CATHOLICS AND DARWIN

to put it technically, the question of 'infallibility" is not involved. Over these, having regard to their impor- tance, it is desirable that much time should be taken for consideration, so that no mistake may be made, for subsequent rectificadon may be a lengthy business. Take the case of Calico. Huxley said that in his opin- ion the Pope and the Cardinals had the best of it, but all Catholic opin- ion holds that a mistake was made. It was a unique mistake, and it had nothing to say to infallibility, as all admit, but it took a long time to get it put right.
 Not Sufficient Data on Evolution.
 The church is not likely to take up an attitude until there are data to go upon, data of indisputable character. Are there such as to evolution? No one can claim that there are. It is now some sixteen years since I had the pleasure of reading for the first time for review purposes Professor kel- logs excellent 'Darwinism Today" and I have been constantly referring to it ever since, for it is a mine of information. He tells us there that "amongst biologists confusion reigns" and, if that was true sixteen years ago it is much more so today.
 If there is no official attitude to- ward this question, are there no in dications of opinion? Certainly: That question c&u be answered in the af- Let us COnSlQeG IIllS mat ter little more closely.

ta attors. The matter may be summed up Ky saying that if and when the state oi science is in such a position as to establish the fact Of evolution either on limited or unlimited lines there most surely will be nothing in any attitude so far taken up by the church to render acceptance of the view impossible or even difficult Nay, more: it will be found that it has been accepted in advance as a perfectly possibIe-many would say highly probable-method of creation.
 Is the establishment of the theory near at hand It must be confessed that no certain answer can be given to this question
 A quarter of 2 century ago, before the Mend elian pebble had been thrown into the bic lc glcal pool and caused so much disturbance of the waters, a much more confident reply might have been given As it is. it seems to me that if the theories put for ward by Bateson and other prophets of Mendelism are true, most of the Darwinian doctrine, including natur- al selection, the inheritance of ac- uuired conditions (without which there can be no evolution, so Herbert Spencer urged) and a number of other things, go by the board Which tends to prove that perhaps it is wiser than at first might have been thought for the Catholic church to have taken up no. corporate or off, cial attitude as to the question oi evolution so far.

The education of the people of the Southern mountains, in the opinion of Dr. Winship, has ceased to be a local problem and has become the duty of the nation, and his belief is concurred in by Secretary of the In terior Albert B. Fall, who recently accepted a position on the National Board of Advisers for Lincoln Me mOriaI University.
 "Education is Antidote."
 ''Education is the antidote for Bol- shevism and if afforded to the noun taineers of the Southern Appalachians will prevent their ever bringing to pass a situation such as the country s facing in the present coal strike '' Secretary Fall told representatives of the university when he accepted the advisory position.
 "I know all about your problem down there. I taught school myself in Kentucky and also lived in Ten nessee. One day a little girl came to my school bringing an old alman- ac and telling me that Paw said she could learn to read and write out of that and that was all the school books she needed.
 'sThey need education," Fall de- clared. .'This is not a local prob lem or obligation. It is a national matter. If we are to have good citi- zens we must educate those who are to be our citizens"

 million illiterate persons in the noun tain fastnesses of the Appalachian region who have never come under the influence of present-day civiliza- tfon, who are un-Americanized be- cause they have been denied the ad- vantages of education, and who therefore are susceptible targets for the Bolshevistic propaganda which is world, according to Dr. A. F. Win ship, editor of the Boston Journal Uf Education.
 Declaring that education is the only means by which Bolshevism canbe exterminated, Dr. Winship re- gently asserted that nowhere in America will a little effort show such results as among these mountaineers."
 "NobIe IlIiterates."
 ''But," he added, these people can never be reached from without they must be reached by the leader ship of the kinsfolk. The only sal vation for the noble illiterates of the three million mountaineers comes from the influence of the sons and daughters who have gotten their wis ion from attendance upon the insti- tutions within their border.
 ''It is history that the loyalty of the men of this section in the critical hour of the Civil War saved the Union and that their sons, standing as a bu1wark against the enemy, ac- complished the great achievement of the World War, for it was the Thir- tieth Division, composed largely of mountain boys from this very section. that broke the Hindenburg line.
 "Education is the only means of steadying these millions of moun- taineers when the hurricane of Bo1- shevism threatens to wreck the loy- atty of the men who saved the Union in the sixties and broke the linden burg line in 191S."

 What is the attitude of the Catholic church toward the question of evo- 1ution? It is the question which I am that the Catholic church is the only great religious organization, of a Christian character at any rate, with the almost negligible exception at the moment of the Greek church, which has such an organization as enables 1t to have or not have an attitude to- ward any matter, and to make it clear beyond cavtl as to what that attitude is. This is @ statement of fact and nos an argument in favor of that par ticular form of organization. There are persons today who refuse to be hampered in their speculations by the ordinary scientific opinion as to the shape of the earth being more or less spherical. They desire perfect free dom of thought in these matters, just as others do on religious questions. There are others again who think it safe. after having taken pains to as certain the credentials of those whom they are going to listen to, to defer to the opinions of men who know more than they do about science on the one hand or religion on the other.
 Let it be conceded, then that the Catholic Church can have and make clear a corporate attitude toward evo- 1utiOn. What is that attitude, if any? The answer is brief and clear. The church has taken up no definite cor porate attitude toward evolution.
 Is it not strange that it should not have done so in connection with matter so much debated? Not in the least, when due consideration is had to the state of the case The "atti- tudes" or dogmatic pronounceme ents of the body in questions are of two fold character.
 1. There are dogmatio pronounce neuts relating to faith and morals and to nothing else, very rarely made. but, when made, binding upon the consciences of all desiring to remain in connection with the church. We present inquiry.

D. A. R. Aids Lincoln U University In
 Fight On Mountaineers' Hliteracy
SBy International News service.)

fBy International News service.)
 Washington, April 2S - One of the most interesting features Of the Con tinental Congress of the Daughters of the American Revolution will be the presentation of a building to the Lincoln Mem orial University at Cum berland Gap, Tenn, an institution dedicaed to the Great Emancipator, who inspired it's founding.
 The pathOs of the struggles of the mountain boys and girls Who are it's students and the picturesque back ground of their primitive homes will be extremely interesting to the Daughters of the American Revolu- ton for several reasons.
 The newest and one of the most imposing buildings on the campus or the institution is the Tennessee D. A. R. hall, a dormitory for boys erected during the past year by the Tennes- see Daughters. Five of the nation al officers of the D. A R. are mem bers of the Woman's Advisory Board of the school.
 Located almost on the tri-State line of Virginia, Kentucky and Ten nessee, near the historic little town of Cumberland Gap, where one of the famous battles of the Civil War was fought, and lying in the midst of a little valley surrounded by majestic mountains, Lincoln Memorial Uni versity enjoys one of the most pie turesque settings of any school in the Southland.
 
 The region is rich in pioneer his tory, and among the several land marks of interest near the school is the Boone trail marker placed by the Tennessee, North Carolina, Virginia and Kentucky Daughters of the Amer jean Revolution,
 Beginning in the basement rooms of an old church In Cumberland Gap. the school has grown to a campus and farm of more than roc acres and ,% h. T1S-sarO q acres, with a number of beautiful buildings, and today it boasts of an enrolment of 750 students.
 More than 70 per cent. of the stu dent body of the university depend entirely or partly upon the work they do to pay for their board and books. Thirstine for the education at which their forefathers sneered anu for the knowledge of accomplishing daily tasks by mod dern-day methods instead of the primitive ways which still are in vogue among the il1iterate noun taineers, many of the mountain boys and girls forsake their ramshacllle homes, walk for miles carrying their little al" tied up in a handkerchief or in the old-fashioned telescope" and present themselves at the school without a penny, announcing simply that they "have come."
 Has Big Curriculum.
 All the regular subjects from kin dergarten through college courses are taught, and in addition the school provides training in carpentry, en- gineering' dairying. horticulture. spinning. sewing, laundry, poultry raising, gardening music and art. Not only are the students taught these for the work they do in these lines. and when they leave school their minds are trained to think to think can be exterlninated. Dr. Winship re-

FINAL STANDARD
WIN IN RENT CASE
Experts Figure Huge Saving
for Company in Court of
Appeals Decision.

BY decision of the Court OF AppdAls
the Standard Oil Company is upheld In
a contention that it is not required 10
pay in advance to Elmer 4. Smathers
the rent on property at No. " broad-
way. The annual rental is $s50,0o0 and
the lease Is for ninety-nine years.
The Importance of this decision lies
in the fact that the quarterly INSTALL
ments OF rent for almost century
will remain I'm possession OF the Stand
ard Oil Company instead of having TO
be paid in advance to Mr.. Smathers or
his heirs Experts stated yesterday that
this meant a saving to the STANDARD
Oil Company of Vat east $S1 80 and
ranging from that up to many millions.
One Of the expert accountants figured
it out that by not having to pay the
$62,500 quarterly rental in advance the
oil people had really made upward OF
$82.500 quarterly installment compound
ed at per cent. interest annually for the
entire period of ninety-nine years would
amount at the expiration OF the lease TO
$40. 1897. There was some question
among the experts regarding Just where
to start and end in their figures.
1t was claimed in behalf of Mr..
Sma Tiers that the original lease pro-
vided that the rent should be paid i'll
advance. A copy OF what purporteo 10
be the original lease was offered in
evidence and so provided. But that
provision was not contained in the draft
of the lease as signed.
Action was brought by Mr.. Sma theirs
to compel payment in advance. His
contention was sustained by Justice Guy
In the Supreme Court, but that decision
was reversed in the Appellate Division
and now the reversal is upheld in the
Court of Appeals.
John Woodward, former Judge of the
Court of Appeals. argued the case Tor
the Standard Oil and Carruther Ewing
for Mr. Smathers.
The court holds that instead OF pay
ing in advance the oil company is 70
pay at the end Of each quarter. The
company. therefore. win have the use
OF the rent money for each of the quar-
ters throughout the full period OF the
ninety-nine year lease.
