Departments now doing educational
work of one kind or another. From
these conferences some workable
plan of educational reorganization
should come, while overlapping will
he done away with and the efforts
of different Departments efficiently
correlated.
“The Phipps Bill may not satisfy
the proponents of Federalized educa-
tino, though what objection they
can find to it would be difficult to
imagine. It will he received with
satisfaction, however, by all who
are really interested in educational
progress, and not in educational po
litics, jobs, or Federal interference
with the rights of the States. This

not large when compared with the
money being spent on roads, prohi

“Personally, 1 bespeak for this
new measure the support of all who
are dissatisfied With and unalterably
opposed to the Curtis-Rced Bill, yet
who feel that education is of such
importance to the national life that
the research facilities of the Bureau
of Education should be enlarged so
as to meet the growing needs of
bolh public and private educational
systems.
“The National Council on Educa
tion, representative of public and
private educational agencies, which
the bill would establish, is also a
progressive step and should prove
of great value to all schools by
bringing together outstanding’ educa
tors for mutual advice and counsel.”

Rome.—Some little known data
concerning the interest of Pope Pius
XI in the history of art and his
ability as an art critic has been re
vealed by Amadore Porcella in an
article which appeared in the “Os-
servatore Romano.’ According to
this study, His Holiness, before his
elevation to the Papacy, had mani
fested a deep interest in art and in
its history. This interest was not
merely that of the scholar, but that
of a critic, and so sure was his judg
ment and so thorough his knowledge
of the different schools and the char
acteristics of the works of the vari
ous masters and their pupils, I hat
he was able definitely to establish,
for the first time, the authorship of
some disputed works.
As early as 1924, Pope Pius XI,
through the Cardinal Secretary of
State issued a circular to the Italian
bishops containing rules for the pro
tection of ecclesiastical art treasures
and antiquities. At that time a Cen
tral Pontifieial Commision for Sa
cred Art was established as a sec
tion of the Secretariate of State. A
pamphlet containing rules formulat
ed by (lie Pope on the matter of sa
cred art was compiled by this com
mission, and copies Were sent out to
ail bishops, vicars apostolic, pre
fects and superiors of religious or
ders of men and women about two
months ago, together with a letter
signed by Cardinal Gasparri reiter
ating the desire of the Holy Father
t fiat art treasures belonging to
churches, monasteries, etc., be pre
served wjth the utmost care.
'Jhe first of the Holy Father’s art
studies date from the period when
he was prefect of the Ambrosinna,
one of the world's greatest collec
tions of literary and artistic treas
ures. Three'' of these studies were
published in the Rassegna d’Arte in
1910 and 1912.
The first referred lo a small but
magnificent painting which was the
work of two great masters, Brueghel
and Bubens. The painting was exe
cuted on copper, and represented the
.Madonna and Child, by Keubens,
surrounded by a garland of flowers
and fruit executed with the great at
tention lo minute detail which char
acterized Brueghel’s work. Msgr.
Haiti traced the history and fate of
tliis work, which is now.in file Pra
do Muesum in Madrid, quoting nu
merous letters exchanged on the
subject between Brueghel and Car
dinal Borromeo, for whom, appar
ently, it was originally made.
Msgr Ratti also establsihed defi
nitely the authorship of another fa
mous painting, a stuuy of the Holy
Family of Lumi, the great disciple
of Leonardo whose work was often
so nparly like that of his master that
*t has been confused with it. This
painting is in the Ainbrosiana gal
lery.
Another study was devoted to Fra
Antonio da Monza, concerning whose
works very little is known. His min
iatures are fairly familiar, the larg
est ahd best known being the one
representing the descent of the Holy

Spirif, which is in the possession of
the Albertine Gallery in Vienna.
In his study Msgr. llatti points out
the great difference between these
miniatures and the engravings com
monly attributed to Fra da Monza.
He writes: “It seems to me that it is
sufficient to compare the miniature
of the Albertine with the two en
gravings of the Ambrosiana to ob
serve the measure the great distance
which separates them in every way.”
According to the study, the author
of these engravings was more prob
ably an artist whose work had been
influenced by that of the friar, who
probably founded a school in Milan
and enjoyed a certain repuation as
an engraver as well as painter.
Love for and projection of the
arts has ever been a characteristic
of the Supreme Pontiffs, and the
names of many Popes are associated
with those of the greaiest of the old
masters. His Holiness Pope Pius XI
is eminently qualified to carry on
this glorious tradition.
HOUSE PAYS TRIBUTE TO
LATE BOURKE COCHRAN
Good Friday Interrupts
Nine Fridays Schedule
(By N. C. W. C. News Service)
New Y’ork.—As it will be impos
sible lo receive Holy Communion on
the First Friday of April this year,
Good Friday, the National Office
of the League of the Sacred Heart
has been deluged with letters to
know' whether this omission breaks
Jhe series of the nine First Fridays.
I he following answer has been
given to local centers in the United
States:
“The promise made to St. Marga
ret Mary Alacoque was for those
who would receive Holy Communion
on the First Fridays of nine eon-
seen live months. No matter what
maj he the cause of the omission,
failure^ to receive on one of these
nrst 1 rid ays breaks the succession.
Hence we think that the nine First
Fridays should be begun again in
May. Some think it will suffice to
continue for a tenth month bemuse
lias always been our aim to per-
suade all Catholics to receive every
First Friday of their lives. There
is no warrant for saying that com
munions may be received on Satur-
, X.,° r Sunday for the purpose of
tultilluig the conditions of Our
Lord s promise.”

SAVANNAH
(By N. C. W. C. News Service)
Washington,—The House of Rep
resentatives paused March 2 to hear
a ringing eulogy to the late Bourke
Cochran, Representative front New
York, on the third anniversary of
his death.
“He was a profound student of
history, a philosopher, a patriot”,
said Senator Burton of Ohio, who
delivered the eulogy and who was
introduced by Representative Carew
of New York as “one of his most
distinguished and generous friends
and rivals.”
“He loved his native Ireland with
all her woes and sufferings and gave
equal deference and attachment to
the land of his adoption,” Senator
Burton continued. “His was n dis
tinguished career in the United Stat
es, and that career was also a dis
tinction to our own country, for
what land under the sun could give
such a golden opportunity to a poor
immigrant who, at IT years of age,
came here and attained tile position
in our public life which Mr. Cothran
attained?”
The speaker paid tribute to Mr.
Coekran’s “unique position as an
o.ator” declaring that “no one ever
appeared before a public audience
in the United States who had great
er facility in taming an unfriendly
crowd.” Referring to the sudden
ness of his death, which came the
night after he liad made an addre.ss
in the House, he said: “Surely it
may be said of him that lie died
like a battling warrior with-ail his
armor on.”
Mr. Cochran, it is well known, was
a daily attendant at Mass and a short
Cme before his death left Ills pew
to serve Mass at his parish church.
