ADVICE GIVEN TO sEMINARlANS,
BY LATE ARCHBISHOP IRE

Method of Study.
The great trouble with many stu
dents is that although they read a
great deal they do not remember any
of it. They put book aside and it is
soon forgotten. Our minds are like a
sieve. Whereas if we read with pen
in hand, and made summaries or took
notes on what we read, our minds
would soon become rich with vast
fund of suggestive and valuable
thoughts which we could utilize in
time of need.
We should also have an index for
what we read. Later on in life if we
are called upon to prepare speech
or to write an article on short notice,
it is necessary to know what the
sources are and where to find them
If we keep an index of what we have
read, we can turn Immediately and
find out where we read about the
question. Perhaps we may find that
our note books contain something
about the subject. At any rate We
will be ready men and prepared to
get up articles or addresses in short
order when we know just where to
find what we want.

From Private To General
THE PROUD RECORD OF DAVID
O'KEEFE, A COLUMBUS
CATHOLIC BOY.

Some twenty years ago David
O'Keefe joined the regular army as a
private. Recently the announcement
was made that he was appointed adju-
tant of, the Third Army Corps. in
France. He earned this splendid pro
motion by application and study, by
strict adherence to his duties and
rigid obedience to his superior officers,
He advanced from sergeant to lieu
tenant, then captain, then major, on
to the present responsible post, the
chief staff officer of one of the Amer
lean armies so successfully operating
against the Germans on the western
front 1t is through the adjutant that
all orders are received and issued by
the general commanding.
Adjutant O'Keefe is a product of
Holy Family School, Columbus, Ohio,
and son of the late Michael and Mary
O'Keefe. His career surely proves
that America is the Land of Opportu-

MAKING AMERICANS OUT OF
FOREIGNERS.

During the past two years
America has awakened to the
necessity of placing American
ideals before all those peoples
who have come to our shores. It
is recognized that America must
be one in language and ideals, as
well as in government and terri
tory In the effort to reach this
goal, however, many things, some
absurd, others untrue, have been
asserted.
In the St. Paul Pioneer Press
Of Wednesday, October %, there
is a statement attributed to Mr.
C. G. Schulz, State Superintendent
of Education. Mr.. Schulz is al
legged to have made the following
statement the day previous, before
the ST. Paul Rotary Club at it's
weekly luncheon. According to
the newspaper Mr.. Schulz said:
"There are ten. or twelve thou
sand children in the private
schools of st. Paul, and a great
percentage of them are not being
taught in the English language by
teachers imbued with American
ism. These schools, all ele-
mentary schools, should be under
public supervision. Only the Eng
lish language should be taught. :"
The first half Of the statement.
was so palpably outlandish that
it must be attributed to ignorance,
malice or mis-quotation. In order
to set the matter right the present
writer called on Mr.. Schulz on
Tuesday Of this week. When con-
fronted with the alleged state
ment Mr.. Schulz declared that his
words and their meaning had both
been garbled. He added that
what he did say was simply that
there, were ten or twelve thou
sand children in the private
schools of. st. Paul. When asked
for statistics, or the manner by
which one could arrive at the de-
termination of the number of
those children who were not being
taught in English, Mr.. Schulz adj
mitted that he had no means of
knowing.
In order to grasp the true con
dition of affairs in our Catholic
schools in this city in which chill
dren of foreign origin predomi-
nate, the writer telephoned to the
pastors Of these schools. In ST..
Paul we find the following schools,
under Catholic control, in which
such children are present: Ger
man schools Assumption, st.

de Sales, st, Matthew, Sacred

A TIME FOR UNITY
BIGoTS ARE LEcTURED IN THE
FEDERAL COURT.

In the United States District Court
at Wheeling, w. Va, Judge Dayton, in
dismissing from further prosecution
Rev. Olin Gunton and Rev. Herman
Myers, itinerant preachers, severely
scored them for their utterances in
stirring up religious strife in and
about Elkins.
Gunton and Myers had been ar
rested and confined in Jail under the
espionage act, but their chief work
and act consisted in Safeguarding
and vilifying the Catholic Church.
Judge Dayton, during the course OF
his remarks, said that such acts would
not and should not be tolerated in
the district; that thousands and thou
sands of Catholics, Jews, Presbyter.

lions were shoulder to shoulder fight

fight; that right, not might, should
rule. He said religious bigotry will
no longer be tolerated and he. spoke,
OF the magnificent example shown by
Bishop Donohue, of Wheeling, join
ing in with the Methodist Bishop and
the Jewish divine, in going through
the State during the recent Liberty
Loan campaign, calling such action
the highest kind of patriotism, and
saying that it demonstrated that
there was no cause for bigotry and
that all creeds and all people were
one in the prosecution of this great
war.

TALKS TO STUDENTS

him and were anxious, to. hear him
talk.
People love to hear a man who has
thought these questions out Listen
to your lectures, read up on the mat
ter and reflect. Students often make
little progress because they trust to
memory and do not write enough
Memory is very vague and treacher-
Gus. Writing is a powerful help to
memory, and besides it enables us to
accumulate a vast store of material
l want you to get the habit of doing
these things now. In your note books
write your professors lectures, what
you read yourself and your thoughts
on the whole question. Have a spe-
cial note book for fine thoughts, quo
tations and summaries of good ar
ticles from the papers and magazines.
I never yet knew man who
amounted to much who didn't keep a
scrap book to contain good articles he
had read.
Listen, read and reflect. Embody
the results in your note books. Make
abstracts of your text books. Boil
down twenty lines to three. You thus
see through the subject and memo
rize it. BY thus reading, thinking and
writing, your mind becomes full and
ready, and you can find material easily
for an address or special article. Keep
an index also of where the articles
are to be found.
How do those men who write and
show great eruditiOn get their fine
thoughts? They do not carry them
all in their memory. They have this
system of writing down fine thoughts
and of cutting out good articles. All
serious men do it. 1t is the only way
to study.
If your mind is full of a subject it
will flow out as naturally as water
bubbles forth from a spring. In the
summer time the bee gathers honey.
Now is your summer time. Every
moment should be spend in gathering
information to give out later on. In
the winter when an address or article
is needed, turn to your index. You
will have the honey in the honey
comb.

Missionaries Killed

From the German Consulate at
Tabriz comes fuller account of the
massacre of Catholic missionaries.
This later report states that the whole
personnel of the Lazarist Mission has
been put to death by the Turks at
Urumia, the excuse being given that
this was due to the necessities of
war" The Mission was presumably
French, the staff being composed very
largely of Syrian Catholics. The
Archbishop of Ispahan was put to
death, together with several French
priests.

GERMANY RELENTS
BELGIANs WILL BE RELEASED
AND PERMITTED TO RETURN
TO THEIR HOMES.

Baron Won Der Lancken, chief of the
German political department at Brus-
sells, has informed Cardinal MERCER,
primate of Belgium, that when the
Germans evacuate that country the de-
ported Belgians and political prison
ers will be spontaneously released,
according to the Osservatore Romano.
He told Cardinal MERCER, it is said,
that a part of the Belgians who were
deported would be free to return to
their country on october %.
This notification was in the form
of letter, handed to the Cardinal
personally by Baron Won Der Lancken.
The text of the letter reads as fol-
lows:
'You are the incarnation of the emf
nence of occupied Belgium. You are
it's .venerated and needed pastor. 1t
is then, to you that the governor gen
eral and my local government have
charged me to announce that, when
they vacate your territory, they will
spontaneously set free deported Bel
CLANS and political prisoners. They
will be in part free to return to their
Country on Monday.
"This declaration is of a nature that
will. fill your heart with rejoicing. /
am all the happier to make it to you
in that 1 could not have lived four
years among the Belgians without es-
teeming them and without appreciat-
ing their patriotism at its true value"
1t is understood that this communi-
cation has been transmitted to King
Albert of Belgium and President Will
son.

the United States. They reached New
York on October 8. After resting a
day or two from the voyage, they went
to Washington. There they remained
several days.
The first institution they asked to
see was the Catholic University. Ac-
companied by DR.. Cowlin of the Amer
lean Council of Education, and Prof.
Scofield of Harvard University, they
went out to Brookline on October Is.
Bishop Shahan and the faculty receiv-
ed them and showed them every at
tention. The purpose of their journey
was explained. Sir Henry Jones, pro-
fessor of moral philosophy in the Uni
versity of Glasgow, desires that some
students from his country should come
here to finish their course, and that
some American students should go to
Great Britain and Ireland for their
final studies.
There must be, between the two
greatest English-speaking nations of
the world" he says, ''closer relation
ship; and the best way to accomplish
that is through the higher educational
institutions. We feel in England that
we can throw our treasures open to
you, convinced that they will be help
full to you; and we are sure that we
can gain much in this country that will
be helpful to us, the result of which
will be for the great benefit of the
world and humanity"
The mission was received by Presi-
dent Wilson at the White House. At
ter visiting leading schools in this
country, they expect to return home
about December Is.

dulgencesand thus paving the way
for all the evils that follow in the
wake of intemperance. There is
grave reason to fear that in al
most every case use will sooner
or later lead to abuse with all it's
disastrous consequences for the
individual, the family and the ma
ton and, in view Of this deplor-
able possibility, are we not justi-
fed in protesting against the
opening of our hearts and our
homes to this monster of iniquity
who for ages has made the world
groan and tremble beneath it's
blighting tread?
And, finally, the very Church of
God is made a bulwark for the
liquor traffic. We are informed
that she. has never favored pro
hibition, that she breads the crys-
utilization of public sentiment into
a prohibition law lest the Holy
Sacrifice of the Mass be made i'm
possible because of inability to
procure sacramento wine.
Is the Church opposed to pro-
hibition? If so, when did she
launch the condemnation of the
movement? 1t is true, she has not
officially advocated prohibition.
She has never been asked to do so
but it does not need the decree of
a plenary council to set forth the
attitude of the Church in pretty
clear light. One can obtain a
fairly adequate idea of what her
position ON this question would be
from the stand taken by so large a
number Of her representative lead
ers in this country. 1t is a matter
of common knowledge that a
great many prominent members of
the American hierarchy do not
hesitate to throw the weight of
their personal and official in
f1uence in favor of prohibition.
These prelates are men Of inte1li-
gence, keen-visioned, broad
gagged, alert and active, capable
of diagnosing the ills from which
their people suffer and Of apply
ing the proper remedy. Ask them
what the Church has to say on
this subject. They are not afraid
that prohibition is going to rob
the Church Of the Mass or put her
out of business. They know that
wherever the Church authorities
are on the alert, the prohibition
law makes an exception in favor
of wine for sacramento purposes.
Last week we published "a call
to prayer" for the success Of the
prohibition campaign signed by
the heads Of the religious demon
nations in Minnesota, among
them the Very Reverend Admin
istrator Of the Archdiocese Of ST.
Paul. That makes the call official
for Catholics and shows that the
Church in the Archdiocese does
not fear the prohibition move
ment but approves Of it. We are
asked to pray for it's success; and
while we do so let us not forget
to make our prayer effective as
far as lies in our power by voting
for the amendment at the COMM g
election.

My friends, labor has understood the
one great revelation Of this world

will influence the whole future or
mankind-that back OF all armies and
fleets. back of all battles, back OF all
governments. back OF human society
in all its expressions of power. is the
man lying on his back in the coal
mine, digging with his pick the fuel
that makes possible the machinery
upon which our civilization rests. II
is labor that has power over produc-

fairs. Labor I'm Britain knows its
power, and 1t is organized today to
assert its power.

British Trade Union Congress at
