Your friend,
One of the clippings enclosed con-
tains an excerpt from the Des Moines
paper with reference to lectures at
the camp, which is reprinted below.
Father Noonan Lectures at Camp.
The Rev. John T. Noonan delivered
an address on the development of will
power at the knights of Columbus
building at Camp Dodge last night.
Father Noonan is the state chaplain
of the knights of Columbus and is
| pastor of st. Anthony's church of Des
| Moines.
More than 1000 boys in uniform
were in attendance, many accom-
panied by their fathers and relatives.
Father Noonan paid tribute to the
| development of the will power at West
Point and Annapolis.
Obey With Free Will.
He told the boys that they must
obey the commands of their superior
officers, not in the spirit of servitude,
but with a free, powerful, generous
| will.
He dwelt on the fact that the
| stronger will a man possesses, if d.
rected along the proper lines, the bet
ter soldier he will be, and the more
effective part he will play in the &C.
complishment of the lofty aims our
| country has in view. He referred to
| meditation as a means of concentrat-
ing mans activities and enhancing
| will power.
He dwelt on the fact that we act,
not by impulse or by instinct alone,
but at the direction of well-governed
| will, and exhorted the boys to perform
| their duties fearlessly and unreluc-
| family, bearing always in mind the
! ideal of the true patriot, to serve God
and country.

other served for dancing purposes.

NOTES FROM DE LA SALE IN.
STITUTE,

That the Ireland Literary Society
is by no means bankrupt was clearly
shown when Ambrose Kivus read the
report of the treasurer last Friday at
a special meeting held for purely
business purposes. James Ryan
brought on miniature tempest when
he put before the house motion to
have all the money collected from
the members given to charity. Argu-
ments pro and con filled the air. Some
of the less self-sacrificing members
had visions of banquets and outings
to be financed from the Golfers of the
society, but through the eloquent ap-
peal of Charles Celusnak these visions
faded away and the resolution was
unanimously adopted.
Theodore Wiegand, secretary of the
society, who has been sick during the
last week, is recovering rapidly. This
is good news to his classmates. 1t is
earnestly hoped that at the next meet
ing the bright smile of Theodore will
add to the already mirthful spirit so
characteristic of the Ireland Literary
Society.
The Azarias Literary Society, COM
posed of the students of &C.," was
organized last Friday. Ansel Ferlaak,
acting president, called the meeting
to order at 1870. Keen interest was
manifested in the election of officers.
The following young men were the
successful candidates: Malcolm Josie,
president; Bernard Kardong, vice.
president; Ernest Flemming, secre.
tary; Raymond Erpelding, treasurer;
Joseph DeMers, critic; Adrian John,
son, sergeant-at-arms.

CATHOLIC INSTITUTIONS
GET HALF MILLION

The Supreme Court of Illinois has
handed down decision declaring
that the juvenile court has right to
commit minors to Catholic institu-
tions and require the county to pay
for the board of children sent to such
homes. The question was raised by
w. H. Dunn in February, 1916. Judge
Jesse A. Baldwin upheld the issue
raised in the bill, which was entitled,
"W. H. Dunn VS.. The Chicago Home
for Girls and the County of Cook. +"
Assistant States Attorney Hogan ap-
pealed the case. The decision in ia
vor of the juvenile court means that
the 100000 which the county has
withheld while the bill was pending
will now be paid to the Catholic in.
