TROUBLES OF A CORRE-
SPONDENT.

Several weeks ago an article on
education by Rev. Daniel McHugh
appeared in this paper. The writ
er took the stand that parents
and guardians should spare no ex-
pense or sacrifice to ensure an
adequate education for their chill
dren. He urged upon them the
necessity of looking to the future
welfare of these growing men and
women rather than at the earn
ings which the children may at
present be able to bring in.
A correspondent, evidently a
woman, has written lengthy let
ter on the above article. She
takes the stand that too much is
being said on the value of high
school and college education, and
too little on the necessity of help
ing boys and girls who are often
thrown upon their own resources
and deprived of educational adj
vantages.
In the first place, let it be re-
marked that the necessity and
high value of superior education
are apparent from our CORE
.spondent's own experience. She
signs herself, A Grammar School
Graduate, and shows by her let
ter that she has succeeded in life
by dint of hard work and much
personal sacrifice. She is but one
of very large number who, like
Benjamin Franklin, Abraham
Lincoln and a host of others, over
came the handicap of poverty or
slender means and finally forged
ahead through sheer grit and de-
termination. Such persons are
deserving of the very highest en-
comium: such persons frequently
form the very backbone of all
that is of sterling worth in Ger
tain classes of society.
On the other hand, the COM
plant that too much is said in IA
vor of higher education. certainly
falls flat if one considers the com
plexities of business and social
life at the present day. In urging
parents and guardians to spare nc
pains in promoting the education
Of their children, we do not by
any manner of means intend to
belittle the condition of those who
are unable, for one reason or an
other, to avail themselves of edu-
cational opportunities. The in.
tention is simply to point out the
fact that commercial, social and
cultural conditions today require
a high order of trained intelli-
gence. Frequently, it is true, men
and women succeed through sheer
force of intelligence, fortified by
private. study or intensive intel
lectual training IN later life. All
of which goes to show that educa.
tion,I acquired either in high
school and college or in the rough
school of private study, is neces.

Mgr. Kelley of The Extension
Magazine has the following in the
issue: "No editor
dares to hope for quiet life; but
no editor may truthfully say that
his life is an uninteresting one.
The inexplicable vagaries of the
editor are always matched by the
still more inexplicable vagaries Of
his friend, the subscriber, who, if
he cannot write editorials, yet has
learned fairly well how to write
letters. A few months ago, for
example, we were almost con-
signed to eternal perdition for
not writing anything about Ire
land. We wrote something; and
now we have subscribers who
would like to use cudgel on us
for saying so much, and others
who bitterly complain because we
did not say enough to get our
selves into Jail. One suggests, for
our comfort, that Jail is the place
all editors ought to be in anyway.
We must confess that there are
times when we might like to be
therefor protection. :"

LEAD VICAR GENERAL

= - y lbaae5
The many friends of Father Fitz-
gerald in Rapid City, South Dakota,
were agreeably surprised to learn of
his recent appointment to the Vicar
Generalship of the Diocese Of Lead.
Father Fitzgerald was called to Lead
last Monday and at the urgent request
of the Right Reverend Bishop assumed
the trying duties of this office left
vacant by the enlistment of Father
DUDE in the service of his country.
TO crown good work so nobly
commenced was the wish of the
Bishop. His parishioners and friends
may well rejoice, for assuredIy the
honor and the work of Vicar General
will be gracefully assumed and pa
tiently borne BY the beloved pastor Of
the immaculate Conception Church.

The Dublin Review sums up the
position of the two most discussed
figures in the world: In the be-
ginning of the war the critic,
usually acute, observed that there
were two powers which had
missed their opportunity - the
Pope of Rome and the President
of the United States. 1t may be
that some historian will some day
say that these two potentates
were more acquainted with their
proper business, and that a man
might have done worse than turn
to Washington to know how best
to render to Caesar the things
that are Caesar S, and to Rome to
learn in what spirit to render to
God the things that are God s.

Minimum Wage

Congress has passed bill to estab-
lish minimum wages for women and
children employed in the District of
Columbia. There are similar laws in
twelve states, namely, Arizona, Ar
kansas, California, Colorado, Kansas,
Massachusetts,, Minnesota, Nebraska,
Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wis
consin. They are not identical by any
means, but they are all along the
same general lines. The Oregon law
prompted by Rev. Edwin v. O'Hara,
was the one that attracted most atten-
ton and was finally carried to the
Supreme Court of the United States,
where it was sustained.

EASY OF ACCESS
IRELAND A5HoRRED
oSTENTATION MOST DEMO-
CRATIC IN HIS RELATIONS
WITH OTHERS.

During the last ten years of his
life Archbishop Ireland delighted to
spend his leisure time visiting the
institutions in the Twin Cities which
owed their existence to his fostering
care 1t may be said without par
TALLY that he was intensely devoted
to the College of st. Thomas and to
the st. Paul Seminary. Scarcely a
week passed but that the aged prelate
paid an informal visit to these insti-
tutions. On such occasions his spirit
of joviality and his genuinely demo
cratic attitude were most conspicuous.
Although the head of large Archdio-
cese, and in every sense a world
leader, Archbishop John Ireland was
much more accessible, more easy Of
approach, less surrounded with an air
of Importance than some members
even of the lower clergy Ifthere was
one thing that he hated more than
| another it was ostentation and display
when directed towards himself. Thor
oughly democratic in word and action,
he judged men for what they were,
and not for their wealth or position.
Too great man to play the sycophant
before others, he detested and de-
spised this attitude in those who
sought to win his favor Although
obliged to indulge in a personal mat
ter, we may be permitted to say now
that always during his life his strict
Injunction to the editors of The Cath
Ollie Bulletin was that not single
word of encomium or of laudatory ref
erence should ever be made of him
in the columns of this paper. On
important occasions when he off1ciated
at some great public function his or
der invariably was: Simply say, the
Archbishop was present-not another
word"
In his frequent visits to the faculties
of St. Thomas College and the st.
Paul Seminary it was the delight of
the venerable prelate to reminisce on
the past and to discuss the most vital
interests of world import in the pres
ent. His wide knowledge of world
affairs both in Church and in State,
was astounding. Ever in close touch
with the great leaders of thought both
here and abroad, Archbishop Ireland
was far in advance of his contempt
raries. His versatile genius made
him equally at home in discussing
matters of political, historical or re-
ligious significance, as well as in the
more pleasant fields of classical cul-
ture. Few professors even possessed
a deeper insight into the beauties of
French, Latin or Greek classics than
did Archbishop Ireland. The appro-
priateness of word, the happy trend
of phrase. the artistic setting of a
word-picture in some classic passage
usually held him enthralled. One of
the greatest Latin classic editions
lever published in this country owned
the Archbishop as one Of its chief pro-
moters.
In his reminiscent mood on the oc-
casion of such visits he loved to dwell
upon the incidents connected with his
eight-year course of studies in France.
The Civil War also came in for a
goodly share of'comment mingled with
anecdote and history.

Drugs For Liquor

The use of narcotic drugs, such as
morphine, cocaine and heroin, has rap
idly increased in this country within
the two past years. The Harrison
anti-narcotic act is not sufficient to
control the practice. A special treas
ury investigating committee, headed
by Congressman Rainey, reports that
more than 100000 persons in the
United States are drug fiends, that
200, 900 known addicts were in the for
mer draft. that thousands of drafted
men cultivated the use of drugs hop
ing to be dismissed from the army.

legislation to check the Wholesale

The world has been astonished
at the great number of American
soldiers transported to Europe in
the last half year. The number
now approximates 100000, and
the loss of life in transporting
them has been almost infinites-
imal. The success with which
we have moved our troops from
the scattered camps in this coun-
try and across 1900 miles of
ocean to the battle front is great
evidence of American efficiency.
We have not only surprised our
enemies; we have surprised our
friends and ourselves.

that the battle of Waterloo was
won on the cricket fields of Eton.
Who can doubt that many a bat

on the baseball grounds and ath-

the source Of the health and agil-
