AUGMENTATION WORK
X. or c.. HAVE SOUND PRlNcI-
PILES IN iNcULcATING COURSE
OF STUDY ADAPTED TO EACH
NATIONAL CHARACTER.

The first Americanization report of
the Knights of Columbus, issued by
Supreme Secretary William J. McGin-
ley for the K of C. education commit
tee, shows that the X. of c. have
spent more than 100000 in what is
known as Americanization work.
"This work." the report reads, "has
taken the form of the study of Eng
lish and American laws and customs
in the chain of vocational schools
operated by the Knights of Columbus
throughout the country. We have
had approximately $4,000 men and
women take up these courses, the
principal part of which is the Ameri-
can constitution.
"Our experience is that American
ization is not only an unwelcome
term to those who seek to study the
matters it embraces, it is also an in
sufficient term, that has been and is
much abused by so-called uplift
agencies. We have found hundreds
of young men, American-born for gen.
erations, who were ready to admit
and eager to supply their lack OF
knowledge of American institutions
and the rights and duties of citizen
ship.
cat the same time we know that
thousands of the foreign-born who
are most in need of training in Amer
lean citizenship are repealed by the
tactless efforts of uplifters to reach
them. This has been especially the
case with foreign-born men formerly
with the military and naval forces
whose patriotism is unquestionably
proved by their service.
"In so-called Americanization work,
which we prefer to call citizenship
study, it is fatal to the objective to
make the curriculum stiff and hide
bound. Each individual case must be
studied, especially as different ma
tional groups must have their various
traditions modified and adapted te
American ideals and practises. In ex
pending approximately 100000 fol
books and tuition in free citizenship
courses in the 1872 X. of c.. schools
and in supplementing this by extra
mural work through open forums III
scores of communities, we feel thai
| the Knights of Columbus have found
| a way to inculcate genuine American
ism, which comprises also the train
| ing for livelihood, as distinct from
| the hysterical attempts to coerce pa
triotism into the minds of those who
must understand it before. they cal
practice it."

K. c. AND INCOME TAX

Forty-one thousana income tax re-
ports were filled out successfully this
year by former service men who re-
ceived special income tax training in
Knights of Columbus free night
schools through the country. The in
comes these men reported on were
not their own. But fee was paid by
each individual or concern whose re-
turns were made by the K of C. stu
dents Some of the soldier pupils
made as much as 500 per week dur
ing the rush days Although the
course is a strenuous one, the K. of c.
schools have yet to drop man for
incompetence, which proves that the
income tax is not as knotty problem
as tradition reputes it.

DIOCESE OF ST. CLOUD

Little FalIs:f The st. Patrick's Day
celebration given under the auspices
of the Woman's Guild of this city
at the Knights of Columbus hall, was
most delightful affair. Walter
Grimes played a violin solo, Constan-
tine Drowskowski, cello selections, Ra-
mona Randall gave piano solo, and
Mrs. Chas. Jenson's singing of Kath-
leen Mavourneen was very fine. The
musicians were all heartily encored
and they graciously responded. The
accompanies were the Misses Ailene
Grimes and Ramona Randall. Rev.
Daniel O'Driscoll greeted the audience
in most droll manner and then intro
duced the speaker of the evening.
Rev. John Fearon. His subject, THE
Isle of Destiny" was handled in a
most able manner, covering many GEN.
turtles of history, and expressing his
views in most forceful manner, and
unfolding lofty sentiments throughout
his talk. He was given the closest
attention until the close OF his lecture.
The decorations were in the Irish
colors, and the arrangement of the
tables with the same color scheme
carried out made very pretty pic
ture, while perfect order prevailed
during the serving of about three hun
dred people. Mesdames Benfield and
Simonet had charge of this part OF
the work and deserve much credit.
The Lowell and Falk orchestras dis
coursed music at intervals throughout
the entire affair.
The Woman's Guild also gave
charity social before Lent which was
a great success. The last donations t
outside sufferers were given to the
starving in China.
The study Of Church History in the
| United States was taken up at thu
Lenten literary programs. A goodl!
sum was realized from voluntary con
tributions at these meetings for TIT
purchase of Catholic literature.

states that on December /, 1920, there
were 81 schools with an enrolment
of 1851 pupils, taught by 116 religious

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
GoUNoD's MASS, "JoAN OF ARC
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
So many city churches can now
boast trained and ambitious choirs
with whom Gounod's Masses are a ia
vorite, that it seems passing strange
that none of them has yet produced
his famous Military Mass in honor of
Joan of Arc. Now that that heroine
has actually been raised to our affairs
and been declared canonized saint,
and with the echoes of the great
World War still ringing in our ears,
this beautiful Mass, with it's recurring
fanfare of trumpets, would seem to
furnish the most appropriate music for
grand triumphal festival like Eas-
ter that could possibly be offered.
The writer heard what was claim
ed to be it's first performance in
America, some thirty years ago, in
Minneapolis, where it was admira bly,
rendered with full chorus, organ &C
compartment and eight trumpeters, by
non-Catholic musical organization.
1t was striking illustration of how
non-C Catholics sometimes seem to APP
preciate the beauties of Catholic art
more than Catholics themselves.
Will no. Catholic choir undertake
the performance of this masterpiece
in the near future? 1t would surely
furnish a pleasing departure from the
well known repertoire of Gounod's
Masses which have been heard so
often as to become almost common.
place. If our Holy Father is good
enough to send the requiem music
composed especially for the burial of
Popes,- to be used at the funeral OF
Americas great Cardinal, why should
not American choirs reciprocate by
occasionally performing Gounod's Mil.
itary Mass with its stirring fanfare.
made of trumpets in honor of st. Joan
of Arc whom the Supreme Pontiff has
so recently raised to the affairs of the
Church?
