The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1921-06-18

A campaign has been inaugural
ed among the various Catholic do
ceses to gather together large
quantity Of supplies, in grain,
flour, clothing and money, for the
immediate relief Of the distressed
peoples Of Central Europe. Need
less is it to expatiate upon this
subject, as the mere knowledge
that suffering human beings are
dying of starvation should be sue-
fcient to arouse the most apathe-
tic.
The different Bishops have is
sued urgent appeals to priests and
people to join in this grand cam
paign Of charity and to show by
effective results the genuine spirit
of brotherhood that actuates them
towards their brethren. Central
Europe often helped us in our
early struggles, and that is an add
ed reason for Fastening to their as
sistance now in the hour of their
sorrow.
Mr.. John @. Juenemann, AZ W.
9th ST., st. Paul, is secretary of
the general committee in charge of
this great work. ALI forms Of help,
or inquiries about same, should be
forwarded to Mr.. Juenemann who
will direct them along the proper
channels.

POOR IRISH TEACHERS
SECONDARY EDUCATION IN IRE
LAND STARVED - TEACHERS
BARRED IN GREAT BRITAIN.
(By N. C. w. C. News Service.)

(By N. =. w. ". NEWS S6rVlc0.)
In Ireland the Government has
starved secondary education. The
great majority of the secondary
schools are in the hands of Catholics.
Foremost amongst these are the
schools conducted by religious orders,
the Christian Brothers and the Do
cesar Seminaries managed by the
Bishops and the secular clergy. Grants
for education have been enormously
increased in Britain, but no equiva-
lent increases have been given to the
Irish schools.
In equity there is 100000 due to
Ireland. The Chief Secretary refuses
to pay this.
The result is that the secondary
system of education has been COM
pletely disorganized and brought to the
brink of ruin. In the past many Irish
teachers have found employment in
Great Britain. Now, it appears, boy
colt has been organized against them
in that country. An Irish secondary
teacher who applied for an appoint.
ment on the staff of an English school
received reply stating:
"The headmaster begs to inform
you that no candidate from Ireland
is eligible to hold any post in above
school,"
The secondary teachers are denied
a living salary at home. They are
debarred from employment in Britain.

THE ADMIRAL'S ZEAL.

Admiral Benson is one Of the

He is also a convert to Catholicity.
Recently he stated in an address
that unless all the men In his par
ish, Washington, d. G., affiliated
with the Men s Council, Of which
he is president, he would forthwith
leave the parish and dwell else
where. The Admiral is man of
deeds; he believes few words are
sufficient to arouse the rational
being into action; he marvels at
the beauty and strength of the
Church, and cannot understand
the apathy of the born Catholic "
in so many cases. Admiral Ben
son should be the pastor of a large
parish. Better still, he would
make an ideal Bishop.
It is to be feared, however, that
the Admiral has not yet penetrat-

nominal Catholic, like the nominal

AMERICA AT THE VATICAN

During the period that has i'll
tervened since the beginning of
the world war seven years ago,
practically every nation, except
ing the United States and Italy,
has appointed representative of
some kind at the Vatican. Gov
ernments that formerly had a
mere agent at Rome have raised
this slight representation to an
embassy of more dignifed stature.
Even England, that so maligned
the Papacy during the early years
of the war, has her formal ambas-
sador accredited to the Vatican.
And now France, the erring
daughter, has come back penitent,
and dispatches tell us that Ne. JON
mart is to act in behalf of his gov
eminent as diplomat to the Pope.
The Italian press is limiting at the
advisability of getting into the
game and of appointing an official
to treat directly with the papal
government.
Some talk has been heard of an
ambassador from the United
States, especially in view of the
prominent part which this coun-
try is coming to play in political
and religious affairs Of the world.
Mr.. Harding, however, has been
quoted as saying that there is no
probability of America sending
an ambassador to the Pope's city.
Even should such an event ma
terialize, to the horror and cha
grin of certain bigots, it would not
be the first time that the United
States has had an official repre-
sentative in the Vatican diplo-
matte family. In fact, from 1S48 to
1868 we had our official agents at
the Vatican. During that period
the Holy Father was not only
Pope of Rome, but also the de
facto king. In 1S4S Jacob L. Mar
tin died at his post in Rome. In
1861 the resident minister was
John P. Stockton, while Rufus
King, of Wisconsin, resigned his
position as Minister to the Holy
See in 1868. Since 1870, when the
Italian armies seized upon the
states of the Church, the Holy
Father has been virtually a prison
er in the Vatican and has not been
able to exercise his undeubted
rights as temporal sovereign.
He has never, however, ceased to
protest against the usurpation.
Now, even as a captive, he has sue
ceeded in drawing about his au-
gust person high dignitaries of
the diplomatic world representing
nearly every great nation upon
earth.
