DENOMINATIONS UNITE IN COMMON CAUSE.

Catholic and Protestant educators joined hands recently in opposing State Senator Hume’s Bills before the committee on education at Salem, Oregon, U.S.A. One of these Bills, which provided that no private . denominational, or parochial school' be standardised, was generally regarded as aimed specifically at Catholic schools, but, at the hearing before the educational committee Rev. Edwin O’Hara, superintendent of diocesan schools and Catholic educator, stood shoulder to shoulder with Dr. Carl Gregg Doney, president of Williamette University, a ! Methodist institution; President William, of Albany College, a Presbyterian institution; and the Rev. W. T Milliken, speaking in behalf of McMinneville College, a Baptist school, in opposing the Bill. As a result of this hearing, the Bill will be reported on adversely. Hume however, declared his intention of submitting a minoritv report in favor of the Bill. ’• Happiness is never more real, more satisfying, than when, founded on cleanheartedness. The possessor of a clear conscience sees more beauty in the world, around him because .he looks through clearer eyes. He has more 'faith in his friends because - it is so easy for one who is straight himself to believe the same of others. He gets the best of life because he unconsciously attracts it. Right living, by whatever name you may call it, has its own reward right • here on this earth of . ours. " . 6
