erto has been the proud heritage
of every American. Other in
alienable rights have been sup
pressed, and it is only natural,
even although it may be disturb
ing, that having been successful
ins making the Constitution re-

he should educate his children. ).
What next? The succeeding
step, at once logical and inevi-
table, would be to forbid attend
ance at. certain places of worship,
it not to compel attendance at
particular conventicles designated
by the State.
The tendency is un-American
and vicious. 1t must be checked.
1t will be checked by the awak-

Noteworthy Centenary
VALENTINE HAuTY, THE "APos-
TLEoF THE BLIND" (174s-1s22).

In every era of the Church's history
the blind have been the object of pity
and commiseration, and her children
have given practical evidence of the
spirit of the Gospel within them by
doing what lay within their power to
alleviate the lot of these sufferers.
Much care was taken to instruct them
in manual arts and crafts, but owing
to prevalent idea that their mental
capacities were very limited, little or
no effort was made to develop the
powers of their mind.
The beginning of a new era in the
history of the education of the blind
was dated from heartless exhibition
that Valentine Hauy witnessed in 1771.
An inkeeper had provided for the an
nual fair at st. Divide. BY way of en-
tertainment CD ten poor blind beg
gars. whom he attired in ridiculous
costume and decorated with asses
ears, peacocks' feathers and big spec
tacles without lenses, were given the
parts Of idiots in a burlesque concert.
Filled with indignation at the sight,
Valentin Haiy-who at this time was
attached to the Ministry for Foreign
Affairs-resolved to devote his life to
the care of the blind and do for them
what the Able de PEpee had done for
the deaf and dumb.
1t was not, however, until 1886 that
Haiiy was in a position to put into
practice a momentous discovery he
had made of the art of printing books
in relief for the use of the blind. 1t
was in this year that he exhibited the
skill of some of his pupils before Louis
XVI at Versailles, who went into
lraptures over the wonderful novelty
Iof blind children reading, writing,
ciphering and playing orchestral
music. Great interest was Immediate
ly aroused, and so generous was the
patronage Of the King and public that
Hauy's Institut des Jeunes Aveugles
became solidly established and is a
Vigorous institution to this day 1t
became the mother institute of all
tmodern educational establishments for
the blind, and Valentin HaGy's serv-
ices were in demand in other. coun-
tries almost Immediately. He found
ed the National Institution for the
blind at Berlin, and summoned to
Petersburg he bestowed the same
benefits upon the Russians.
His system was studied by Sir
Charles Lowther, and by him intro
duced into England and became the
lever that moved into higher plane
the education of the blind in our coun-
try. Haiiy's system Of relief printing
and adaptations of it remained in
Vogue until displaced by the invention
of one of the pupils Of his institute
at Paris, Louis Braille -.
Il Valentin Haiy exhausted himself in
his endeavors to further the movement
he had initiated until, broken by in
ffirmity and old age, he returned to
Paris, where, IN the spring Of 1922, he
died in the arms OF his priest brother,
Renee, who himself was borne to his
,, grave three months later.

effects of it's suspension are keenly
felt now 1t must be resumed at
all costs.
In the opinion Of Mgr. Walter
bach there ought to be more than
that Immediately aimed at. At least
some leaders should be thoroughly
aud Systematically prepared for
every parish. These leaders, in
whatever profession or occupation,
would be the first and the most eff
cient cooperating forces of the local
clergy. 1t was with this in view that
the Munich Leo House, Catholic
peoples high school, was founded
and maintained at great sacrifice.
As a social investment, however, ii
will eventually bring in great re-
turns. Any Catholic man Of means
could do no worthier or more oppor-
tune act of beneyolence than to en-
dow an institution of the kind, OF
even to found scholarship enabling
some capable young man to fit him
self for intensive cooperation in the
social action of our Catholic socie-
ties.
A Desideratum Realized.

idea embodied in the Catholic Mems
School of Social Studies, with such
| scholarly men as His Grace the
| Archbishop, the Rev. Humphrey
| Moynihan, D. D., and the Very Rev
Thos. Cullen, Phi. D., assuming {
leading part in it, is. a practica
realization Of the desideratum fol
which Mgr. Walterbach makes hi
plea in Germany. The trained la,
speakers who will be fitted to maxi
the rounds of the parishes will be

meetings where so often there is il
evidence only the stagnation tina

Men be blest and prospered, an

from the home and depriving them OF

from the home and depriving them of
it's genuine happiness"
Year by year the influences Of the
home are becoming less sacred. The
authority of parents is steadily dimin-
ishing. Fathers and mothers no longer
regard themselves as the officials of
a divine institution. The home is not
considered the unit of society, nor Is
it viewed as having the sanction Of
God, which human power and finite
authority cannot at will attack. In
fiuenced by pagan teachings, parents
have ceased to regard children as the
blessings of marriage. The many re-
actions that have followed the World
War have tended to strengthen evil
tendencies rather than to curb them
Parents are warned to put more
safeguards about their daughters, to
provide legitimate enjoyment, and to
seriously attempt to understand the
natures Of young womanhood and
young manhood.

A Baptist clergyman showed up
a Hoosier state medium at a seance
by the simple expedient of opening
a fashlight on the gathering. The
audience then saw that the supposed
spirit conversation all came from the
managing lady with a trumpet.
4'he good minister did a Christian
act that might almost be classed
with the Gospel one of letting ones

that the light of common sense and
of unprecedented intelligence might
be let in on all the dark doings of
the country in like manner.

RENEE-JuST HAUY, PRIEST AND

who first unlocked to the blind the
realm of literature, and earned for
himself the title Of Apostle of the
Blind"
The former was the Able Renee
Just Haiiy, and the latter his younger
brother, Valentin Haiiy. Their parents
were of humble rank and owed the
education Of their two sons to patrons.
Both the precocious youths were re-
ceived into the abbey school of the
Premonstratensians at Saint Just
(Oise), for the ecclesiastical state.
The elder persevered, but the younger
was led to the pursuit of other studies.
Renee, his theological studies COM
pleted, joined the teaching staff OF
the College of Navarro, and shortly
afterwards was ordained. His mind
gravitated towards scientific studies,
and at first botany absorbed his atten-
ton, a science that necessitates the
keenest observation. 1t was owing to
the development of this faculty and
an accident that crystallography be-
came precise science. Lectures by
lDaubenton on mineralogy awakened
the young Abbe's interest, and he
seized an opportunity of examining the
specimens belonging to a friend. A
beautiful calcareous spar in crystal.
line primatic form slipped from his
hand and was shattered. Gathering
the fragments, his keen eyes noted
that all the broken parts possessed
the same internal nucleus. In a flash
a new science was born! II have found
it all now" he exclaimed. His further
observations led him to the discovery
of the geometrical laws of crystalliza-
ton, for, experimenting on a hexa'
hedral crystal of this substance, he
found that it could be SO dissected by
dividing 1t by planes parallel to GER
tain edges as to exhibit a rhombo
lhedral nucleus, and, further, that the
same result could be obtained from
the mechanical division of every
lcrystal of the same species.
His discovery was epoch-making In
the science of mineralogy, and the
Academy of Sciences rewarded him by
welcoming him among it's members
Haiiy, in his further investigations in
mineralogy, became the discOverel
and pioneer in the development Of
lpyro-electricity His after-career is
full Of adventure and incident. The
French Revolution resulted in his be

CATHOLIC UNITY THE AIM

1t is not the purpose of the National
Council Of Catholic Men to organize
a. supe1-society that will subordinate
or weaken present societies and or
CARNATIONS. These are already prov
en- elements of strength in present
day Catholicism. The aim is, as it
should be, to have them so coordinate
their efforts that the power of each
will be enhanced and SO the summa-
ton of our strength will be multiplied.
|. We have in America today twenty
four national societies of Catholic
men. They number i'm their total
membership but a minority Of our
adult manhood. And of this total of
nominal members it is recognized that
not ten in hundred are active par
Elephants in the affairs of their re-
spective organizations. Often these
societies are struggling towards the
same objective, many of them seeking
to do the same task, while other tasks
of equal or greater importance are un-
touched, awaiting only support for
accomplishment. Surely there is rea-
son for closer coordination of their eff
forts.
And is there a man who would
boast of the achievement of some ia
vorite among these agencies, realizing
as he must that such achievement is
due to the strength of it's numbers
and the singleness Of its purpose, who
will not see the superlative need of a
| farther reaching union of numbers
among these societies themselves in
that singleness of purpose expressed
/; in the words of the councils slogan,
For God and Country"
While prior thought is given to the
groups already organized, full and
tperfect unity cannot be attained with
out embracing within it the otherwise
unorganized majority of our men. Not
only did the Archbishops and Bishops
of America call upon us to perfect
this greater unity, but they directed
us to the Church for our inspiration
and also for the external embodiment
of the answer to our query, sWhat
manner of organization shall we fol
low?'
/ Groups Of Catholic Men.
The body of the Church organized
that is the answer. Could we write
the roll of all the parishes in the
country we would have thereon as
nowhere else, the name OF every Cath
Ollie man in America, the 1000, the
500 and the 10 Catholics, those who
see their full duty and do it for par
ish, Church and state, and those who

The Mems Council calls upon the
men of each parish to band together

as societies. Through the parishes,

cations, are grouped in the larger

may truly be said that every Catholic

But such merely nominal member
ship is desirable only in this that it
affords the means of ultimately reach

year increasing, the day of final
achievement will be brought nearer,
the day when every one of us, inspir.

to full understanding and militant
bearing of the saving message of
truth and justice which the Catholic
Church brings from God to man.

this end, to so manifest our interest
in the public good, then i"our fail
