TO An FRESHMAN DEAD
SOMEWHERE N FRANCE

During the late war, when Ireland.
with it's hatred of oppression and it's
foolish hope of a square deal was en-
listing its man power by the thousands
under William Redmond, who, Irish
as he was, Joined the English army
that he might strike a blow for free
dom, the deceit that was practiced on
him and his followers was even then
suspected and afterwards proved by
fact.
The following lines were written
about that time but refused publica-
Hon by leading magazine, because,
as the editor wrote, England is now
our ally, and critical attitude might
be misunderstood
With an English Won Kissing in Dub
lin castle, the cottages of the work
men blazing against the sky, the wom-
en- and children terrified and shot
down in the streets, and the leaders
of the people imprisoned by the thou
sands, it does not seem that "criti-
cal attitude" will be misunderstood by
the liberty and justice loving Ameri-
can people.
For what are you lying there, Mike,
With your face to the skies,
Your leg shot away and hole in your
~ side
And your wide-open eyes?
Might it be for your faith, that you
died,
Or the land of your love and your
pride?
Or the woman that chung to your
side?
For these things a man dies.
Did the beldame go promise you, Mike,
She'd make aisy your load
Did she promise you. country and
friends
Instead of the road?
And she only Tightening your chain
Making crimson your well beloved
plain
With the blood Of your patriots slain
May she reap as she sowed.
What for are you lying there, Mike, B
With your face to the sky? M

TRUE EDUCATION THE
HIGHEST POWER

Says Archbishop Spalding: Cali
leo was thought to be a perverter
OF religious truth, but when men
came to understand him they saw
he was light bearer through Gods
heavens. Napoleon, the supreme
man-killer, was a poor shot. The
secret of power in the world of
action lies in the ability to make
the many do what even the strong
est cannot do himself; but his
secret, like that of the poet, is
known only to those to whom it
reveals itself The sense of power
is an essential element in all pleas
ure, as consciousness of defect is
always painful. The highest
power is intellectual and moral,
and to know that it is ours gives
therefore the purest pleasure The
greatest minds and hearts run
greatest perils.

The year 1919 found the stork
less active than in 1918, according
to study of birth statistics for
1919 just made public by the U. S.
Bureau of the Census. In twenty
three states, comprising the birth
registration area, the statistics Of
the bureau show that 1865, 5S5
infants were born in 1919, de-
crease of seven per cent, as com
pared with 1918. Each state in
the area shows a decrease. The
total number of infant deaths was
1912, the births exceeding the
deaths by 573,S53.

WHAT LACK OF UNITY
MEANS.

Much has been said and written
during the past few years on the
need for unity on the subject OF
Catholic education. To a great
extent, indeed, this constant
warning has been fruitful of sue
cess. At the same time the success
has not been by any means COM
plete.s Human nature is such that
only a grave situation or crisis
seems able to awaken the average
man into action.
Many have said that there is no
danger to our schools in, America.
But those have been the ignorant
or the wicked: the real observer
has not failed to notice periodic
outbreaks against our system.
This has not been confined to any
one locality, the Protestant South,
the Puritan East or the indiffer-
ent West: it has manifested itself
in the so called liberal North as
well as elsewhere. Michigan has
joined hands with New Jersey,
Florida and Nebraska. Illinois
and Minnesota have also smiled at
the disturbance, while Georgia
and other illiterate sections have
gloated over every attack.
Lack Of unity among our Cath
| ollie people is sure to inevitably
bring down disaster some fine day
on the whole Catholic system>oi
education. France was not united
and the law of separation wreaked
havoc in the Church all the re-
suit of the efforts Of compare
tive handful of Masons. Russia
was disrupted and is now a prey
to the very Jewish leaders whom
she so long prosecuted.
The only sure safeguard in such
matters is a united front, a strong
spirit Of cooperation, and a thor:
ough realization Of the worth OF
our schools. America, as ,repub.
lie, will not entirely ignore the
rights Of the minority. Twenty
millions Of Catholics form rather
respectable minority and yet un.
less they be bound together in
strongest union, mere handful
lof bigots may easily ( scatter tbs
whole flock. The Knownothine

A PRACTICAL METHOD.

In an article in this issue en-
titled, Running a Church Cam
paign, writer describes the mod
ern method of raising large sums
OF money as contrasted with the
picnic, bazaar or collection sys-
TENS. The analysis is interesting
and at the same time quite illn-
minatlng. 1t shows what can be
accomplished with comparative
ease when a real business method
is adopted in the administration Of
the material interests Of a church.
Now only is the amount raised
in this way usually very much
greater than was the case in the
old fashioned manner ofNobtaining
funds, but the burden is not borne
for months entirely by a few de-
voted workers. The man or
woman Of means is made to realize
that a few dollars is not the limit
Of ones obligations. What is bet
ter still, such people of compare
tive wealth are induced to con-
tribute willingly and even JOY
fully. They realizeS that it is after
all far better to sGive while you
live and enjoy your benefcence, !"
than to leave certain amount to
the uncertainties of post norton
litigation.
The advantage Of this modern
method is apparent also from the
fact that as a rule a person may
pledge a generous amount with
the understanding that He will
have a reasonable time in which
to pay. This enables the cause to
acquire a considerably larger
amount, while the generous donor
is not forced to make too great a
sacrifice by paying all at once.
From every angle this campaign
method should appeal to the ordi-
nary pastor in his local needs.
Such a system installed in parish
and carried out once a year, or
every few years, should net the
parish sufficient amount for all
ordinary requirements. At the
same time it would obviate the
necessity Of repeated talks on
money, and it would allow the
priest TO devote much more Of his
time to real spiritual or welfare
work.

Sunday, October "a, will be the
end of the three weeks prelimi-
nary crusade Of explanation and
appeal for the Archbishop Ireland
Educational Fund in the Twin
Cities. The campaign will then
open in wider fields. Arguments
have been ably presented to the
Catholic people Of the Twin Cities
by Jealous speakers. These argu-
ments have sought to show and
to prove to our people that it is
absolutely essential at this time to
come to the assistance Of our edu-
cational system. This is not a
mere chimera; it is not the scare
head emanating from an over
wrought Imagination it is the re-
suit Of calm and deliberate refec-
ton on the part of our spiritual
leaders, men who are not accus-
toned to see danger where no
danger lies.
These leaders, after mature con-
slderation Of the whole question,
have come to the conclusion that
our schools have been a wonderful
success; that our people have been
generous in the past that the con
tinued and insistent patronage on
the part Of Catholics imperatively

tional life Of the country; and
especially that our little ones, now
turned away for lack Of room,
have an inalienable right to the
only education which a Catholic
can consistently give his child.
For these several reasons it has
been decided to appeal to the 10y
atty and generosity ofOnr Cath
ole people. Hard-headed bust
ness men have heartily approved
the proposal and offered assist
ance, material and moral, for the
success Of the campaign. The
matter is Of interest to every indi-
vidual Catholic who takes pride in
his Church and her development.
Don't say that you have no chill
dren, and therefore are not
obliged to contribute to such a
cause. You contribute willingly
through taxation to the support of
insane asylums, homes for the
aged, jails, warehouses and other
institutions, though you scarcely
hope to ever enjoy their advan-
tages or comforts You do this
because you are interested in the
welfare of your State.
The same reason and argument
now appeal to you to show equal
or greater willingness in the cause
of Catholic education.
Will'you give until it hurts, or
are you afraid of little pain?

but we are reminded by The Congre-
gationalist and Advance that there
has been vast expenditure in other
directions.
The statistics compiled by Miss
Edith Strauss, head of the Women's
Activities Division of the Depart
ment OF Justice in the High Cost of
Living Campaign, show, we are told,
that the total average expenditure of
the people of the United States an
nually for Injuries is $8,71O,O0O, 900.
Taking this sum as authentic, the
average family spends about 81 a
week, or $348 year, for luxuries.
In more detail:
There is included in the total
amount $2,11O,OOO,OOO spent by the
male population for tobacco. Of this
sum, $500, 100000 is spent for cigar
cts and an equal amount for loose
tobacco and snuff and $50 900, 900 for
cigars. Automobiles are put in. this
list as luxuries with an annual ex-
penditure of $2,0OO,OOO,OOO.
''The total amount spent for candy
is, $1,OO0,OO0,000; for chewing gum,
$50,0OO,00O; for soft drinks, $3.50, OOO,-

FROM A REGENT

! MIcHIGANIscHooL AMENDMENT
1T WOULD BE A GRAVE MIS-.
TAKE.

1tBy N. G. w. c.. News Service.)
E,a Dr. Benjamin S. Hanchett,. d. regent
OF the University of Michigan, in an
interview with the News of Detroit,
on the subject of proposed amend
ment to the State constitution reullir-
ing all children between the ages of
six and sixteen years to attend the
public schools, has announced his OBJ
position to the proposal, which he
characterized as neither right nor
practical"
Il am earnestly opposed to any prop
osition that would result in the clos
ing OF parochial or any other private
schools that maintain proper stand
ard of instruction." said DR.. Hanchett.
A large number of graduates of pri-
vate institutions, including Catholic
schools, are accredited by the Univer.
sity of Michigan, and the graduates of
these academies and colleges enter the
university direct on the merits Of their
credits, DR.. Hanchett pointed out.
ITO close these schools would be
mistake that would be far-reaching
anu ulSdSlFOuS III more ways imam,
DR.. Hanchett said.
1t would be impossible for the pub
lie schools now in operation to ac-
commodate the pupils of private insti-
tutions if these were closed, Dr. Han
chett said.
Crowded conditions in the Univer-
sity of Michigan and all other large
educational institutions are creating
tremendous problems for their admin
istrators and it would be most unfor-
tunate to have such situation to cen
tend with in the public schools of the
State he continueds
II do not believe that the proposed
amendment will appeal fayorably to
the voters as a practical measure when
it is realized what problems it's adop-
ton would create, not to emphasize
what would necessarily follow in in
creased taxes both for buildings and
a just enlargement of our teaching
forces"
