SURREY NEWS

Last Friday the Eighth grade and
members of the high school paid a
visit to the East Side school. Not only
was this to be visit for the purpose
Of learning the various methods and
the obtaining of new ideas, but also
for the presentation of a picture of
Theodore Roosevelt A similar port
raft was hung in the Surrey high
school at which time the various
phases and episodes Of Roosevelt's life
were related. It was considered that
a like program would be fitting for the
East Side school and as result
party was formed, and means of con-
veyance was obtained which was ac-
companied by Miss Robson and Mr..
and Mrs. }. j. Larsen.
On the ARRIVAL the various classes
were heard and the excellent training
of the teachers proved by the good be-
havior of the pupils. After the classes
were heard one Of the high school stu
dents presented the picture, and other
members Of the grammar room relat-
ed stories and facts about Mr.. Roose-
welt. After the program the visitors
made their escape in their automobiles
amid the shouts and invitations to re.
turn.
Mr.. John Luchsinger Of Surrey has
purchased a new Ford. We are Won
dering who she is.

the school in the final contest which
will be held there the middle Of May.
The names Of the contestants were as
follows: Blanche Clouse, Gladys Har-
dy, Lydia Neidermeier, Lloyd Englar,
Favre Eaton and Paul Loffelmacher.
The judges, namely, Miss Agnes o.
Conner, Miss Stella Hoskins and Mr..
Jacob Hofto, chose Blanche Clouse as
the first girl and Paul offelmacher as
the first boy. Mr.. Hofto rendered the
decision and complimented the contest
ants on the quality Of work displayed
ard also encouraged them to further
efforts. Natural style was notable in
all the numbers of the program.
Due to the farming activities Of the
community only a very small audi
ence gathered to hear the contestants
and consequently there was lack Of
funds. Therefore, Mr.. Kelly kindly
consented to circulate subscription
to raise the necessary amount. The
people have been responding heartily
and we wish to thank them. We also
wish to thank Mr.. Kelley for circulat-
ing the subscription and for coaching
one of the contestants.

AMERICAN GIRLS TO CHINA.

For many years we have been
accustomed to read about mission
aries to the heather Chinee: only
lately has the thought been
brought home to us that the heath
en- can profit largely by American
ingenuity and enterprise. Ameri-
can efficiency is known throughout
the world; why not apply it in the
spiritual field for the benefit Of the
foreigner? This was the thought
in the minds Of the founders of
the youngest missionary society in
this country. Maryknoll came
into being, vitalized by the deter
mination Of jealous Americans to
do and suffer for the conversion
of the Brown and Yellow men.
just ten years old, this organiza-
ton is already beginning to meas
ure the stride of a giant.
Last week, st. Paul was brought
much nearer to Maryknoll through
the presence in our city Of six

a favor to God, as it was predicted.
In other cases such hostility is but
the result Of jealousy, envy or per-
sonal pique at the virtue Of 9TH
ers. From any viewpoint, the feel
ing itself brands man as narrow.
Even Catholics themselves are at
times not free from this charge as
regards others.
In politics this narrowness be-
comes even more narrow until as
a mental state it simply lacks
breadth: a man is denounced, on
account Of religion, race or civil
affiliations, as a hated enemy of
the established order. The very
men who make the attack boast of
their love for the brotherhood of
man. 1t is to laugh.
Even the man or the woman who
boasts Of deep religious belief,
and who endeavors to practice
piety and the exercises Of faith,
usually is held captive by some
narrow views. He or she will en-
terrain the most deep-seated antip-
athy towards others who are more
fortunate or happy or prosperous.
Some added honor or distinction or
office given to that other person
will serve to evoke the bitterest
sentiments, frequently, in those
who prize faith and virtue. In
other words, the narrowness of
the religious-minded usually is the
worst of all, for it is so opposed
to the spirit which they profess
and it lies deep and rankles in
their very being. The man who is
man will maintain his broad out
look and will refuse to run on a
mental narrow gauge.

Addressing the Catholic Lay

TENDER II, Admiral Benson said
Is it not a travesty on our boast
ed civilization that there should be
a state in this great union of states
wherein it would be possible to
have bigotry and hatred the hand
maid Of political ambition? Does
it not occur to you and other ma
tive sons of this great state that
the union Of states is sound at
heart, and that the ideals Of Amer
lea must prevail, and, in those
ideals, hate and bigotry can have
no status? Does it not seem
meet and proper to you that
if they do prevail here, our
great state will be looked upon
with contempt and scorn by all
men who subscribe to the ideals of
religious freedom, men who earn
estly and honestly believe that the
national Constitution is the beacon
to lead us on to more glorious
deeds, as we hold aloft the flame

Suicide statistics are put for
ward as an index of the economic
well-being Of the country by the
Metropolitan Life Insurance Com
pany, in pointing out that in the
first seven months Of 1921 the
rate increased twenty-six per cent,
the rate being 73 per 100000 of
100000 policy holders. The
downward trend had continued
steadily since 1915 until the early
part of this year. 'Month after
month, the suicide rate is mount
ing over the corresponding figures
for the months of 1920" says the
report of the statistical depart
ment, "and it is very likely that
the rate for the whole year will be
higher than for the preceding one

know whether the unemployment
situation of the last year is, in
fact, responsible for the observed
conditions as to suicide. -

FAST LOSES HONOR
CARDINAL LOST FRENCH DECO.
RATION BY OBSERVING FAST
AN AGED PRELATE.
(By N. C. w. C. News Service.)

: (By N. C. w. C. News Service.)
Cardinal de Cabrieres, when receiv-
ing the congratulations of the clergy
on his appointment as knight of the
Legion Of Honor, told them the curious
story of the way in which he came
near being decorated in 1890. He has
been Bishop of Montpelier since 1873.
The President, M. Carnot, having
arrived in Montpelier on an official
visit, Mgr. de Cabrieres had been in
vited to the official banquet, and a
case containing the cross of the Le-
gion of Honor had been placed as a
surprise under his napkin. However,
it was day of abstinence, the vigil
of the feast of Pentecost, and the Bish-
OPP did not appear at the banquet. The
president went away without having
seen him again. There was no fur

American life with all it's joys and
pleasures, with its prospects and
glorious future. But they listened
to higher call and so last week
they just dropped into the office of
the diocesan director of the Prop
agation of the Faith as noncha-
lantly as though they intended to
live here in the midst Of album
dance and material comforts all
their lives. They were on their
way to China, to the land Of opium
and dirt and filth and squalid pa
ganism in thought, word and deed.
Nor did they look for an early re-
turn to America; they are bound
to work for those Yellow people,
to teach them to be clearly and
virtuous and spiritual and holy
and children Of God. The local di-
rector of mission work is intense
ly interested in all that pertains
to the Chinese field Of Christian
endeavor; hence, the visit Of the
six heroines was mutually bene-
fetal.
But ten years ago Maryknoll
was established to aid the foreign
missions. The period Of develop
ment has been extremely rapid.
Today it numbers So priests, ITO
students, % brothers and 102 Sis
ters; all dedicated to the one OBJ
ject of making God better known
and loved by the people of the ORR
emit.
Is this not lesson, a salutary
admonition to the many men and
women who are lettering their
way through life without accom-
plishing any perceptible good for
themselves or for their fellows I?
A little zeal would set them on
the road to spiritual conquest.
How many a girl, who would like
to dedicate her life to God if she
could but find the proper channel
for her activities. Here were six
girls reared with the comforts and
delights of an American home !;
