we have done little or nothing to pro-

portunity wisely and creating clearer
understanding of the aims. and the

Christian education, much deep-seated
prejudice will be dissipated, and bet

more harmonious cooperation in edu-

. While our elementary schools and
even our high schools and academies
have been establishing themselves in
the land, our colleges have been Wag-
ing precarious struggle for exist
ence. The need Of higher education
has not been SO well understood
among Catholics as among our nom
Catholic fellow citizens, A very small
number of our young men enter higher
institutions of learning, and of these
hardly one.half are enrolled in Cath
Ollie colleges and universities. Not
one Catholic in thousand is found
in Catholic college properly So
called Among the reasons for this
depressing state of things is, Of
course: the poverty of our Catholic
colleges, which, from the point of view
of resources, present pitiable con-
trast with n-Catholic institutions
and their vast endowments. OF this,
the State of Minnesota offers a typ.
ical illustration. A year or two ago
the actual endowments of all the Cath
Ollie colleges of the State did not ex-
coed one hundred sthousand dollars,
while. the combined endowments OF
the Protestant colleges amounted to
more than three millions. The con
sequences of this poverty of our col
leges Nare as deplorable as they are
plain to be seen.
Catholics Submerged.
In administrative positions of i'm

are almost submerged. In the world
of education their influence Is nearly
negligible. In the teaching profes
sion, offering an honorable and infiu
entail career, few Catholic names o
renown are to be counted. In thu
universities, which have to do in {
large way with moulding the though
of the nation, there is room for Cath
olics, but in them few professors
chairs are held by men of the Cath
Ole faith. Even in the high schools

Very Reverend H. Moynihan, D. D.

The story of Catholic schools in the
United States constitutes the most
salient and consoling chapter in the
history of the Church in America. It
tells how in the very midst OF their
struggle to build their homes our Cath
olic people took upon themselves the
task of studding the country with
schools where the souls of their chill
dren would be safe. Their heroic
spirit of sacrifice wove the vast net
work of schools in which upwards of
fifteen hundred thousand children are
sheltered during the formative years
of their life, taught, as soon as they
are old enough to understand. that
the souls amending relation to God is
the primary and fundamental relation
ship of life. With instructive wisdom
our people saw, what experience else
where amply confirms, that unless the
boys and girls of to-day are brought
up in Catholic schools, the men apd
women of tomorrow will hold aloof
from our churches. Knowing religion
to be the most important concern in
life they deemed that no graver wrong
could be done. to their children than
to deprive them of a Catholic educa-
ton.
In the thousands Of our schools
throughout the land all teaching is i'm
bued with religion definite religious
principles are inculcated, lessons in
virtue are impaired, exercises Of piety
form part of the days routine, and the
habit of acting from lofty motives Is
exemplified by teachers in whose
character and general attitude to
| wards life pupils behold an embodi
ment Of Christian spirit and Christian
aims. Religion which alone, as al
history testifies, has the. power to ex
alt human nature, is brought to beal
upon character sat time when mint
and heart, are tenderly susceptible K
its inspiration.

Il am terribly grateful to the people
of Michigan for this remarkable vic

strates that an American whose only
attributes are those that God gave
him can meet and whip these forces.
I'VE have done it. Michigan was
the first big popular test. Heretofore
we have had preferential primaries
in North Dakota, which won. and
the preferential primary in South Da-
kota, which Wood won. Also a trick
primary in Minnesota, which never

stood, believes it should be held at
Fargo. The hearings will continue
for Ave or six days at least.
There will probably be five dis

terences. These groups will be re-

The reason for this, it was said, is
that it is impossible to designate

character Of their work.
K At the conferences there will be
a series of meetings, each group
meeting on different day. For in
stance, it was announced here the
retail stores groups will probably
require more than one day, as will
the telegraph and telephone operators.
1t is planned to have the same repre-
sentatives of the public attend all OF

so that they will be conversant with
the details Of the entire subject.

At the conclusion of the confer
ences, each group will make separate
recommendations to the minimum
wage commission and the commission
will then decide the minimum wage
for each group. Following its ap-
proval of these recommendations, the
commission will advertise its findings
for four weeks. Time will then be
allowed for any protests to be fled

of the advertisements, the minimum
wage will go into effect.
In preliminary report filed with
