JRE the committee having the subject in arge, and before the Board of Supervisors as 2 whole le evidence has been given at T sustain the proposition that in the g the 1 of fences used for poses the limit should be fixed at a ten feet. A sufficient evidence submitted before the board met the postponement of act week has not resulted in bringing 1-exceed be on upon v :argumeat or any testimony of counter- weight on the otk de. ns to fences of excessive height are plzce, no matter how well they the; I.to the value of @ are unsightly and detri- 1ing property, and in the tructed, s€ ace they nearly always badly constructed and therefore dangerous, being liable to, fall of their own weight or ta:be blown down by the wind upon per s i g ng the streets, TI'he issue s one which has long engaged the aitea- tion ‘of thoughtful pecple in all parts of the United States. Advertising, like anything else, is useful and beneficial when i1n the right place, but - a nuisance when in the wrong place. The practice of displaying 1 posters -of all sorts along walls and fences has arried to $uch an extent in the more thickly rts of the-country as to arouse a spirit of re- nch in many localities has enforced reform. San Francisto has now to grapple with the evil. It is recognized by -all that some restrictions must be placed upon the practice, and those who seek to have advertising -fences limited to a height of ten feet and Kept off the principal stieets of the city are not asking any teo much-for the public welfare. In a city <o exposed to high winds as is San Fran- cisco the danger from high and frail fences along the sidewalks is vdys smminent, and there have- been wmany -instances 6f such fences tumbling down upon the streets éven when the wind was not above the no. ty. Against that danger it is the duty of the municipal authorities to guard, and if they dre to:tolerate such offenses in the city at all they <hould -at Jeast limit them to ten feet in height 1 thus. prevent: them being a menace as well as a force and wvel Tuisalce. The interests ' citizens whose property is injured lots by -hugé advertising fences on -adjoining are hardly less mmportant than those 6f the community at large. -1t:9s 4 maxim of our law that no man has a right to use his property in such a manner as to dam- age-that of another. - The high: advertising fence is a serivus damage to 1o inconsiderable number of property-owners, and the sufferers have a right to 1gok for protection to the mumicipal authorities. " Action which was postponed on Monday ought to be tzken at the next meeting of the board. The issue 1 ar..and all the argument has been heard. Under reumistances should there be permitted within the city any advertising fences exceeding ten feet in height, 2nd even those chould be excluded from the main thoroughfares. Tt is said Bryan has announced a willingness to let New York riame kis running mate this year, provided 1he Democrats of the State agree in making the se- ertion, and it is safe to say that if there be anything Jore that Tammany wishes just now. short of writing he platform and naming the Presidential candidate, yan will consent without blushing. 1i the present complications in China and the ri- 2 rv_between !}ussia and Japan are arranged and sertled without ‘recourse to war, the world will be- gin to believe Salisbury was right in saying the “con- cert of Europe” is something .more than a name. In fact, if the concert keep the peace for another year it may be said to beat the band. There is something significant in the change which the British made in the name of Orange Free State when Lord Roberts annexed it. It is now to be known as Orange River State. - It is no longer free. Mr. Hearst's paper in this city announces that he has been suggested as a-good man for the Democrats hoping he may get it. - : : : TAMMANY'S CHOICE. ITH much ceremony, form and conjuring, and W also with oaths taken on the point of its knife ! and the edge of its tommyhawk, Tammany has | sworn to support none other than Bryan, and, for- aking all others, to cleave unto him until defeat does them part. For a time it was supposed that Mr.. Croker | “leered” elsewhere for a candidate. After he grasped control of Greater New York, with Judge Van Wyck acting as his proxy, he showed signs of fondness for the other Van Wyck 2s a Presidential nominge. "It said that he went so far conference, of last August, a sort of coming out brother, and started from his | horse barn, somewhere in Kent, to reach the meeting and introduce the coy debutante. But he was met down the bay by a party of Tammany braves, who said something to him with a freshly baited breath, and Croker, King of New York, walked down the gangplank shouting for Bryan. The gonference at Saratoga lost its strength quicker than if it had over- party for his proxy used the mild aperient waters of that resort, and the | members fared homeward, marveling why they had | It is said that the message | been called out at all. which changed Croker was to the effect t Van Wyck government of New York is abxuz all of the Van Wyckedness that the country can stand at one time, and it was not politic to fatigue the whole family with the cares of government. | Since then Croker and Bryin have chummed, and the wily Tammany leader is convinced that he can | run the Federal Government by proxy as well as that of New York, and that Bryan is the man. So Tam- many, with uplifted hand, has sworn that it will true allegiance bear to the Populist nominee and all his wor One of the big chiefs, Mr. Coogan, a red man from Tipperary, has offered to stake the combination in | the sum of $100,000, good and lawful money won in New York politics, to be doubled in Federal politics if Bryan is elected. Sweet peace reigns in the party counci Tammany is appeased, and at one with 16 | to 1, and putting up rioney on it like a man. The situation suggests reminiscence and retrospec- at the tion. Since the war no Democratic candidate sup- | ported by Tammany has prospered. That or- ganization backed McClellan and he was beaten. It secured the nomination of Seymour, and he was re- jected. Tt shouted for Greeley, and he was beaten and died mad. him tooth and claw. At St. Louis in the national convention of that year John Kelly, then chief of Tam- tested every inch of ground with len’s supporters. He poured out the vials of Tam- ; wrath on the Governor’s head and never surren- The result was a large popular majority for any, stubbornly cc | dered. Tilden, and so near an electoral majority that Con- | gress had to devise novel machinery and rather tog novel methods to find a majority for Hayes. In 180 Tammany turned up at Cincinnati shouting for Han- went glimmering, a beloved ghost, into the land of political spirits. In 184, at Chicago, Tam- many tore out its own scalplock, soaked its war- painted body in sour mash, chewed tobacco d swallowed the chaw, in fighting Cleveland, and when Tron Brigade Bragg of Wisconsin looked at the gang cock, who and cried out, enemies he has made,” the applause rang from ocean to ocean, but Tammany would have given hali its treasury for a chance to burn the speaker at the stake. It fought Cleveland through the campaign and he was elected. It fought him again in 1888 and beat him by treachery in New York, and in 1892 it put Bourke Cockran forward to fight him again, and fight he did until 3 o’clock in the morning, when the con- vention nominated the ex-President on the first bal- lot and the country elected him on the second. In 1806 Tammany split its seasoned throat in war whoops for B n, and all the Democratic States within reach went for McKinley. So it ‘has passed into a tradition that Tammany shall not elect a President of the United States and inoculate the Federal Government with the fetid in- firmities that have made New York a political stink- | pot all over the world. No one will grudge Congress a.right to adjoura now and get away from the heat of Washington, but at the same time the country will expeect the states- men to remember to make up at the next session what was left undone in this one. The Nicaragua canal bill, the merchant marine bill and a revision of the war tax come very near being emergency meastires and should not be left for the next Congress to deal with. INTERESTING QUESTION. { AN t MONG the news items of yvesterday was one /\ which began in this way: “Like a Peri at the gate, General Otis is waiting to get into the country. He may be allowed to land in one or two days, but it is more than probable it will be Sunday or Monday before he leaves the transport. Much depends on how long it takes the General to ‘take,’ for until his vaccination shows signs of doing busi- ness he will hz to remain a passenger on the Mead=. It may be, however, that the General is immune, for vaccination is as common to an army officer in the Philippines as a Sunday dinner, and in that case if he run over time he will be let go anyway. So the problem of the General's landing is somewhat patho- logical.” ! Among the news items of the 1oth of last ‘October was one that began thus: “Alfred Gwynne Vander- bilt, younger son of the late Cornelius Vanderbilt, stopped on his tour around the world by the news of the death of his father, arrived in San Francisco har- bor yesterday afternoon on board the steamer City of Peking. Almost before the quarantine and cus- toms officers had completed their duties and before the vessel had reached her dock the heir to most of his father’s millions was whisked on a tug by waiting friends, carried across the bay to Oakland mole, con- ducted to a palatial special car and guarded from in- trusion until he was started eastward at the end of the overland.” . | The two stories present an interesting question con- cerning the flexibility of quarantine regulations in the hands of officials strong enough to bend them. Otis ' is an officer of the United States, holding the rank of Major General, and is now on his way from the field of his service in Manila to confer with the President upon the military situation there. He arrives at this | port apd finds the quarantine law absolutely rigid. | The quatantine officer is unbending. He bows not to | the rank and dignity of a Major General nor con- cerns himself with the urgency of military matters. . The General has to wait, and while he is waiting a | yellow journal of the city caricatures him in a coarse | cartoon marked “Quarantined.” Young Vanderbilt is a private citizen, who bas rendered no service to lghe country and is not expected to render any. He \‘arrives at this port and the law droops before him.

The question is, why should @ it et O enfeenfe e MRS | | | | | there be so much rigor in one case and such easy yielding in the other? There are countries in the world where private citi- zens are compelled to wait in fear and trembling be- fore the officers of the law while military dignitaries stalk along unchecked. We do things differently in San Francisco. Here the private citizen receives the honor of a submission on the part of the law, while | the Major General is treated without any distinction whatever. Instead of a tug and a special car to speed him on his journey, he gets a vaccination and an order to stand aside and wait. Just why these things should be so is doubtless capable of an easy explanation, but we shall not at- tempt it. Suffice it to say the people of the United States have a cordial welcome for the General who | has directed our armies and upheld the cause and the fag of the country in the Philippines, and it behooves San Francisco, through her -officials and her repre- sentative bodies, to make that welcome manifest here | at the gateway of the republic. General Otis has served the nation with fidelity and with honor, and merits every mark of consideration that can be given him. e e e THE CITIZENS AND THE CENSUS. O far as lies in his power every citizen of San Francisco should aid the census officials in ob- taining a prompt and thoroughly comprehen- sive count of the population of the city, and such to compile. To any particular individual it may ap- pear a matter of little moment whether he be included ir the enumeration or not, but a moment’s intelligent reflection upon the subject will show that such appear- B A = On the fAttitude of State Upiversity. By Rev. Peter C. Yorke. i No. 2—1In this series of three articles written specially for The Call, the pastor . of St. Peter’s parish deve ops (he ardument on education made before the gradwates of St. Mary’s College. @ Tl R0 ool MBS SOOI o o MO0 oo RO ool @) the relations between the “great uni- versities” and the “'small colleges” I left Berkeley out of the question. This method of treatment is con- venient for a number of reasons. In the first place, whatever-is true of Stanford as a college is also true of Berkeley as a college. Dr: Wheeler belongs to the same school of educationalists as Dr. Jordan. The kind of education given in both in- stitutions Is practically identical. As a result we have two Stanfords or two Berkeleys, and what holds for the college at Palo Alto holds for the college across the bay. The fact that Berkeley is a State in- | stitutfon and that Stanford is a private enterprise gives the college education im- parted at Berkeley no superiority over the college education imparted at Stanford, at St. Mary’s College or at the Univer- sity of the Pacific. Because Berkeley is a State institution is no reason why its graduates should be entitled, in the face of the State, to any rights or privileges not enjoyed by all other graduates of the same degree. Berkeley belongs to ail the people, 1s supported by the itaxes of ail the people and, therefore, should be just to all the people. Now the right of parents to determine where and by whom ance is deceptive. The interest of each and all citi- zens will certainly be promoted by whatever promotes the welfare of the whole community, and a count which manifests for the city a large increase of popu- lation during the past decade will undoubtedly have a potent influence in directing the attention of capital- | ists and business men to San Francisco and thus tend | to advance the general prosperity in many ways. The Call has already directed attention to the cir- cular issued by the census officers requesting persons who are to be absent from the city during the two weeks when the count of the population is made to arrange so that their names and the desired informa- | tion concerning them may be obtained by the enn- merators. It is to be hoped that the request has been duly heeded and complied with. Little or no trouble is required to fulfill all that has been asked in that re- gard, and if any one now absent or intending to be absent has neglected to leave the information they should do so at once. The last census was unsatisfactory in almost every particular, and many well sustained complaints were made of a deficiency in the count. Efforts have been made with especial care this time to get an accurate enumeration of the people, and there can be little doubt they will be crowned with a high degree of suc- cess. - In the Eastern cities the people thoroughly un- derstand the advantage which will result to themselves in giving cordial assistance to the census officers in malgng the count, and accordingly the population of | those cities will be justly and fully recorded in the re- sults. The citizens of San Francisco must show an equal civic patriotism. Let us see to it that we have a fair count and a full count, so that we may be given { among the cities of the Union the rank and prestige that belong to us of right. OUBTLESS there will be much in the way of adverse criticism, complaint. and antagonisin lation of athletic sports at the universities in the re- port submitted by the committee appointed for that UNIVERSITY ATHLETICS. E to the recommendations concerning the regu- purpose and representing the universities of Califor- and Pennsylvania. A movement for reform never takes place until there is an evil to eradicate, and the forces which bring about the evil are certain to op- pose and to hamper the reform no matter how wisely it be directed. In the present case, however, the authorities that propose the reform are so high and have given so much study to the subject the general public will not be easily persuaded to deem them wrong. Therefore, whoever undertakes to condemn their conclusions and to oppose the adoption of their recommendations will have to give very valid rea- sons indeed for doing so, or otherwise will profit little by his labor. The committee, after an examination extending over a considerable period of time, find that many abuses have grown up among the universities by reason of the rivalries engendered by athletic contests. It is noted that many students are tempted by the ex- citements of athletic sports to neglect their studies. The keenness of the rivalry leads certain elements in the university to encourage men to enter the in- stitution not to study, but solely to strengthen the various university teams. In some cases offers are made to pay athletic young men for their services on the teams. Finally, the attendance at the public games between the champions of noted universities ment to students to enter upon something very much like professional sport for gain. The report sets forth with careful elaboration many of these bad practices and the evils that result from them. The statements are strong, and while some of tilem may seem to be exaggerated, it will be remem- bered by the public that the men who make them have thoroughly studied the subject and are familiar with it, and being university men themselves, are certainly | not biased against university athletics. They say: “At present athletic sports occupy a disproportionate amount of attention in many of our universities, col- leges and schools, and the 'main end of all rules must be to prevent outdoor sports and physical exercises from interfering with tlie mental and moral training of the students. If that cannot be done, the sports bid fair to become a po: i According to the summary made public, the report recommends that there shall be no intercollegiate contests on any except university athletic fields; that “no student shall be a member of both the freshman and university teams; that no student shall represent ‘his university in more than one branch of sport in a single academic year without permission from the ath- letic committee; that no student shall represent the university if he has heen dropped from his class into a lower class or from the first year class out of the university; that no student shall receive his board free at the training table; that there shall be no summer team practice excepting for ten days before the open- ing of the fall term, and that no tickets shall be sold to the general public for intercollegiate contests until the students themselves have had the first chance to LT The proposed rules leave ample scope for such gen- erous rivalry among the universities as to encourage young men to athletic sports and healthful exercise. 1t is to be hoped they will be generally adopted and given a fair trial. x | popular right. their children should be educated is a When out of their gen- y the people give a free education e children of a certain section of the population, the genemsl({ of the peopie stops at giving the education and does not add the privilege of depriving chiidren of other sections of the popuiation of their just dues. To give a single civic advant- age to the graduates of the State Uni- | versity is to attack freedom of education. Such advantage would fhfallibly lead to a_ trust, a monopol Who would send his child to a private school if the State showers its benefits only on its own wards? Becausa Berkeley is a public institution all the people have rights in it, and it has duties toward the State. Stanford can ac- cept or reject whom it pleases, for any | reason or for none; so can any other pri- vate Institution. Berkeley must be open to all on the same conditions. It must not pick and choose between classes of the population. It must not make it easy for some to enter, and bar the doors against others who are their scholastic equals. As the people have rights in Berkeley, so Berkeley has duties toward the pa?le. It should ‘dv honest work itself, and it should stand ready with the consent of private Institutions to guarantee the ef- ficiency of their work. But how are we to know that Berkeley does honest work? How are we to Know that if asked it would give an honest | judgment? On the answer to these two Questions depend the relations of Berkeley to _the private institutions. A State University, because it is a State University, does not always give honest work. In fact, when a State institution s run as a private preserve there is more than suspicion that it is not Hving up to its professions. As I had no desire to say a word derogatory of the gentlemen who teach at Palo Alto, so I have no desire to ay a word derogatory of the professorate of Berkeley. But every one knows that there is as much skimping and pretense, backing and filling, In Berkeley as else- re. Men have come out of it with demic degrees who, to say the least, ained them on ea oh did mot always tend to increase the Scholastic reputation of their aima mater. Therefore the public must ask the ques- tion, Who shall watch the watchers? { Berkeley is to watch over the interests of education in California, who shall watch over Berkeley? The scheme of making one man responsible for the teaching will not work. This fad which has had such disastrous results when ap- plied to municipal government is equally inefficacious when applied to university Zovernment. It is beyond the power of any mortal man to supervise in any efficacious manner the teaching body and the student body in Berkeley. He has against him at least the dead weight of permanent officialdom and the masterly inactivity upon which the labors of Her- cules would be spent in vain. power is opposed to all democratic ideals and especially to all university ideals. Perhaps if the one man were also the owner of the State he might put his meas- ures through; but where he is only the hired co-servant of those for whose work he is supposed to vouch, the result is in- evitable. If he is discreet, if he sees lit- tle and says less, peace will come on him like a dove. If he tries to do his duty to the people, there is muttering, _then wrath, then the storm and behold his place knows him no more. He passes, but the Incompetent remain and Don Quixote goes down before the sheep. Who shall watch the watchers? Only a body that is independent of the teach- ing staff, that holds the teaching staff in the hollow of its hand and that has in- centive to see that the teaching staff does its work. Such a body would be a representative board of regents. TRere is no reason why a board of university regents should be made up solely of law vers and capitalists. That board stands for the people to see that the school does its proper work for the people. Therefore. it should represent not one or two classes, but as far as possible every class and more especially those concerned in educa- tional work. truly representative board made up of men whose interest it is to get out of the university value for the public will contain in itself its own source of energy and efficaciousness. ~Where there are divers interests one will watch the other. This is tle theory of our civil government; it should be the practice of our university government. It i to the advantage of the State, it is to the advantage of the private educa- tional enterprises that there should be not only good teaching in the State Univer- y terms and whose | mental equipment and methods of speech | ing among Catholics. One man | DITOR THE CALL—In dealing with |sity, Lt | est de; but that there should be some guar- antée of the teaching In private institu- tions if these private institutions demand Because certain tax-paying citizens engage In the same work as Berkeley they do not thereby forfeit the right which every other citizen has in that in- stitution. They have a claim om it for such service as it cgn give them. As the university stands at present many of these private institutions have little con- fidence in the ability of its teaching staft and less in their fairness. These institu- tions have no representative on the gov- erning body of the university to safeguard their rights and lnok out for their in- terests. Until they have such a represen- tative they would be untrue to the pa- rents who patronize them, gntrue to '!he students under their charge were they Lo give the State University the slightest say in their affalrs. A State university not run as a private concern would be of incalculable value to California. No citizen wants second-rate education when he is paying for first- rate. No educator wants poor teaching when he can get good teaching. But thera are worse evils than poor teaching and it is because we dread these evils we often- times suffer things to remain which we would gladly have otherwise. To treat the relations of the religious bodies to the university, and consequently the relations of the sectarian colleges, is to touch a difficult and thorny subject. The so-called orthodox Protestant pul- pits are not satisfied with Berkeley, and Oakland often resounds to the charge of theological horse, foot and artillery. I have no desire to mingle myself in_the plous disputations of the brethren. They are perfectly competent to fight their own battles without outside help or interfer- ence. I would, however. draw attention to certain facts concerning the attitude of Berkeley toward the Catholic communion, which may not be without interest to Catholics and non-Catholics alike. I wish to speak with all moderation and to pre- sent only unquestioned facts. Catholics claim nothing from the State save what they are willing to allow to others. They ask their rights and fair play, not as boons, but because they would not be £00d Americans to be content with less. The Catholic church is, apart entirely from its religious aspect, the largest ed- ucatlonal force in California after the State. It reaches more pupils and spends more money than all the private agencies put together. Its adherents number a good third of the taxpayers of the State. Their money goes into the coffers of the State University, as does the money of non-Catholics. ‘On this title alone Cath- olics are interested in the working of | Berkeley, and have a right to make their opinfons 'heard. Now, when we consider the relations of the State University to the Catholic cit- izens of California, we are struck by cer- tain significant facts. In the first place the conduct of the uni- versity is committed to the Board of Re- gents. They are appointed from time to | time by the Executive and represent the | people of the State. Up to two years ago there had not been a single Catholic on the Board of Regents. At present there is one. If the Regents were divided in re- liglous belief as is the population of ‘(ull- fornia, there should be six or seven Cath- lics. OU; course, it may be said that Regents are selected for their administrative abil- ity, not for their religion. If the statement is not true, it should be true. But surely administrative ability is not entirely lack- 1t I put a hundred venty-five of them marbies into a bag. red and twenty-five white. if I carefully shake these marbles together and then, without looking, pick a dozen at random it will be a most extraordingry. thing if I happen to draw ocut twelve red. If from time to time I continue to draw from the bag and draw_only the red ones the phe- nomenon will be still more extraordinary. Yet this is precisely what happens in Berkelev. It may have come about with- out design, but that it did is in the high- ree improbable. Tn the secomd place, there is only one Catholic professor in Berkeley. I do not Know the number of the faculty, there- fore 1 cannot say what the natural per- centage should be. There are one or two Catholie instructors and a few employes, but altogether t he number of Catholics drawing pay f‘{tvm Ber;&eloy fi;\:‘lal be com- uted on the fingers of one L pAgain it may be said that professors are not chosen for religion’s sake, but for learning. Perhaps so. Still here is a curi- ous phenomenon. When any religious de- pomination forms a certain percentage of the population you will find that unless there are disturbing causes the same per- centage prevails in the various avocations of the population. ot supposed to receive their degrees for rneu‘gln&pknowledge; lawyers certainly do not, and there is a strong suspicion that business ability is not always con- sequent on church memibership. Yet if We make a religious census of the pro- fessors we will find that its results closely approximate to the results of B._Fenernl census of the whole population. Thus in San Francisco half the people might be called Catholics of some sort, and as a matter of fact half oi our doctors and lawyers may be claimed as Catholics by some title. The same percentage holds true of the scheol teachers. It may be accidental that Berkeley is such a con- spicuous exception to the rule. ‘Berkeley was in _the Leginning a private sectarian college which was handed over to the State. e original professors were to a great extent clergymen, and there is a historical reason, therefore, that so many of the professors to-day should be ministers of the gospel. I know there are certaln narrow laymen who think a preacher or a priest has no rights. Though preacher and priest bear all the, burdens of citizenship, there are some o think that priest and preacher have no Knowl- edge of citizenship.

The citizenship of priest or preacher is just as deep, as high, as broad as the citizenship of lawyer or doc- tor. Therefore priest and preacher have as much right to employmant in Berkeley as any other man. But behold the won- der. There are preachers without number in Berkeley. No priest ever held a posi- tion there. It is not on record that any priest was ever proffered a position. In the territory tributary to Berkeley practically seven people out of sixteen flh Catholfc. Yet the number of Catho- CS on the university rolls is exceedingly small. To explain this fact we must Suppose either that the churciy is hostile to the university as a university or that parents have reasons of their own for nfl\t_ sending their children there. 3 5 OWw, it is not true that the church is ostile to the university as a university, Or that she condemns all systems of ed jeation not given under her own control. e church has her own ideal of educa- tion, and to realize that ideal she has her own institutions as becomes her Who 2," the mother of all learning. But she oes not for that reason quarantine her children against universities where they may gain certain secular information and reap certain soclal or professional advan- tages. All she demands is that her chil- dren have fair play. When that fair play is secured, aye evén when there is a hope of securing it, she prudently makes her accommodations. i’h» great Catholic schools of New York State are in touch with the regents of the University of New York because Catholics have such repre- sentation among the regents that Catho- lic rights are secure from unjust aggre slon. In Oxford and Cambridge Catholic students frequent the schopls, and there have been established in these towns houses or agencles to see that Catholic boys receive no detriment. If the church were opposed to Berkeley as Berkeley mlexre would not be a Catholic on its rolls. As to Catholic parents, who can blame them if they see in the absence of Catholic regents and Catholic professors an inti- mation that, while Catholics may be wel- come enough as students, there is some strange fatality which shuts them out from university emoluments? They are not reassured by the statement that there is no desire to penalize their children or to discriminate against them. Non licet argumentare contra factum. The facts are there and facts are most persuasive. Now, let me say that I am one of those who regret and have always regretted this state of affairs. I do not belleve that the Catholic community should shut itself in with walls of brass. I believe that as we bear our civic Lurdens shoulder to should- er with our brethren, Jew and gentile, Catholic and Protestant, so we should en- joy our ecivic rights, share and share alike. Especfally in this matter of the State University, as we contribute to its support. so we should be able to partake of its advantages. I would not have Cath. | olicg a_caste or a class apart. 1 believ | in_Catholic colleges because I believe in | religious education and in freedom of edu- cation, but I believe, too, that there are many scholastic advantages which not only Catholic c:'leges. but all other pri- vate institutions, might enjoy by the co- operation of the State Universit: But before there can be such co-operation there must be fair play to all and a gen- erous recognition of every class in the community. To promote that eonsumma- tion I have written this article, and he who shall be in any way instrumental in bringing it about will have deserved well of learning and of the State. Yours truly, P. C.
