EDUCATIONAL MEET
CATHOLIC EDUCATIONAL CON.
VENTION GATHERS IN
ST. LOUIS.

The secular system of education in
the United States was denounced ma
terialistic' by speakers at the Cath
olic Educational Association in annual
convention in st. Louis last Monday
The Rt. Rev. Thomas j. Shahan,
president of the Catholic university at
Washington and president of the AS
sociation, declared present day educa-
ton resulted from modern material
istic philosophy and that such philo-
sophical systems had brought "Eu-
rope into ruin and misery from which
it would not recover for centuries"
'Catholic education and spirituality
must be relied upon to counteract the
effects of this philosophy" he said.
Archbishop Glennon also spoke, and
a timely paper by Cardinal O'Connell,
of Boston, was read.

At the request of Cardinal Almaraz
Y Santos of Spain, Pope Benedict XIV

Iafsss.,s Day for the entire world. The
Cardinal has interested himself in the

years and has worked untiringly for

taking part both by prayer and the
presentation of an offering, in the
observance of Catholic Press Day,
which has been organized by the eccle-

POLES AND JEWS
REPORTS OF MASSACRES OF
JEWS NOT TRUE.

Cablegrams protesting against the
claims of Poland's inhuman treat
ment of the Jews, which are being
made in the United States through
organized mass meetings and news
paper articles, have been sent by the
Society of Polish Engineers and Mer-
chants in America (33 w. Thirty-ninth
Street, New York City,, to President
Wilson, the chief of the Polish state,
Gen. Joseph Pilsudski, to the speaker
of the Polish parliament, Wladyslaw
Trapczynski, and to the Polish pre-
mier, l. J. Paderewski.
The cablegrams declared that this
organized and unjustified campaign,
undertaken seemingly in the interest
of the Polish Jews, in fact serves
quite different interests and is liable
to create animosity between citizens
of both creeds.

country was Catholic and that the
Church stood against bolshevism.

CHAIRMAN ON TRAINING CAMP
ACTIVITIES MAKES SUGGES.
TIONS AND CRlTICISMS-Fo
DICK IN REPORT ON WAR VEL
FARE WORK HAS PRAISE FOR
KNIGHTS AND COUNCIL.

: Warm praise for both the Knights
OF Columbus and the Special Com
mlttee of the National Catholic War
Council is given in a report of the
activities of these and other organiza-
t1ons of a similar character, made to
the Secretary of War by Raymond B.
Fosdlck, chairman of the Commission
on training Camp Activities, who has
just returned from France.
Mr.. Fosdick, with whom the Secre-
tary Of War is in substantial accord
points out very frankly the faults of
these organizations. He says, for
example, that legitimate criticism
OF the Knights of Columbus is that
the amount of it's work in France is
not so large as it's allotment from the
general fund raised in the last great
drive would warrant, and he suggests
that they are losing an opportunity in
not employing women.
But the faults of the Y. NJ. G.. A.
are pointed out no less frankly. Some
OF the criticism of the organization
he says, is merited, though much of
it is without foundation. He attrib-
utes many of it's difficulties to lack of
adequate personnel; and of it's work
III the army canteens says fatty: 81
believe it was mistake for the Y. NJ
c. A. to go into this business at ALL"
With the rehabilitation of the
army, the necessity for these activi-
ties is passing; and Mr.. Fosdick sug-
Fgests that all welfare work be done
henceforth by the army itself. This
recommendation is in line with the
general conclusion he reaches that,
however great the credit due these
welfare organizations, it was a mis-
take to adopt system of religious
stratification in work of this charac-
ter. He advocates, should the occa-
sion again arise, placing control in
one non-sectarian organization
This proposal is not at all new.
When the United States entered the
war the suggestion was made to Sec
retary Baker by Col. Callahan, of
Louisville, then in charge of the
Knights of Columbus activities, that
the Y. M. G. A. eliminate it's evangeli-
cal work, and that all organizations
entering the field join with it to carry
on welfare work on a non-sectarian
basis. This proposal the Y. M. c. A.
authorities rejected, and the War De-
partment had no alternative but to
admit the Knights of Columbus and
other organizations on an equal foot
ing with the Y. M. G.. A.

RESERVE, WIS, SCENE OF UNIQUE
EVENT-CORPUS CHRISTI CON-
MEMORATED WITH BECOMING
RITES-GOV ERNOR PHILLIP
TAKES ACTIVE PART-FATHER
GORDON, THE INDIAN PRIEST,
WAS IN CHARGE.

At one of the largest gatherings of
Indians ever recorded for Wisconsin,
Father Gordon, the Indian priest, in
troduced Gov. Phillip as the orator
of the day on June 10, in combined
Corpus Christi Festa and a Soldiers
home coming celebration, at Reserve,
Wis. Indians began to arrive at Re-
serve on the Lac Court Oreille Reser-
vation several days before Corpus
Christi, camping out near the Catholic
Mission which was dotted with tents
and wigwams, some Indians driving as
far as one hundred miles to be pres
ent
The festival proper began the day
before with the welcoming of three
Sioux delegations from three different
Sioux reservations in South Dakota:
Standing Rock and the Pine Ridge in
Bishop Lawler's diocese, and Yankton
in Bishop O'Gorman's diocese. At
nine o'clock on Corpus Christi, in the
presence of Bishop Koudeika, Father
John Doherty, city missionary of st.
Paul, sang a solemn high Mass at
which the Bishop preached in Chip
pewa, a remarkable feature of the
celebration. Governor Phillip and
staff attended and were seated in the
front pew Immediately in front of
Indians dressed in most gorgeous
colors and jingling trappings. Father
Patrick O'Mahoney, silver-tongued
preacher of the diocese of Superior,
who was to have preached, was de-
layed by an auto mishap and did not
arrive until late in the afternoon, as
also Bishop John T. McNicholas who
came within twelve miles of Reserve
where he was delayed for several
hours, missing the festival. The
Bishop was to have taken one hundred
Indian men and over fifty Catholic
Indian soldiers into the Holy Name
Society.
Immediately following the Mass, a
great procession formed with BishoI
Koudelka presiding in miter and cope
and wound through the little Indian
village and out into the pine forest

sively by Father Doherty, celebrant,
Father Habraken, pastor of Hayward
and Father Aman of the Superior
Cathedral, the procession disbanded at
the church where Gov. Phillip presided
at a typical Indian banquet given by
the Indians to the distinguished guests
and to the eighty or more Indian sol
diers from the reservation. Among
those present at the banquet were
Monsignor Sleyin of Faribault, State
Senator Wilkinson, DR.. Brown, head
of Wisconsin Historical Society, Dr.
Evans of the University of Wisconsin,
General Holway, Prof. Deimer of the
State Historical Society, r. G.. Craige,
representing the Federal government,
and others, besides a number of
clergy.
At two O'Clock, Chief Baker of the
St. Croix band Of Indians, addressed
the Governor, followed by Billy Boy,
the Chippewa Indians greatest orator
Father Gordon then introduced Sheriff
Hans F'uley who welcomed the Gov
ernor in behalf of the whites The
Governor spoke for one full hour, and
he held the attention of a crowd
thought to have numbered three thou
sand Indians. The Governor spoke on
the Indians part in the war and Wis
consin's alleged disloyalty. Following
the speeches, after the Indians had
introduced themselves to the Gov
ernor, the famous Victory Dance, a
dance that the Chippewas have not
performed since 1862 when they re-
turned from their last fight with the
Sioux, commenced Hundreds Joined
in, including the soldiers, and the
grounds appeared one mass of moving
colors. At a pause in the dance, Billy
Boy and Father Gordon formally
adopted Governor Phillip into the
Chippewa tribe, giving him the name
of the greatest chieftain ever pro-
duced by the Chippewa nation, Hole
in-the-Day, great war chief and leader
The Governor responded very feeling
ly to this additional mark of high
honor.
Sports were then carried on, and
at six o'clock Governor Phillip re-
turned to the Wismo Angling Club.
The club officials had placed it's
fashionable club house at the disposal
of Father Gordon for the service and
entertainment of his guests. The
Governor returned to Madison in the
evening, but the Indian celebration
and dances continued for two days,
one day being added in honor of the
Sioux Indians.

months as civilian adviser, has this to
say of the work of the knights of
Columbus and the Special Committee
OF the National Catholic War Council:
Praise and Criticism.
THE knights of Columbus, as one
OF the branches of the National Cath
olic War Council is carrying on work
largely similar in plan to that of the
Y. M. c. A. 1t has substantial num-
Der OF huts and recreation halls, and
1t has done good work among some
OF the scattered units so located that
they received little attention from the
other societies. 1t has done a great
deal, too, to stimulate the interest
OF the army in boxing, and it is TAX
ing generally prominent part in the
lnterallied games being held at Per-
shing Stadium near Paris.
"A legitimate criticism of the activ-
tiles OF the Knights of Columbus
would lie in the fact that the amount
OF its work in France is not as large
as the size of it's allotment in last
falls campaign would seem to sug-
gest. The knights were late i'm start
Ing with the A. E. F., and they have
never succeeded in overcoming that
handicap. Moreover, | believe that
they are losing real opportunity for
service through their failure to employ
women personnel. After eight months
with the troops in France, | am con-
Vlnced that the average woman work
er attached to a hut is worth four or
five men workers. Certainly her
effect on the morale and spirit of the
troops is extraordinary. An honest
to-God American GIRL as the soldiers
call her, can do more to keep the men
cheerful and create an atmosphere of
home than any other factor; and the
work of our women in France-Y. w.
{. A. girls, Salvation Army girls, Red
Cross girls and the representatives of
other agencies-has been in no small
degree responsible for the unf1agging
devotion and inexhaustible patience,
with which our troops carried forward
their high enterprise.
Ihe work OF the Special Commit
tee of the National Catholic War
Council, which corresponds somewhat
| roughly to the Y. M. c.. A, is being
conducted in Paris with marked sue
cess. Indeed, think the institution,
which this committee is conducting in
Avenue Wagram in Paris, is perhaps
one of the most interesting and sig
| nificant pieces of work in the city;
| and it is gratifying to learn that it
is being extended, and that the Spe-
| cial Committee is assuming larger re-
sponsibilities in connection with the
living conditions of our women war
workers in Paris and elsewhere The
crowded conditions of French cities
| make work of this kind absolutely
essential"

RUINS OF TEMPLE IN ROME.

Now that the Palazzo Caffarelli on

of the Italian State and an integral
part of the Archaeological Zone" of

to begin research on that historic
spot. Professor Lanciani has already
found tangible proof of what was al
ready known, the existence of ruins
of the Temple of Jupiter Capitolinus
under the modern palace, and the in
tention is to pull down the latter en-
tirely to have free play for an archaeo-
