DIE FROM FAMINE
NUNS AND PRIESTS IN AUSTRIA
ARE REPORTED STARVING.

There must be at least one thou
sand nuns in Austria who are bed-fast
from starvation, writes the N. G. w. G.
correspondent from Olmutz. In one
convent that I know of with seventeen
members of the community ill and
confined to their beds, but two sisters
are able to be up and about. In an
other convent all save one are unable
to walk. The clustered nuns are the
worst off of all. They are i'll, penni-
less, and hungry. Father Tierney, the
Editor of America, while in Vienna
gave several thousand dollars to some
of the sisterhoods that were penniless
and starving. He also gave to the
Bishop of Salzburg $1,000 to he used
for the starving babies and the nuns
who had been in charge.
The condition of many of the mem
bers of the clergy here is the same
as that of the sisters. They are with:
out money and weakened from starva.

OREGON SCHOOL BILL
NON-cATHOLlCS DEFEND THE
PRIVATE SCHOOLS.

Opposition to the Oregon anti-pri-
vate school measure, which is to be
voted upon at the November elections
this year, is growing and has recently
been strengthened from non-Catholic
sources. Presbyterian, Episcopalian,
Lutheran and Adventist organizations
as we'll as Catholics have taken UP the
fight against passage of such legisla-
ton, and representatives of private
non-denominaticnal schools have also
manifested interest. #
A vigorous argument against the
measure was made recently in a state
ment signed by a group of 10 promi
nent business men of Portland. They
describe the measure as Initiating
"the method of public education which
brought Prussia to her deserved de
strnction,n and contended that the
title of the bill is deceptive, since
compulsory education, which this
measure purports to provide, is al
ready required by law in Oregon.

ton that the laity should correct by
encouraging cur young people to go
into the universities and take the
leadership in educational work, which
they are able 10 do if they will but
put their efforts to it.
He pleaded for the extension and
support of the Catholic Foundation at
Illinois where the students are given
university credit for work done, say
ing:
Whether you hold to the belief that
Catholics should seek their education
in the Catholic colleges or not, you
cannot be blind to the fact that there
are more Catholic students doing col
legiate work at Illinois than there are
doing similar work in all of the Cath

that there are 100000 Catholics in the

Two-thirds of our young people who
are reaching out for leadership in edu-
catiOnal affairs are therefore without
the opportunity of the religious train.

asset to Mother Church.
"The Catholic foundation at Illinois,
and those at Iowa and California are
endeavoring to meet this emergency
and on their successor the success
of you men who are pioneers in this
great movement-will depend wheth
er this same thing is to be done at

XII MUx ACTIVE

IN SEVERAL STATES.

The Ku Klux Khan has been an is

recently and has attracted attention
because of its political activities in
other localities. Following it's undis
guised participation in the Texas pri
maries it was recognized as one of the
dominant issues in the recent cleo
tions held in Oklahoma.
The latest evidence of its activities
comes from Louisiana where it has
been revealed that the Khan is work
ing quietly in the rural districts with
the idea in mind of putting a full tick

year. 1t is said that the organization
is already laying plans to capture the

MAs0N'S VIEW OF T0WNER BILL.
Continued from Page 1

the measure that the amount of illit-
eracy in the United States justifies the
creation of this great education bu-
reaucracy at Washington In March
OF this year, Horace M. Towner, one
of the sponsors of the bill, spoke at
the Masonic Temple in Brooklyn, and
declared that the rate of illiteracy
throughout the United States was g
per cent. This statement is contra
dicted by the reports of the Bureau of
the Census at Washington, which give
the rate of illiteracy at per cent
(See Department of Commerce, Blu
reau Of Census, dated October II,
1929
Illiteracy is Being Abolished.
In 1880, the illiteracy rate was II
per cent. In 1890, it was 1873 per
cent. In 1900, it was 1917 per cent,
and in 1910, II per cent. In 1920, it
was down to per cent. In the state
of New York, the rate of illiteracy is
only 2.7 per cent. In Iowa, it is IL
per cent. In twenty-three states,
namely, Indiana, Wisconsin, Minneso-
ia, Iowa, Missouri, North Dakota,
South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Del
aware, Virginia, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Kentucky,
Alabama, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Mon
tana, Idaho, Wyoming and Arizona,
the percentage of illiteracy has gone
down Is per cent in ten years between
1910 and 1920. This is true, also, of
the District of Columbia In Montana,
it has decreased so per cent. In South
Carolina, it was reduced from 25.7 per
cent in 1910 to 1871 per cent in 1920.
In Alabama, there We're only 27S, OS2
in 1920 as against 362,71O in 1910. With
the declining rate of illiteracy and an
increasing potency in our educational
system everywhere, it would seem alb
surd to change the system of educa-
ton. The bill was based on war hys-
terra and was designed in so far as
local interests were concerned to ben
eft a few southern states which had
neglected their educational work at
the expense of the great majority OF
states which had gone forward splen-
didly with that work. This is, how
ever, mere iniquity which might be
dealt with were it not for the greater
menace involved in the creation Of
political agent having the power to
exploit the great educational work of
this country for his own advantage. IL
he should so desire, or for the I'M.
culcation of ideas subversive of the
American system of government as we
have enjoyed it and prospered under
it from the birth of this republic. The
vicious nature of the legislation is
best evidenced in the sectarian propa-
ganda that has been carried on in its
behalf Men with measures for the
general good come into the open with
them and discuss them before the peo-
ple. at large They do not seek the
support of. secret organizations; and
am sure that the Masonic fraternity
whose purposes always run concur
rently with American freedom, would
rebuke this effort to use its great in
fluence and authority for the benefit
of proposal inimical to American lib
erty and injurious to American cul-
ture.

TO WIN CONVERTS
PROSELYTiSM IN THE WEST
CHEAP EDUCATION TO
ALLEVIATE FROM FAITH.

An evidence of the PROSECUTING work
being done among the Mexicans of the
West is to be had in the offer made to
families in the Theatine Fathers mis-
sion field around Conejos, Colo, to
give an education to girls at the very
low rate of SIS year in Presby-
terrain school at Santa Fe. This tut
ton is for a nine-month term, with
music SIS extra. Books are furnished.
The girls are not allowed to go home
for vacations and Spanish CONVERSE
ton is forbidden among them, except
on certain occasions. Violations OF
this rule mean the forfeiture of holt.
day privileges. Spanish letters may
be written once month, others once
a week, but all go through the hands
of the teachers. The students are re-
quired to attend the Presbyterian
church in a body every Sunday. The
name of the institution is the Allison

MONUMENT TO PEACE
MEMORIAL CHURCH TO RISE IN
ETERNAL cITY-PLAN OF
BENEDICT XIV.

Plans have been drawn up for a
peace memorial church to be built in
Rome as a monument to Pope Bene-
diet XIV, whose wish it was that such
a temple be erected. He entrusted the
preparation of the plans to Signor Ar
mando Brasini, young architect just
rising to eminence, who is said to be
a master of the Renaissance style.
The projected church will be dedi-
Gated to st. James, the patron of Pope
Benedict, and the four Eyangelists. 1t
will occupy a site in the quarter of
the Parioli beyond the Villa Borghese.
and the great main edifice, circular
in form, will be. approached from the
front through an imposing colonnade.
At the time the commission was CIV
en- for the plans, it was estimated that
the proposed structure would cost 3d.
100000 lire and would be an imposing
addition to the Christian architecture
of the Eternal City. 1t is probable,
however, that it will not be possible
to start work on the structure for
some time to come.
