daughters. His years on the bench,
he said, had convinced him of the
need of definite religious teaching.
This is how he describes the choice
of a school:
81 consulted my old partner, the
Judge. Send 'em to a Catholic con-
vent he growled Enthusiastically
Sisters take care of girls right. That's
their business. They're not working
for the money. And GLORY to God"
work is the only kind where the other
fellow has chance to sit in the game
Curiously, enough, his words brought
back to me my wife's remark about
the ethical standards of Catholic con-
vents. I took a mental review of the
women in our town whom | knew to
be convent graduates, comparing them
with women knew to be the products
of other methods of education. With
few exceptions, the balance stood
overwhelmingly in favor of the con-
vent-bred women. I'll send Them I
said.
"My girls have been for two years
in one of the largest Catholic converts
in the West. During their first visit
home I studied them keenly, looking
for evidences of any acquired traits I
might consider undesirable. I did not
find them. l had at least expected re-
preston; but l find my girls as heart
lily wholesome as ever. They are do
ing well with their work. know their
moral standards are being fused.
know they are safe. And, although
am a lonely, middle-aged man in big
house for nine months of the year,
am willing to make the sacrifice in
the certainty that am doing my duty
to my daughters in giving them the
best kind of an education for their
needs. For I have lived long enough
to see that the great need Of America
is men and women of moral strength
and high standards; and I can see
that these are qualities the convent
school is giving to my girls"
There you have a fine tribute to the
convent school. At the same time it
is a tribute to the whole system of
Catholic education. And yet is it not
strange, sometimes you will run across
Catholics who will smile rather con,
descendingly at the idea of educating
their girls in a convent school, They
ought to learn lesson from the non
Catholic patrons Of such schools.

1.-THE Red Cross was prepared for
war" says Leo Arnstein. vice chair
man of the military relief commit
tee. New York chapter. American Red
Cross. ITO the general indictment
that the American nation was and
still is unprepared for war there is
one notable exception. the base hos
pital service of the American Red
Cross. When war first broke out in
Europe and far-sighted men and
women saw that this country might
ultimately become involved, the di-
rectors of the Red Cross began to pre-
pare on large scale for such an emer-
gency. Up and down the land went
organizers urging public spirited citi-
zens in cities all over the country to
establish units and raise funds for
hospital equipment. AS this meant
in each instance the raising from from
$4,000 to 100000 for something
whose usefulness was in the minds of
the general public very problematical
the task was no light one.

Bitter oppositions were met with.
Why contribute such a big sum to be
tied up in something that will rot in
storage?' was the burden Of the pro-
es.
"But the workers persisted. AS a
result, when this country declared war

already organized forty-four base hos

There is much popular misconcep-
ton regarding the base hospital.
Many think of it as huge tent or
series of tents containing little besides
cots and emergency equipment. Such
a notion more nearly describes the
field hospital, which is an entirely
different affair, located two or three
miles back of the firing line and used
