Tt is reported that the commits
sion to make the monument for
the Catholic nurses of the civil
war. which is to be erected under
the auspices of the Ladies AuXil-
larry of the Ancient Order of Hi
bernians, on site in Washington
city given by Congress, is not to
be given after competition
among artists to furnish the best
design, but is to be entrusted to
Jerome Conner. If this report is
true, it will not be welcome news
to those who remember what hap
pened when the monument to
John Barry was in preparation.
Interested persons might write to
Congressman Ambrose Kennedy
and to Mrs. Jolly of the Ladies
Auxiliary. Let there be a compe-
ton aud the best design win.

That the war has already had
a purifying effect on the nations
concerned is very evident, says
The Catholic Union and Times.
Before it brought home to these
peoples the serious side Of life
they were drunk with heather
nectar. A sitting materialism and
an effeminate hedonism had super
seeded those noble virtues which
had in the olden days moulded the
lives of their ancestors and in
Spired them to rear their match
less temples to the Almighty.
They had great need Of the chas-
tening rod, for they were leaving
the ways Of their God. Some of
these nations, too, had been apOs-
tate and had signaliZed their apos-
tasy by a relentless persecution
of the Church of God. May it not
be that God has chosen this dras-
tic way of bringing them to re
pentance, and that they may yet
return to His merciful bosom ?
Whatever the outcome Of this de-
plorable struggle may be, the
Church will surely emerge from it
with the crown Of victory OH her
luminous brow.

Sir William Goode, Of the Brit
ish Food Ministry, says that from
July, 1917, to April, 1918, the
United States exported to the
allies 60,000,000 bushels Of wheat
products. Of this it is asserted
that 100000 bushels repre-
scented voluntary sacrifices by the
American people in their con-
sumption of wheat. There is a
triple economy, a triple aspect to
this saving Of wheat. 1t saved
wheat for our Army and the
armies of our allies; it saved
money to the American people,
and for the most part this money
went for the purchase Of govern
ment war securities. There is an
other saving still; this sort Of sac
rifice and economy is helping win
the war-shorten the WARMTH

SPANISH COUNCIL

DELPHIA BY KNIGHTS

A movement has been started to
unite the many Spaniards, numbering
more than one thousand, who are EN-.
ployed in the various munition and
shipbuilding plants in the vicinity of
Philadelphia, so that they may keep
the faith of their fathers and have
every opportunity of practicing their
religion. This movement has taken
the form of Knights of Columbus
Council, and the first meeting of or.
ganization was held last Sunday.

President Wilson has written to
the chairman Of the Joint Centen-
airy Committee of the Methodist
Episcopal Church: 81 think it
would be a real misfortune, a mis-
fortune of lasting consequence, if
the missionary program for the
world should be interrupted.
There are many calls for money,
Of course, and | can quite under
stand that it may become more
difficult than ever to obtain money
for missionary enterprises. But
that the work undertaken should
be continued and continued as far
as possible, at its full force, seems
to me of capital necessity, and I,
for one, hope that there may be
no sIackening or recession of any
sort.

JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOLS
THE TREND OF EDUCATORS is
TOWARDS SHORTENING GRAM
MAR coURSE-NEcESSlTY OF
PRACTICAL REIMBURSEMENT.

At the recent Catholic educational
convention, Rev. John A. Dillon, SUI
perintendent of parish schools of New
ark, N. j., said:
''The efforts now being made in
various states to reorganize curricula
of training and instruction for chill
dren from twelve to fourteen and fiji
teen years of age, constitute undoubt-
eddy, the most significant and impor-
tant of contemporary movements in
education.
"The historical study of our Ameri-
can secular educational system shows
that it is neither the development of
a plan nor the evolvement of an or
ganism according to some principle of
growth. Our Catholic educational
work has been Influenced by the con-
ditions in the secular system. In
some places there is scarcely any diff
ference in the system of grading and
in the curriculum in vogue in the
parish school. The reasons that
moved secular educators to demand
a reform and a reconstruction of the
educational system are valid for US.
The time has come when we must
effect better adjustment of our work.
The contention is that the first
six years of school should be devoted
to purely elementary work with in
sistence on thoroughness and inten-
sity, and that this instruction should
become secondary in character, wheth-
er the child passes over to high school
or college control, or, as will happen
with the vast majority, it remains
for at least two years longer in the
parish school. Catholic edu-
Gators are of the opinion that unless
all signs fail, the curriculum is bound

THE EDUCATED MAN.

One of the effects of war is to
turn the thoughts Of men from
peaceful channels into the rushing
torrents of excitement. There is
tendency to neglect the arts of
peace and to measure everything
in. life from the standpoint of
mihtarism.
At the present moment the ma
tional administration, together
with the great leaders Of thought,
is urging upon the citizens Of this
country to keep their young men
in the higher institutions of learn
ing as long as possible. The emo
tional state aroused in the minds
of many by the military prepare
tons on every hand should give
way to calm reflection upon the
needs of the future as well as upon
the true nature of education.
The educated man! He is the
human being whose latent facul-
ties and possibilities have been
nurtured under the experienced
care of trained teachers. His
faculties have unfolded gradually
under the vivifying warmth of
noble ideals. His intellect has
been submitted to a logical
process which causes him not only
to grasp the problems of life cor
rectly, but also to promote a love
and admiration for the good, the
true and the beautiful. His moral
nature is directed toward the goal
Of uprightness and rectitude.
Every faculty Of soul and of body
converges towards the attainment
of perfect living. The educated
man, in a word, is one who realizes
in his own person to the fullest
extent the glory Of intellect, the
beauty Of truth, and the loneliness
of virtue.
1t is for these reasons that
young men and young women are
urged to continue their higher
course Of studies, lest the blight of
war should leave it's scar upon
them in the form of stunted intel
lectual growth and of imperfect
development.
1t is significant that the appeal
sent forth by the National Ad-
ministration is directed chiefly to
young people themselves, more
than to their parents. 1t would
seem for this reason that the lead
ers of thought in this country
recognize the fact that in America
the authority Of parents over their
offspring is not nearly so strong
as it should be. Hence the appeal
to the young people themselves.

MGR. BURKE'S JUBILEE.

During the month of August,
Right Reverend Mgr. John E.
Burke, Director General for mis-
sion work among the colored peo-
pie, will commemorate the fortieth
year of his priesthood.
AS is customary on such occa-
sions. friends and admirers pre-
pared to celebrate the occasion in
BETTING way, with festivities,
banquet and a substantial purse
as testimony Of esteem. The
venerable prelate, however, with
that disinterestedness which has
always distinguished him, has re-
fused every outward mark of
honor that might reflect upon him
personally. Instead of the elabor-
ate ceremonies that were to have
taken place, he is endeavoring,
with the assistance Of his friends,
to raise a fund Of $4,000, a thou
sand dollars for each year of his
priesthood. This money is to be
turned in to the general fund for
mission work for the negroes. The
generous attitude of Mgr. Burke is
one that might well be initiated
on the occasion Of jubilees in gen.
eral.
There is, perhaps, no phase of
missionary work in this country
more discouraging than that
which concerns the spiritual well
fare Of the colored people. The
negro is naturally Of an emo
tional nature and is easily suscep-
tible to religious impressions. His
soul offers fruitful field for the
Jealous worker in the cause Of re-
igion. Up to the past few years,
however, very little seems to have
been accomplished for the spir-
itual uplift of the colored man.
Here and there, it is true, as in st.
Paul and a few other Northern
cities, Jealous priests have spent
themselves with energy and
fidelity in the cause of the colored
man. Generally speaking, how
ever, very little progress has been
made, owing to causes which it is
not necessary to mention here.
In the South, where the larger
portion of the negro population is
to be found, the Josephite Fathers,
assisted by the Sisters, have done
yeoman service in this uphill
work. They conduct many
churches and religious institutions
which, in spite Of poverty, are in
a comparatively fourishing con-
dition. The need there, however,
is for colored priests, of whom
there are very few in this country.
The white missionaries, adapting
themselves frequently to uncon-
genial surroundings, have carried
the light of the Gospel and the
principles of upright, moral liv-
ing among the black children of
the race. - 81

In a recent address Bishop Sha-

rector Of the Catholic University
of America, directed attention to
a fact which ought to "give Us

that - per cent of the personnel

per cent of the navy, he said that
an equally high percentage in both
branches Of the service does not
hold good in regard to the officers :
"Catholics are.not taking up high

for that reason the percentage of
Catholics holding commissions in
the service is not as high as it
