MOUNT DE SALES ACADEMY
SIX GEORGETOWN MEN
AT THE HAGUE ACADEMY
Majority of American Stu
dents There Are From
Washington Institution.
Washington, D. C.—Georgetown
University, historic Catholic institu
tion here, is sending more students
to attend the Academy of Interna
tional Law at the famous Palace of
Peace at The Hague this summer,
than all other American educational
institutions combined. Six of the
ten students from America to take
the course at the international acad
emy are enrolled in the Georgetown
School of Foreign Service.
The six men, all of whom are war
veterans, are: Donald C. Barber,.
Elyria, Ohio; Warren Patterson,
Pottsville, Pa.; M. J. Shea, Oak Park,
HI.; Henry Gorman, Naugatuck,
Conn.; Connie R. Herron. Ottawa,:
Kas., and James T. Gilmartin, Dub
lin, Ireland. They were picked be
cause of their high standing in their
classes. Inasmuch as all the lectures
will be in French, they must know
that language.
Upon the completion of their
studies, the six young men will re
visit the battlefields of Europe, and
then will make a tour of England,
France, .Belgium, Italy and possibly
Germany, returning to Washington
to resume their studies before Oc
tober 1. Dr, James Brown Scott,
a member of the Georgetown
Foreign Service School who is at
tending the London meeting of the
American Bar Association, will later
join the group at The Hague.
For four summers; Georgetown
has sent small groups of students of
this school to foreign countries, for
studies that constitute a sort of
post graduate work, for which credit
is given. Venezuela, Spain and
Franee and Poland have been visit
ed by these groups.

High School Education
A Few Timely Points on
its Value.
An exchange suggests these
thoughts, very valuable to young
people at this time:
You should know that without a
"high, school education:
A standard college will not en
roll you as a student.
Your ambition to be a teacher can
never be realized.
You cannot study law in a law
school of recognized standing
Reputable schools of -medicine will
bar you as a student.
Class “A ’ dental schools will not
allow you to take their courses.
Schools of engineering will not
enroll you in courses leading to a
degree.
You are barred from the competi
tive entrance examinations for West
Point Military Academy.
The U. S. Naval Academy will not
allow you to take Hs examinations.
You cannot secure a position of
•standing in the newspaper world.
Even the ebryo radio engineering
schools will not accept your regis
tration fee.
Nurses’ training schools will not
consider your application for en
trance.
The possibility of ever becoming a
private secretary is remote.
Your hope to follow in the foot
steps of the Master, in the role of
priest or teacher, can never be real
ized.
Sisters Earn Degrees
Marquette University
Awards Them to Nine Nuns
Milwaukee, Wis.—Marquette uni
versity’s most successful summer
session, which had a total enrollment
of 602, has come to an end with
eleven students, nine of them nuns,
finishing the required work toward
their degrees which will not be con
ferred until the June commencement
exercises. Marquette’s summer ses
sion enrollment included thirteen
Milwaukee public school principals,
seven members of the clergy, 132
public school teachers and 149 nuns.
Fourteen religious orders, sixteen
states Ireland and Mexico, were rep
resented.
HOLY CROSS BROTHERS
ARE AWARDED DEGEES
Three Become Masters of
Arts—Brothers Will Teach
in Various Parts of County.
Special to The Bulletin.
Notre Dame, Indiana.—Seventeen
Brothers of the Congregation of
Holy Cross received their degrees
at the Summer School Commence
ment Exercises of the University of
Notre Dame. Three of the group
received their M. A. the others their
B. A. This is the largest group of
Brothers ever graduated from the
University and undoubtedly it is
the largest graduating class of
Brothers in the history of the
United States.
Such an event is certain to bring
great satisfaction to the Catholic
educators of the nation as they
realize the grave necessity of having
a much larger number of Catholic
high schools under the control of
the Brothers. Bishops and pastors
from every section of the country
are making requests for Brothers to
open new schools but in most cases
these requests have to be refused
on account of the scarcity of
Brothers. The Brothers of Holy
Cross are making rapid advance
ment at the present time but in
no way in proportion to the de
mands. Early in July fifteen young
men received the habit of the
Brothers and nineteen Brothers who
have completed their year in the
Novitiate made their temporary pro
fession and entered the House of
Studies. There are now forty ap-'
plications from young men who
desire to enter the Brothers’ Pos
tulate early in September and this
number will increase during the
month of August.
Numerically speaking this is very
encouraging but when consideration
is given to the amount of work to
be done, the large number of
schools that arc on the waiting list
the number is very insignificant.
For those entering this year it will
take at least six or eight years to
become sufficiently trained to enter
the field as expert teachers—they
must remain until they receive their
degrees. As for those receiving de
grees this year they are simply
taken into the rapidly growing
schools now in charge of the
Brothers. The Cathedral High
School of Indianapolis, Indiana, has
grown from ninety-eight to some
six hundred within the past four
years and requires a faculty of
eighteen Brothers; Holy Cross Col
lege of New Orleans, La., a board
ing school, requires a much larger
number and so on for the other
schools.
As the House of Studies of the
Brothers is located at Notre Dame
the student Brothers have the
wonderful advantage of receiving
their education and training at this
great center of Catholic learning.
The Brothers attend the regular
classes with the student body com
peting with them for honors. In
this way there are thrown into
actual contact with the type of
American young men who will later
come under their supervision and
they become acquainted with the
methods of professor* drawn from
every part of the w^rld. During
the summer they all return to Notre
Dame and attend the Summer
School thus keeping in touch with
the latest educational methods.
