The eternally womanly lifts up
ward and onward" and the impor-
tant thing is for it to know to or
ganize itself and what is upward
and onward"
The most fundamental enter
prise in democracy is the education
of the children. Everything in de
mocracy waits on the education of
the children-industrial advance,
social purity; political righteousness
and whatever else goes to make UP
the social order. The present war
is a war OF grown-up men and wo-
men, and is no concern of the chill
dren, in this greatest, strongest and
wealthiest nation the world has ever
known. We must keep clean OF the
folly of "babv beef" not only in the
trenches, but in our industries and
on our farms.
The children may do many things
to help in this crisis, but the things
they do to help must be made edu-
cational. There will be years Of
peace when the war is over, whether
it last little while or a long time,
and when it is over the leadership
of the world will have passed to us.
1t comes a generation or two ear
lier than it would have come in the
natural course of events, because
of the wreck OF Europe. There will
be demand for educated men and
women, men and women of scien-
tihc knowledge and a high degree
Of intelligence such as never has
been demanded of us before, and
we must not let anything prevent
us from being prepared for the du-
ties and responsibilities devolving
upon us when the war is over.
| am reminded by your program
this morning Of the beginnings Of
the School Improvement movement
in the Southern States, when it was
proposed that suitable motto for
an interested in the children and
their schools would be Health,
Comfort, Beauty, Attractiveness. "
A suggestion was Immediately made
that if a school is healthful, COM
Portable and beautiful fas your Art
Chairman has also just said so
well) it viii inevitably be attract
i've. OF course that is true. In
this motto ! find the answer to the
question as to what School I'm
provement Associations can do for
the rural schools. When 100000
children die annually as a result of
lack Of care and proper sanitation,
the blame should be laid not upon
Providence, but upon our own I'M
byo9ideHee. Because a few hun
dred men and women and some
children were put to death on the
sea by representatives Of another
country, the Government has issued
a $1,000, 100000 bond with the pur-
pose Of assuming all the responsible
tiles and troubles of war. The hun
dreds OF thousands OF children who |
died in Our country from prevent
