EUCHARIsTIC LEAGUES.

The special intention for the
League of the Sacred Heart for
the month Of April is Eucharistic
Leagues. 1t is a distinct call from
the Father Of Christendom to his
children everywhere to fan the
flames Of their love and devotion
toward our Blessed Lord in the
Sacrament OF His infinite mercy
and goodness. asrs
I The Holy Eucharist is the cen
trail fire of Catholicity. AS a
noted divine stated it some time
ago, the real difference between
the Catholic Church and the many
denominations is that we have the
Real Presence, while they have
but the real absence. For sim
cere Catholic the Blessed Sacra-
mcnt is the center and scource of
all consolation and hope and
strength. 1t is the lodestone
which draws together the hearts
of the faithful and cmpurples
them in the Blood of Christ. 1t
is the cone thing that matters.
a strange anomaly, however, is
found even among those who are
bound in faith and belief to the
Encharistic Lord. In spite of their
firm convictions and undoubted
love, they appear, and they really
are. apathetic in approaching this
divine fire. Cold and miserable
themselves, they yet hesitate to
draw near to the genial warmth
that is intended to vivify and
brighten and nourish their souls.
When. death looms before them,
their first thought is for the priest
with the Blessed Sacrament that
they may safely cross the chasm
that separates from the world be-
yond. And yet, how often such
persons tive and act as if faith in
this sublime mystery were the
furthcst thought from their minds.
All other devotions in the Cath
Ollie Church are subsidiary to the
grand and central dogma which
teaches the Real Presence of Jesus
Christ In the Eucharist. He is
there because, having the power to
effect this marvel. He Himself
said so. He invites His children to
visit and to receive Him in their
hearts. Pleading pathetically for
the love Of His creatures. he vet
suffers in silence when spnrned or
neglected. Is anything more pitt
able than the longing of love for
its object that fails to respond
Unrequited affection wreaks hav-
DC among human beings: in the
case of Man towards his Maker
the effect of such indifference is
entirely Mans loss.

OF preparation for our teachers in
the art and science of schoolroom
instruction are shown to be found
ed on exact and exacting prin-
ciples of sound pedagogy, equal
ling and paralleling the training
given to other teachers. In fact,
a comparison of the two systems
shows that larger percentage of
Catholic teachers has had higher
training than is the ease with the
100000 public school teachers of
the country. Besides, the aver
age teaching life of public school
teacher is four and one-half
years, while onr Catholic teachers
devoteaa lifetime to this work.,
As regards the objection that
Catholic parents should send their
children to the public school,
figures are adduced which disclose
that Practically every Protestant
religious organization provides for

CAL CATHOLIC.

The funeral of Harry p. Nawn, ma
tionally known as construction engi-
neer, and one of the leading Catholic
laymen in New England, was held
from his former parish church, st.
Hughs in Roxbury, Mass, April /. Be-
sides attending to his business, Mr..
Nawn found time to devote to the
many charities in which he was inter-
ested. 1t was for his benefact:ons to
Catholic institutions that Pope Plus,
in 1914, conferred on him knighthood
in the Order of st. Gregory.
Mr.. Nawn built practically all of the
vast underground network of subways
and tunnels of Boston. He built the
Government Proving grounds at Scitu-
ate and during the war also did much
work at Hog Island. Later he built
the shipways and did other work at
Camden, N. j., for the New York Ship
building Corporation.
One of the biggest tasks was the
building of the Wachusetts Dam, near
Clinton, Mass. To accomplish this, a
town of LOO people had to be moved
and the. mills, churches and dwellings
leVeled. 1t took three years to exca-
vate the site. but finally a valley eight
and half miles long and two miles
wide with the land for miles around
was prepared. The construction of
the dam was a gigantic undertaking.
The wall holds back some 65,000,000,-

THE NEW MEXICO PENI
TENTES.

Considerable publicity is given
each year about this time to the
rites of fagellation and "cruci
hxlon' practiced by certain peo.
pie in New Mexico. It is not Al.
ways clear from the accounts as
to just what is meant by these
ceremonies. Briefly, the origin
and nature of ths custom may be
stated as folloWs.S
During the Middle Ages various
societies of penitents originated
throughout Europe. Some of these
organizations practiced penance
TO an heroic degree, while Others
went to extremes and gradually
were condemned and forbidden bv
the Church.
In early Spanish times the Third
Order OF st. Francis ffonrished in
New Mexico and other parts
where the Spaniards settled. The
members on certain occasions
marched in procession, in bare
feet, carrying crosses. and scoure-
ing themselves. Later on the
New Mexican Penitentes were
formed and they resorted to bar
barous practices, such as furious
negotiations, cutting themselves
with sharp stones, while four or
SIX lnclslons. in the shape of a
cross were made below the shout
ders OF the candidates with piece
OF sharp flint. One of the breth-
rem, on Good Friday. is bound TO q
cross, as in crucifxion.
When the Penitentes reached
their worst stage (between 1850
9O), the Church ordered them to
cease their savage rites. Arch
bishop Salpointe of Sante Fe. in
1886, issued a letter to the Peni-
tentes Of Colorado and New
Mexico, commanding them to
abolish f1agellation. AS his orders
were UNDECIDED. he wrote to the
parish priests to notify the men,
bers personally of his orders. A
Protestant paper. La Hermandad.
published in Pueblo, Colorado. in
1859, melted the Penitentes to re.
slst the Church and to follow their
own rules. In that year Archbish-
OPP Salpointe ordered the Peniten-
tes dlsbanded. This checked their
growth, and the practice is now
found in very few places and
among the ignorant peasants
alone.

THE LATEST HAPsBURG.

The death of the late emperor
Charles Francis of Austria last
Saturday. an exile OH the island
OF Madeira. brings to close an.
other chapter in the history of the
royal house of IIapsburg. A plain
ordinary man, distinguished by nc
special traits of genius, but an
exemplary Christian husband and
father, Charles lived but a short
time to enjoy the power that once
made Europe tremble. Tossed
upon the throne in the troubled
era following the assassination of
Ferdinand, the late king went
through the world war without
giving proof Of extraordinary
ability as a warrior or a leader.
The end Of the conflict saw him
the center OF a storm raised by
the dissOnant elements in his
Heterogeneous kingdom. Driven
from the throne, and twice essay
ing a return, he was finally. by
order OF the allies, banished TO the
Madeiran isle where he soon
languished and died. "
The line Of Hapsburg properly
begins with the great Rudolph of
that name who, as German EN-
peror, IN 1882 gave Austria in fief
to his son Albrecht. From that
time forward the house of Haps-
burg has ever played a prominent
role in the changing history of
Europe. At times defending the
Church, its rulers again became
prosecutors. While it's kings
wrought nobly often for the good
OF religion, the Church suffered
much from the effects of Joseph
lnlsm which began with. the
emperor Joseph II. Although
meddllng in affairs of religion was
a pastime of many Hapsbures,
even as it was with practically
all kings, still as a rule this noble
house remained faithful to it's best
traditions. The late Emperor
Francis Joseph, who reisned for
more than sixty years, received
the homage of the whole Austrian
hierarchy for his devoted service
to Church and country.
1T now remains to be seen
whether the youthful prince Fran
els Joseph Otto, nine-year-old son
OF the deceased monarch, will be
accepted in Austria as the leeiti-
mate ruler. Indications point to a
powerful party and a strong
sentiment on the part of the
people for the restoration of the
monarchy. But the regent Hortbv
and the allies must be rcckoncd
with IN any attempt at such an
act. Possibly London and Paris
VIII have much more to saw in
lhls matter than will the Austrians
themselves.

DR.. CYRUS NORTHRoP

The passing of the distinguish
ed educator, former president of
the University of Minnesota. was
the signal for encomiums and of
expressions of deep regret from
men in every walk of life. The
venerable teacher, DR.. Northrop,
had not only won the admiration
OF his students through MANY
years of scholastic instruction :
he bound to himself their affection
and esteem for his lofty ideals, his
high moral vision and that intan-
gible gift of rare personality.
DIR. Northrop belonged to the
old school, not merely by reason
OF his years but by virtue of his
outlook upon life and his apprccia-
ton of the human and the spirit
ual values in that life. Imbued
himself with Christian principles,
ne ever sought to impress upon the
young men and women entrusted
10 his care the paramount need of
Christian morality in the scheme
OF human existence.
Growing old gracefully. with
faculties unimpaired, mind still
keen and heart pulsating love for
his fellows, DIR. Northrop went
down into the Valley as gently
and quietly as one stepping into a
pleasant garden. Death found
him at the height of his wears,
working and busy with the well
fare of his fellow man. His friends
IN every station in life, men and
women of every persuasion, pause
IN grief at his departure. A noble
soul and renowned educator has
answered the final call, but the i'm
press of his valiant spirit will
glow in the lives and in the
thoughts and deeds of countless
beings who from him received the
impulse which speeds mind and
heart upon the path of rect;tude

Numerous charts and tables, to-
gether with useful references at
the end OF each chapter, tend to
place the subject of Catholic edn.
cation in unmistakable light.
The Importance of this little
treatise cannot be overestimated
1t shows the nature and origin of
schools in this country, and with
history as a guide it points out
the fact that for many years they
were religious in foundation and
teaching. Thus chapter X states
THE first American schools
were religious schools. The same
can be said Of our great American
colleges. For over two hundred
wears after the settlement of the
English colonies all the schools
were church schools, and many of
these were Catholic. The same is
true of the Spanish and French
settlements, where all the schools
were Catholic. The unsupported
public school, as system of State
education, dates from 1850. and
has, therefore, no claim to being
considered the only true American
system of education.
The various fallacies with re-
gard to the Catholic school are
easily exploded by dispassioned
presentation of plain and indispu-
table facts. Thus, in comparative
tables, it is shown that in the
average Catholic high school re-
lloious instruction is given from
80 to $50 minutes a week out Of a
totalzef 1850 minutes Of instr,,c.
ton in all subjects. In the grade
schools the average runs from 80
to 200 minutes ont of | 500
minutes week. This alone shat
tiers the accusation that too r,ucb
time is given to religion in our
schools.
Time schedules of studies in
public and parochial schools are
offered in evidence that the latter
meet the former on even footing
in every branch of pedagogical en-
deavor.
This little book is veritable
mine of enlightening statistics
and convincing arguments in
favor of the Christian education
Eof our children. The. reasons for
religious teaching are explained
