Mount Vernon, March 23,1789. De Witt Clirfton. The fundamental error of Europe has been to confine the light of knowl edge to the wealthy and the great, while the humble and the depressed have been as sedulously excluded from its participation. More just and rational views have been entprtained on this subject in the I: E A A TO Y &SZ? BUSINESS -v —^Jie //ope of fAe C/clZAjd/jC CAzu'cA Efforts of Protestant denominations in various places to secure arrange ments for religious instruction during school hours indicate a wider realiza tion of the inadequacy of present methods. In some cases these efforts take the form of a demand for bible reading in the public schools in others, requests have been made to have children excused from school for certain hours each week in order that they may receive religious instruction. This shows that- a larger number of public school patrons want religious instruction for their children. The methods proposed may be faulty and inadequate but many believe that they would be an improvement on the present system of no religious instruc tion at all in the public schools, says the True Voice. Religion and The Schools. The first method proposed—that of bible reading in the public schools—is objected to as an invasion of the rights of conscience of school patrons who have no religion or who do not accept the version of the bible used in the reading. The method is also prac tically valueless for instilling religion in school children. It cannot give that religious and moral training that is necessary in later life. Yet in spite of these objections many Protestants be lieve in the method and strive to have bible reading introduced in the •schools. Violation of conscience as far as Jews and Catholics are con cerned does not seem to bother them, and they seem to be perfectly satisfied with the weak and vague religious notions that result from imbibing in struction in religion from bible read ing in the schools. But we believe United States. Here no privileged or ders, no factitious distinctions in so ciety, no hereditary nobility, no established religion, no royal preroga tives exist to interpose barriers be tween the people and to create distinct classifications in society. All men being considered as enjoying the equality of rights, the propriety and necessity of dispensing, without dis tinction, the blessings of education fol lowed, of course.—Address on Educa tion before the Public School Society of the City of New York, Dec. 11,1809. THE CHILDREN'S HOUR. (Continued from page 3.) burn more brightly for Him," it said sorrowfully. But it brightened up when it thought that it could at least do its best. After Benediction that evening, the altar-boy (who, by the way, was rather a careless little fel low) put out the lights on the altar but being in somewhat of a hurry, left our little candle turning. How glad it was! "Now, I may perhaps burn all night!" it cried, and ii was right. The people passed out of the church, the priest went home, and no one noticed the little candle. On and on it burned, and sang as it burned. "My life, my love, my all, yes!" it whispered. "I am serving Him during the long watches when no one visits Him!" Then it tried to huddle up even closer to the quiet Tabernacle. During, that night burglars entered the church to rob it of its beautiful gold chalices, and its silver and be jeweled ornaments. There were two of these ruffians, and one, as he put his hand near the Tabernacle, let his sleeve fall into the flame of the little candle. It leaped forward, loyal little watcher, and in a moment the man was screaming with pain. This brought in a watchman from the street, and both men re ceived their just punishment. In the morning the little candle was only a drop of melted wax, and no one knew it had given its last efforts to save the Creator from shame and in sult. TWO PATRIOTIC YANKEES. The Americanism of John and Sophie Baker could not be quenched by British associations nor subdued by British threats. Their story was told by Mrs. Baker several years ago to Washington Long and a poem was written on the subject by Mr. Long's nephew, ex-Governor Long of Massa chusetts. In brief, nearly one hundred years ago a party left Moscow, Som erset county. Among* the party was this intrepid woman. They made the journey of 250 miles through the wil derness with nothing but birch bark canoes upon which to freight their household goods. They settled at what is called Baker's Brook, on the north side of the St. John river, some six miles below Fort Kent. Some years after Mr. Baker's settle ment Mr. Coffin and General' Irish, land agents of Maine and Massa chusetts, visited Mr. Baker, and pre vailed on him to purchase some land of them, saying that "this territory was in dispute between the English and American governments, and they were for having it settled." Says this old lady, continues Mr. Long: "He bought some, and we, being Amer icans, the next summer I made with my own hands an American flag, and the next Fourth of July, with the help of Mr. Walter Powers, we raised it." For this act Mr. Baker was indicted Mfor high treason, carried to Frederic ton, tried, after being imprisoned ten months, condemned, fined $200, and then allowed to go free. And even af ter this, the Provincial authorities still persisted In seizing teams and timber belonging to Baker and other in habitants of the country. He went to V.' *t '2£ THE CATHOLIC BULLETIN, SEPTEMBER 9,1922 'vS»fcr. this method is not, on the whole, growing in favor. The method of imparting religious instruction during hours when the children would be excused from regu lar school work was suggested as a result of overcrowding in the New York city schools. Half-time pupils were given instruction in this way by some churches, and about a year ago it was proposed that the system be adopted generally. After considera tion of the matter the Catholic author ities of New York announced that they were ready to co-operate in the plan— but the Protestant Churches declined on the ground that they were not pre pared. The plan has cropped up in other places—but it has never been tried out thoroughly in any place. Whether it would prove a satisfactory solution of the school problem is very uncertain. But one thing is certain Our Protestant friends are becoming convinced of the need of religious edu cation. Catholics have their own parochial schools wherever possible, and they have reason to be thankful that they have provided this system of religious and secular training. But it must be confessed tnat not one-half the Catholic children of the country are in Catholic schools. What of the remainder? "Would the new method furnish a means of reaching them? Would it be satisfactory for Catholics and a sufficient safeguard of religion? These are questions that should be carefully considered by those who will have to pass upon them soon. For the need of a change is evident. We should be prepared to meet it When it comes. Augusta, Maine, on snowshoes, a dis tance of 250 miles through the woods and informed the governor, who sent a company called the "Civil Posse," and Baker piloted them through the woods to what is now the village of Fort Kent, and made a house for them. This was the commencement of the Aroostook War, which resulted in the establishing of the northeast boundary line between us and the British Provinces. The raising of the Stars and Stripes was thought to be a very disloyal act by Mr. Baker's neighbors, and after he had been taken by the Provincial authorities and carried off, they very naturally concluded that all his prop erty v/as to be confiscated, and they immediately put themselves in posses sion of it. When Mrs. Baker saw this, with that true courage and heroism that carried her through the wilder ness, she armed herself with a broom stick, demanded a return of her cattle and other property to their places, and they obeyed. She commanded them to leave her premises, "that she was not brought up in the woods to be. frightened at owls," and they left. WHAT I OWE MY PARENTS. The following prize essay by a boy in a Catholic high school is of inter est. Many great men, among both those of yesterday and those of today, ascribe their success in life to their parents, especially to their mothers. "All I am and all I ever hope to be I -owe to my mother," are familiar words to the reader of biography. W hen I was a child, thege words seem ed paradoxical to me, but as time goes on I become more and more firmly convinced of their wisdom. I have never known the ennobling influence of a father. Mine was call ed to his eternal reward too early for me to retain any recollections of Irim. Upon my dear mother devolved the resnonsibility of rearing -three small children, of procuring for them the necessaries of life, and of giving them a Catholic education. Needless to say, "they were the times that tried her soul." Patient, persevering lQving, she managed to scrape along and to provide a home for us three boys. Finally, ^owever, we were old enought to attend school and help out a little at home. Now what do I owe to my parents? First and foremost I owe them my existence, which means my oppor tunity to win perpetual happiness. What an overwhelming debt this is! Then again I am indebted to my mother for all those hours of worry, of anguish, of discouragement which she endured all the restless days, the sleepless nights the time which concern over my welfare has cheated her of for, as the beaming candle slowly consumes itself, so does her responsibility slowly wear my moth er. The many, many acts of self-sacri fice and denial which her love for me has prompted, the character building example which, in the face of disheartening and almost insur mountable difficulties, the many, many lessons which I learned at her knee, my health and corporal wel fare, ner divine patience, cheerful ness, her interest in the least thing that concerned me, and, above all, the opportunity for a Catholic education which has cost her so much but which she so willingly gives me— these are debts which cannot be paid. And how can I show my poor ap preciation and gratitude for all that my mother has done for me? There are very few means of returning in even the smallest part fit payment for what she has done. Love, obedience, respect and prayer are the duties of I/l J$zrzesiC2 IS" CatAo/ic? lyc/ioo/s&Jld Cb//e^^Sf -ArcA6jS'Aopfj'€/dJZcL N every child. The best I can do is to endeavor to live and act in accord ance with the image of me which is engraven upon my mother's heart, for, if this were possible, I would be the ideal boy. NEEDED, AN INTERPRETER. All that I wanted, writes a contribu tor, was a spool of white thread. So, although it was my first morning in old Oxford, I set forth on my quest. A person should have nb difficulty in a place where his own language is spoken. Certainly not! Nearing the business district, I stop ped a bright-faced boy and asked him where I \Vould find the nearest dry goods store. "Dry-goods store? Store, ma'm? What now would you wish to store?" "Shop, I mean," I said, correcting my mistake hastily. "Dry-goods shop." "Dry goods? What would dry goods be, ma'am?" 'Why, cloth, of course, and things of that kind. Goods, you know." "Oh, cloth! You would be wanting a draper's shop. Turn to your right at yon corner, and there'll be a draper's." Thanking him, I went on and en tered the draper's shop, which at first glance appeared for all the world like a dry-goods store. I asked for a spool of white thread. 'Thread? Very sorry, madam, but this is a draper's, and thread be had only at a haberdasher's." "But isn't a haberdasher a person who deals in men's furnishings?" "Not in the least, madam. It is a shop of pins, needles, buttons, thread and the like. There is one a bit of a way on." I found the haberdasher's shop, which was merely a notion store. Sure of my ground at last, I asked a rosy English girl for a spool of white thread. She fetched a ladder and climbed to the highest shelf, where after some rummaging she found a ball of cord! "Oh, no," I protested "I wanted thread." "Certainly, ma'am this is thread." "Help!" I almost cried. Then I patiently explained: "What I want is —is something with which to mend, to sew a shirt waist." "Shirt waist? Shirt waist?** The girl pondered. I pointed desperately to the shirt waist that I was wearing. "Oh, blouse!" she cried. "Perhaps what you wish is a reel of cotton." Thereupon she produced, joy be, my coyeted spool of thread! EFFORT. If you have & task to do,, Do it well! In life's reckoning, it is true. Halfway efforts never tell! If you have a song to sing, Sing it out! Humming tunes is not the thing Puts our car king cares to rout! If you have a game to play, Play with might! Hearty romping through the day Brings you sweet repose at night! Lazy ways in everything Better far, forsake! Earnest effort always brings, Blessings in its wake! If the fall flowers are not as sweet as the blossoms of spfring, they are gayer of hue. SI.
