original building on the university
campus was an outstanding event in
the District OF Columbia and an
epoch in American Catholic Church
history.
Women do a lot Of creditable and
worthy things in this country, just
as much so as do the men, and the
wonder is that they had to wait
until August, 1920, before gaining
their equal rights.
In this connection we do not have
to mention long list of names to
prove what women have done for
America, for this would take us
away from the subject in hand, but
it is part Of the history of the
Catholic University that Miss Mary
Gwendoline Caldwell was the first
to come forward with a gift of $780,
600 that made the ong-cherished
idea of the church a possibility
an idea that was alive in 1866 and
agitated even many years before
that, but which did not receive suf-

They want to learn to read and

They want to learn to read and
write.
On the surface the problem seems
simple; people want to learn to
read and write and the w. P. A.
has the personnel and the Board
Of Education and other cooperating
agencies offer physical facilities.
But the work of the teacher is
just beginning when she finds a
prospective pupil. The majority
OF these pupils are grown men and
women. people who have home ties
and duties or whose livelihood de-
pends upon work that they cannot
leave at will.
Much of their work is physically
exhausting, leaving them with little
energy for any other endeavor.
There are those who are mentally
harassed and depressed because they
have no work at all.
They do not want to be bothered
with book learning"
In other homes the mother or
the father, and sometimes both,
cannot leave home to obtain an
education. There are children to
be taken care of, or invalids, and
other home obligations which can
not be avoided, even for few hours.
So, if the pupil cannot come to
the teacher, the teacher goes to the
pupil. That Is why 225 homes in
Washington, for hours each week
are classrooms. In some of the
homes half a dozen adults meet
with the teacher, day or night, to
learn their A B C's. On succeeding
nights the same class meets in
another nearby home and even the
temporary occupation of small homes
by the classes is rotated. The larg-
est of the home study groups con-
sists of IS men and women.
One class, unable to find suitable
headquarters elsewhere, has pooled
its fund to rent a garage as their
schoolroom, and here, with make
shift materials, earnestly goes about
learning their simple lessons.

According to a sketch Of the uni

century ago and which is believed
to be reliable. it appears that the
establishment Of such a university
that would be worthy in rank with
the noblest and greatest institutions
of the church in ancient and modern
times, and offering to Catholics op-
portunities for broad and compre-
hensive culture for universal edu-
cation, had been the dream of the
most learned of Roman Catholic
clergy and laity for years. The most
conspicuous, earnest and effective
advocates in the early sos were
Bishop John Lancaster Spalding Of
Peoria, Bishop Becker Of Whining
ton, Bishop Chatard and Mr.. John
Gilmarische, layman. and it was
Bishop Spalding who, about 1883,
went to Rome to submit the idea

James H. Caldwell, grandfather
of Mary Gwendoline Caldwell, who
became the Marquise des Monsters

days an actor of high reputation,
and later a successful manager,
builder Of theaters and business
man. He was born in England in
1893 and came to America in 1916,
making his first appearance in
Charleston. In 1917 he managed
a theater in this city. His energy
was prodigious, for he built thea
ter in Petersburg, Va, then went
to New Orleans and, after intro
ducing an English company, he built
the first theater for English per-
formances in Nashville and other
Southern cities, and meantime acted
as stage manager and in leading
