Bats Once Used for Food.

That bats were food for primitive
men Is .icated by Miss Grinnell In
her work on bats of California: 1.-THE
bat had become master of the air long
before man walked upright. The rocky
refuge revealed to the cave man the
little upside-down bat clinging to the
roof of his cavern. One bat takes its
food or the ground. since 1t brings to
its roOst wingless Jerusalem crickets,

sect makes in crawling or the air cur

Back of the success of Senator

brought him the appointment at the
hands of the Discerning and patrio-
tic Governor Gardner, is story of
battle against obstacles, a conquer
Ing fight to fit himself for service
He started life handicapped by a
physical infirmity of lameness, a
handicap which would have dis
couraged less courageous soul. He
was frail of physique. lacking in
strength, and his first fight was for
life itself. That fight he won as
he won other fights, by strict and
stern discipline of himself. He
won his way through college and
fought for his education. He turn
ed that education to practical af-
fairs and became a leader in every
arena in which he has fought.
AS lawyer, he fought fair. AS
a man he has lived in the open. No
trail of broken promises, of success
at the expense of others marks his
life's pathway.
His fearlessness. his patriotism,
his ability to master problems, at
tracted the attention of the Cover
nor. He knew what st. Louis, the
home of the Senator. thought and be-
lieyed of this man. And when the
task of selecting a successor to the
late Senator Stone devolved upon
him, it was these qualifications and
this reputation, not political con-
siderations. that prompted his selec-
tion. The brief months in the
Senate have justified that choice.
The voice OF Senator Wiley has
been raised in support Of the admin
istration of President Wilson. His
vote has been cast for the patriotic
measures of the president. He has
kept the faith.

USEFUL REFLECTIONS FOR THE
TEACHER OF LITERATURE-
PAPER READ AT RECENT CATH
oLIC EDUCATIONAL CoNVEN-
TION.

At the Catholic Educational Conven-
ton, recently held in San Francisco,
an interesting paper was read on the
teaching of literature. 1t is from the
pen of Brother Leo, professor Of Lit
erature in st. Mary's College, Oakland,
Cal. The paper, in part, follows:
Teaching of English.
What is wrong with our teaching of
English? Every year an unf1inching
finger is laid upon the weak spot, and
every year upon a different spot;
every year enthusiasts suggest a pan
acea, and every year a different pan
acea. We must have more drill in
spelling and dictation, Or we must
shun routine exercises because they
lack spontaneity; we must. give more
general criticism of written work, or
we must correct written work more
intensiVely; we must analyze and con-
dense, or we must syntheslze and
paraphrase; we must teach more for
eign languages, or we must fee from
alien tongues as from the. face of a
serpent: we must inculcate the prin-
ciples of formal logic, or We must
teach the children to think on their
feet; we must widen their intellectual
horizon by means of general reading,
or we must discipline their minds by
frowning upon literary browsing; we
must have them write lavishly, or we
must insist that they write little and
we'll; we must correlate English with
geography and manual training, or we
must regard English as a subject that
is essentially Sim Fein. But always,
so runs the implication, if we teach
ers of English would save our souls
and our faces, we must study the
mechanics" of English, we must
amend our methods of teaching, we
must tinker the tricks of the trade.
Far be it from me to underestimate
the Importance of method. We need
some sort and some degree of method
in everything we do, from making
mental prayer to knitting socks for
the Belgians: but we err, and err
grievously, when we make method,
even the best method, the main con
siGcrotica, the be-all end The end-all
O. c~ae~-c~. And | am quite con-
yinced that the radical reason why
our English teaching is less than fifty
per cent efficient, why our boys and
girls have SO little to show for the
time they have devoted to oral and
written expression, is that we have
been too practical, too utilitarian, too
intent upon method. that we have Sc
isproportionately concerned ourselves
with the body of the subject that we
have .disregarded the claims and even
lathe existence of its soul.

THE FEELING FOR LITERATURE

cerning the teacher of politeness 1S,'
Has he the spirit of courtesy; has
he the feeling for etiquette?" and
the crucial question concerning the
teacher of religion is, Has he the
spirit of devotion, has he the feeling
for religion?" so, it seems to me, the
crucial question concerning the teach
er of English is, HAS he the spirit
of art, has he the feeling for lftera-
ture?" Whether he has read books
about books, has written a dry paper
on how to secure interest, uses the
dramatic method in his teaching, in
Sists on word-analysis, believes in the
efficiency of paraphrasing = such
things are relatively unimportant.
But, assuming that he has a grasp of
three or four general principles that
underlie all teaching, he is a good
teacher of English, and he must be
successful teacher of English, if he
knows and loves some of the really
great books of the world, if he would
rather talk Shakespeare. than talk
gossip, if he spends more time over
Dante and Calderon than he spends
over his newspaper, if he would rather
soar with Shelley's. skylark. than eat
his dinner But If he maintains or
implies that over the Top" is a
greater book than "A Tale of Two
Cities that the solid sonnets of Mr..
Walt Mason are more stimulating
than the ethereal sonnets of Petrarca,
| that game of bridge is more enjoy
able than a wrestling-bout with Brown
| ing, that vaudeville show is more
! satisfying than presentation of King
Lear then, even though he has writ
| ten dismal books on how to teach Eng
lish, even though he is able to dis
cuss methodology SO obscurely that
| even professors of psychology can't
| follow him, that man is not fit teach
/ er of English, not proper breaker Of
literary bread He lacks vital enthus-
iasm, enthusiasm that ought to be ir-
resistible, contagious. He lacks lit
erary taste; and though men there be
who smirk in superior way at the
mention of the old-fashioned word, let
me assure you that when a teacher of
English lacks taste he is not unlike
the teacher of etiquette who eats peas
with knife and the teacher of relig-
ion who never says his prayers. His
teaching, as Mr.. H. G.. Wells would
7ay, is like grating mummy steak on
wing flesh and boiling fossils for
soup. He has not the spirit of art, he
has not the feeling for literature.
But it may be objected, the man
thus heartlessly pictured may be a
good practical teacher for all that.
Maybe he does like his newspaper bet
ter than he likes Shakespeare and
caviar sandwiches better than THE
Ring and the Book Let us concede,
4 even, that he never reads really
great piece of literature at all except
under compulsion. Be 1t so; but can't
he teach grammar?
Possibly he can; but he can't-and
he doesn't teach his pupils to speak
| and write good English. am reluc.

HISTORIC PAPAL NEUTRALITY

to him and unburdened her soul of
her secret. She was not validly mar
ried to Napoleon. The Pope refused
to crown her till, the evening before,
they were properly married by Car
dinal Fesch. Plus, in spite of the
risk, refused to allow Madame Tai
leyrand to be presented to him. His
conscience made him omit the usual
communion of the sovereign as part
of the ceremony. 1t was one thing
to anoint and. crown the man; he
could not require him to make his
communion, when he had every rea-
son to believe that it would be sac
rilegious Although the Pope stood
out so firmly for every point that
would have involved any real COM
promise of principle, many Cardinals
still doubted whether he was well ad-
vised in going to Paris at all. Ger
tainly his journey was not calculated
to please Napoleons enemies.
In war between Christian powers
the Holy See remains neutral. Every
sensible person understands that this
is the only possible policy, when there
are Catholics on either side. Did not
this coronation of Napoleon COM
promise the Pope's neutrality? Would
it not give an opportunity to the
others TO complain that he had thrown
in his lot with the French?
Plus VII, though he went, to crown
Napoleon, did not at all take this
view. In spite of SO great favor,
he meant to keep, and did keep,
scrupulous neutrality during the wars
that followed In those days the
question of Papal neutrality was on
different footing from that of our
time. The Papal States still existed.
The Pope was king of a small coun-
try. which yet, by it's central posi-
ton and it's ports in the Mediter-
ranean, was of some Importance. In
war there seemed a priOri no rea-
son why this State should not take
a side, as well as any other. 1t was
so surrounded by Napoleon'S power
that it might we'll seem as if he could
force it to take his side. But he
never did. All through the Pope,
Father of Christendom, steadily re-
fused to commit himself either way.
He had children on both sides The
French and their Italian allies were
Catholics. Against them were Prot
estant England and Sweden, and
schismatical Russia. Would not the
Popes sympathies be rather against
these? Yet on that side was Cath
olic Austria. So Plus refused to COM
nit the Holy See either way. What
ever his personal feelings were, he
never betrayed them.

ITY OF VATICAN WAR WORK

cent collective letter to him. The
Pope's letter runs as follows:
ITO Michael Cardinal Logue, Arch
hIShop of Armagh and to the other
Archbishops and Bishops of Ireland:
Beloved Son and Venerable Broth
ers,-Health and Apostolic Benedic
tion. With lively pleasure we have
learned from the letter, which you COL
lectively addressed to us on the 26th
OF last June, that the decree proclaim
ing the martyrdom of the Venerable
Oliver Plunket was received with pro-
found joy by the whole Irish people.
OF this, Venerable Brothers, we felt
quite certain, knowing we'll in what
deep veneration you hold that sturdy
w
guarded at the price of his blood the
sacred patrimony of the faith left to
YOU as a glorious patrimony by ST.
Patrick, true representative in this. of
the generous Irish people, which has
been ever the strenuous defender at
home and the illustrious propagation
of the Catholic faith in the most dis
tant regions.
of such faith and of your attach
ment to this chair of truth is also a
testimony that which you express,
Venerable Brothers, in the remainder
of your letter l. e., that you gratefully
receive the new Code of Canon Law
and you protest against the insidious
campaign of calumny and hate, of
which our person and work have been
made the object. Very opportunely
