Knights OF Columbus Educational
Week.

Education is Old Glory's greatest
defender, and no contribution that the
Knights of Columbus have made in
behalf of the civic advancement of
America stands out more predomi-
nantly than her efforts in behalf of
Education" and 'more education"
Education" the minute the great
world struggle was over, supplanted
her gigantic army social service, and
became the keynote of the orders ac-
tivity; and for the past three years
its efforts in behalf of instruction
have been interchangeable. In virtually
every large city Of the country the
practical and effective educational
system of the Knights of Columbus
has won recognition and honors, and
has enabled thousands CT ex-service
men to enjoy intellectual ADVANCE
lnents OF which otherwise they would
have been deprived. Washington, our
nearest city, boasts of K. of C. edu-
cation that offers its advantages to
all, irrespective of creed, and in
cludes in its Curriculum practically
every phase of technical, elementary
and advanced education. The city of
Richmond, our capital, and Norfolk,

from the municipal authorities bear
witness to the success OF the peda-
eogical efforts of the order. No less
than 100 American young men who
saw service during the world war the
beneficiaries Of free scholarships
throughout fifteen or twenty OF the
leading universities of the United
States; and the observation-disclosures and
real philanthrophy of the order is re-
Elected by the fact that the recipients
of these valuable scholarships COM
prise about equal numbers OF
Catholics, Protestants and Hebrews.
The stress that the Knights of Co
lumbus have placed upon education
is confined not only to the young men
Of the country, but its system OF civic
lectures by national representatives
of the order from an important and
effective means of dispensing knowl-
edge concerning the principles upon
which American institutions rest, and
through whose perpetuity alone can
American institutions be preserved.
No less than three months ago the
Lyceum hall was graced by an emil
nent lecturer of the Knights Of Co.
lumbus educational committee in the
person of Dr.. James NJ. Walsh, not
ed author Of many volumes dealing
with sociological and educational sub
iccts. DR.. Walsh earnestly held the
attention Of his audience for over two
hours, enunciating the fact that CIVIC
advancement can be the sequence only
of individual civic morality; and that
in no way can the interests OF the
community or of the state be more de-
preciated than by the commission OF
petty civic immoralities, and then
justifying such course of conduct by
the excuse that "others are doing the
same thing" Drawing a picture OF
ancient and medieval history-yes,
even including the great struggling
times of the immortal Washington.
DR.. Walsh impressed upon his audi
ence that in every age there have been
those guilty Of civic dishonesties, but
that civic morality has succeeded be-
cause there were at all times men and
women trained in high principles and
high ideals who refused to follow the
tide of selfish thought and attitude
that would rob life of the choicest
possessions that good education ex-
tolls. With Columbianism so active
in the dissemination Of education, the
orders value retains high standard
of value and assumes for itself reign
of success and perpetuation of its
existence.

ARNOLD DAILY BACK
IN THE TAVERN AGAIN
Resumes Part That Brandon
lyman Took.

In again. out again. wasn't written
for Arnold DAILY, but 1t might apply to
him. He was back In his original role
OF the VG0dbofd last night. which he
originated at the start of the run OF
'The Tavern" at the George NJ. Cohan
Theatre About two weeks ago he de-
cided suddenly to leave the production
and produce some plays OF his own
authorship.
Brandon lyman promptly was en-
gagged by George NJ. Cohan to fll his
place, starting Monday. January IL, but
after four performances lyman gave Ii
UP because. ii Is understood, he had
difficulty in menorizing the lines.
Thereupon John Meehan. general stage
director for Cohan. stepped into the role
and made such hit It looked as though
he would be retained for the full en-
gagement of the piece. But the role
underwent more of the vicissitudes of
change 1t has been meeting lately.
Meehan had to 60 to Chicago suddenly
to put on the second company of THE
Tavern" headed by Lowell Sherman.
which was called. upon to fill an engage
ment at Cohan's Grand Opera House
tomorrow night, when the second
MARY" company, scheduled for that
theatre, was abruptly disbanded. In
Meehar's absence Mr.. DAILY agreed to
resume his part.
With all those matters on his hands
and the added worry incidental TO re-
casting the No. MARY company and
calling into being the second production
OF THE Tavern" IL became necessary
that Mr.. Cohan himself should with
draw from the leading role in THE
Meanest Man in the World" this week
His part at the Hudson is now being
played by Otto Kruger. recently re-
leased from a road tryout of "Sonys."
He will not return to the cast at the
Hudson, but will devote himself to his
various enterprises, which includes the
launching of new play.
