TALKS IN HYDE PARK
CATHOLIC SPEAKERS DOING
MUCH TO REMOVE PREJU-
DICE IN ENGLISH MINDS.
(By N. e. w. e. News seryice)

(By N. G. w. C. News Service)
/ Hyde Park is the public debating
ground of London. Every evening
and on Sunday afternoons, great
crowds assemble there, some to listen
| to the speakers, some to engage in dis
cussion, gathered in smaller groups
about the greater crowds. Every man
ner of theory and opinion may be
mooted there, as since the free speech
riots Of some years ago it has been an
established custom to allow free
debate in Hyde Park provided the
peace is kept and public order main
J tanned.
The Catholics have seen the oppor-
tunity offered them by this free discus
sion for bringing to many who would
never enter Catholic church knowl-
edge of the faith. During the week
days, therefore, and especially on Sun
day afternoon and evening they erect
their small pulpit with the rest. Rails
ing a crucifx above the heads Of the
crowds, their approved speakers ad-
dress the throngs who gather from in
terest or curiosity and instruct them
concerning the claims and the Gre
dentials. the teachings and the divine
authority of the Church.
Selected Catholic Speakers.
The crowds at Hyde Park are order
ly and interested. They stroll from
one group to another and listen to
each speaker until they catch the drift
Of his remarks, then remain so long as
they are held by what he has to say
or pass to the next crowd when they
have heard enough. In this way vast
numbers of people approach the stand
of the Catholic speakers, and are
drawn to listen to teaching which
they would else never have any op-
portunity to hear. Some pursue their
inquiries further, the rest are at least
given chance to form a more cor
rect notion of the Church and per-
haps to put aside some ingrained
prejudices.
A selected band of Catholic laymen,
each of whom passes test and is ap-
proved for his subject, have been en-
listed to speak on these occasions, and
on many evenings of the week and
every Sunday afternoon and evening
they succeed one another on the plat
form, the hours being from about to
10 in the evening and on Sunday after
noon from about 3. Owing to the day.
light saving plan now in force in Eng.
land, and to the long English twilight
1t remains fairly light until 10
o'clock these summer days-some OF
the talks and discussions in Hyde Park
continue until midnight, when the
gates are closed.

AGRICULTURE IN FRANCE
YOUTH OF FRANCE BEING MADE
EXPERT IN SOCIAL SCIENCE
NEW SCHOOLS BEING OPENED.
(By N. G. w. C. News service)

(By N. c. w. c. News Service)
Cardinal Maurin, Archbishop Of
Lyons, in letter just published,
points to the necessity of giving still
greater development to the agricul-
tural and industrial education of Cath
Ollie youth by making them more thor
oughly familiar with all the modern
improvements of science. His Emf
nence thus adds his approval and as
sistance to the organization of profess
sional teaching, which at this moment
is one of the principal concerns Of
both the clergy and the philanthro-
pists of France.
In the diocese of Lyons alone the
success achieved by the Diocesan
| Agricultural School was such that it is
deemed necessary to acquire grounds
I for a second school which is to be
large and commodious A generous
family has presented for this purpose

tensive tract where the most varied
cultures may be undertaken
| An Industrial school will be opened
at Lyons in October. The priest tc
whom direction of the school is to be
j entrusted was, before entering the
priesthood, civil engineer.
4 At the same time the clergy are
concerned with the training OF. higl
professional men both for agriculture
and industry, and they leave no stone
unturned to fit them for social work
| They are thus starting in the Cath
Ole University of Lille new "Schoo
of Social Science" where all young
men who may be called upon to pla.

church, however, which is VIGOROUSLY
and obstinately conservative, is OPP
posed to the change, and it appears
that in civil life Greece will follow
the new style, while. enthusiastically
it will adhere to the old style. The
situation promises some ludicrous pro-
ceedings, because when in civil life
the nation starts the New Year and,
incidentally the Feast of the Circum-
cision, enthusiastically it will be some
where in the middle of December and
thinking about Christmas.
During the course of the war
changes in the method of reckoning
were made in several states. Ru-
mania, for example, adopted the Gre
gorian Calendar in 1917, both in civil
and social life. In Greece, too, the
Schismatic Church will find itself
forced, sooner or later, to adopt the
Gregorian Style; otherwise it will find
itself at times keeping Sunday in the
middle of the week, and Lent when
other people are keeping Easter.

GEORGIA, OF COURSE
GEORGIA DRAFT OPPONENTS oP-
POSE HONOR TO BENSON
ANTI-CATHoLlc ISSUE Is DE-
BATED IN GENERAL ASSEMBLY
DISCUSSING ERECTING STATUE
TO NATIVE SON.

(By N. C. w. C. News Service.)
The anti-Catholic issue was raised
in the Georgia assembly during the
final days Of it's session, when sharp
debate was-precipitated through the
efforts of Senator Ben ]. Fowler, to
override the rules committee, which
had refused to place on the calendar
a resolution calling for the erection of
a statue in honor of Rear Admiral
William S. Benson, from a fund to be
collected among the school children
of the State.
Admiral Benson is native of
Georgia and former resident of Ma
con. A similar resolution, commend
ing Admiral Benson's services in the
late war and authorizing the erection
of the statue had been passed few
days previous by the, Georgia House
of Representatives
In the debate on the floor, Senator
Fermor Barrett insisted that the res
olution was framed at the instance OF
the knights of Columbus, of which
Admiral Benson is member, and said
that he deplored the situation which
allowed a discussion of religious be-
liefs to come on the floor
In response Senator Towler de-
clared that the United Daughters of
the Confederacy were responsible for
the resolution. He characterized the
position taken by it's opponents as the
| cheapest sort of demagogy."
| Sharp criticism of the anti-Catholic
campaign was offered by Senator
Ragsdale, when he rose to explain his
vote on the roll call, in which Senator
Fowlers motion was defeated. Sen.
ator Ragsdale said:
"a lot of these fellows who have
been fighting the Catholics so hard are
the very men who turned their backs
upon their Government during the
war If we had followed their lead
ership, Germany would have had us
4 by the neck"
The actions of the anti-Catholit
bigots have aroused a storm of pro
test "A committee composed entirely
of non-Catholic members of the Unit
ed Daughters of the ,~Confederacy has
adopted resolutions pointing out tina
that organization was responsible fol
the move to honor Benson and tina
the action was prompted by the fac
that he is a distinguished son Of Geor
gia and by no other motive. The res
olutions point to the notable services
of European Catholics in the grea
war, especially those of Marshal Foch

K. OF c. IN ROME
HOLY FATHER SPENDS MUCH
TIME WITH NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
TO ARCHBISHOP cERRETTI.

The Knights of Columbus pilgrimage
to Rome, joined by a number of Amer
leans in that city, was received by
Pope Benedict last Saturday. The
Swiss guards stationed at the entrance
and throughout the Vatican rendered
military honors as the knights en-
tered.
The Holy Father received the
Knights in the hall Of the Consistory,
surrounded by his civil and ecclesiasti-
cal guard and preceded by members Of
the Noble Guard.
On Sunday morning the Knights of
Columbus attended the Mass celebrat-
ed by the Holy Father who also per-
sonally gave Holy Communion to each
knight. After Mass the Holy Father
had the Knights as his guests at
and then accompanied them
through the Vatican gardens.
Pope Benedict made Sunday truly
America Day. He granted permission
to the knights to film scenes in the
Vatican gardens and also posed for
several views in the various pictures.
Last Monday night the Knights gave
banquet in Rome in honor of Mgr
Cerretti, Papal Under Secretary of
State, who is we'll known in America.
Archbishop Cerretti had Supreme
Knight James A. Flaherty on his right,
and Edward l.. Hearn, European Com
missioner for the knights of Column
bus, on his left. DR.. E. w. Buckley of

RELIGION IS NECESSARY
RELIGIOUS EDUCATION FIRST
DUTY, SAYS EPISCOPAL d.
VINE

(By N. C. w. G. News Service.)
"The religious education of our. chill
dren is the first duty of our times, as
have pointed out in sermons" wrote
the Very Reverend Francis S. White,
dean of the Episcopal cathedral of
Cleveland, in his weekly letter to his
congregation few days ago.
Referring to recent estimates that
1,052,8S0 persons under 25 years of
age in Ohio alone are without any
formal or systematic religious train
ing, Dean White exclaims:
For the sin of neglecting these,
may God have mercy on us!"
Realize what proposition that is
(meaning the persons lacking religi-
Gus education) ''of the children and
youth who, will soon grow to manhood
and womanhood in this common
wealth., and living their lives apart
from God, or religious observance OF
any kind, become the forbears of a
practically pagan generation" Dean
White wrote.

Grand Forks, st. Johns Academy,
Jamestown, and the academies at Oak
wood and Willow City will open
Three new schools will open this
year in the diocese and two others,
which the faithful have built at a
great sacrifice, must remain closed be-
cause of lack of teachers. This is
lamentable. One clergyman who be-
lieves in Catholic education and la
bors to spread it, said, and said very
loudly, that too many who would make
the best teachers are employed in hos
pitfalls
kensaI: Bishop OReilly on his Wis
itation to this parish, on Thursday OF
last week, paid a well merited tribute
to the pastor and people. New
house and new church speak for the
generosity of the faithful, and the zeal
of Father McGough. Almost without
an exception the success or failure of
parish depends on the pastor. AS
the pastor is the people are, is an
adage founded upon experience.
