{. u. Brings Out New
Cafechism After 5
Years Of Work
Cardinal Gosporri's
Work Revised; Presented
In Three Books

Representing more than five years
Of labor, new catechism, ""CatAolic
Faith" has just been issued by
Catholic University in Shook
series.
The Rev. Felix M. Kirsch, o. M.
Cap. member of the Department
of Religious Education of the uni
versity, served as the theological
editor, and Sister M Brendan, COM
menity supervisor Of the sisters
servants of the Immaculate Heart
Of Mary acted as pedagogical editor.
In the autumn of 1888 the uni
versity decided to bring out a re-
vision of Cardinal Gasparri's Ca
tholic Catechism," under the general
supervision of the rector After the
appointment of FIR. Kirsch and
Sister Brendan, large number of
theologians and teachers in various
parts of the country and students
IN the graduate classes in religion at
the university were organized into
a working committee which COLA
borated in the task of adaptation
throughout the years 1934-39.
Cardinal GaSparri's book has been
approved for use throughout the
Catholic world and in using it the
university committee has acted in
accordance with the wishes of the
Holy See that it be considered as
the basic text for Catholic Faith.

Alvin A. Ehrlich, graduate Of
Roosevelt High School, will receive
the bachelor of commercial science
degree with highest distinction" at

cises OF Strayer College, according
to E. G. Purvis, vice president.
Mr.. Ehrlich has been student In

While a student at Roosevelt, he
was active in the dramatic club and

ployment and enrolled in Strayer

first years attendance he was elect
ed to membership in Sigma Eta
Sigma, Strayer honor society. For
the past 21z years he has been en-
ployed by an express company.
DR.. H. c. Byrd, president of the
University Of Maryland, will be the

Cardinal Gasparri himself had de-
clared that any individual bishop
might feel free ito amplify the ma
terial or to cut it down as he sees
fit." His eminence also suggested
that teachers in instructing "the
children should add explanations of
the doctrines, stories from the Bible,
or devotional comments" FIR.
Kirsch and Sister Brendan, together
with their committee, followed these
instructions and have prepared
three books which are particularly
adapted to the use of pupils in
Catholic parochial schools in the
United States.
Books Graded for Ages.
In the series, Book I Is intended
for the primary grades; Book II for
the intermediate grades: while Book
III is intended for use in the upper
grades of Catholic elementary
schools, as well as for the advanced
instruction of Catholic children
attending public schools. Expert
ments with Book III have been
made with adult groups as the basis
of study in discussion clubs with
marked success. Priests, who have
been cooperating with the COM
mittee during the past five years in
the selection and preparation of the
texts, as well as using the material
In their work, have found this VOL
ume of help in instructing converts
as well as in preparing sermons and
catechetical instruction.
FIR. Kirsch reports that the Rev.
John LauX, the author of several
excellent books on religion, wrote
in a recent issue of the Ecclesiastical
Review, the authors of Catholic
Faith have placed all teachers of
religion in their debt for their
eminently satisfactory solution of
the vexed catechism problem" The
Month of London, according to Fr
Kirsch, says In every way this
catechism is superior to any of its
predecessors" Catholic Faith
represents a complete departure
from all previous catechisms in use
throughout the United States. In
the arrangement of the text and
the addition of teaching aids as
well as in the illustrations pertinent
to the subject matter and typo
graphical arrangement, 1t bears no
resemblance to the earlier books
in this field.
Submitted for Criticism.
The original manuscript of Cardi-
nal Gasparri's Catholic Catechism
was revised by a special body of the
consultors of the congregation of
the council under the presidency of
the cardinal prefect. 1t was then
submitted for criticism to several
professors of theology in Catholic
universities, and also to the Gregor-
ian University under the Jesuit
Fathers, the Dominican College An
gelico, the Roman Seminary, the
Pontificial Institute for Oriental
Studies, and the Urban College for
the Propagation of the Faith.
With this background and the five
years of labor by teachers of re-
ligion in Catholic schools through
out the United States, this new and
authoritative text, issued under the
auspices of the Catholic University
has become, perhaps a contribution
of the Washington institutions Year
Of Golden Jubilee to the Catholic
youth of America. It is also one OF
the first books to be issued under
the seal of the newly established
Catholic University Press.

Mrs. Mary Parker Has BIozed
Trail of Women's First
Our country's Flag
Spreads Reputation
As Composer
BY JESSIE FAINT EVANS,

A Trail or pioneer nrStS" mas been
blazed by Mrs. Mary Sitz Parker
during her long life, so years of
which have been spent in Wash
ington.
On July 4, Mrs. Parker had a
birthday, but she isn't telling any
one Just how many years it totaled,
on the theory that, youth is
state of mind, not time of life"
Rated as one Of our city's four
leading woman composers, Mrs.
Parker, who is a graduate OF the
Royal Conservatory of Music at
Leipzig, Germany, is the author of
the words and music of "Our Coun-
try's Flag" The first flag song
written by woman to be sung in
the Amphitheater of Arlington Ma
tional Cemetery, 1t also enjoys the
distinction of being the first song
to be broadcast from there by radio
when it was sung by Mrs. Viola
Schippert Klinge to the accom-
paniment of the United States
Marine Band.
For her contribution to patriotic
ideals as the author of Our Coun-
try's Flag" Mrs. Parker was the re-
cipient of medal and a letter of
thanks from the United States Flag
Association.
Upon its merits as poem, "Our
Country's Flag" is included in the
collection, "A Caravel of Verse"
Began "Firsts" Early.
In the course of my interview with
Mrs. Parker at 3718 Ingomar street
NV, where she now makes her
home with her married daughter,
Mrs. Percy Grady, I discovered she
began her accumulation of "firsts"
during her school days as Mary Sitz.
While student at the Pittsburgh
Female College in her native State
OF Pennsylvania, she was not only
the schools commencement soloist
at the time of her graduation, but
the first member of its student body
to receive an honor grade above 95
in all of her studies.
Other distinctions quickly followed
at the famous old world musical
conservatory in Leipzig, founded by
the great composer, Mendelssohn
Here she was signalled out to be
presented to List and selected as
the only American girl to sing before
the King of Saxony, upon the oc-
caslon OF his visit to the institution.
In addition to her musical studies
abroad, she also became the foreign
correspondent for various American
newspapers and musical journals,
She remembers vividly in connection
with Danzig's present plight, a press
letter which she wrote home from
a holiday visit there, and Of her
opinion that although it was SUD-
posedly "free city," it was neverthe-
less beset from all sides with inter-
national complications.
Her first trip to Washington was
as a bride in June, 1889. Her hus-
ban, who had been the editor of a
Kansas newspaper, had been ap-
pointed to a Government position
here.

Dear Mr.. DeSchon:
Yves very much interested in the
article on the Spokane Gas Line
in your June 10, 1889, Edition
Now that Alberta Basin Oil has
already broken West of the Rock
les. viz, the refineries at Spokane,
and now that gas is to follow suit,
feel that it will not be long until
both of these reach tidewater at
Pacific Northwest Ports.
We will see very soon that my
articles in the Spokane Chronicle
of August &c, 1888, reprinted in
your paper on Sept. 3, 1898, to-
gether with my article in the Bel
lingham Herald of Nov. 10, 1888,
reprinted in your paper on Nov. 10,
1888, were very prophetic and time
ly.
Alberta Basin Gas and Oil and
Pacific Northwest needs fit togeth-
er like a hand to a glove. AS to
tue liHduCiuB VI SSLeAi6 thSSS wv
together: RFC will put up 500 of
the money for Oil and Gas pipe
lines. and, If Canada and Vancouv-
er are brought into the picture, to
get gas and oil to British Column
bia, most probably, the Canadians
would put up the other 20% of the
money, with the result that Mon
tana and the state of Washington
would each accomplish their ends,
with no cash outlay.
At any rate, this is something
to challenge the imagination.
Very truly yours,
