NEBRASKA’S CATHOLIC
SCHOOLS COORDINATED
Dioceses Unite in State-
Wide Movement to Or
ganize Education.
(By N. C. W. C. News Service)
Omaha. Neb.—Eyes of educators
the country over are turned upon
Nebraska, where, for the first time
in history, the Catholic parochial
schools are being organized upon a
slate-wide basis. *
in this state the schools arc be
ing organized, first, in each of the
three dioceses and then into a state
unit. For this purpose Rev. D. B.
O'Connor, of Havelock, who has
been acting supervisor of Catholic
schools since 1919, will become state
supervisor of parochial schools. For
his assistance and as a step of the
co-ordinating process Father .1. H.
Ostdiek, of Omaha, will he super
intendent of schools of the diocese
of Omaha and the Rev. I.. L. Man-
deville, now at Catholic University,
will he superintendent of schools of
flic diocese of Lincoln. The super
intendent for the Diocese of Grand
Island is yet to he appointed.
Pennsylvania already has a state
association of parochial schools, but
it lacks many features of the new
plan. In Pennsylvania ttiere is no
commo qcouncil of superintendents,
common council of superintends,
cuts recognized as a leader or su
perior. The state association really
only functions during its annual
conventions; at oilier times there is
little concerted action.

Bartley Doyle's AddressatC.L.A.
Meeting in Augusta Is Its feature
Augusta, Ga.—Bartley J. Doyle,
prominent Philadelphia Catholic
laymen, delivered before the annual
meeting of the Augusta branch of
the Catholic Laymen’s Association of
Georgia March 26 one of the finest
addresses a Laymen’s Association
meeting has ever heard, and the
meeting itself was from the stand
point of attendance and interest one
of the best meetings a local associa
tion has held.
Mr. Dovlc, a winter visitor to Au
gusta, is widely' known as a pub
lisher and a financier, but he is even
better known because of his won
derful work for neglected boys. He
has been responsible for the educa
tion of 119 hoys who had no pros
pects for even a fair start in the
world; onl.v three of the boys lie
has adopted have failed. He became
interested in the rearing of boys
over a generation ago in New York,
when lie rescued a motherless street
waif from an intoxicated father and
adopted him. This hoy is now presi
dent of one of the country’s largest
corporations, employing 28,000 men.
For twenty years or more Mr.
Doyle has been studying boys, and
tiu- fact that only three of 119 have
failed under his.system of training
indicates the effective of his meth
ods. His first makes it possible f<y
the boys to regain their self-respect.
Then he sets about finding out what
they can do heller than anything
else, treating each boy individually,
and has them trained and educated
along these lines. Finding out de
finitely wherein a boy’s greatest
ability lies seldom takes piorc than
eighteen months. Mr. Doyle said. He
now has boys at several leading uni
versities.
The hoys are taught to “think
justly, speak wisely and walk hum
bly," and Mr. Doyle declared that if
all youngsters were effectively train
ed along these lines there would be
no prejudice because of religious or
other convictions. “1 have never seen
a bigot yet who walked humbly,” he
asserted. Mr. Doyle spoke for ail
hour, and so interesting, intensely
human and delightfully humorous
was his address lhat the only criti
cism of it that can he offered is that
it was much too short.
Reports on the work of the Lay
men’s Association for the past year
were made by the state president
and the publicity director. The open
ing prayer was offered by Rev. T. i
A. Cronin, S J., acting pastor of Sac
red Heart Church, and Rev. H A.
Schonhardt, pastor of St- Patrick's
church, offered the closing prayer.
At the conclusion of Mr. Doyle’s ad- I
dress he was given a rising vote of
thanks.
.1. Coleman Dempsey, president of ,
the Augusta branch of the Associa
tion, who presided at the meeting,
was reelected unanimously, as were
Ihc other officers of the branch.
The past year has been one of the
most successful the organization lias
experienced, and at the time of the
meeting the Augusta branch, under
the leadership of Mr. Dempsey, had
paid in more money than any other
branch iu the stale on the pledges
i made in 1he 1924 campaign. The
| only change in the list of officers
j was the election of Marion A. Col
lins as financial secretary to succeed
j T. P. Kearney, who retired after
several years of faithful and effi
cient service and the addition as
| members of- the executive committee
of Miss Mary Meadowcroft and Miss
; Marcella O’Keefe.

coming year are:

Charleston Mercy Convent Fire Loss At Ammendalfe
(Special to The Bulletin.)
Charleston, S. C-—The- bright su
shine of an early spring morning,
streaming through the Chapel win
dows, seemed like an added heavenly
light to the artistically lighted al
tar in the Convent of Our Lady of
Mercy where, March 13, Miss Teresa
Beall, of Macon, Georgia, an Honor
Graduate, Class of 1924, St. Angela
Academy, Aiken, S. C., received the
habit of the Sister of Our Lady of
Mercy, from Rt. Rev. W. T. Russell,
D. I)', Bishop of Charleston.
Hearkening to the words: “Great
er love than this, no man hath, that
he lay' down his life for his friend,”
this young soul offered in life’s
springtime, her labors of heart and
mind, for the service of The Mas
ter to teach and instruct—to tell of
Him who suffered for all humanity
—to lead other souls to His Eucha
rist icl Home—to His eternal home.
The Mass of Reception was cele
brated by Bishop Russell. Present
in Ihc sanctuary were Rev. J J.
May, Hector of the Cathedral and
Rev. Father Doran, of Philadelphia.
The musical program follows;
Festival March, Battman; Tota
Pulchra Es, Marzo; Veni Creator
Spiritus, Rosewig; Kyrie, Bcrge;
Jesu Corona Virginium, Blanch!;
Avc Regina Coelorum, Webbe; Sanc-
tus. Beige; Benedictus, Berge; Ag
nus 1)ei, Berge; Vocation Hymn,
Sisters of St. Francis.
Rt. Rev. Bishop Bussell spoke of
the opportunities of acquiring grace
and merit afforded by the Religious
Life. He said in part:
“A straight line is Ihc shortest dis
tance betwen (wo points. There are
many routes which lead to Heaven,
some of which are circuitous, but
the Religious Life is the direct
route. You have chosen that as
your wav. Then, with an entire for
getfulness fo self, go ahead, with the
goal ever in mind.”
On the morning of February 20,
four novices made their vows as
Sisters of Our 1-ady of Mercy. The
Sisters who pronounced their vows
were; Sister Mary Malachy, Sister
Mary Alphonsus, Sister Mary Vin
cent amt Sister Mary Rose The
vows of (he novices were received by
the Rt. Rev. Bishop Russell.

Baltimore -Fire companies from
Washington and Baltimore combin
ed early last week to combat the
burning of a two-story building of
the Ammendale Normal Institute at
Ammcndalc. Md., about five miles
southwest of Laurel. It was esti
mated that the damage amounted
to 82.3,000.
The institute is the provincial
house and novitiate of the Eastern
Section of the United "States for
(he Christian Brothers, who teach
at Calvert Hall College.
The fire was first discovered by
motorists passing along the Wash
ington Baltimore boulevard, who
entered the institution and aroused
the Ill-others. The religious formed
a bucket and pump brigade, b.ut
were unable in cope with (lie flames.
Requests were then made upon Bal
timore and Washington for help.
When apparatus from the two neigh
boring cities arrived about, one
o’clock in the morning, the brush
about the institution had caught tire.
The flames were extinguished, how
ever. and np damage was done to the
main building, which was only about
200 feet from the structure thai
burned.
Ohio Vincentians Asked to
Launch Free Nursing Work
(By N. C. W. C. News Service)
Cincinnati—Archbishop John T.
McNieholas has asked the St. Vincent
do Paul Society of this city to agu-
ment its work by bringing to the
archdiocese a community of Sisters
engaged in nursing the poor in their
homes without compensation.
To inaugurate this work, the Arch
bishop said it would lie necessary for
the Vincentians to provide a home
and maintenance for the sisters as
nothing may lie received by them
fro-m those to whom they minister.
He said there was no work in the
Church closer to his heart than this
and in carrying out his suggestion
the Society would always have his
hearty cooperation.
The Archbishop's suggestion to the
Vincentians was made at the close
of a three days retreat by mem
bers of the society.
A feature of the breakfast that
followed the close of the retreat was
an address by Cap-t. Berger Lndh of
the Salvation Army, who had attend
ed Mass. Capt. Liudh said that he
had heicn deeply impressed by the
services and wished to voice his ap
proval of all that had lieen said by
other speakers to the effect that so
cial work without religious back
ground is of no avalil. He assured
the Vincentian® that the Salvation
Army was always willing 4o cooper
ate with the Society in its work.
