stone. Many important ecclesiastics
attended the ceremonies.
The new school will cost $685.
and will be among the finest school
buildings in Washington.
Our Catholic schools not only rec

but what is more, they recognize the
sacredness of Divine Law" Monsignor
Thomas said. at is yet to be proved
that any parochial school has ever
taught contempt for either civil or
Divine law. Our aim is to make faith
full and loyal citizens, and along with
that to inculcate what we believe to
be the true doctrine of Jesus Christi
Referring to the proposal for the
standardization of education, Monsig.
nor Thomas declared:
1T means one set of books, one kind
of teachers, all with the same training
1t means that there will be no individ-
uality in our schools nor in ourselves
We are all to be poured out of the
same mold, to be made over, to be
standardized"
Monsignor Thomas said he wished
to see the relative merits of the paro

LATE CARDINAL FERRARl-oR-
DAINED NEARLY 1000 PRIESTS.

Announcement of the remarkable
tribute to the late Cardinal Ferrari OF
Milan, Italy, on the occasion of his flu
neral, attracts interest to the story of
Milan's Catholicity.
The diocese of Milan is one of the
largest in Europe; in it's 500 parishes
there are 100000 Catholics under the
care of $500 priests. The diocese, ac-
cording to the London Universe, ex-
tends as far as the Swiss Alps, and has
under it's ecclesiastical jurisdiction the
southern coasts of the three Lombard
Como and .Lugano
Immense valleys and high mountains,
with thousands of scattered villages,
form part of it's territory. The Car
dinal Archbishop visited the whole of
this vast diocese four times. This in
volved preaching four or five times a
day to great crowds of people, admin
istering, Confirmation to hundreds,
hearing Confessions, visiting the sick,
giving audience to rich and, poor alike;

ORTHODOX PATRIARCH DIES
HAD TO COME TO GREAT BRIT
AIN TO PROTEST AGAINST
TURKISH PERSECUTION OF
CHRISTIANS OF THE NEAR
EAST.

His Beatitude Mgr Dorotheos, Or
thodox Archbishop of Brusa and occu-
pant of the Ecumenical Patriarchal
Throne of Constantinople, died sud-
denly at the Ritz Hotel in London,
while on visit to plead the cause of
the Christian populations in the Near
East who are under Turkish domino
ton.
The late prelate was not, in the
strictest sense, the Patriarch of Con-
stantinople, since Germanos V, the ac-
tual Patriarch is still alive. Germanos
V resigned from the Patriarchate at
the time of the armistice in 1918, and
the Archbishop Dorotheos was ap-
pointed Acting Patriarch.
1t is stated that the last ,prelate of
the Greek Orthodox Church who came
to the West was the Patriarch Joso-
phat, who attended the Council of
Florence in 1888, and died in the coun-
cillar city.
In 1919 Archbishop Dorotheos went
to Paris to defend the rights and in
terests of the Christians in Turkey
When the revision of the Treaty of
Sevres was proposed, he left Constan.
tinople for London to defend Chris
tian interests.

FOUNDRtSS OF NUNS
ROME CONSIDERS BEATIFIcATloN
OF SANITY sIsTER-MARY Al.
KENHEAD-WAS FOUNDRESS OF
SISTERS OF CHARITY in IRE
LAND.
(By N. C. w. c. News Service

(By n. C. w. C. News Service.)
Mary Aikenhead, the foundress of
the Sisters of Charity in Ireland, is
among the latest names considered by
the Sacred Congregation of Rites for
Beatification.
= She was born in Cork in 1887; and
she died at the age of ~. Her father
was a physician and a Protestant; her
mother was Catholic Upon his
deathbed the father became Catho-
lie. Some time afterwards when she
was Is years of age Mary Aikenhead
was received into the Catholic Church
She devoted herself at a very early
age to charitable work, and when
about 25 she was commissioned by
Archbishop Murray of Dublin to car
ry out his plan of founding congre-
cation of the Sisters of Charity in
Ireland. In preparation for this great
undertaking she made a novitiate of
three years, from 1912 to 1915, in the
'cosvent Of the Institute of the Blessed
Virgin at York. She there assumed
the name she kept till death, Sister
Mary Augustine
On September 1, 1916, the first men,
bers of the New Order took their
vows in Ireland, Sister Mary Angus
tine being appointed Superintendent.
During the next sixteen years she
labored indefatigably, in organizing the
community and extending the scope
of it's activities. Under the pressure
of heavy work her health gave way,
and by 1881 she had become an in
valid. She, however, still continued
to direct the Sisters who under her
inspiration and guidance rendered
heroic assistance to the victims of
the plague in 1882. New institutions
were established by the order and in
pursuance of the directions of the SUI
perioress missions were sent to France
and Australia.
She lived until 1852, so that in her
last years she saw her native land re-
duced almost to wilderness by the
ravages of the famine of 1S4S. On
this occasion also the Sisters came
nobly to the rescue of the sufferers.
Despite intense physical pain Sister
Mary Augustine continued till the end
to direct the work OF the Order Be-
fore she passed away she had the sat
isfaction of seeing the Irish Sisters of
Charity in fourishing condition.
