Catholic Women's
League Meeting
Thrift Address by DR.. N. L. Burton,
President Of University of
Minnesota.
Reports Of the Several Activities of
the league-Reception on Tuesday
Afternoon Next at the Institute of
Art.

At the regular monthly meeting of
the Minneapolis League of Catholic
women, held on Monday, March IS, at
the assembly rooms, 72O Marquette
avenue, interest was chiefly centered
in the address of DR.. M. l.. Burton,
president of the University of Mime
sofa, dealing with War Time Thrift.
DR.. Burton said that every teacher
knows of the three distinct kinds of
boys and girls that are to be found in
every school. The first class hears the
lesson assigned and conscientiously
prepares that lesson and is ready to
recite It. The second class knows full
we'll that a lesson has been designated,
but makes no preparation for recita-
tion, fondly hoping that school will
be dismissed before they are called
upon to recite The third class hasn't
the faintest glimmering of an idea that
there fs anything at all to be studied.
Our Large Percentage Of Foreigners.
These three classes of pupils in any
school may be said to represent the
different types in every community
Thoughtful women, belonging, per-
haps, to organizations interested in
civic and social work, surely belong
to the first class. ready to do their full
share at the first call. There is much
to be done for those in the third class;
there is much to be done in the way of
Americanization, as 67 per cent OF
our population is foreign-born and one
person in every five in Minneapolis is
German. There is also great deal
to be done to awaken those in the
second class to realization of their
duties and responsibilities in this time
of war and suffering.
The Three Great Lessons Of 1917.
DIR. Burton characterized the year
/. 1917 as the most glorious year in our
{ history. The year 1917, he said, as.
{ signed us three great lessons. The
!, first lesson is the lesson of thrift.
Women have generally been more
: conscientious in learning that lesson
q than men, The second lesson assigned
:, and one seemingly opposed to the
j. first is the lesson of giving. There is

DEATH OF ARCHBISHOP HEALY
-. OF TUAM.
Sketch Of Life Of Distinguished Irish
&s PreIate.

The Most Rev. John Healy, y. D.,
half of Mayo, half of Galway and part
of Roscommon, Ireland, died on March
16, according to delayed cablegrams
received in this country. Archbishop
Healy succeeded the late Archbishop
MacEvilly on February 13, 1908.
Most Rev. John Healy, D. D., Arch.
bishop of Tuam, Ireland, who died a
few days ago, was born at Ballinafad,
County Sligo, Nov. IA, 1S41. His early
education was received in the town
of Sligo, whence, at about the age of
Is, he entered the diocesan college at
Summerhill, near Athlone. In 1860
he entered the class of rhetoric at
Maynooth, and just before the COM
pletion of his course was called by his
Bishop to be a professor in the col
lege at Summerhill. Here he was or
dained September, 1867, and contin-
ued to teach for more than two years.
His missionary experienoeg were
gained in the parish of Ballygar, near
Roscommon, where he was curate for
two years, and then at Grange, Coun-
ty Sligo, where he spent seven years.
He was tAen for one year in charge
of a deanery school in the town of
Eiphih. In 1879 he competed stimuli
taneously for two vacant chairs-one
of theology and the other of classics
in the national college of Maynooth,
and had the unique honor conferred
upon him of being appointed to both
and allowed to make his own choice
between them. He naturally selected
the chair of theology, which he filled
until 1888, when he succeeded DR..
Murray as prefect of the Dunboyne
establishment. During his tenure of
the office DR.. Healy acted as editor of
the Irish Ecclesiastical Record, but
this was only for single year. for
in 1884 he was appointed titular
Bishop Of Macra and Coad1atcr Bishon
of Clonfert. In 1895, Oh tie death of
DR.. DuEgafa, he sueeaeded to the see
of clonfert. seven years after, by
Papal brief AaNAa Feb. 13, 1903, he be.
came Archbishop of Tuam, and on the
following St. -Patrick's day took pos.
session of the ancient see.

To the Editor, Irish Standards:

movies are assuredly great attrac-

those who contributed to the Fourth

SpeaklHg in Dublin at United Irish
League 'Sneeting, Mr.. Dillon dealt at
length with the Convention and the
geifefal situation in Ireland. He said:
If the Convention comes to an
aSreement, the carrying out of that
agreement will be very serious and
a very difficult task, and the whole
future of our country will depend upon
the circumstances under which the
new regime in Ireland is launched.
Whether the Convention agrees or
whether it does not, in the Immediate
future, probably within the next ten
days, there will he cast upon the peo-
pie of Ireland who are still Faithful
to the old policy, the task of new
departure, and the success of that
new departure in either eyentuality
will depend upon the organization of
the people.
And now here | want to say one
word. We have only got to compare
the condition of things of which this
Convention is the type and seal

things which prevailed in the year

WORLDS CATHOLIC POPULATION
ESTIMATED AT 3O1 .96O .485.

According to the Catholic Directory
of Great Britain for 1918, the total es-
timated Catholic population of the
world is 301 1,96O,4S5. Figures of this
kind can only be accepted as approx
imately correct, and the present
great war is factor which must
greatly affect any estimate of num-
bers, introducing an element of un-
certainty for which no doubt due al
lowance has been made by the COM
pliers of the figures. The distribu-
tion of Catholics is, in round numbers,
as follows: Europe, 190,779,000; Asia,
6,20S,0O0; Africa, 62,S17,0OO; America,
1885,, 900; Australasia, 9,2S9,00O. The
Catholics in the British Empire are
estimated to number 13,296,617, re-
duction of 4,225 on the figures given
a year ago and clearly reflection of
the terrible conflict in which so many
Catholics have died.
The 92,S67 900 Catholics assigned to
! America include North America and
South America. Last years figures
for the United States were 17,022,S79.
There are 1882 priests in Great Bri-

THREE BROTHERS
tFrom the Beaver1

Back in the 70s three promising
youngsters from Blair county re-
ceived their preliminary education
at the McAlisterville Orphan school,
and all three have made good" in
public life. One of the boys entered
the service of his country and after
graduating at West Point, earned
the title of colonel in the United
States Army and now holds the re-
sponsible position of officer in charge
of Uncle Sans coast defenses at the
Panama canal. Another, after build
ing up a splendid law practice in
Central Pennsylvania, was induced
to become a candidate for high off,
cial position and was elevated by a
large vote to the bench of the Su-
perior Court of Pennsylvania-where
he has amply demonstrated his abil-
ity for larger and broader service to
his native state and its citizens. He
is now we'll nown as John w. Kep-
hart, Judge of the Superior Court.
The third brother of this energetic
trio, Harmon NJ. Kephart, after some
years of service with the B. and o.
r. r.. represented his district in
the State Legislature and was ap-
pointed Chief Clerk of the State Sem
ate in 1909, the position which he
held until resigning to take up his
duties as Treasurer of the Common
wealth in 1915.

GERMANY LOSES

IN ESPITE the large gains of ter
ritory resulting from the re-
cent German drive in Picardy
md the North of France the Ger
mans have lost more by that often
sive than they have won. Nor are
their losses to be reckoned solely
by the failure of their detectives to
split the French and English armies
and to annihilate the British force
as a lighting unit; nor yet by the
frightful and irreparable damage in
fiicted upon the man-power of the
attacking millions. These are the
encouraging aspects of the situation
as viewed by the military experts of
the allies, but there is yet to be reck-
oned the effect the failure of Hin
denburg to reach Paris has had on
the German people, and signs are
becoming apparent that the fury of
the German commanders in fling
ing men recklessly against the al
lied machine guns was prompted as
much by the effort to make good"
with the people at home as it was
to break the opposing lines.
