Brief Reviews and Notices

The Story Ever New. BY Rev. James
Higgins. Published by the Mac
MILAN Co., New York.
The author of this work has utilized
the story-method Of presenting the
life of our Lord to children. He takes
the, youthful reader through the Cos.
pei narrative in such a. way that the
child is enabled to not only read, but
to understand what is placed before
him. The words of the Gospel-with
the substitution of you for thou and
the elimination of the archaic tn as a
verb-ending-are retained, but they
are enlarged upon in manner to
render them easily ineligible to pu-
pills of the lower grades. The plain
and simple style used by the author is
a pleasing innovation, and it should
recommend this book as highly val
liable in teaching the young. Exotic
phrases, difficult words and tiresome
sentences are avoided, so that the
child is able to center his attention
on the actual meaning Of the nara
tive without the necessity Of consult
ing the dictionary, or, as is usually
the case, skipping over the hard"
words and sentences.
The book is. well illustrated, and it
contains interesting questions and
notes at the end Of each chapter.

RUTH'S LONG HIT
NOVEL FEATURE TO RELAY BASE
BALL TO SAN FRANCISCO

Babe Ruth this summer will bat a
baseball from Baltimore to San Fran
cisco, clear across the continent, il
the learned staff of scientists volun.
teering to make calculations for the
Knights of Columbus, pronounces the
plan feasible Babe Ruth, who him.
self is Knight, desires to follow up
the recent appeal of Cardinal Gibbons
for X. of c. support for his alma ma.
ter-St. Mary's Industrial School,
Baltimore. He wishes to appear be-
fore the supreme council of the X. of
c.; but he will be unable to do so
personally, as the council meets in
San Francisco the first week in Au-
gust, at which time Babe is scheduled
to be puncturing the right-feld fence
at the Polo Grounds. ......
So plan has been hit upon where.
by Babe can do the next best thing
bat a ball right into the X. of C. SUI
preme convention from the grounds
of his old school in Baltimore. The
ball, if the plan proves practicable,
will be specially constructed, to con-
tain in its center the brief speech,
written in Ruth's handwriting, that
he would like to make to the Knights.
Babe will hit the ball, and it will be
relayed across the continent by thou
sands of Knights of Columbus to be
organized for the stunt. 1t is esti-
mated that 10000 men and boys could
relay the ball over the entire three
thousand miles, and in desert and
mountain country obliging locomotive
crewmen could catch and carry the
ball through difficulties. The ball
will probably make stops at different
cities to be relayed on it's long trip
by the mayors. AS soon as the dope
sters calculate the time required for
the stunt and the type of ball needed
to stand the strain, organization for
the carrying out of the longest hit in
creation will begin.

SCHOOLS IN BELGIUM
BELGIAN PARENTS FAVOR RE-
LiGIoUS TRAINING IN SCHOOLS
-MERE HANDFUL CLAIM Ex.
CEPTIONS.

The subject of religious and moral
instruction in the public schools is
an acute one in Belgium at present.
The Board of Public Schools Instruc-
ton has ruled that a petition of a
group of Belgian politicians for the
establishment of an obligatory course
in neutral moral training to supersede
the present course in religion and
morals is uncalled for. A poll has
determined that the overwhelming
proportion of the parents Of children
are in favor of religious and moral
training.
An inquiry was instituted as to the
number of children exempted from
any religious instruction and it show
ed that while they aggregated los, 695
out of 960,s19, only $4,000 were ex-
empted by direct wish of their pa
rents, the balance, 1896, being ex-
empted only by the fact that they at
tend classes where no religious cours-
es have been established.
Article II of the present school law
declares: .
Primary instruction will necessari-
ly include a course in religion and
morals and the reading of the Holy
Scriptures.
"The ministers of the various cults
are requested to give the above course
of religion and morals.
Children whose parents have ex.
pressly so asked will be exempt from
this instruction. ~
Not even for children exempted
does M. Destree, the Minister of Arts
and Sciences, approve of the estab.
lishment of any special course in
morals, as he declares it would un
avoidably open new way to those
quarrels which everybody wished
were long ago ended. 1t would, in his
estimation, be placing the religious
moral teaching against the anti-re
ligious moral teaching, and probably
would create new conflicts and con
troversies between the clergy and the
school teachers.

DR.. Claxton On Catholic Education

| who has been selected as it's Director
Mr.. Arthur c. Monahan. know from
| his work in the United States Bureau
of Education for seven years that he
will do very fine kind of work here
| and, with his larger experience and
greater maturity, he cannot, am sure
fail to do his work very successfully
as he did in the Bureau of Education.
Il take it for granted always that
all Americans are interested in edu-
cation, that they are all advocates of
the idea of education for all people,
for individual development, for the
duties of making living and for
American citizenship, which is always
more and more difficult I always as
sumo that every man and woman, and
every good American is willing to bear
his part of the burden of support of
public education, and each one wants
the public schools to be made as good
as they can be made. Then I assume
that good Americans remember the
American principles of freedom, and
that those parents who, for one rea-
son or another, prefer to have their
children educated anywhere else are
privileged to do so. I assume also,
and / think it is good thing, that
there shall always be schools that
can do certain things that the repre-
sentative people on the Public School
Boards of Education may for a time
hesitate to do.
when a large body of people, as
the twenty million Catholics of the
United States, unite in an agency of
this kind, they do so in order that
they themselves may be informed
about what their schools are doing.
Schools of the Church, like schools
of the State, will not always be of the
same degree of efficiency and an agen-
cy like this can help as no other
agency can. 1t can find the good
things being done and let them be
known so that others may initiate
them. 1t will let the country know
what the educational activities of the
Church are; what the Parochial
schools are doing. l shall always be
very glad to giveh the Bureau, and
Mr.. Monahan, any help that the Unit
ed States Bureau of Education may
be able to give, and can only wish
for this new enterprise the very great
est success "

being met with. Every Catholic in
Duluth knows Of the effort and that
he is expected to contribute accord
ing to his means. The Catholics of
the city are making a noble response
Promises, cash payments, liberty
bonds, war saving stamps-which by
the way are accepted at face value
are being freely given. At the time
of writing $4,000 is announced, in
promises and cash payments. Y
But one thing is evident: More can
vassers are needed 1t is found that
in the city not one call is sufficient tc
find a listed man at home; two, three
even four calls are necessary. The
present staff of canvassers must be
strengthened considerably.

SECRETARY BAKER
HEAD OF WAR DEPARTMENT
VIEWS CATHOLIC WAR
PICTURES

Secretary of War Newton D. Baker
was an interested spectator January
q at a private showing Of the Ma
tional Catholic Welfare Councils mo-
ton picture review, american Cath.
olics in War and Reconstruction.
The picture, which is in six reels,
is an animated INSTALLATION Of the
patriotic and humanitarian services
rendered by the Catholics of America
under the direction of the administra.
tive Bishops of the National Catholic
War Council. The chief activities of
the Councils two main operating COM
mittees, the Committee on Special
War Activities and the Knights Of
Columbus Committee on War Activi-
ties, were shown in a series of UNIQUE
and inspiring scenes, taken both in the
devastated countries of Europe and
in the United States.
These pictures have both an edu-
cational and spiritual value" said
Secretary Baker, after having view
ed the film. "They contain a great
amount of information regarding the
contribution of Catholics during and
after the war and are calculated to
fill the people of the United States
with pride in what these agencies
have done. hope they will be shown
throughout the country. While I
know that the pictures cannot attempt
to represent all the work that these
agencies have done in France or the
United States, they illustrate wildly
the character and the extent of this
work. I am glad to know that the
reconstruction and welfare activities
are being carried on in times of peace"

FOR CLEAN FILMS
ISSUE TAKEN UP BY HOLY NAME
IN cHicAGO-SOcIETY RALLIES
TO SUPPORT OF ORDINANCE
FOR sTRIcTER CENSORSHIP

A determined fight for clean films
10000 members of the Holy Name So
ciety who have rallied to the support
of an ordinance proposed by the Mo-
ton Picture Commission, of which
Former Judge T. D. Hurley, head Of
the Big Brother movement of the Holy
Name Society, is chairman.
The ordinance is being fought by
strong interests who insist that the
present ordinance, censoring and reg
ulating moving pictures by police
power with the chief of police in con.
troll, is sufficient to keep the pictures
in check.
Paid Board of censors Provided
The proposed ordinance provides
for the establishment of IAN executive
department of the municipal govern
ment of the City of Chicago, which
shall be known as the Department of
Motion Pictures, and which shall be
in charge and under the supervision
of three members, to be appointed by
the mayor, by and with the consent
of the city council; one Of which shall
have been engaged in social service
work; one in educational work, and
one in professional or business life.
Both sexes shall be represented on
the board" These board members
shall draw a salary of $4,000 year
thus assuring, the proponents Of the
ordinance argue, the selection of quail
flied persons who can afford to give
their entire time to the work.
To this board is given complete
power to pass or reject films.

TO HELP IRISH
PART OF x. C. WAR FUND TO BE
USED FOR IRISH RELIEF.

(By N. C. w. C. News Service.)
Announcement is made by the
Knights of Columbus that the Order
has given it's consent to the proposal
that the European Relief Council take
over the balance of the United War
Fund of about s4,5O0,000, and that
assurances had been received from the
six other organizations which partici-
pated in the joint drive during the
war that they would concur in the
suggestion.
James A. F1aherty, Supreme Knight
of the Order, stated that he had been
assured by Herbert Hoover, chairman
of the Relief Council, that part of
the fund of $33,0OO,OO0 in control of
the Council would be expended in re-
lieving distress in Ireland.
The formal statement issued by
Supreme Knight Flaherty is as fol
lows:
1.-THE Knights of Columbus, in lead.
ing the movement to give the United
War Fund balance to the, Hoover Re.
lief Council, of which the Knights are
a component part, realize that there
is need for relief work at home, with
unemployment rife, but there is vast
degree of difference between the
needs at home and those abroad
where millions of children actually
face starvation.
I'VE have been assured by Mr.
Hoover that starving children in Ire
land will be cared for by his council
and we urge our members everywhere
to support the newly formed Amer
lean Committee for Irish Relief, SC
that maximum succor may be rem
dered the suffering of Ireland"
