WHERE SHALL WE EDUCATE OUR
BOYS AND GIRLS.

The reopening of the scholastic
season brings up anew the important
question of selecting the schools,
seminaries, colleges or universities
for the training and discipline of
our legions of boys and girls, observes
the Irish Standard. This is a matter
of grave concern both to parents and
children, for on the choice of school
may hinge the whole course of the
future of the young student whose
mind is in that plastic period of for
nation wherein it is acutely RESPONSE
BILE to the influences of environment.
A few weeks ago Archbishop Prem
dergast of Philadelphia stated the case
of the Catholic school in an exhaus-
tive thesis that might well be read by
those who are confronted with the
problem of making a choice between
the religious and secular educational
institutions.
In a mastery elucidation of the
subject he points out the need of put
ting the training of our youth upon a
religious basis. and he has fortified
his argument with some startling cita-
lions from non-Catholic sources, such
as the Episcopalians, the Lutherans,
the Mennonites, and others. Among
many Protestant clergymen and schol-
ars there is a pronounced trend
toward the Catholic position on this
matter, for the evidence is only too
apparent that the secular schools are
sapping the vitals of Christianity and
producing brood of beings that are
so neutral" on the subject of religion
that they can be classed neither as
fish or flesh or good red herring -
1t is an awful fact to contemplate
that about sixty millions of our popu-
lation have no church connection
whatever, and have no regular or
methodical participation in any re,
ligious service, that is to say about
one-half the total population living
outside the sphere of influence of any
organization for divine worship.
A recent canvass of a class of senior
students in an eastern university de-
veloped the fact that over forty pei
cent of them declared they had nc
belief in a personal God, while one
half the remainder replied that they
were holding the matter under ad
visement."
1t cannot be denied that much OF

A GREAT ANNIVERSARY,

From Bishop Faveau, c.. M, comes
news OF a great event which has just
been celebrated in his diocese, name
ly, the three hundredth anniversary
of the first Mass said in Hangchow.
1t hardly seems possible that the
Faith had a foothold in Che Kiang so
long ago, but such is the fact.
The occasion was one of great sol
emnity; not only neighboring bishops
but the principal mandarins and civil
and military authorities were present.
The newspapers gave long accounts
of the ceremony, and it's echo was
carried to the farthest end of the
province, thus contributing to the adj
vance of religion in the district.

THE PROPAGATION OF THE FAITH
SOCIETY FOR 1916.

The report for the United States
Branch of the S. P. F., for the year of
1916 has just appeared. From it we
learn that our Catholics contributed
$515,4S5.19 to the cause of the mis-
sions. This total is about $4,000
larger than that of last year. There
are about 100000 members of the So
ciety in this country, and while this is
a goodly number, if each present mem
Der would secure the enrolment of
one. other person., a large increase in
receipts would be gained.
At the present time the Society is
practically making it possible for 49,
600 missionaries to live. The war has
reduced it's income; simultaneously it
has reduced the missionaries allow

They turn up every time there Is

many as usual where a president
is reelected. But no doubt the

siderably augmented by this ele-

There should be nothing des-
creditable in seeking a post I'M

departments need no end Of good
men. There is a great field there
for systematizing ability. Com
petent judges have always said
that a good organizer could save
many millions Of dollars.
But good organizers fight shy
of government work. The pow
er of form and custom is too ire
mendously strong. If a trained
business executive began to shake
up the dust, there would be a ire
mendous clatter Of dry bones. He
would find himself so tangled up
with precedents and customs and
regulations that he would get lit

But young fellows Of exceptional

They dread the sinister influence

They don't like an employment
where you must work through

get recognition for good work

MACHINE SORTS AND COUNTS
ALL COINS.

William c. Ragalsky, a student
at Columbia University, has just
applied for a patent on a machine
for sorting coins. This would be
useful especially to banks and
large business houses. for coins of
all denominations can be dumped
into its hopper and will be found
few minutes later neatly ar
ranged, cents, nickels, dimes,
quarters, dollars, dollars and
gold pieces, each in their own COM
partment.
The machine looks not unlike a
cash register. 1t is automatic,
being run by electricity. When
coins are poured into it they close
the circuit that sets it going and
sorts the coins. The principle
unon which it works is a combi-
nation Of sorting by size and sort
ing by weight. IF dime, for in
stance. gets stuck between two
nickels and starts on its way with
them towards the ticket compart-
ment it is automatically stopped
and sent back to where it belongs.
Light weight or "bogus" coins
are dropped into a special place,
whence they emerge Immediately.
Mr.. RAJ alsky's machine can be
built in such a way that it will
not merely sort but count the coins
of each denomination and regis
ter the number of an Indicator.
