ATHLETICS IMPORTANT FACTOR
IN CHOICE OF A COLLEGE.

idea of it's athletic proWess as re-

college or university that does not
keep up with the athletic world is re

otherwise sometimes, but we invaria-

The knights of Columbus have been

Cardinal Logue makes a touching
appeal to the people of his Archdio-

the Pope is organizing for the relief
of the stricken children of Europe.
1T is true" observes His Eminence,
that we have our own troubles here

NEW RELIGIOUS ART IN LOUVRE
EXHIBITION is WINNING PUBLIC
Z FAVOR - CATHOLIC ARTISTS
PRESENT GROUP WORK AS WAS
DONE in MEDlAEvAL AGES
MAURICE DENIS EXPLAINS NEW
ART.
BY N. C. w. C. News Service J

When in the spring of 1920, the cor
respondent of the N. C. W. G.. News
Service described the success achieved
in the Paris Salon des Beaux Arts by
the Section of Religious Art stress
was also laid on the fact that thence
forward there would be similar sec
tion every year. The great public fa-
vor which marked the first initiative
would certainly plead for its contin-
uance.
This was no rash forecast After
the lapse of only few months new
exhibition Of Modern Christian Art has
been inaugurated in the Palais du
Louvre, which is a government build
ing. The Director General of Fine
Arts represented the government at
the inaugural ceremony, and presided.
The exhibition was arranged by the St.
John Society, a Catholic organization
established for the restoration and the
spreading of religious art in all it's
various forms.
All Varieties of Religious Art.
Since the Salon of last spring, the
st. John Society has been successful
in assembling more than 500 new
works presented by some 200 different
artists, most of them Parisians, though
there can be found in the number also
an Englishman, Belgian, a Spaniard
and several Swiss.
All the different varieties of relig-
ious art are represented in the ex-
hibition. There are paintings whose
subjects and inspirations are altogeth-
er religious, such as Sacred Hearts,
Virgins, Celestial Visions, and also
large mural decorations intended to
cover the entire walls of a chapel. The
great artist, Georges Desva1liers, ex-
hibits a similar composition called
"Redemptio, and Albert Besnard, di-

Sisters of ST. Joseph risked their
lives to save sacred vessels which
were in danger of destruction when
fire wiped out the chapel in st. Johns
Catholic Orphanage in Philadelphia
last week. The chapel is located on
the third floor and the fire apparently
was caused by short circuit in cleo
trio wires. There are five hundred
and fifty boys sheltered in the orphan
age, but these were on the recreation
grounds behind the building when the
flames were discovered A statue of
the Blessed Virgin, which stood near
the altar, was found untouched by tile
flames.

CATHOLIC ART AND ARTISTS

ratings communion tables, altar lamps,
crucifixes, candlesticks, few affairs,
church furniture, richly engraved mis-
sails; gold and silverware, chasubles,
sacerdOtal ornaments inspired by me-
dieyal models, and, finally, laces, altar
cloths and tapestries.
Compositions by Groups.
Besides the separate pieces or those
classified by series of the same kind,
there are also to be seen ensembles
composed by groups of artists who
carry on their work in common, under
the supervision of one selected from
their number Accordingly, there are
a chapel of the Holy Virgin, chapel
OF st. John the Baptist, a chancel for
small village church-each the Joint
work of eight or ten different artists,
namely, an architect, sculptor and
painters, glassworkers, cabinetmakers,
etc. The walls of the Holy Virgin
chapel are adorned with pictures re-
calling the litanies, each panel having
been painted by different artist. But
great unity is preserved in the en-
semble, for all the artists who con-
tributed to the works are adopts OF
the same school of painting, and the
disciples of the same master.
Now number of these groups have
established permanent associations of
Catholic artists working in common,
or, at least, working under the same
direction. For that reason certain
works on exhibition are not presented
by private persons, but by the studios
in which these artists carry on their
work
Revival of MediaevaI System.
1t is quite noteworthy that this in
clination on the part of Catholic artists
to assemble together and, by discip-
line and a strong desire to achieve the
greatest possible beauty through the
unity of their efforts, tends to re-es-
tablish the former corporations and
brotherhoods of the Middle Ages.
The esthetic ideas of the different
studios mentioned in a preceding
paragraph are quite advanced. Most
of the works on exhibition are not
reminiscent of the old traditional and,
classical forms. This is cause of
wonder and even resentment to
number of visitors and critics. But it
is necessary to bear in mind that the
name of this exhibition is merely ''Ex-
hibition of Modern Art" and to under
stand these artists, heed must be given
to the statement of their acknowledg-
ed master, the great painter, Maurice
Denis. He said:
The New Art Explained.
1--WE study and consult the ancients,
but we take great pains to avoid trans
porting their forms and imagination
into our own work. Respectful of the
arts of the past, of which we are very
fond we perceive in them the teach
ing of ratio, and try to find in them ex-
amples of good taste, but, prompted
by our own personal faith, we elevate
our Imagination in order to discover
new manifestations of those eternal
truths which are the matchless sub.
stance of Christian art"

K. OF c. WAR ON RADICALISM

propaganda is more widespread now
than ever. Especially is the young
idea affected by the doctrines of So
cialism, 1t is conceivable that the, ex-
treme radicals anticipated a harvest
of recruits from the ranks of the re-
turned ex-service men, and it is also
conceivable that they would have re-
ceived this harvest if organizations of
every definite strength and resources,
such as the X. of c., had not stepped
in and accomplished such items of re.
construction as replacing 100000 vet
Grams in civilian employment, and edu-
eating tens of thousands of veterans
in free night schools.
The industrial disturbance following
the first reconstruction months has
unquestionably affected the balance of
young mems minds, and of young
women's minds. They have been and
are now more receptive to the doc
trines of the Bolshevik, and if the fig
ures could be obtained of the numbers
of young persons who read radical lit
erature and attend radical lectures
and pow-wows, the conservatives
would have chronic cold chill of the
spine.

ing their open forums. make it a point
to fill their auditoriums with young

party. The knights believe in a prop
aganda war against Socialism, because
Socialism does not hesitate to con-
duct propaganda warfare against
religion, especially against the Catho-
lie Church
In these forums of the X. of c.. the
plutocrat looking for blind cham
pionship of the rights of private prop
erty, is often rudely disappointed.
The Knights of Columbus recognize
as quickly as the extreme radical rec
ognizes, the unquestionable economic
evils from which this and every other
modern nation suffers. The knights
differ from the Socialists and general
run of radicals because they recon-
mend remedy for these evils instead
of destruction of the body social and
economic that ste.fesss the gsis.
AS a result of these forums the
Knights of Columbus have driven
many extreme radical lecturers from
the platform and converted many in
cipient Bolshevists back to the ranks

reached more than 100000 persons
through these forums. 1t is an effec-

While it is true that we never know

opportunity is going to come into our

we read the lives of the men of our
country who have risen from poverty

Of success, we find that there were
certain times in their lives when great
opportunities presented themselves,
that much Of the success of these men
was due to the fact that they were

Thriftless habits will undermine any
