POPE AGAIN SPEAKS ON
BlLINGUAL PROBLEM

Pope Benedict has written another
letter to Cardinal Begin and the other
Canadian bishops on the bilingual
question. After Rome had studied the
question, it decided to permit the Cath
olics to obtain, if possible, concessions
from the government under the new
education law Of 1913. The Pope up
holds the right to have the young chill
dren taught catechism in their native
French. He kindly admonishes the
French Canadian Catholics however
not to venture into the courts or pro-
mote litigation without the consent
of their bishop who must consult 9TH
er bishops. This action of Rome is
taken because the dispute over the
French-English language question had
become SO hot in Canada that it was
causing bitterness even between do
ceses.

Newport, County Mayo. In the course
of his sermon His Lordship said it
was seldom more necessary to empha-
size the value and Importance of the
vitalizing and energising power of the
church for the social well-being and
the true happiness of men than at
present. Everywhere in the world
there was an ever-growing feeling Of
discomfort, spirit of unrest, a sense
of something radically wrong, of
something essential being wanted.
The toiling masses especially felt
that the dignity and sacredness Of
their human personality were not re-
spected, that they were treated as
chattels rather than as persons, that
there was an absence of sympathy

THE BISHOPS OF IRELAND

The following statement was issued
from the recent general meeting of
the Irish Bishops at Maynooth: "The
Bishops have fixed Septuagesima Sun
day. Feb. 16, of next year, for a gen
eral collection throughout Ireland, ex-
cept where other arrangements have
already been made, to defray the ex-
penses of the ceremony of the Bea-
tification of Ven. Oliver Plunkett and
Apostolic Process on behalf of the Irish
Martyrs.
"The servants of God whose causes
are under consideration in this Proc
ess number 25S, including Primates,
Archbishops, Bishops, priests, secular,
and regular, and men and women from
practically every diocese in ireland.
Each of these cases will be subjected
to most thorough and critical in
vestigation. The evidence will be ex-
tremely voluminous, more especially
in the causes of those reputed mar
tyrs who bore prominent part in
the public life of Ireland.
Many thousands of documents, and
not a few large volumes of print, will
have to be translated from great
number of libraries and archives
throughout Europe. The cost of paper
alone, with the salaries of TRANSCRIPT
ers, will amount to large annual
figure. In the course of last year 37,-
900 folio pages were written by nota-
ries and transcribers employed in the
Process. Printing and postage will
also involve heavy outlay. 1t is es-
timated that not less than 10000 will
be required to cover all expenses.
"The final result will be vast mon
ument of historical research which
will rebound to the glory of the Irish
Church and be of abiding interest and
value for our diocesan and national

On concluding his speech, Mr.. Kit
chin expressed the further fear of a
tax upon consumption, and in many
!; instances on the necessities of life.
1--WE shall most probably have to come

gained her full independence, she may

The naming of this successor of the
late Mother Foundress of the com

interest in Catholic circles, for the
Missionary Sisters are now one of the
largest single communities of nuns in
the church, and the position of supe

one of the highest and most. powerful
positions in the church to which any

ed as superior at Seattle and New
York City houses of the order, and,
before the late Mother Frances x.
Cabrini, foundress of the order, came
to this country five years preceding
her death. Mother Antoinette was her
delegate here. The news of Mother
Antoinette's selection as superior gen.

Mother Antoinette was born in &C.

of these researches the names of a

therefore, appeal with the utmost con-
fidence to the unfailing generosity of
Irish priests and people to furnish the
necessary funds for this great re-

Dominican Returns
As Duluth Bishop
Bishop McNicholas, Who Left Country
as Priest in January, 1917, and
Was Conosecrated Abroad,
Is Installed.

To the qualification of his religious
brothers and friends throughout the
country, and to the great good fortune
of the Diocese of Duluth, Father John
T. McNicholas, o. P, who went to
Rome in January, 1917, as Assistant
General of the Order of Preachers, has
come back to America Rt. Rev. Bishop
McNicholas, of the Diocese of Duluth.
Bishop McNicholas was installed in
his see on last Saturday.
Father McNicholas was born in
County Mayo, Dec. Is, 1877, came to
America when still a child, made his
studies at the School of the Immacu-
late Heart, Chester, and at st. Joseph's
College, Philadelphia, and entered the
Dominican Novitiate at Springfield
Immediately after his ordination in
1901, he was sent to Rome for special
courses in Theology Tin which he took
his degree there) and Canon Law
When he returned from Rome in
1904, it was to become Novice Master
at the Novitiate in Somerset, O., and
when, later, the House of Studies was
established at the Catholic University,
he held the same Office there, and
taught Philosophy, Theology, Canon
Law, and Homiletics. His term as
novice-master is remembered especial
ly for the enthusiasm for Dominican
ideals with which he inspired the
young men of that time.
In 1908 Father McNfcholas was
charged by his superiors with the ad-
ministration of the affairs of the Holy
Name Society throughout the country.
During his dictatorship of the Holy
Name Society, Father McNicholas was
appointed rector Of the Church of St.
Catherine of siena, New York, and
proved as wise and able a pastor as
he had shown himself successful
teacher and executor.
In January, 1917, he was summoned
to Rome as his assistant, by Father
Theissling, Master General of the Or
der of Preachers. Here, he represent
ed the English-speaking provinces of
the Order, and had for his special care
the discipline and organization in it's
Monasteries throughout the world.
Bishop McNicholas was consecrated
in Rome on Sept. 8.

The EDUCATIONAL TREND

Many papers and addresses Of inter
est and value to the student of educa-
ton are found in the Annual Report
of the San Francisco convention of the
Catholic Educational Association just
issued. Judging by the volume of
some $50 pages, last summers con-
vention must have been one Of the
most successful in the history of the
association. It demonstrated, as we
learn from the introduction, "that the
principles on which Catholic education
is based are identical with the univer-
sal principles of natural right which
America has espoused in undertaking
this war; and that the triumphant vim
dication of these principles is neces-
sary for the preservation Of civiliza-
tion, and is worth the sacrifice it
COSTS"
The association is just closing its
fifteenth year and maintains it's posi-.
tion as a strong factor in the growth
Of Catholic education. The parish
schools throughout the land are
crowded, in fact many cannot accom-
modate all who wish to attend, and
this condition is in large part due to
the work of the Catholic Educational
Association. All thoughtful educa-
tors have come to recognize the value
of religious education as exemplified
In the Catholic system, and look to
the Catholic Educational Association
for clear enunciation of the princi-
pies upon which it is founded.
Some Noteworthy Papers
Included in the report are the min
utes of the various departments; fol-
lowed by the papers read, the discus
sions given and the address delivered
at public and other meetings. Among
the first of the addresses is that of
Most Rev. Archbishop Hanna, of San
Francisco, at the opening mass, who
took for his subject, Religion and
Democracy" He spoke of the triumph
OF real democracy as 1llum1ned by re-
ligion, and the place of the Christian
teacher in building national ideals.
One of the most noteworthy papers
in the whole volume is probably that
Of Rev. Peter G. Yorke. pastor of St.
Peters church, San Francisco, on "The
Teaching of Religion" This is the
continuation of series of splendid
papers which Father Yorke has been
delivering at these conventions. One
was read at the Milwaukee conven-
tion on the pedagogical value of Chris
ttan doctrine, and another at Buffalo
on the teaching of liturgy in the ele-
mentary schools. Father Yorke's
knowledge Of the subject gives value
to all he says, as do the simplicity and
