The Catholic World

ENGLAND.— To the Memojy of the Fallen The old students of the Jesuit College of Stonyhurst, Blackburn, ha"\ c determined to erect a memorial to those Stonyhurst men who luue lost their Ines in tho Boer War Among the subscribers are Lord llerries, Lieutenant-Colonel Harrington, Majors Tempest and Kenna, V C, D S.O , and Captain Maxwell-Scott The Education Act Lord Denbigh, presiding 1 at tho dinner of the Catholic Association, ad\ used Catholics to keep a watchful eye on the administration of the Education Act, so that it might be worked for the welfare of the children and of their religion ROME. — Proselytising Agencies According to the ' Italic ' (Rome), the Cardinals' Commission for the Preservation of the Faith has succeeded in placing in Catholic institutions 200 young Catholic girls rescued from Protestant institutions. The journal adds that the Commission has issued an appeal to wea.lt hv peisons connected with the Vatican for pecuniary assistance. SCOTLAND.— Excluding Catholic Nurses. A sensation (writes an Edinburgh correspondent) has "been caused here by a public attack on the management of the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary by the Rev. Father Power, S J. The hospital in question is undenominational in so far that persons of all creeds are admitted as patients, but Father Power alleges that the authorities take steps to exclude Catholic nurses, and proves his case very effectively in the local press. One lady of Scottish extraction, who is a Catholic, applied to be appointed a probationer. On learning she was a Catholic the lady was told with some asperity she could not tw appointed. It also seems that an army reserve nurse Who won golden opinions in South Africa, on asking for an appointment in this infirmary was questioned as to h«r religion. The lady avowed her Catholicity and was in»tantly informed her application could not be entertained Father Power's attack on the iniirmary management and the inquisition that has existed to ferret out the religion ot those seeking employment have been so damaging that many calls are being made for a public inquiry into tho matter. Catholfc Progress According to the 'Catholic Directory' the priests on the mission in Scotland include 401 parochial clergy and

82 regulars, or priests of religious Orders, making a to1 0483o 483 u pn l stß ' There are U24 missions or parishes, with 359 churches, chapels, or stations, and there are 11 monasteries or religious houses for men, and 48 convents. There are 245 Catholic schools and 31 charitable institutions. The Catholic population in the whole country r* estimated as being over 513,400 aouls. The baptisms recorded for 1901 were— in the archdiocese of St. Andrews and Edinburgh, 2800 ; in Aberdeen, 404 ; l n ,t V £ y r2? th !, • Is !??' 323 •in Dunkeld, 1267 ;in ?ofs3an 66 d 6 ln : ffi?t 8 ' *""** St Mungo The f St. Mungo centenary celebrations at St. Andrews, Glasgow, evoked a good deal of comment from the daily papers in Glasgow. The • Herald ' did lather, Stack the compliment of devoting a leader to him (they have still to learn to spell his name), while tho Citizen referred to him as • one of the most scholarly priests on the Scottish mission.' The ' Tablet printed an interesting article from the pen of Father Stack on tho subject of ' St. Mungo and the foundation of Glasgow. In his article Father Stack discusses the various derivations of the word ' Glasgow ' and rejects as fanciful and unlikely all except that quoted by Jocelyn aiz , Clas-cu meaning 'the dear family,' more lately softened into Glasgu,' hence Glasgow. • The dear family was of course, the community founded by St. Mungo. lather Stack gives numerous parallels, showing the probability of this derivation from the Cymric the population of Strathclyde in St. Mungo's time being Cymric in extraction and tongue. SOUTH AFRlCA.— Rhodes' Scholarships The 'Buluwa\o Chronicle' of December 22 says: The .Jesuit Fathers are to be congratulated on securing the first two of the Rhodes' Scholarships for St. George's and the two pupils are also to be felicitated. Messrs Albert Bisset and Woodford Gilbert have a great foundation to lay to show that the benefactor has not been mistaken in his design. The honor of Rhodesia is placed in then- hands, and we have no doubt they will acquit themsehes like good men and true Rhodesians.' In a letter from Earl Grey to Father Barthelemy, head master ot St. George's Public School, Buluwayo, is the following passage : '1 should also like to heartily congratulate your boys and you on the proud distinction your school has gained in having secured the distinguished honor of supplying from the ranks of your boys the two first Rhodes scholars that have been elected. lam glad that this honor should belong to the Jesuit Fathers whose devoted and unceasing labors, from the earliest moment of our occupation to the present time in the interests of both the white settlers and native population of Rhodesia, have won the ungrudging admiration and gratitude of us all.' UNITED STATES.— To Study for the Priesthood The Right Rev. Mgr. T. F. Kennedy, Rector of the American, College at Rome, who left New York for Europe early in January, was accompanied by Dr. Benjamin i . Do Coata and Al\ah W. Doran, former curate of St Clement's Church in Philadelphia, both former Episcopalian clergymen who have become converts to the Catholic Church and are going to Rome with him to pursue theological studies for the purpose of entering the priesthood Dr. Benjamin F. De Costa was pastor of n. Protestant Episcopal church up to four years ago when he became a Catholic. He has studied a great dea.l since, and it is quite likely that it will be neceasnry for him to tako only a very short course before heing ordained a priest. He is 65 years old, His wife died two years ago. The Philippines. Here are some sensible remarks from the Manila ' American ' :— ' In view of the fact that the natives of these islands have been Christians for over 300 years, tho Manila " American " is at a loss to understand why so much hue and cry is being raised among the various missionary societies as to the best method of " Christianising " the Filipinos. True, there have been abuses in the manner in which the Church has been conducted out here in the past, and many of the abuses still remain. But they can be more easily and speedily settled by such negotiations as are still pending between the Vatican and the special commission to Rome, of which Governor Taft and General Smith were members, than by the efforts of all the missionaries combined. The work of Christian missionaries in an effort to " convert" a Christian people is bound to result in but one thins-— • atheism ' Catholic Foresters. According to official announcement, the American Catholic Order of Foresters has a membership at present of 103,243. Illinois stands first on the list of States with 23,569 GENERAL. Generous Treatment. The Catholics of Samoa are being treated with great generosity by the German Government. In the suburbs of Apia the Government has granted 1500 acres for a new high school for the training of native Catholic teachers. At present 93 native Catholic teachers are under instructions in Apia.
