lists of books relative to education.
The department throughout the
year has been very active in it's oppo-
sition to the Sterling-T -Towner bill and
numerous conferences have been held
and opposition to this measure has
been established among nom Catholic
educators.

American Catholic colleges was pre-

ADMIRAL BENsoN's ADDRESS
MESSAGE AND BENEDIcTIoN
FROM POPE.
(By N. c. w. C. News service.)

(By N. c. w. c. News Service.)
: The defense of Catholic school in
terests will be the principal work of
the National Council of Catholic Men
during the coming year.
The delegates enlisted for the cru
sade to protect Catholic school inter-
ests and returned to their homes in
every section of the country eager
to begin work on the program outlin-
ed in the three-day session.
The Right Rev. Augustus Schwert-
ner, Bishop Of Wichita, spoke in st.
Patrick's, Washington, D. c., where the
convention was formally opened with
Pontifcal Mass. The keynote Of his
sermon was: 'The greatest battle of
the future will be for the defense of
Catholic education, and If the Nation
al Council Of Catholic Men does moth
ing more than safeguard the existence
of our Catholic schools, it will have
more than justified its existence"
Message from Pope.
The delegates were inspired in their
deliberation, not alone by the approba
tion of the hierarchy, but by a special
blessing sent by His Holiness, Pope
Plus xI, acknowledging their message
of filial devotion and praying for the
success of their labOrs.
This message, addressed to the
Right Rev. Joseph Schrembs, Bishop
of Cleveland, was as follows:
"The Holy Father accepts mos
gratefully the filial homage of the Ma
tional Council of Catholic Men Assem-
bled in Washington and he sends mos
lovingly His Apostolic Benediction a;
a pledge of Divine favor for the hap
py success OF their labors.

of and in behalf of the Catholic school
system. The manifold program adopt
ed at the first national convention last
year and successfully inaugurated in
different parts Of the United States
under the direction of the ordinaries
of the different dioceses will be inten-
sifed and, extended. This program
included work in behalf of better citi.
zenship, boys welfare, Catholic
immigration, social study, Catholic
historical records, and the Catholic
press.
One of the crying necessities en-
phasized by delegates was that OF
better citizenship campaign as a fac
tor in defense of Catholic interests.
Delegates from points as far removed
as Detroit in the north and Ell Paso
in the south pointed out that the fail
ure of Catholics to register, the failure
of Catholic immigrants to become cit
izens, and the failure of Catholics to
vote were factors which permitted Wig
orous and maleyolent minorities TO at.
tack Catholic institutions with impu-
nifty.
Admiral Benson Presides.
The sessions we're presided over by
Admiral William S. Benson. In his
opening address, he spoke of the

lie university.
"The mists of uncertainty have been
cleared away" said Admiral Benson
