Mr.. George L. Fox,
| New Haven, Conn.
| Your letter of April 18 was a rude
shock to me. When I wrote suggest
ing that the question of the Irish in
the American Revolution be made the
subject of joint friendly discussion
on public platform, thought was
dealing with one on my own level. /

his views and in his knowledge and
Interpretation of the facts of history,
was an honest man. But, now re-
gret to find that addressed myself
to one who acts like denizen of Bill
lingsgate," whose answer to a polite
communication is couched in the sour
rilous language of shyster lawyer
pleading bad case. In this connec-
tion, would simply quote the French
proverb: IF y des reproches qui

You are familiar with my absurd

In the land of Luther, Catholics and
Protestants have struck glad hands
in the Christian party for decent gov.
ernment and in the Isle of ST. Patrick,
Catholics and Protestants are uniting
for liberty.
Let me again quote Custis: per
haps there are Protestants who have
scruples of conscience and therefore
decline to interfere with affairs of Ire.
land" Let me say to them that when
Ireland is free, the Irish people will
first PROSTATE themselves in adoring
thanksgiving unto God and then write
not on perishable marble, but on the
hearts of their children from genera
tion to generation the epitaph of a
Protestant-Robert Emmett. l know
perfectly well, my friends, that Irish
is synonymous with Catholic, and
there is that story of the semi-con-
scious injured Greek who was ques-
toned by priest in various ways as
to whether or not he was Roman
Catholic and finally received the sat-
isfactOry reply: "He was like the
Irish.'
I, myself, am the son of man who
heard upon leaving Ireland as the
last words of his aged mother: "Son,
keep the faith" but gladly acknowl-
edge that while st. Patrick who drove
the snakes from Ireland comes first
in Irish affection and Daniel O'Con-
nell who drove the devil from Ireland
is next, that the succeeding names
written most deeply by love on Irish
hearts are the names of Protestants
-Grattan, Burke, Curran, Parnell, OF
Brien, Wolfe Tone. And l have no
doubt, If these Protestant patriots had
succeeded in driving the English from
Ireland, they would take pre-eminence
even to st. Patrick andf O'Connell.
BY the way, the grandfather of
President Wilson fought for Irish in
dependence under Wolfe Tone in '98
and let us pray that in this year of
the Lord, 1919, that President Wilson
himself will fight for Irish indepen-
dence.
Finally, my friends, it is sign of
a happy millennium that men and wom-
en- of various creeds are assembled
here in love Of one another to express
hatred Of oppression and sympathy
for oppressed people, whether it be
Ireland or Korea, Christian or Pagan.

self shall not stand" Some people
think the Irish question is complex.
Let US simplify It. The question is
not whether Ireland has right to be
free, but whether Great Britain has
. right to enslave her. Ireland asks
nothing but what Great Britain has
robbed her, of-her rights and priv
leges.
The claim of England is to rule by
military force, the claim of Ireland is
% liberty. It is principle of equity

AN INcoNsEQUENTAL REPLY
The University School,
New Haven Conn.

April 18. 1919.
Mr.. Michael ]. O'Brien,
Dear Sir:
have not the slightest desire or
intention to enter into joint debate
with you or any one else. A joint de-
bate, except in rare instances as in
the Lincoln.D Douglas debate or the
Lodge-Lowell debate, never gets any
where. 1t is an intellectual prize fight,
intended to promote falsehood and
obscure the truth, with the audience
bowling like mad all the time. am
familiar with some of your Irish World
and l enjoyed the Evening Posts
review of your recent book, except
that 1t was altogether too mild in deal
ing with your absurd vagaries and
falsehoods. hope some day that
can review that book and then I hope
that the light of truth will dawn in
the dark recesses of your brain.
So far as I know, stand by every
word uttered at Washington and in
my leaflets, of which you have re.
ceived copies. There are slight mis-.
takes, like saying that Michael Davitt
was born in England. He was brought
to England from Ireland when he was
five years old. If you think that you
can prove that have made any false
statements, then go ahead and do your
! best to show me up as liar in some
reputable paper, and send me copy
of the paper. If 1 think your reply
worthy of my powder and shot, you
can rely upon my doing my best to
pulverize you and expose your false.
hoods to an honest and decent world.
If you wish to know what the aver.
age joint debate with any Sim Fein
Irishman is likely to be, then look up
the debate between the INSCRIPTIONS
and unreliable Cecil Chesterton and
the equally y'unscrupulous Vierick of
the, Fatherland.
Yours truly.

SCHOOLMASTER AND SAINT

stood that the vocation of the teach
er was one of the noblest and the
most difficult, and that only trained
men, initiated into the secrets of the
art, should undertake it. If the teach
er today enjoys any honor or esteem
in the world, he owes it, in great part,
to the founder of the Institute of the
Brothers Of the Christian Schools.
st. John Baptist de la Sale has LETT
a deeply marked impress upon the
history of France, of civilization, and
of the Church. His spirit still resides
with his sons. For the people at large
they are known by the familiar but
affectionate title, "the Brothers"
They stand for thoroughness, for
sound and practical knowledge and
methods for efficiency. The textbooks
they write on grammar or arithmetic
or algebra or literature are so clear,
so methodical, so practical that even
unsigned they might be picked out
from any bookshelf and recognized by
these unmistakable characteristics.
Popular education owes these sturdy
and self lf-effacing workers debt of
gratitude which it can never pay.
The Church has ever had in them
devoted and loyal sons. If they are
eminent educators in the true Catho-

always inspired by the ideals of their
father. In days of stress, as in the
French Revolution, when their Secre-
tary-General, Brother Salomon, was
slain for the Faith at the Garmes,
Brother Moniteur guillontined at Rem
nes, Brother Raphael put to death at
Uzes, and their Superior General,
Brother Agatho, imprisoned for
eighteen months because, like his
sons, he would not betray the Faith
Of John Baptist de la Sale; in days
of gloom as in the Franco-Prussian
war when the faith and the patriotism
Of Brother Philippe inspired all Paris;
in the Great War when more than
400 Brothers died for France; in the
quieter times when Brother Azarias
and Brother Potamian in the United
States carried on the noble traditions
of the past, the influence Of their
father, inspires them and their work.
It radiates, too, far beyond the imme-
diate circle Of his own family. Every
one engaged in the task of teaching,
no matter what be the sphere of his
labor, will be convinced on reading
the life, the labors and ideals of the
founder of the Institute of the Broth
ers of the Christian Schools of the
dignity of his calling. He will find
in the La Salle's life and in his gold
en- book, the "Conduite des Ecoles," !"
the practical methods which he must
follow in order to train the mind of
the child to science and learning and
his heart to virtue and piety. And
such is education.

about the Society, are here referred
