Paris—Among the recent promo
tions to the Legion of Honor is one
much interest to Catholics on both
sides of Ihe Atlantic. It is that of
Dr. Henri Hyvcrnat, the noted
French scholar who is professor of
Biblical Archeology and Semitic Lan
guages and Literature at the Catholic
University of America.
Dr. Hyvcrnat is a native of the-
Department of the Loire. After his
studies at Saint Supice he was or
dained in 1882 and went to Koine
for his university degrees. But while
studying theology and canon taw he
devoted himself likewise to Semitic
languages, a study which he had lie-
gun in Paris and for which he had
a marked predilection and special
talent. After a short time lie was
appointed professor of this science
at the College of the Propaganda,
a position he ocupi.ed in 1888 when
Msgr. Keane, the first Rector of the
new Catholic University at Wdshing-
ton, came to Europe in search of
professors. Dr. Hyvernat accepted
the proposal made to him to go to
America, arid thus became one of the
first professors. He is one of the
original faculty of the University.
silies of the United Stales, France,
Germany, Italy’ and England.
Dr. Hyvernat again came into
prominence when .1. P. Morgan, who
rare collection of Coptic manu
scripts, was anxious first to submit
(hem to someone who could pass on
their authenticity. Dr. Hyvernat
was recommnnded to Him as Ihe ex
pert who would best be able to do
this work. After a Fong and minute
sludy Dr. Hyvernat declared the
Morgan bought them and then turned
them over to Dr. Hyvernat for edit
ing and restoration. The magnitude
of this task, which is not yet en
tirely completed, may lie appreciated
when it is known that the collection
contains GO volumes in folio. 10,000
photographs and numerus tables, in
dexes, etc. The work is being done
in Paris, Rome.and Washington.
On aeount of the unusual, branch
of science which lie professes, Dr.
Hyvernat is not widely known to the
general public, lint in the world of
science he is universally recognized
as one of the greatest scholars of
the present age, and has been hon
ored by many of the leading univer-

of the Institute of France, Dr. Hy
vernat is also one of the editors of
another gigantic work: the “Corpus
Scriptorum Eeclcsiastieorum Qricnt-
alium” which is printed in Paris
and which, is nearing the one hun-
dreth volume. •
In addition lo his numerous arti
cles in encyclopedias and reviews,
Dr. Hyvernat has produced another
monument of scholarship: the “Acts
of the Martyrs of the Coptic
Church,”, a Coptic text with a Latin
translation.
Dr. Hyvernat represented the
Catholic University of America at
the celebration of the fiftieth anni
versary of the foundation of the
Catholic Institute of Paris held here
recently.

Washington, D. C.—The Curlis-
Reed bill to, create a federal de
partment of education with a cabi
net, officer at its bead was assail
ed as an attempt to compel all stu
dents to "loek-steji.” behind a “fed
eral educational autocrat” in a state
ment. issued, recently by Senator
Edward 1. Edwards of New Jersey
strenuously opposing the measure.
“If there is one important phase
of the independence which has
been and always should be exer
cised, by state and county aulhoEg*
tics in the furtherance of their po
litical and economic right's and priv
ileges, it is that of educating their
•young,” Senator Edwards said, in
part.
“I have made an earnest study of
the Curtis-Recd measure and have
discussed its provisions with prom-
nent educators of New Jersey. New
York and other commonwealths, and
1 can not bring myself to agree with,
the position taken b.v the sponsors
of the educational bill. . . .
“I heartily Concur in an observa
tion made recently by President
Angell. of Yale, that there is too
much ‘lockstep’ in American educa
tional method.
“All students, regardless of then*
peculiar intelligence or ability,
should not be compelled to 'look-,
step’ behind a federal educational
autocrat who in no'wise could pos
sibly be in a position to appreciate
highly individualized and specialized
demands of forty-eight different
states.”
