Al SURVEY.

DR.. Edward W. Buckley of ST. Paul.
Mimi, has been appointed chairman
of a commission of inquiry appointed
by the Knights of Columbus to make
a thorough investigation of methods
of cure of tuberculosis in the United
States.
At their last international conven-
tion, held in New York, August, 1920,
the Knights of Columbus undertook
to wage war on the white plague. For
several years there had been a move
ment among the Knights looking for
the establishment of sanitariums in
various parts of the country by the
K. of G.. This the Knights had found
impracticable, although they have for
long given support to numerous insti-
tutions for the care and cure of tuber-
culosis.
Now, under the leadership of DR..
Buckley, who is Supreme Physician
of the Knights of Columbus and rec
ognized medical authority, the K. of
C. will conduct a nationwide survey
of the methods employed to cure
tuberculosis. DR.. Buckley will have
some renowned doctors and expert.

the next international convention OF
the knights of Columbus, the Amer.

San Francisco next August, will act
on the most comprehensive surveys
ever made, as numerous tuberculosis
experts have volunteered to aid the
X. of G. committee in its work.
DR.. Buckley was recently knighted
by Pope Benedict and awarded the
Cross of the Legion of Honor by the
French Government for his work al

phia, February II, after an illness Of
several months.
The deceased prelate was born IN
Cambridge, New York, July 21. 1865.
He was a member of the Augustinian
Order. AS a young priest he was sent
to Porto Rico for his health which
was very precarious. Being denied
active work for the first few years,
he applied himself to study the Span

Bishop of Porto Rico Father Jones
was selected for the place, in Janu-
ary, 1907. He has done considerable
work for the preservation of the faith

RESOLUTIONS DRAWN UP AND
FORWARDED BY MINNESOTA
REPRESENTATIVES OF THE
KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS,

Whereas, there has been introduced
into and is pending before the Con-
gress of the United States a bill en-
titled "a bill to create a Department
of Education, to authorize appropria-
tions for the conduct of said depart
ment, to authorize the appropriation
of money to encourage the states in
the promotion and support of educa-
tion, and for other purposes" COM
monty known as the Smith -Towner
bill, and
Whereas, the creation Of such de-
partment as provided for in said bill
would be an assumption of powers
not only not delegated to the federal
government by the constitution but
expressly reserved by it to the several
states and to the people thereof, and
Whereas, such department, by plac-
ing in the hands of the proposed Sec
retary of Education the power to give
or withhold money from the several
states unless they met particular re-
quirements, would tend to place a
straight-jacket on all education, in
other words, imperilize it,-a thing
repugnant to the best educators in
this country, and
Whereas, the said department
would constitute dangerous central
ization of power, a precedent which,
If followed in other governmental ac-
tlvities, would tend to reduce the SOW
ereign states to conveniently admins
tratiye units for national bureaus and
departments, and
Whereas, said department., with a
present appropriation of 100000, 900
and with an ever-increasing budget,
would only add to the already heavy
burdens of an overtaxed people, and
Whereas, federal department of
education by depriving local author
tiles of original responsibility would
destroy the fine incentive that springs
from Independent action, and be pa.
ternalistic, and fs
Whereas, said bill would subject
the all important matter of education
to the uncertain tenure of political ad-
ministration, and make it matter of
politics,-a step representing a reac-
tionary tendency from which many of
our schools are already suffering;

drances which rose before him proved
to be the source of clearer inspira-
tion We can estimate our loss by
considering, in the light of what he
accomplished, the fulness of promise
whose realization would have meant
so much for the University and for
the welfare of our Catholic schools.
For the accomplishment of his
plan, Dr. Shields was singularly quail
flied. Long before he entered the
University, he had learned by direct
observation the fundamental need
and difficulty which hampered our
schools and teachers. He saw how
the need was to be supplied and the
difficulty removed. He reached the
conviction, which abided with him al
ways, that the future of Catholic edu-
cation depended on the preparation
of Catholic teachers.
I'm the University, in Trinity Col
lege, in various institutions through
out the country, Dr. Shields brought
light and inspiration to multitude
of students. In the Summer School,
which he directed from the beginning,
he opened new vistas of thought to
our teaching communities and pre-
pared the way for his principal un-
dertaking. To him the Catholic Sis
ters' College owes it's scope and plan
and execution. Upon him lay the bur-
den of it's administration as we'll as
it's academic development Through
his untiring efforts it has grown in
usefulness, in numbers and in far
reaching effect upon our schools"

Juan de Padilla, o. F. c., who was
done to death in 1914 by the Indians
at Quivira, which by some is sup
posed to have been in the present Hall

lieved to have been near Junction
City, Kansas. The first, and thus far
the only, woman to suffer martyrdom
for the faith in the United States was
Frances Gonanhatenha, an Indian.
She was tortured to death at Oman
daga, in what is now New York, in
1892
BY following the rule of excluding
from his Martyrology those who did
not actually meet death within the
present territories of Continental
United States, Father Holweck has
omitted the names and claims of the
great Jesuits, Fathers Brebeuf, Lalle-
ment and others who never set foot
on the soil of this country.
The Franciscans are most numer-
Gus among American martyrs. Of the
10S men and women whose names
have been gathered together in Faith

DoIlar-a-Sunday Clubs Formed.
Dollar-a- Sunday clubs were estab-
lished one by one in several parishes.
First there was the campaign of edu-
cation. Then envelopes bearing dates
of the ffty-two Sundays in the year
and identifying numbers, were mailed
to all the parishioners. Everyone
was asked to use an envelope for his
contribution, no matter what it should
be. Pledge cards were enclosed in
the package of envelopes and the par.
ishioner was asked to pledge himself
for a regular weekly contribution,
keeping in mind the Dollar-a-Sunday
standard. Monthly reports, giving
names and amounts contributed, are
issued to the parishioners
Success of the plan in the parishes
where it was adopted resulted in all
Seattle parishes standardizing on this
system. A conference of the city cler
gy was called and a joint letter OF
appeal was issued over the signatures
of all the pastors.

New Mexico, whose soil has been

Catholic missionaries, leads all the
States of the Union as place OF
martyrdom for the apostles of the
faith within the present confines of

compiled by the Rev. F. G.. Holweck
of st. Louis.
Processes of canonization Begun.
In all, Father Holweck enumerates
one hundred and eight priests, broth

lives for Christ or for some Christian
virtue while laboring within the limits
of the United States. In this number
were several native Indians, one of

presses the hope that at no distant
date the Omitted States and Canada

Florida, with record of seventeen
martyrdoms within her borders,
stands next to New Mexico in Father
Holweck's list. Texas, with ten mar
tyrs, comes third, and Virginia, which
Catholics have not been accustomed
to regard as theater of devotion and
