A UNIQUE CEREMONY
FIRST NUN OF RUTHENIAN RITE
ORDER PROGRESSED IN
AMERICA.

Sister Euphemia of the Sisters of
ST. Basil the Great professed her final
VOWS last Sunday in the chapel at
tached to ST. Basil Orphanage, Phila-
delphia, Pa.
The Order of the Sisters of ST. Basil
is of the Ruthenian Greek rite, found
ed in the sixth century, and the cere-
monies of last Sunday were unique in
that they were the first of the kind to
be performed in this country Sister
Euphemia was one of a little band
of three who came here in 1911, at the
invitation of the late Bishop Ortynski,
to labor here among the Ruthenians.
There are at present seventeen nuns,
twenty-one novices and thirty-four
postulants in the community. These
are engaged in teaching and training
the children of st, Basil Orphanage
and in making Kylym rugs, which are
woven beautifully in Oriental shades
and patterns and bring fair prices on
the market The rugs last many
years and promise to be material
source of income to the asylum.

Care for American Prisoners
GOVERNMENT AND RED CROSS
ACTIVE IN WELFARE WORK..

Germany now has twenty-seven
prison camps where American soldiers
captured in battle are held.
The American Red Cross has &C.
curate information about these camps
and with the aid of the Swiss Red
Cross, keeps our soldiers and sailors
supplied with nourishing food, new
clothing, soap and other necessaries.
At the beginning of June there
were about 800 men in uniform in
German prison camps. The American
troops have captured considerably
more than 1000 Germans, so the
score is more than even in that
respect
In Berne, Switzerland, the Ameri-
can Red Cross has a great warehouse
from which is sent to each American
prisoner in Germany twenty pounds of
food every week. Our government
pays for this food and equipment and
the Red Cross sees that it reaches the
men.
Already there are enough supplies
in the Red Cross warehouse at Berne
to take care of $4,000 American pris-
oners-if the Germans can take that
number!

FOR MUNITION WORKERS
CONVENT is GIVEN UP BY SIS
TIERS IN ALTON, ILL.,, FOR
MUNITION WORKERS.

Patriotism and the desire to do
something that will aid in winning
the war has led the Sisters of the
Urshline Convent at Alton, H., to offer
their entire convent as home for
munition workers. Housing facilities
in Alton have been very poor this
year and it has been almost impossible
to provide homes enough to care for
the many workers needed in order to
fill government contracts.
Several munition factories near Al
ton have been unable to secure sufi-
cient labor because of the scarcity of
houses. When the Sisters in the con-
vent read that government contracts
might be placed elsewhere, and that,
at any rate, the orders would not be
filled on time, they stated their will
ingness to give up their convent. 1t
is thought that they might buy back
the institution buildings after the war,

LETTER ON COLLEGE ATTENDANCE

superintendent and principals OF
high schools and the principals of
graded schools having graduates are
asked to take this question up with
each individual graduate in person.
Explain the Secretary's letter, set
forth the country's need for persons
trained in engineering, in science,
and in the professions. Make en-
phatic the opportunity offered by the
War Department for military instruc-
tion in colleges and in the State Uni
versity.
This question will be explained
through the public press and from the
pulpit. 1t will be self evident that
this is not urged through any selfish
motive of the colleges or the Univer
sity. These institutions, through their
presidents, have expressed a keen de-
sire to serve the country and to act
in harmony with the wishes Of the
War Department.
Will you not, so far as you find it
possible, seek out the graduates of
your school and place this matter be-
fore each one If it cannot be done
by personal interview, will you not
write those members of the class who
you think will be interested in, and
be able to enter college. Will you
not also admonish each college stu
dent in your community, or of your
acquaintance, to return, if possible, to
college next fall. You will regard
yourself in this relation as a recruit
ing officer
This applies with equal force to
young women. There is need of their
services, as nurses, as dietitians, and
as directors and leaders in the work
of rebuilding, after the war. A leader
in the higher education of women
states:
I'm view of the increasing number
of openings for women who possess
the balance, judgment and efficiency
that college training can give, a con-
certed and determined effort should
be made to encourage young women
to pursue to completion college
courses already begun
ct is deemed a necessary and
patriotic service to persuade young
women graduating from high schools
to think no effort too great to secure
the advantages of college training for
the superior service demanded by
present conditions

The following letter is in line with
the letter published last week with
regard to attendance at our colleges:
To Superintendent and Principals of
High School Systems:
A letter dated May 20 was sent
from this office, with copy of a letter
from the Secretary of War, dated May
8, in reference to the attendance of
high school graduates in college next
year. The Secretary states in his
letter that military instruction will be
provided in institutions of college
grade which enroll for that purpose
100 or more able bodied students over
the age of 49, Our Government,
through the War Department, is urg-
ing young men to go to college next
year. This means that college stu
dents should continue their college
education and that high school grad
yates who have a college career in
mind should seek to attend next year,
and all to remain in college until
called for military service.
This proposal by the Secretary of
War is a war measure. Our country
must have new contingent OF
recruits to pursue training in college
and university and become prepared
for leadership and public service.
The college presidents in Mime
sofa, the president of the University
and the state superintendent are
unanimous in urging high school
graduates to give this question serious
thought The Secretary of War evil
IDENTIFY implies that by entering col.
lege next fall a person otherwise fit
for military service will not be re,
garded as evading his duty to our
country. The Secretary's letter as,
sures the college student that he is
regarded as preparing himself for wal
service, and every college in which
the War Department provides mill
tary instruction will, in a sense, be a
cantonment.
