President Storrs Says Ten Cent Fare Is Not Complete Solution
NEW PLAN FOR COMMUTERS
Instead Of old Book, Monthly Conn., muters' Tickets Will Be Issued at Rate of 1-2 Gents Per Mile, Is OficiaI Statement

Hartford. Oct 25-That the ten cent fare for trolIeys is a partial not a complete solution of the trolley problem was the statement made by Lucius F. Storrs. president of The Connecticut Co, today. He said the provision in the ruling of the pub lie utilities commission that the troll ley problem is to come before the next legislature doesn t imply neces- sarily that fares can be reduced at that time to the extent that legisla- ture gives relief from taxation, pave ment expenses. etc.
 The large amount of unpaid taxes would have to be handled and pro- vided for before reductions in the rate of fare could take place even if relief would be given in other re- spects, he said.
 Commuters Tickets.
 The Connecticut Co. will not re- turn to the old form of commuters ticket book as were issued under the old fare system, but will issue month- iy commuters tickets as at present on the basis of 2 1-2 cents a mile Under the present system of monthly tickets only those who make use of them every day buy them and all others pay single fares.

Mic Bosler, Jr.. led to the altar Miss
Minnie Hunold. Rev. Father Wes-
terman performed the ceremony and
celebrated the nuptial high mass, at
which an augmented choir rendered

after the ceremony an elaborate
wedding breakfast was served at the
Hunold home on Walnut street,
where a reception was held and the
bride and groom received the felici-
tations of a legion of friends and
edmirers. The bride is the lovely
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Hunold and is a young woman of
many accomplishments, and the
lucky groom is the popular and sue

neither more self-compIaoency nor
more petty criticism. IL needs the
strong hand OF a wise educator, who
will aim to make sound and solid
scholarship the fasis Of all orr
school work. fashioning the scholar
ships according to spiritual Ideals,
thus giving to our young men and
women power with which, as with
the lever of Archimedes, they may
move the world"
And making the application still
more general, the writer adds:
Neither the study of birds nor the
study of nature, however humaniz-
ing they may be. can be a substitute
for the moral law of God and if
these do not prevail in the school
room, and out of the school room,
all our education is vain and useless
and only makes for dust and ashes
in our lives"
There lies the crux of the ques-
ton. 1t would be folly to assume
that the situation is any different in
our own country, the question of
autocratic management of the
schools being beside the main issue.
Gracious" is right in stating that
all study is vain unless education
impresses upon the pupils the moral
law of God. Bur religion and NOR
ality based on religion may not be
taught in our public schools, and
consequently these schools can
never attain the ideal in education
which the school should attain, and
which conscientious Professionals and
Catholics demand of their schools.

Catholics and members of relig-

quently charged with being narrow
in their attitude toward the public
system of education. 1t is true that
sometimes Catholics do overstep the
mark in their opposition to public
schools, though in principle they
may be and usually are right in
their contentious. The agitation for
and against the proposed creation
OF a Federal Department of Educa-
ton, such as the Smith and Towner
bills provide, has produced examples
of such criticism. But it should be
remembered that the public system
of schools is not criticised by Cath
olics and CONSCIENTIOUS Protestants
alone. A recent expression of the
liberal Statesman of Toronto, Can,
is a striking instance in point.
In the issue of April II of that
weekly there appears an article en-
titled "An Educational Gathering"
in which Gracious reports and
comments on the fifty-ninth annual
convention of the teachers OF
Toronto. In the course of the report
we read that one of the, educators
present, a Rev. DIR. Bruce Taylor
designated the Ontario system OF
education as "our materialistic and
aUtocratic system of education, with.
out liberty and without soul" In
opposition to a challenge of this
statement by the former Minister OF
Education, Gracious endorses this
criticism and adds: I'VE must say
that we regard Mr.. Taylor's desig-
nation as well directed. If the edu
cational system OF Ontario during
the past ten years has not been au'
tocratic then we do not know whai
autocratic means. If it has made
for anything more than materialism
we have been unable to trace its
idealistic workings. Perhaps 1t hal
been working in conjunction witt

POPE MAKES PLEA.

Pope Benedict has issued an en-
cyclical letter, announcing that.
while he maintains the claims of the
Holy See to temporal power. he re-
sends the order forbidding Catholic
rulers to visit the King of Italy In
Rome. II is understood the first
monarch to visit Rome under the
new conditions will be King Alfonso
of Spain. Pope Benedict, in this inn
portant document, emphasizes the
necessity of eliminating the germs
of discOrd which have prevented the
full establishment of peace and seri-
ously injuring not only the temporal
interests of the nations, but the life
and spirit of Christianity as taught
by the Lords Prayer and the ex-
amples of our Savior" In conform
ity with this principle, the letter de-
clares the Pope ''forgives those who
during the war distorted his inten-
tions and furnished his work" He
adds that the chief object of the
Catholic Church is to help humanity,
and appeals to bishops to teach their
hocks the necessity of forgiveness
and charity.
Continuing, the Pontiff renews the
protest made by his predecessors for
the purpose of protecting the rights
and dignity of the Holy See and asks
that, once peace being re-established
the abnormal conditions affecting
the head OF the church shall also be
brought to an end as, he says, they
are prejudicial to the tranquility oil
the peoples. His Holiness urges the
nations to join together fraternally
to reduce, If not to eliminate, the
military expenditure which is weigh
ing heavily upon the finances Of the
various States. He sets for that
the danger of fresh confagrations
will thus be rendered more remote
and that independence and terri
torial integrity within its just from
tiers, will be insured to every ma
ton. The Pontiff declares that the
church will not fail to cooperate
with this association of peoples will
an efficiency to which history bears
witness.

tribute to sons of Ireland who have

After dwelling on our struggle for
independence he called attention to
the eighteen Irishmen who were I'M

of st. Patrick, Franklin's great re-
ception in Ireland and the generous
response of the people of that coun-

lands oppression and the work of
her hired Hessians. Until British
ascendancy Ireland was veritable
beehive of education and industry,
