CLUB DISCUSSES
EFFECTS OF War
Papers Are Presented by George

Thuerer, Friday Evening

The effect of the World War on i'm
migration and labor was presented by
George w. Andrews and Mayor G. T..
Thuerer at the regular meeting OF the
Fortnightly Literary club at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. r. B. Griggs on Fri
day evening. The opinion prevailed
that neither one OF the problems, like
any social questions has not yet been
solved.
In discussing the Effect of the War
on immigration" Mr.. Andrews said
about 33,000,0O0 people had come to
this country in the past 100 years
and that before 1882 there had been
no regulation all freely coming who
desired to reside in this country. Dur
ing the past twenty years more re-
strictions have been placed befo the
immigrant because it had been found
the melting pot was little more than
a delusion and snare. Iii certain
cities and communities there were
great colonies who retained tie trad
ition and other ideas Of the country
from which they came, not assimilating
with the ideals of the land to which
they sailed.
What has been the effect Of tie war
on immigration? Mr. Andrews found
figures as to immigration, as follows:
The total number of immigrants In
1913 was 1887 900. There are always
some returning, the net increase for
several wears brings as follows.

A WORD ABOUT NATIVE NUNS.

Just as the native clergy formed in
China give universal satisfaction to
their Bishops and those who have
trained them, SO do the native nuns
fulfil the demands of their state. This
is especially true of South Manchuria
where a native Sisterhood was found
ed in 1875 by Mgr. Verolles, then Vicar
Apostolic. Their novitiate, directed
by European nuns, has always large
number of young Chinese women
anxious to become the brides of
Heaven. When protested they share
the labor of hospitals, schools and or
phanages, rendering it possible for tho
European Sisters greatly to enlarge
their work. In this novitiate their
exists that ever present dilemma of
the mission world-how to receive and
accommodate those who apply for adj
mission. The building is too small
and the present Bishop, Mgr. Choulet,
who has to deal with the high cost of
living and prospect offamine if the
dry spell lasts too long, has nothing
to give the carpenter. The native nuns

GIVE CATHOLICS
CREDIT FOR CHARITIES,

Catholic harities-hospitals, or
phanages and homes for the old and
the friendless-provoke compliments
from the trainers of the Interchurch
Movements report recently issued in
two volumes. Catholic example in
this respect is proposed for emulation
by American Protestants, who are
shown to have made inadequate pro-
vision for their sick, fatherless and
needy fellows.
Protestant Hospital Service Inadequate
Protestants have been especially be-
midland in providing for the care Of
the sick, the report indicates. With a
membership of about 25,0O0,O00, the
various Protestant denominations
have furnished hospital service for
only 43 per cent of their adherents,
while the Catholics have institutions
with bed capacity not only for the IT,
549,324 of the Faith, but also for an
additional per cent of the total non
Catholic population of the country.
These figures are taken from the In
terchurch Movements report which il
illustrates their effect graphically.
Similar want of provision for suffer
ers from incurable diseases, such as
cancer, tuberculosis and leprosy, is
shown. Speaking of this class of
institutions, the report says:
"The Roman Catholic and the Prot
estant Episcopal churches, recognize
ing their responsibility, for which they
should be commended, have establish
ed several hospitals and homes for in.
curables in various sections of the
country" T.
After pointing out that these Catho.
lie and Episcopal institutions are in
sufficient ito meet anything like the
great need of incurably suffering hui.
manity," and that the federal and
state governments had made no salts
factory plans or efforts to afford relief
and care for these thousands, the re-
port declares:
Professionalism as whole has done
very little to ameliorate the condition
of these many hopeless sufferers"
Elsewhere in the report, in present
ing arguments in behalf of establish
ing hospitals under "evangelical'' aus
pices, the authors assert that zone
thousand per day are turned away
from Protestant church hospitals in
the United States"
There are today some three hun
dred Protestant homes for the aged tt
which these homeless unfortunates
may retire to spend the remaining
days of their lives in comfort says
the report. "Yet, for every
one received into these homes, one is
turned away for lack of ROOM" AL

DoWRY NEEDED FOR A BRIDE OF

There is a native Indian Jesuit
priest in charge of parish in Trich-

Catholics within it's fold, and converts
continually being added.
All this is very consoling, but there
is the usual dark side to the picture;

Rev. Tibertius Roche is the name of
the missionary who writes:
There are some bright young boys
and girls in my parish who desire to
become priests and nuns, but alas!
they are too poor to prosecute their
studies. l recommend especially two
very intelligent girls who have finish
ed their studies who would like to be-
come nuns, but they are unable to pay
the dowry."

WHAT EDUCATORS SAY.

'While maintaining our own schools
we do not encroach upon the legiti-
mate rights either of the state or of
our fellow citizens. We hold, on the
contrary, that the schools supported
by the voluntary contributions of our
people are the most effectual means
of preserving the moral life of our
nation for upholding legitimate au-
thority, securing obedience to law and
perpetuating the principles of true
democracy, as is amply clear from the
record of the American army and navy
in the world war. Catholic chaplains,
soldiers and sailors, in all branches
of the service, gave incontestable
proof of their patriotic devotion to
their country Therein they showed
the spirit developed in them by their
education in Catholic schools.
eve accordingly submit that the
state, in behalf of it's own best inter
est and in justice to millions of Cath
olic citizens should protect and insure
by all possible means that freedom of
education which is our birthright as
Americans, and which alone will con-
tinue the traditions of liberty in our
country. We consider the Catholic
school as the best concrete illustration
of the spirit of patriotic initiative
whereby the individual citizen, acting
upon conscientious principle, and re-
lying upon his private resources, con-
tributes to the public veal. We re-
joice in the fact that so much has been
done in furtherance of education by
our fellow citizens of all religious be-
liefs through the foundation and in
dorsement of institutions of learning
which attest the desire of our people
for full intellectual life as basis
of American freedom.

number of patients was given as 1884,

orders of men are engaged in philan-
thropic work of one kind or another,

VALUE OF EDUCATION.


The chief use to a Catholic girl of
university training is that it teaches
her to sift evidence, says Father Rick
ably. A woman with trained mind
will not believe every book or newspa-
per she reads, nor will she be shatter-
ed by scandalous reports even should
they touch those she reveres. This
wise incredulity which will be the re-
suit of her training will mean firmer
faith. She will know something of
the way facts are found, of the long
searches among documents, often
contradictory, of the weary years of
labor in laboratori of the unreliable
ity of hearsay and surmise, and her
halo of faith, once really established,
will not be easily shaken. Again, in
these days of the world, the belief of
the fool is not respected; but the
faith of a woman of trained mind and
of sound education is respected
everywhere, and it is she alone who
can hope to win others to her way of
! thinking.

heart, resolving not to be discouraged,
but to win her parents consent that
she might adopt the Catholic religion.
So well did she conduct her compaign

her father to sign a document legally

preferred. Armed with this, she
triumphantly received baptism and
we are trusting that she will grow up

CHOOSE A CATHOLIC SCHOOL.

Too much emphasis cannot be laid
upon the necessity of placing Cath
olic children in Catholic schools. Now
that we have such fine schools, from
primary to university, there is rarely
an excuse for entering a Catholic stu
dent in a non-Catholic school. At
mosphere counts, instruction counts,
companionship counts, in moulding
young life. The lessons of the early
years have the most enduring infiu-
ence, notes an exchange.
If your little John or Mary is old
enough to begin school, lead him or
her to your parish school, or convent,
or academy, and commit the child to
the care of the good Sisters. You may
rest assured that the hours will be
spent under the highest influences.

possible start
If there is Catholic high school in
your parish, or within a convenient
distance, consider it's advantages for
your big boy or girl. The strong char
acter-building which was begun in the
grammar grades is carried on in the
Catholic high school, deepened, and
developed. The ties of Catholic COM
radeship are strengthened. There is
no time wasted on useless subjects,
which is a decided gain for the young
folk coming up to manhood and wom-
anhood.
Clever Henry, and brilliant, ambi-

A Catholic is sadly out of place
where the philosophy of materialism
obtains. And, at the best, there is
nothing to be gained. Some parents
imagine that connection with secular
college is helpful in establishing a
career, particularly if the Catholic has
limited means. Common sense should
teach that there are always nOn-Cath
olics in such places who need help

Teachers, he said, were quite apt
to judge the parents by the child's be-
havior; if the child was polite and RET
spectful and showed other signs Of re-
finement, it was pretty safe to say
that the child was being brought up
in the right atmosphere. 1t was the
duty of parents to teach their children
