Anniversary of a Great Educator

Brother Edmund Ignatius Rice has been dead one hundred years, This was marked Monday at St. Patrick'S Cathedral tn New York City by a solemn Mass, three thousand students and faculty members of the Christian Brothers of ireland at tending,
 The name of Brother Rice may not mean much to many of our youth, but through him was begun one of the finest systems of education today, Started over one hundred years ago when he saw the great need in his native country, the system, outlined and developed, has been carried on in countries abroad and in this country, especially in the New York area.
 For the past few weeks Catholic news papers and magazines have been deVot- ing space to the life and work of Brother Rice; and to this work as perpetuated by his followers, known as the Christian Brothers of Ireland The discipline, the methods of instilling religion and in- structing in all branches of study, all have made great impression in educa- tional fields for more than a century.
 AS teaching order Brother Rice'S Christian Brothers stand on their record past and present, And today, we read, that there are more than 200 schools, with more than 100000 boys under their direction. It may be said that great strides have been made in the field of education since the time, 1902, when, 1t is said, no Catholic in Ireland was permitted to conduct a school.

Enough's Enough

The aged French physicist George Claude, perfector of neon light, Is report ed to be the inventor of the Nazi robot bomb. We wouldn't put 1t past him, but we'd rather not believe he Is responsible for this, too.
 Having blinked at many streets filled with the garish reds and piercing blues of these sputtering, winklng signs. We have concluded that responsibility for this eye-punishing invention Is about all that the conscience of one mortal man could bear.
