A real school is more than four
walls and a name. It is an institu-
tion and an inspiration. It repre-
sents, on the one hand, the slow de-
velopment Of ideals as old as the ma
tion; on the other, It represents not
merely q growth Of campus and
equipment, but also the definite an
swer Of our ablest men and women to
the problems OF our Government and
society.
Viewed historically, it dates back
to the earliest plans OF the first set
tiers; viewed alphabetically, It is the
work Of many men and women united
in the determination TO give to this
and the generations to follow the best
that modern education has made
Svaflable.
II satisfactory advantages in teach
ers and courses and equipment were
al that entered into the question OF
the best school for the child. or even
II there were other important cOnsid-
erations, but these were the most i'm
portant. then the problem of the
school best suited to the particular
child would be greatly simplihed.
Many parents fan to see that the
most important thing TO consider in
the selection Of the school Is some
thing outside OF the faculty and the
courses and equipment It is that
which we call the spirit OF the school,
the ideals Of it
It is that something that goes into
the education Of the young that
comes out Of the surroundings which
is sfhcacious In the formation Of
habits and character. And a. habits
and character are the greatest things
OF education in the true sense, so
these things are, IN a sense, the vital
and chief things.

new BISHOP OF PARIS
MGR. GOSSELlN BELONGS TO A
DISTINGUISHED FAMILY
OF PARIS.

The choice of the Holy Father for
coadjutor Bishop of Paris has caused
much satisfaction, as Mgr. Gosselin is
Partisan of Paris The present
Archbishop in Norman, his predeces-
sor was a Breton. Mgr. Octave RO-
d-Gosselin, the new auxiliary, be-
longs to wealthy and honorable fam
lily of the capital itself. Among his
relations there are many priests and
nuns, and also laymen, who are we'll
to the front in all charitable under
takings.
Mgr. Gosselin, who will be conse-
Grated Bishop of Mosynople, was born
in Paris in 1870. He is the twelfth
child of his parents, who had alto
gether thirteen children. He is the
fifth priest that his family has given
to the Church in the course of a CEN
tury. He was educated by the Jesuits
of the Rue de Madrid, and when only
a lad of fifteen spent many months in
Rome with his family. In 1890 he
entered the Seminary of Issy, and, FIVE
years later, he was ordained priest.

Who were the raiders who carried it :?
History suggests an answer. The
Celt OF the Lothians was not a pirate
Neither was he savage who would
cash thing of beauty with battle
axe and chisel. But we know that
long before the Romanized Britons
were abandoned to their fate by the
central government, the sea robbers
from the Frisian coast had become
formidable menace. The suggestion
that it was Angles or SaXons who
buried the silver is curiously and
finally confirmed by the occurrence in
the hoard of one or two articles of
Enthusiastically Teutonic workmanship
buckle, silver fibula, and what
seems to be a hand-mirror made of
bronze. No objects of a similar kind
have yet been found upon the hill at
all. The pirates, therefore, were not
in occupation long. And, when they
did leave it was either in hot haste
or with the. fulgintention of returning,
otherwise. they would have taken
their store of bullion with them.

FATHER SCHATz DEAD
PASTOR OF GIBBoN, MINI, MEETS
UNTIMELY END WHILE TEMPO
RARllY iNSANE-HELD SEW
ERAL PASToRATEs IN THE DID,
CESE.

A message from Gibbon, Mimi, re-
ceived in st. Paul last Wednesday
morning, conveyed the sad news that
Rev. Valerian t. Schatz, pastor of the
Church Of ST. Willibrord, had been
found dead in the pastoral residence
the previous evening. Death was due
to q gun-shot wound in the head: and
from the decomposed condition of the
remains it is believed that he was dead
for more than a week before the body
was found. Death was evidently self
inflicted, as the gun was found beside
the body. 1t is believed that he was
temporarily insane. The doors Of the
residence were locked and he had not
been seen in the parish for some time
The parish is small one and he often
spent the greater part OF the week at
the family home in Montgomery, and
this is probably the reason why the
parishionerS did not seek to ascertain
the cause OF his more than usually
protracted absence. The remains
were inferred in the family plot in
Montgomery.
Father Schatz was born in Chicago,
H., March "a, 1879. The family came
to Minnesota in 1881, and located in
Montgomery. Father Schatz studied
classics at the College of St. Thomas,
and philosophy and theology at ST
Paul Seminary, where he was ordained
on June 13, 1904. He was assistant
in the parish of st. Agnes, ST. Paul,
for some time before he was appointed
pastor Of the parish Of Lucan and its
mission, Milroy, where he remained
until December, 1910, when he was
transferred to Hector. In June, 1915.
he was appointed pastor of the parish
of Gibbon and few years ago built
the commodious pastoral residence of
the parish Of st. Willibrord. His
brother, Rev. Stephen Schatz, is To-
Gated in Milwaukee, Wis.

In 1900 he took his degree as Doctor

In 1900 he took his degree as Doctor
in Theology.
Even before he became a priest
Mgr. Roland-Gosselin was strongly
drawn towards social and religious
work among the poor of the great city
where he was born. During the war
he was mobilized, and acted as naval
chaplain on board man-of-war On
account of his health he had been
dispensed from military service before
the war broke out, but, like many 9TH
ers, he elected to serve at a moment
of supreme peril, with the Arch
bishops full consent.
Mgr. Roland-Gosselin belongs to a
family where Catholic traditions are
passed from one generation to another
as a sacred inheritance; one of his
cousins, an unmarried woman, indie
pendent and wealthy, has built, out of
her private fortune, eight churches
and chapels in the poorest quarters
of Paris; one of his brothers, now
dead, became priest; one of his
nephews is Cure" of an outlying sub
urban parish; and another of his rel
atives, woman of great charity and
charm, was one of the victims of the
catastrophe . of the Bazaar de la

BAC0N|AN Anniversary
CELEBRATED AT OXFORD, ENG.
-FATHER RICkABY GIVES
ADDRESS.

The second annual commemoration
of Roger Bacon, the Franciscan phil
osopher was held recently at Oxford,
on the site of the ancient Franciscan
Church, where two years ago me-
mortal tablet was erected to the great
Franciscan scholar. In the presence
of representative gathering, Father
Cuthbert, 0. S. F. c., Principal of the
Franciscan House of Studies, recited
prayers for the repose of the souls of
Roger Bacon and his Franciscan
brethren who were buried in the
churchyard of the Friars adjoining the
church. Father Joseph Rickaby, S.
j., gave an inspiring address on
the merits of Roger Bacon as critic
and philosopher No one, he said,
would deny that Roger Bacon made
mistakes in his criticism of his con-
temporaries and in his attitude
towards other thinkers of his time
Nevertheless, Roger Bacon's message
to his age was one of truth when he
urged the scholastic philosophers to
widen the basis of their knowledge by
scientific experiment and by the
study of languages and history, and
the original texts of the Scriptures
Had the school men listened to his
message, the decline of scholasticism
in the fourteenth and fifteenth cen.
turtles would have been arrested 1t is
for us today to take Roger Bacon's
message to heart

favors conferred on the disciples;
they were powers attached to their
office and are handed down to those
who succeed in that Office The same
is true of the power of forgiving sins.
AS long as the Church lasts and the
Office OF the priesthood exists, that
power will be exercised through con-
fession
What is the use Of going to con-
fession when you know that you are
going to commit the same sins over
again?
If you have made up your mind to
commit the same sins over again it
would be well for you to stay away
from confession. There can he no
good confession without a firm pur-
pose OF amendment. BY experience
we know that we are weak and that
in spite Of all our good resolutions we
may fall into sin again. At the same
time we trust that by the grace of
God and determination to avoid the
occasions of sin that we may keep
ourselves free from sin. If a penitent
has an earnest wish and will make a
sincere effort to avoid sin there can
be no doubt but that he has the proper
contrition. One should not stay away
from confession simply because he
fears that he may again fall into sin
There is no better remedy to help us
to avoid sin than frequent confession

The Capranican Colleges owes it's
origin to Cardinal Domenico Capran-
lea. 1t was founded by him in his own
palace in the year 1417. He intended
that it should take in 81 poor clerics
who would receive maintenance and
education in it. Being the first SEM
mary in Rome, it bears the title of
''Almo Collegio Capranicense,' the
other colleges being known as ''Ven-
erabili." 1t did not continue, how
ever, in the Cardinals palace, but
Dominico's brother, Angelo-himself
also Cardinal-had a magnificent
building erected for it near by, which
the college has continued to occupy
down to the present day The found
er himself drew up the rules of the
college, assigning the care Of it to a
number OF patrons. According to the
University custom of the time the
students elected their own rector by
usage which was often attended with
serious inconvenience, necessitating
the interference of the Pope, who gave
the right in certain circumstances to
the nations, and finally placed it in
the hands of the Cardinal Protector.
The college was little more than
century old when the Constable of
Bourbon, with his Lutheran hordes, be-
sieged the Eternal City. The rector
and students of the Capranican were
among the armed defenders of the
Porta Santo Spirito, and they fell fight

existence, it's rules and customs under
going certain notifications at the
hands OF the Popes to adapt them to
changing circumstances The POpes
always manifested provident regard
for the College, issuing Bulls from
time to time to regulate its discipline
and management. During the French
Revolution it shared the fate of so
many similar institutions. 1t was re-
established, however, in 1907, the num-
Der of free students being now reduced

claimed to exercise the rights of the
old Roman municipality over it.
Among the famous men educated in
the College beside his present Holi-
ness may be mentioned the late Car
dinals Rampolla and Serafino Vannu-
telli. 1t also claims the honor of hav-
ing educated Cardinal Vincenza Van
nutelli, Dean of the Sacred College;
its present Protector, Cardinal Rinal-
dini, Cardinal Vice-Prefect Of the Sa-
cred Congregation of Rites; Cardinal
Bisleti, Prefect of the Congregation
Of Studies; Cardinal Marini, Secre-
tary of the Congregation for the Ori-
entail Church; and Cardinal Basilieri,
Bishop of Verona. Several Archbis-
hops and Bishops, and at least two
Servants of God, came out from it.

The POPt'S COLLEGE
BENEDICT XIV WAS EDUCATED
AT THE CAPRANlcAN COLLEGE
Its ORIGIN AND GROWTH
DISTINGUISHED GRADUATES.

The Capranican College in Rome,
may not inaptly be called the Pope's
College, because he studied there from
1875 to 1879. He has always regarded
it with particular affection, and it will
be remembered how he attested his
affection two years ago by making it
the Liberian Seminary BY a 'Motu
Proprio'' he attached it to the Liberian
Basilica of ST. Mary Major, giving the
students the special privilege of serv-
ing Our Lady's greatest Roman sane
tuary. They assist in the ceremonies
of the solemn offices, and the Rector
Of the college (pro tempore) has the
right to place in the Chapter of the
Basilica. Besides other tokens of
munifcence the Pope also authorized
it to take in more students recruited
from Rome and the other dioceses of
Italy.

first steps toward adopting the plans
of John H. Reddin, of Denver, for
characterization and education on
wide scale, as outlined by Mr.. Reddin
in a Chicago address that attracted
international attention several months
ago A committee was appointed to
go into the plan in detail and to make
a report at the supreme council meet
ing in Buffalo next month. The COM
mitteemen were authorized to call to
their aid such prominent educators of
the country as they desire.
The movement will direct it's first
efforts against radicalism masquerad-
ing as Bolshevism and other fake
reconstruction policies. Extensive
vocational school facilities for army
and navy men are contemplated
This is one OF the first steps that
will make the K of G.. as valuable in
every respect for young men in civil

ANCIENT VESSELS FOUND
OF THE FOURTH TURY
FOUND ON BALFOUR'S ESTATE
IN SCOTLAND.

Interesting results have followed a
search which the Society of Anti
quaries of Scotland has been prose-
cutting at Traprain Kaw, prominent
landmark lying between the East
Lothian seaboard and the range of
the Lammermoors, on Mr. A. j. Bal
four's Whittinghame estate Finds
have been made there which have
been described by a writer in the
Scotsman The excavators came
upon pit feet deep and 2 feet
wide, filled to the brim with metal
vessels, etc. Everything was care
fully removed and taken to Edinburgh
for examination When the boxes
were opened, they were found to con-
tain a rich collection of fourth cen
tury silver plate, whose crushed and
broken condition stamped it as loot
and destined for the melting-pot. Two
tiny coins gave the date: the first had
been struck by Valens, who was en-
peror from 264 to 37S A D.; the other
by one Of his successors, either Ora
tian or Honorius The appearance of
the metal might have suggested pew
ter, but the beauty of the decoration
left no room for doubt as to it's being
something much more precious. AS
the coating of dirt was removed from
one piece after another, fresh features
Of interest constantly emerged. At
first the ornament seemed predomi-
nantly classical; Pan, with his pipes,
and the birth of Venus were promi-
nent among the figure subjects. But
later the Miraculous Draught of
Fishes was detected On another ves-
sci, while more than one example of
the Chi-Rho monogram was noted
among the inscriptions.
In view of the strength of the Chris
tian element it seemed not unlikely
that the cachet had contained the
spoil of a monastery, and there is
much in the general character of the
find that goes to confirm this hypothe-
sis. The vessels have been of the
most miscellaneous sort-fagons, chal-
ices, platters, bowls, spoons, and the
like. But there are one or two Of
them that must surely have been
church furniture delicately fash
ioned little strainer, for instance, has
the holes with which it is pierced ar
ranged in such a way as to form the
Chi-Rho monogram in the center, and
the legend Jesus Christus' round the
margin. Again on a plain band that
surrounds the neck of richly deco
rated flask, is punctured inscription,
the first and last letters of which are
separated by the Chi-Rho monogram,
flanked by Alpha and Omega. The in
scription itself "Prymiacoeisiapi"
has not yet been satisfactorily inter
preted, but it is conceivable that it
may ultimately yield the name of the
abbey to which the vessel originally
belonged.
The gem of the collection is prob
ably the embossed cup with illustra-
tions from Bible history. This, by the
way, had originally been gilded. 1t
displays the same indefnable charm
that one associates with the work of
the early Renaissance. The loot was
carried to East Lothian from Gaul.

HINDU PRIEST A CONVERT
LABoRED AMONG EAST INDIANS
IN TRINIDAD.

Paul Bahantee Persad was a Hindu
priest laboring among the East In

education in an Indian college at
Delhi. After carefully studying the
doctrines of the Catholic Church for
more than two years with the aid of
eatechism and simple prayer-book
in Hindu, the only language he under
stands, he was baptized at St. Paul's
Church.
The conversion is remarkable mas
much as East Indian priests rarely
embrace any western faith.
