Joseph D. Becker of Notre

Highly Commended Course
Special to The Bulletin.

nahians were awarded diplomas at
the banquet at the Benedictine Arm

conducted here by Joseph D. Becker
of Notre Dame University under the
auspices of the National Boy Life
Bureau of the Knights of Columbus.
Covers were laid for 130, including
the wives of those completing the
course, and the banquet was served
by ladies interested in the work.

sided at the banquet and addresses
were made by Mr Becke- who was
presented with a beautiful wardrobe
trunk as a token of the appreciation
of the Boyology class. Harry Stan
ton making the presentation spceeb,
by Judge Davis Freeman. Vcrv Rev.
Fr. Eugene, O.S.B , and W. M. Baghy
Savannah boy scout executive. There
were various entertainment features,
one of the most amusing being a
burlesque on tbe course ‘Catol-
ogy,” very cleverly rendered.
It was originally scheduled to have
the course given by Brother Barna
bas of Notre Dame University, but
his health made it impossible for
him to come and Mr. Becker was
sent from Notre Dame for the work.
He proved himseif to be a most
capable instructor, and the results
of his course will be permanent in

together men of various walks of
life, men of various positions, men
of different creeds, “a cross section
of Savannah,” as Father Eugene ex
pressed it. These men met for Oiree
hours each night for ten . nights,
completing the intensive course in
thirty hours. One of the most re
markable features of the course was
an address by R. K. Atkinson of New
York, boy psychologist, who came
down to deliver his masterful dis
course The graduates in Savannah
numbered ten more than those of
Green Bay, Wisconsin, after a recent
course there. On motion of Jerome
P. Eckstein, a committee of fivc was
appointed by Grand Knight Maggioni
to set a date on which the graduates
of the course are to meet and form
a permanent organization.

ogy at the banquet were:

burg Council, Knights of Columbus,

Mexico Broke Agreement
in Expelling Archbishops
Secretary of State Had
Promised to Discuss Dif
ferences Before Acting.
(Continued from Page One.)
permission for Dean Peacock to re
main in the country aHhough the
Dean bad signed a letter agreeing
not to exercise his ministry. Bishop
Creighton and Rev. Mr. Thompson
are reported to have refused to sign
such an agreement. The pending
expulsion of the ministers is said to
have aroused much feeling among
Protestant members of the American
colony.
The American investigators who
visited Mexico were badly fooled
Bishop Francis Clement Kelly of
Oklahoma City, an authority on Mex
ico, declared in a letter published
recently in the Daily Oklahoma
answering an article by Rev, Mr. Fox
of the committe. “Is it not strange
lo hear Mr. Fox condemn us on one
hand for keeping the Mexican people
in ignorance and on the other for
violating (he law by giving them
schools? ’ Bishop Kelly asks.
A resolution introduced into the
House of Representatives by Repre
sentative John J. Boylan of New
Y'ork would authorize and direct
Secretary of State “if not incompat
ible with the public interest to
furnish to the House of Represen
tatives at the earliest possible mo
ment such data and information as
he may have in respect to the ex
pulsion from Mexico of Most Rev.
George J. Caruana, a citizen of the
United States, who was visiting Mex
ico and who in any wav violated
any of the provisions of the consti
tution of that country by exercising
his ministeral office.”
Most Rev. Michael J. Curley, D.D,
Archbishop of Baltimore, continuing
his articles in the Baltimore
Catholic Review, protests the latest
development in Mexican persecution
saying that “one would imagine
that be (Archbishop Caruana) had
lost his American citizenship by
reason of his ecclesiastical position.”
“If it were a case of one-tenth of
this injustic being inflicted upon the
little handful Methodists in Mexico,
I have no doubt about our seeing tbe
Administration extremely active to
prevent the continuance of such a
persecution,” Archbishop Curley de
clared. “Tbe reason for the differ
ence . in treatment meted out to
twenty million Catholics and others
is that the others protest in the only
way in which a prolest reaches the
intelligence of a politician.”
