The famous crucifX that comes to
life regularly at Limpias (Santander)
Spain, has been observed in it's mar
velous phenomena by 10000 persons,
200 of whom have given affidavits of
the manifestations, according to a let

employe of the Colorado Milling and
Elevator company, Denver, who wrote
to the rector at Limpias after reading
of the occurrences in The Denver

Catholic party of Mexico, visitor at
the shrine, write to Mr.. Mcnamara as

CATHOLIC WAR WORK is SUM-
MARRIED IN RECENT REPORT
NEARLY $1,000 CATHOLIC SOCl-
ETIES CO-OPERATED IN TRI-
UMPH.

A splendid record Of patriotic Cath
olic achievement is presented in a re-
port issued by the National Catholic
Welfare Councils Committee on Sre-
cial War Activities under the title
The Promise Fulfilled" 1t is rec
ord of gigantic war and reconstruct
ton tasks accomplished by American
Catholic men, women, and children,
acting under the direction and advice
of the administrative bishops Of the
council.
No one would have thought it posi-
BILE within a period of eighteen months
to list. coordinate, and bring into ac-
ton the membership Of 14,673 Catholic
societies. This task, however, was ac-
cOmplishcd by the Committee on SDe-
ctal War Activities when it affiliated
the work of 9,7l4 Catholic mems or
ganizations and 4,958 women's organi-
cations with the \. c. w. c. These
IA ,673 societies, acting through the
council, now have a common voice,
and their forces may be modified
for action in any crisis or emergency.
Another important result of this
committees work was the securing OF
official recognition in welfare work for
the Catholic women Of the country,
with the right to erect visitors houses
in the camps and undertake welfare
work overseas. The committee also
secured Catholic representation on the
general committees which discussed
and moulded national welfare and re-
construction policies. Rev. John c..
Burke, C. S. p, was chairman of the
committee.

100000 CHILDREN IN
UNITED STATES - TEACHER
SHORTAGE - CAUSED CLOSING
OF 1900 PUBLIC SCHOOLS
CATHOLIC SCHOOLS UNAFFECT-
ED.

Shortage of teachers and the sub
sequent closing of $4,000 public
schools in the country at large serves
once more to emphasize the great
value of the 1852 Catholic parochial
schools which are providing educa-
tional facilities for more than 100000
children without expense to the states.
Not only are thousands of public
schools without teachers and the chill
dren dependent upon them without in
struction, but of those which are in
operation between 100000 and $4,000,
according to officials of the United
States Bureau of Education, are being
taught by persons lacking adequate
training for their work.
Need of Competent Teachers
The Bureau of Education declares
that this large number of teachers
could not under normal conditions
meet the minimum requirements OF
their respective states if they sought
certificates, but are employed only be-
cause more competent instructors
cannot be obtained. At least 100000
teachers in the public schools of the
United States, an important official o1
the Bureau said, fall short of what
should be a minimum standard-tha
| is, full high-school course and two
years of college or normal training.
States in which the largest short
ages of teachers are reported and ths
| number in each case needed to brins
the total to normal are: Kentucky
$3.50; Texas, 2,055; Virginia, 1000
Georgia, 1900; North Carolina, 700
and Iowa, 900. Texas, Virginia, Ala
bama, Georgia, Tennessee, Minnesota
Illinois, Kentucky, New York an,
South Carolina are among those whicl
report the employment of "substand
ard" teachers. Texas leads this lis
with 1000 of these "substandard
teachers in it's public schools. Soutl
Carolina has 1000.
At the very moment when tn
shortage of teachers is more acut
the Bureau of Education finds tha
i fewer men and women are preparin
for the teaching profession. Informa
ton from 100 state, county, city an
private normal schools is that ther
were II, ,503 fewer students in sue
institutions on November l, last, tha

movement attracted the roWdy ele-

July, 1854, several Catholic churches
were burned. This was followed by
serious disturbances in Manchester, N.

S, st. Louis was the scene of riots,
precipitated by the knOW-NOthingS, re-

many belonging to Catholics, were
more or less damaged. A crowd,
which had assembled in front of St.

and a mob, attempting to storm the
office Of the Anzeiger des Westerns, a
German newspaper, were dispersed by
local militia.

How It Started.
If NAV he of interest briefly to re
view the causes leading TO the hIrth
and growth of Irish Catholic at'lila-

country. They are connected with
events in a remote period of England
history. The anti-Catholic sentiment,
which sprang up in the days OF Henry
VIII, the COlOniSts carried with them
from their English homes. Warfare
with the French Catholics on the
North and West, and with the Spanish
Catholics in Florida strengthened THIS
sentiment The assistance Of CathO-
lie France to the colonies during the
Revolution practically quieted 1t from
1880 to 1880. There was little ground
for alarm on the part of the NatlVlStS

to the latter year. AS matter OF
fact. dislike of European immigrants
on account of their birth or religion,
was always more or less sporadic. IN

ness and common sense, which saw IN
the Irish and German immigrants ma

umphed over the forces Of intolerance
and prejudice.
From 1881 to 1870 the immigrants
increased to a total of nearly 100000
From 1910 to 1850 100000 immi
grants arrived nearly one-half OF

fifths of them were Catholics. That
