discouraging to find that in the
whole list not one is in accord-

Pope Pius X., and many contain
compositions which have been
specifically condemned by Church
music commissions in several

A mission ia not only a good
thing for Catholiaa but a great

__OF CRIME? ____________ .
One of the
expression in the secular press,
the non-Catholic pulpit and in
school assemblages, ie that the
way to prevent crime and make
the people more moral and up-
right is to found schools and col-
leges and endow Ahem with the
best and latest davicefl and equip-,
ments that money can command,
I and the next thing is, to supply
I these institutions of learning with j crejjt
Easter: cultured men And women as pro-1-- ■
fesBors and teachers. All over
these United States the gospel of
education is being preached and
money and means are being pro-
vided with lavish generosity to
accomplish the end in view. Uni-
versities and colleges are being
supplied with the richest of en-
dowments and students are being
attracted to them by the promise
that they will there receive an
education fitting them to enter
into any occupation. Public
schools are being constantly pro-
vided for the lowest and most
humble of the people’s children,
so that it may not be said that
any child shall be illiterate. Spe-
cial taxes are being levied and
paid most cheerfully to build and
equip the finest of school houses
in the various centres of popula-
tion, and it is the boast of pro- ,
fessional educators, in charge of j!
the State system of education, ■
that the best and most beautiful :
structures in any town or city
should be the establishments
[ where State education is supplied
free.
It has been asserted and reit-
erated so often that the remedy
for crime, or rather the preven-
tive of crime, is education, such
as is furnished by the State in-
1 stitutiona, that it seems almost
heretical to question the state-
, ment. It has been taken for
granted so frequently as to be-
come axiomatic that illiteracy is
one of the greatest of social dis-
* orders, and that no community
can possibly be advanced in any
way where illiteracy prevails to a

that many Catholics, who never

special taxes to further extend
the system.

in regard to educational matters

illiteracy is not the cause ^of
to be perfectly abiurd. We will
tak* only one instance of a peo-
ple who at one time were illiter-
ate, through no fault of their
own, but who were, at th® *ame
time, thoroughly good and
virtuous and of a high type of
manhood and womanhood. We
refer to the Irish people who,.-
through the penal law., were i mirante U a
deprived of educational
unless they agreed to forsake on® to see a
their faith, and who, to L.™ (
to it said, preferred to be
illiterate rather than to give up
; their religion. These people were
singularly free from crime all
through their sad experience
with their ruthless conquerors, so
' much .o as to excite the admira-
‘ tion of the world. If want of the
knowledge and ability to read
and write bad as a natural con-
’ sequence the effect of leading
! to crime, we would expect to
‘ find that the Irish would be
among the moat criminal people
of the world, at least that portion
of the race who clung to the
Catholic faith through the ages
of persecution. That the con-
trary was the fact shows that
illiteracy does not of itself lead
to crime, the advocates of the
State system of education to the
contrary notwithatanding.
That secular education does
not of itself produce virtuous
men and women will require but
little argument. Take the Ro-
mans and the Greeks in the hey-
day of their history and you will
find that they were the most
highly cultured people in the
world, and yet these ancient
peoples were most corrupt and
vicious, and even depraved. We
need not go into details on this
subject. Coming to modern
times the most woful and dis-
graceful peg® ot history ia what
is known as the Reign of Terror,
and who were the prime movers
in that saturnalia of crime, best-
iality and savagery? The Dan-
tone, Marats and Robespierres,
men of education and even of re-
finement. Who were the leading
