WHAT THE CHURCH IS DOING.

India has approximately 100000 vii
lagos. OF these only l in "a has any
kind of school, In Ceylon six per
cent of the population is Christian.
This is high average for a pagan
country, when the caste system is al
most an unsurmountable obstacle to
the spread of Christian knowledge.
Contributions to the American Com
mittee for Armenian and Syrian relief
reached $7,500,000 This sum has been
further increased since January by an
additional quarter of million dollars
From an authentic source it is
learned that, at present, studying in
American colleges are 1,4O0 Chinese,
1000 from Japan, 200 from Korea, 300
from the Philippines, and $50 from
India. These young students will
eventually return to their native lands
convinced of the benefits of Chris
tianity, but will it be Catholic or Prot
estant? 1t is safe to say that not
one per cent of this group is in Cath
Ollie colleges.
The Church IN Indie, according te
the Franciscan annals of India, pos
sesses 1920 European and 1000 In

MANY PRAYERS.

Many prayer Tor those sitting in
the darkness of pagansm is waited
up to the throne of mercy from the
hearts of little Catholic boys and girls

Holy Eucharist, says the Christian
Family. Who can say how many times
the Immaculate Lamb of God is of
fered up from their innocent hearts
for the pagans and for those working
among them, the missionary Fathers,
Brothers and Sisters, who labor in
the distant harvest fields of the Lord ?
Such zeal for the spread of our holy
Faith, such love for their little pagan
brothers and sisters, shows that the
spirit of Jesus Christ is working in
their souls.

The day before her death she re-

A GOOD CHOICE.

Rev. Father Allard, P. F. NJ, who
looks after the Chinese who have mi
grated to India, says of one of the
pupils in his school:
"A pagan boy, about thirteen years
old, has been for long time worrying
his family to allow him to become a
Catholic. At last his parents said they
had no objection whatever, as it was
for him to see whether it was the right
thing to do. Now that boy, instead
of remaining home during the holt
days, has asked and obtained permits
sion to come back and live at the
mission. He is here now, and | see
him often in company with another
boy (orphan and pagan studying
catechism instead of playing. Truly,
schools are the great hope of the
future, and give US great consolation;

EDUCATIONAL MATERIAL FOR
CHILDREN.

In even the thriftiest and most eco
! nomical family more money is spent
foolishly on meaningless flimsy toys
for children than parents realize,
writes Dorothy Garfield in the Echo.
The familiar five-cent bag of candy
which many country children expect
on a trip to town would buy box of
colored crayons which would be we'll
spring of joy and profit to them for
days and days. The cheap twenty
| fve-cent gaudily dressed doll which
goes to pieces after day or so of Wig
crous play, costs as much as five
pounds of potter's, clay which would
make innumerable toy dishes, and be
the source of incalculable educational
| advancement. If the mother, away
on shopping tour can resist the
temptation to take the children some
thing in the shape of a poorly con-
structed woody lamb which loses it's
legs in the first half-hour's play; if
she can persuade the visiting aunt to
let her spend the money which was
to have bought candy, very bad for
little teeth; if she can head off the
bachelor friend from bestowing a me-
chanieal top which becomes uninter-
esting after the second day, she will
soon have money enough to buy a
treasure store of profitable educa-
tional playthings which will last
through the children's early years.
Colored crayons cost five cents
box; for another nickel good supply
of wrapping paper can be bought
from the grocer, which, cut into large
square sheets, furnishes the back
ground for much drawing. and col
oring by artists of three and four
years. They can be. shown how to
draw around a drinking, glass or a
small plate, to make circles; around
a block to make a square; around a
salt cellar to make an oblong, and
they delight in co1oring the designs
thus formed. This is fine preparatory
training for writing. These colored
designs can afterward be cut out by
the children with blunt-pointed scis-
sors and this furnishes another eX-
ercise for the hand. The general
opinion is that children under five
are not able to use scissors, but there
are many exceptions to this rule.
AS the children grow older they
like to change from colored crayons
to water colors, a box of which can be
bought for ten cents. Such a box is,
next to modelling clay, the most last
ing satisfaction to children, and the
uses to which it can be put are not
to be counted The spools which they
have been playing with can be col
ored brightly and made into necklaces
All the designs they have made and
colored with colored crayons can be
colored with water color with fresh
pleasure. Old magazines with large
size pictures can be colored, and the
children if bit encouraged, are very
apt to make large drawings on the big
sheets of wrapping paper and color
those. Paper dolls cut out of fashion
magazines and colored by the children
not only cost nothing but give excel
lent practice to hand and eye. The
mother should remember that any
child who has had much practice in
handling pencils and brushes has an
immense advantage over others when
he goes to school and begins to learn
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1918-08-24

to read and write. After the child
passes his fourth birthday, his mother
should take special pains to encour-
age him to use his fingers in drawing
and coloring, although never in small
designs, which might tire his eyes.
On the whole. perhaps the very best
use that the country mother can make
of money saved by economies on
candy and f1imsy toys is to buy herself
few good books which will give her
valuable hints on her new profession
of motherhood She does not dram
Of trying to get along without a good
cookbook why should she think she
can manage all the. details of another
new business without any instruction?
/ Let her, as matter of course, put on
the kitchen shelf beside the cook
book one or two good mother books
which she can take down and dip into
at odd minutes as she waits for the
water to boil or the oven to heat. One
of these books will cost her but a
two-cent stamp, and if she reads it
carefully will give her innumerable
suggestions. This is the catalogue of
any firm handling kindergarten ma
terial. Most of the country mothers
know nothing of the material sold by
such firms and will be surprised to
find that valuable educational ma
terial is offered at prices which make
it far cheaper than common toys,
bought at the stores, and that she will
need no training to make excellent
use of much that is intended for class
use. At the back of such a catalogue
is a list of very inexpensive books
for mothers which will give her sug-
gestions for paper-cutting, clay-model-
ing and drawing.
But the great, great beauty and
value of country life for the child is
too big theme to do more than touch
upon in so condensed a sketch. This
is, of course, his closeness to nature
and all sorts of natural processes
which go on about him. But even
here he needs his mothers help, for
without it he must lose much time in
misdirected effort. When he is SO
tiny that he can only look on, his
mother, if she is wise, will see to it
that he has chance to look on, that
he sees the horses watered, the cows
MIXED, the chickens fed, the garden
planted, the butter made, the wash
ing done and the hay cut. AS fast as
he can understand she will give him a
simple explanation of all these vital
events. and as soon as he is strong
enough to take part in these activities
she will use her ingenuity to devise
ways for him to take a genuine part
in the family life. Of course, he will
bother more than he helps at first, and
nobody but his mother will have the
patience to join the work done about
him, But to her they will be inestim-
ably precious and necessary for his
development and she will take the
greatest pains not to discourage him.
If, in addition to the hand-work men
toned above, the country mother will

In the willing heat of midsummer
days it is gratifying to our imagina-
tions, at least to think about Northern
missions buried in their icy nantes.
Amid the drifts of the Canadian
Northwest is a cluster of missions in
charge of the Oblate Fathers, whose
Iabors have been crowned with great
success. The history of the wander
ings of the early missionaries with
their Indian tribes reads like a
romance, and the fiourishing centers
of Catholicity today are an evidence
of their Gnhagging zeal and untiring
devotion.
