The Civil War had been
over about 10 years when
William Tecumseh Sherman
Mullinx, a slim lad of 16,
joined 10 other Montgomery
County youths and formed
the Browningsville Cornet
Band.
Now 81 years old and still in
possession of all his faculties,
Mullinix is the only survivor
of those charter members of
the Band.
He was honored last Saturday
night when the Band noted its
18th anniversary with a ban.
quet at the Damascus High
School.
Sherman Mullinix, as he is
now known, was named by his
Union Soldier father for Civil
War Union General William
Tecumseh Sherman.
Young Mullinix knew how to
play the piccolo so he was a
natural for the Cornet Band
when it began practicing in the
Jacobs machine and paint shop
in Browningsville. The leader
of the band was William A,
Walker, then only II, but the
accomplished son of music pro
lessor George Wesley Walker.
Although Sherman MulliniN
was to leave the Browningsville
Band after a few years to play
clarinet with the Kings Select
and Cornet Bands, the Brown
ingsville Band continued play
ing for church suppers, socials
parades, fairs, etc.
Mullinix, however, stopped
playing about rs years ago. He

who have both won their first
two games and the Midget

blasted three hits himself that
included a pair of two-baggers.
In other Junior League play,
third-place Yankees pulled them
selves together to come from be-
hind (11-2) and win a close one
from the fourth-place Cardinals,
12-11. Douglas Davis was the
winning pitcher.

Since we have become so

fostering and directing this
growth. Formerly men learned
to form new concepts without
being fully conscious that this
was what they were doing.
Medieval logicians devised a
logic which was a marked adj.

to have been explicitly aware

his teacher knows. There is
no way of keeping abreast of
things by standing still. One
must continue TO learn or one
falls behind.
Is this increase of knowledge
good? Certainly it is. 1t rep
resents an increase in the
spiritual component of our
universe, for full human
knowledge is the work of the
intellect, which is a faculty
of our spiritual soul. Since
understanding is a spiritual
activity, as man comes to I'M
derstand more of the world
around him, the spiritual
comes more into control of
the material-Which, of itself,
is good for the spiritual and
the material both, because the
material world exists to be
ruled by intellect.
DANGER
But is the increase OF
knowledge also dangerous? In
mans hands it is. A great
many good things involve dan
ger. Every time God creates
a new human soul, the posi-.
bilities for evil increased. Ev-
cry time we teach in a religion
class the difference between
a good and an evil act, the
possibilities for evil are in
creased. But so are the pos
sibilities for good.
And as Catholics we know
that the battle between the
forces of evil and good is one.
sided. It is weighted in favor
of the good.
The victory over evil has
had TO be won by Our Lord
on the cross, but the cross has
marked a final victory, not a
final defeat. Although all the
skirmishes in this already de-
cided war are by no means
over with in our hearts or on
earth, this is still Gods uni
verse, not Satan's. And thus
the creation of a new human
soul is His work, and good.
The explanation of the differ
ence between good and evil
in His work, and good. And
the advance of knowledge, a
spiritual advance, is His work
and good.
Here is the basis of the
challenge always TO improve
Catholic education. We are not
educators who wish merely TO
keep up with others or mere
ly TO sUrpass them. These are
venaI motives, Second-rate.
They suggest that we r
normally the victims of q sIoth
out of which we are moved
only by jealousy or envy.
Catholic education must be
good education, must move
ahead, must be interested IN
research and discovery for
positive reasons. because
knowledge is a spiritual good,
its increase is a spiritual good
and evidently intended by
God. We want TO advance and
perfect knowledge because we
are on His side, because we
are subject to Him, and be-
cause He cannot want us to
be Indifferent about some
thing which is a positive good
and which lies, under His
grace, in our power.
