DIR. SHIELDS.

The announcement of the death
OF DR.. Thomas Edward Shields of
the Catholic University was dis
tinct shock to his many friends in
st. Paul. 1t also emphasized the
loss in the field of education of a
consummate leader whom it will
be difficult to replace, for it is
well known to all those who are
interested in educational matters
that the distinguished scholar had
won for himself and his original
methods an eminent position in
this country. 1t is to be hoped
that some one will be found at
least capable Of bringing to com
pletion the great plans which he
had for the up-building of educa-
tional methods and system in our
institutions.
. The career Of DR.. Shields had
some odd features. 1t seems that
for a number Of years in his youth
he gave promise Of anything but
intellectual brilliance. In fact, he
appears to have been somewhat
dull in acquiring knowledge. But
a sudden change apparently came
over his mental life and his intel
lect blazed forth with fire and
strength that was never quenched
or even dimmed, but that grew in
power and intensity until Death
placed it's mantle over his soul. In.
his first work, The Making and the
Unmaking of a Dullard, DR..
Shields describes these different
phases Of his intellectual life, and
he has left us a document that is
practically unique in it's revela-
lions.
The late eminent scholar came
really into prominence in his
chosen field of study about fifteen
years ago by his Correspondence
Course in Pedagogy which was
taken up and followed by thou
sands of teachers throughout the
country. Since then vast num-
Der of text books, special articles
and contributions Of all kinds
have come from his facile and
powerful pen.
Altogether, it may be said that
the life and work of Reverend DIR.
Shields Of the Catholic University
has been one Of the most valuable
and distinguished contributions
that Catholic education has ever
received in this country.

DECREE ON CERTAIN SOCIETIES

Jesus Christ, wander afar wllitherso-
ever desire or temper may lead them.
You therefore, one and all, whom
the Lord has charged In a special
manner with the government of His
flock, are urged by this Sacred Con-
gregatiOn to exert your utmost zeal in
preserving Catholic young men from
the contagion spread abroad by these
organizations whose very benefac.
tions, extended in Christ's name, en-.
danger the Christians most priceless
possession, the grace of Christ. Warn
the unWary; steady those who are
Wavering in faith. Arm with Chris
tan spirit and vigor the societies of
young men and young women which
are already established and organize
others of the same kind. And in or
der that they may have the means to
counteract their opponents, appeal for
aid to those among the faithful who
can and will give of their abundance
Exhort also the pastors and the di.
rectors of your young mems associa.
tons to an energetic performance of
their duties. In particular, through
books and pamphlets, let them check
the spread of error, lay bare the
schemes and wiles of their enemies
and furnish suitable aid to those who
are Jealous for the truth
Newspapers and Reviews.
1t will be your duty, then, in your
episcopal conferences to deal with
this matter as it's seriousness demands
and adopt such measures as your uni
ted counsels may suggest. In this
connection, the Sacred Congregation
judges 1t opportune that the Bishops
in each country should state publicly
that the newspapers, periodicals, and
other writings of the association in
question which aim at spreading
among our Catholic people the errors
of rationalism and religious indiffer-
entism. are expressly forbidden by
the law Of the Church. (See the Code
of Canon Law, Can. 1884, p. 2; 1899,
lp. 4. Such publications are, among
others, "Fede Vita" Faith and Life,

whatever is decided upon and put in

For time the Pope was visibly
taken aback by the tone of the ap

a regrettable oversight that calls for
prompt rectification, hence to the hon

No sooner did it become known thai
the Cardinal of Milan was doomed to
martyrdom from cancer in the

GEORGE WASHINGTON.

Year after year speakers and
writer's throughout the country
break forth in fervent eulogy of
the man to whom this nation owes
its existence and preservation.
The highest encomiums are con-
sidered none too superb to shower
upon the Father of his Country.
And well it is so, for so long as a
people continues to revere the
memory of its noblest benefac-
tors there is hope that the ideals
professed by those heroes will re-
main honored and vivifed.
George Washington stands out
in peculiar light. He was not
only towering figure in the ma
tional life when that life was
threatened with destruction, but
he gave an example Of trust in
Divine Providence that was the
basis Of his courage and heroism
in the battles Of the world.
Raised upon a lofty pedestal by
the grandeur of his soul and the
splendor Of his spirit, Washing
ton never faltered in the task as
signed to him, never sought the
plaudits that were rightly his,
never lowered the principles Of
high resolve nor claimed for him.
self the glory Of victory which he
attributed to the God whom he
served.
In this uprightness of character
Washington has set an example
not only for every American, but
for every Christian. Many an
other parsonage placed in high
station, endowed with exception
al gifts, crowned with hard-won
triumphs, has lost his balance and
fallen to the depths through
adulation and fattery. Countless
lesser lights have been dimmed by
their attachment to human praise
and commendation, forgetting. in
the hour of victory, that all good
gifts are from God above, to
whom alone belongs the glory for
successful achievement.
The. nation that forgets its God
is already doomed to destruction.
America is not yet two hundred
years old; it is still a youth
among the peoples Of earth. An
Gent times saw Babylon and Per-
STA, Greece and Rome, equally as
/ strong, as prosperous and secure
/ in their confidence as our own
land. And yet these wonderful
nations Of antiquity are but a
memory. They went after false
gods; they worshipped at the
shrines of Mammon and Luxury
laughingly did they run ON their
way until the God they had
spurned overlook them, and to-
day their great ones are forgot
ten, their glorious cities a heap of
ruins, their wealth and power dis
sipated on the winds that moan
through the deserts.
Yes, Washington is the Father
of our Country, but he is also a
standing reproof to those who
would build without trust in God,
to those who mock Him and seek
to tear the knowledge of Him
from the hearts of children. This
constitutes wickedness. And the
most terrible thing that is re-
corded Of the wicked after their
chastisement is that "God will
mock at them in their destruc.
! ton"
