IRISH TO MAKE GAELIC COMPULSORY IN SCHOOLS Fight to Revive Ancient Language of People of Emer ald Isle DUBLIN, July 30.—Addressing a crowded audience at the closing 1 ot Boyle Fois, Dr. MacHenri, who first spoke in Irish and then in English, referred to the recent decision of the senate in the National university making Irish a compulsory subject for matriculation in 1913. He said that decision gave great joy to the people of Ireland, and that the senate, presided over by Its illustrious chan cellor, was to be congratulated on the wisdom and patriotism it displayed in ■ 1 i-iiilijijr by such a sweeping majority to rarry out the clearly expressed wishes of the nation. "For two years," said Dr. MacHenri, "tho Gaelic league had waged an almost superhuman fight against tremendous adds, so that for long- the fight seemed to many almost forlorn hope, but the league had confidence that the heart of tho country was sound, and that it only needed rousing to fret the people to make one last grand stand for the na tional language and for nationality." He Raid special thanks were due to the county councils and other public, bodies whose decisive influence brought about the happy result. It was thn greatest blow struck for hundreds of yi ars for the Irish language, and the significance of the blow is shown hy tho hypocritical shrieking of the Lon don Times. Tin 1 practical outcome of this tro raendoua change would be that at lei I every Catholic school in Ireland, si ondary and primary, wished to !<r p thi Ir places in the educational ra Any schools, he said, not teaching Irish would thereby cut off their pu pils from all chance of gaining- it of the valuable prizes to bo offVi for competition by the county eoun Oils, A really national university, wltl all the schools following it, \ probably make all Ireland again I ■peaking in fifty years. As the !i is now over, all bitter memories should be set aside, and al should work for the success of the National univeral The greatest foreign scholar-, .i*' AlacHenri, were united In saying i tha iri.sh language wag unsurpi is an instrument of education. Hut was not for linguistic or uducat reasons alone that they wished to n serve their language: it was b^ it was their own—the tongue \ God bestowed upon them, and which was the great bulwark to preserve their separate identity as a n "Let the language die," said Dr. M Henri, "and It is only a question of time when Ireland as a nation will fol low it to the grave." He said the Irish Ireland movement was reviving manu factures, promottng temperance and bringing back the vanishing music and customs of the fcountry. 5
