A Teacher Visits Toodyay Convent School Impressions and Reflections " What's that place?" Visitors always ask that question the first time the train brings them to Toodyay, unless, of course, they are too busy collecting luggage. A few ,cattered houses—and then a fine group of buildings comes into view, standing over opposite the Church, which is built with its back to the railway. Yoa can build a church up close tO the railway in Toodyay, where trains are rare But, perevough to be noticeable. haps, the church was not built close to the railway. It may be the other way round: if the church was there first, then the railway was built close to it. However the exact order is immaterial. Teaching in Pre-Union Pays. But it is interesting to leaoli that, where the Sanctuary is now, there used The to be a tiny Catholic School. Government paid the teacher A:20 a year; this, together with a small sum from the parish priest, and. Whatever the children brought, if anything, conOne. at least, stituted her earnings. of the women who taught in that little school is dead now; and surely her ieward in heaven is very great. For her lot here was unenviable: even then the time had gone past when one could be "passing rich at forty pounds a year." The Challenge. That was in the days 13;:ore the adoption of Western Australia of "education, free, compulsory and secular," threw upon Catholic taxpayers the extra burden of financing unaided their own education system. Catholics picked up the gauntlet—Gallipoti was not the first field, though it was the most spectacular—to witness with what spirit these casual, easy-going Australians can rise to the occasion in defence of something they value: with how much dashing pluck; with what flashes of dazzling brilliancy, with what labour and sustained effort, . as though each man adopted the cause as his very Education, "free, compulsory own.
and secular," was a shaft aimed at the Faith, not less deadly because conceived by an honest mind, patriotic, too, though blind to the true :nterests of the country. I n Defence of the Faith. Yes, the Faith was in danger, and Catholics must take their stand. They did: and to their heroism the schools dotted all over this vast State bear witness. No martyr's blood has reddened the soil of this dear country, but who shall "ay that the Australian Church has not its martyrs? What is martyrdom if not supreme self-sacrifice in defence of the Faith taught by the Church which Jesus Christ founded? And, if anyone asks where are our martyrs, we can point to many who could qualify by this test. Among them are holy priests and nuns and brothers who have poured out their very lives in the cause of Catholic education, like the precious ointment which Magdeline poured upon the head of Jesus, filling the house with fragrance. And there are others in our own day who follow in their footsteps. A Setting for the Pearl of Great Price. And there is besides that vast army of men and women who, in a quiet, unassuming way. and as a matter nt course, have contributed to the building up of our Catholic system of eduSometimes they have given cation. of their plenty and God, who has in store a reward for even a cup of cold water given in h is Name, will not forBut mostly our schools get them. have been built and are sustained at

There are fathers and mothers —we have all met them--who would give their lives, if necessary, to pass on the Faith untarnished to their children. They know that faith and piety flourish nowhere so vigorously as in a Ca. 410E0 school, where the very atmosphere is saturated with Catholicism. Hence they believe that they do no more than their duty when they lead hard, comfortless lives in order to send their boys and girls to Catholic boarding schools, whose faith might otherwise die of starvation in a bush State school ,or in a too-busy home. Yet are their lives so comfortless, after all? Bereft they are certainly of material comforts, but they have Divine Grace to aid them. Day by day their humdrum lives bear testimony that Christ is the Son of God, and if they lie down at last with quiet confidence to die, it is because they have striven
something of the true value of immortal souls. And, if we carry this economic metaphor further, we may say that often even future self-sacrifice is mortgaged—when schools are built with borrowed money, in the 'confident hope that God will provide the means of paying debts so incurred. mperishable Monuments. I Solid monuments, these and durable, but they are not the only monuments to the self-sacrifice of 'Catholics, nor the chief ones. When they shall have crumbled to dust, unnumerable souls, won from Satan, will give glory -to God through all eternity. They are the crowning triumph, these saved souls, the characteristic fruits of our system of education: they are its real monuments. and not these rooms and halls and playing fields, these books and desks, these material things which our eyes can see.

Yes, Catholic schools are monuments to the self-sacrifice of our' people—living monuments. Their bricks and mortar have been paid for by past efforts; they are self-sacrifice capitalised. As with,the fixed "capital," so with the floating: year by year working expenses are met by the current self-sacrifice of parents and others Who realise
Unpeopled Schools. That is why, I su,ppose, a school such an incongruous place in holiday time, when it is unpeopled. It is as though you came upon an elaborate machine which stood there and stood there, but could never be made to go. At least ,that is the odd feeling which came over me when I visited Toodyay Convent School for the first time.

They said, "What an extraordinarily vivid. persprial manner this new writer has of saying things!" They spoke entirely of how he spoke, o f how quaintly. or even gretesquely. he expressed himself. They were struck by something new and amazing about the fashion of his speech. They never knew what startling phrase he would use next, what shattering image would he thrown before their ?.res. A new conjurer of words had come into their world, and they knew not what to do about it. In their desperation they called him "brilliant" and declared roundly that he was full of promise.

In the end they had to turn from the manner to the matter and then the c ritics experienced a slight shock. Mr. c hesterton was not saving what they wanted him to say. He was not repeating all the 'mart n -ithings iife the rest of the "brilliant" boys- of his day. He was not coining empty epigrams in the fashion of the 'nineties, or shining with a decadent light over a particular night world of his own. He was saying very things about the world and its ways and (0 reckless prophet!) savir. 7 that lustice should be had, even vio poor peaple.

Like the grerat Dr. Johnson, he could give an argument to his critics, but he could not give them- an understanding and, lacking that, they could only feel that he was not keeping pace with his original promise. All the time, of course, he was deYeloping in the only way he had ever promised to develop, and moving rapidly towards his real slestinathn
that sense, certainly, G. K. C. is wasted. The last, and also, perhaps, the first gladiator whom Chesterton met was, of course, Bernard Shaw. But it is hardly realised what was G. K. C's achievement in this case. It was Chesterton Before who set the limits on Shaw. his coming. Shaw was the Superman himself. He was a law unto himself. There was nobody to match him in deadly debating skill, or for that matAny ter, in any sort of argument. man who had the temerity to go out against Shaw went out to be slaughtered. Whether the point were general or particular, whether it concerned the philosophy of life or .omeone's special study, it was fatal to come up against Shaw. He could say what he liked and get away with it. Then, out of the unknown, came the huge Chesterton, and Shaw was faced immediately with an opponent worthy of his steel.

It was to be traced in the succession of articles and books, which made the critics shake their heads over the original promise and mutter a despairing "brilliant!" And the whole business went forward with such good humour and good argument, such a feast of wit and riot of jokes. that it was a capital entertainment as well as an open-air lesson. When it began. Catholics were rather a suspected body, but before it has ended they already _seem a much more tolerable, if not human, crowd In short.

A Teacher Visits Toodyay Convent School (Continued from Page .2 ' Parallel with the dormitory are the girls' cubicles, also the bathrooms and other conveniences, which here, as in the boys' quarters, fortify the impression that the school is as well equipped in every way as the up-to-date city boarding schools.

Space and Health. That is what strikes you especially about Toodyay School—the spaciousness of the whole establishment, the way buildings are scattered about, as with the large gesture of one who scorned to economise space. That is one thing. and another as striking is the healthy out-of-door life the ,boys .and girls can lead, and the wholesome food they must eat. v.-here there are cows and hens in plenty.

St. Patrick's Branch, Perth, H.A.C.B.S. The usual fortnightly meeting of the above branch was held in the Cathedral Hall on Thursday, 18th. inst., the President. Bro. R. W. Woollcott, being in the chair. Sick pay, amounting to £5, was passed for payment to five members. Correspondence included a notification of the annual meeting of the United Friendly Societies' Medical Institute on February 17; a letter from the General Secretary, intimating that a member had attained the age of 68 years. and was entitled to relief from contributions to the sick and funeral fund: a letter from Rev. Father Kelly, approving of the 9 o'clock Mass on Sunday, February 18, at the Cathedral, for the Quarterly Communion, and expressing a desire to help the branch in e very way he could; and a letter from the Social and Sports Committee. regarding the annual picnic, to be held at Point Walter on Sunday, February 11. In the course of reports, it was stated that the river trip, held on Friday, January 12, had proved a most enjoyable outing. The date and time for the Quarterly Communion have now been fixed, as indicated above, namely, Sunday, February 18, at the 9 o'clock Mass. As it is expected that many members from the suburbs will be attending, it was considered that the 7 o'clock Mass would be too early; and further, as trains do not commence to run until 9 a.m. on Sundays. members would have difficulty in returning after the Mass.

"I HE RECORD. member of the branch who desires to attend the Communion, and who lives too far from the Cathedral to walk, is requested to notify the secretary mediately, as a limited amount of motor transport is available, and early arrangements must be made to ensure irclusion. It is desi ed that as large an attendance as possible be registered on this occasion, whioh represents the resumption of a most important spiritual duty on the part of the lot nch. Members are requested to give their whole-hearted support to the anneal Hibernian Picnic, which will he held at Point Walter on 3undav, Fel-:ruary 11. Single tickets are 1/6, and family tickets 4s. each. Th-: s.s. -Perth" has been engaged, and a bright sports programme has been arranged .

Father Talbot's picture is called "Through the Centuries," and is a new screen venture in the Catholic field. It is said to be a wonderful demonstration of the Catholic idea operating from the days of Our Lord up to the present. It is claimed that no lecture or sermon merely .iescribing the fulfilment of Our Lord's word- "Go, teach all nations," could do what this picture has done, on the screen it happens. "Through the Centuries" has a ttracted large audiences.

Educational Disabilities "The child is father of the man," said Wordsworth, and the poet's ideal of binding together his days, "each to each in natural piety," is the ideal of the Church and its educational system, Only in a higher and more supernaturalised degree. The Educational Conference of Teachers —which opens during the week—once again recalls to us the problems of our educational system. As all the world knows, the Catholic Church can have nothing to do with the purely secular or State system of education ,which divorces religion from learning, and morality from metaphysics. For that reason I, cannot avail of the much vaunted "free" education which is the boast of the secular system. There can be no "freedom" in a sy., tern which prevents the greater part of its subjects frotn availing of it. through Conscientious and religious motives. There can he no freedom \N;ithout freedom of conscience, and that is just precisely what Catholics have not. But the Church, which was refused a free education from the -, t.2.te, set about to establish it from wit4in. In addition to paying her share of the State educational system, she built up a complete syriern of her own, built her own schools, provided her own teachei;,—vocational religious teachers in the highest sense of the woi d--who could be depended upon to "seek first the Kingdom of God and Pis justice." and still hope without presumption that all things else would he added unto them Of course, all this entailed much sacrifice, but it has met with its own reward.. The Catholic .,chouls 11:ive not only safeguarded the essentials, but they have successfully competed with the State subsidised schools on thei:. own grounds All credit and honour to the teachers who are now to mcet in conclave. Apart from that fundamental disability of lack of freedom of conscience, which has compelled Catholics to build and staff their own schools, there are still many obstacles placed in the way of supporting them. One would think that the State would be grateful to Catholics for saving it the expense of educating their children, and that at least equal treatment might be meted out in the matter of allocation of State scholarships. But such is not the case. With the people's money—Catholic and non-Catholic alike—the State grants scholarships to deserving pupils to enable them to complete a course of secondary education. Now, instead of allowing these scholarships to he held at all recognised secondary schools, it practically excludes the Catholic recognised secondary schools altogether, for whilst there is an unlimited supply of country scholarships to High schools, there are only ten available to (1:-.notiiinational. A Catholic boy may compete for, and win, a State scholarship, but he may not avail of it at a Catholic school. Could anything be more unjust or intolerant? A Catholic boy may avail of a five years' scholarship at the High School or the Modern, but not at the Catholic. If that boy objects to the non-Catholic school on conscientious grounds, he must suffer the consequences and forego the privilege of a free secondary education. So much for our Government's much vaunted catch-cry of free education Another problem arises from the consideration of the foregoing. Shoukl the Catholic avail of the State scholarship, or should he forego it? For there is only one alternative at present. The Catholic schools —already overburdened with their own essential needs—cannot be looked to to supply the defect in the matter of C atholic scholarships Or, at least, not wholly. For Catholic secondary schools have already done much in this regard. Many of t heir secondary pupils are freely taught—out of a charitable consideration of their financial position. But while they may supply hooks and tuition free, it would he impossible to pay for board and lodging in the case of country pupils. If they cannot do this, it would seem that there is no other alternative open to many Catholic boys than to avail of the State scholarships And so they have been doing. Every year the cream of our Catholic pupils pass on to the non-eatholic schools, for the sake of the necessary though despicable mess of pottage. That in itself is a.g-reat loss to the Catholic secondary schools. From the religious point of view, it is also risky. Between the ages of 13 and 18 the formative proce6s of building up character is still in the making, and must of necessity suffer much from lack of the Catholic atmosphere of a Catholic school. If Catholics have already made such sacrifices in the cause of primary education. it would seem a pits- that their efforts should fall short, or run the danger of being nullified, in the cause of secondary. Yet that is what the present position would seem to indicate. Is there, then, any feasible remedy available It would appear not. It is too much to expect that Catholic schools, already overburdened, should supply the defect, in the secondary system. They are doing more than their share in this respect already. But perhaps some public-minded Catholic might step in to heal the breach and supply the defect by sponsoring scholiirship5; for Catholic boys, and thus save them from the clangers of the secular system. It would he a meritorious gesture on the part of our better placed citizens, and one that would undoubtedly prove of immense value tO the temporal and spiritual welfare of our Catholic pupils and Catholic schools. Perhaps Dr. McMahon and his educational Conference might be able to throw further light on this difficult problem.

sum of L21,458 for the maintenance of our Catholic schools, and had twice that sum been required, I know you would willingly have endeavoured to provide it," said His Lordship Dr. McCarthy, speaking to a crowded meeting in St. Killian's Hall, Bendigo, when he inaugurated the annual effort on behalf of the schools of the Diocese of Sandhurst. Every year, he continued, we spend two t-housand pounds from our meagre treasury to support our "There are Catholic schools. Why? secondary interests in life, quite legitimate and praiseworthy, but they are only secondary, and when they impede that primary duty of man, they conflict with the interests of men and the rights of God, and become immoral The Church maintains that all authority comes from God; that all human conduct is a matter that interests God very much because we are His crea. tures; that all our actions must be in harmony with the will of God, or they are in vain, for 'he that is not with Me We were created to is against Me.' serve God, and no matter what else we may do, if we fail in our primary duty to Him, our lives will have been worse than failures. Hence, religion, the science that leads us towards God along the path of right conduct, is the most important element in the life of man. Yet, in a State that professes to be Christian we are committed to a programme of education that caters for every human need or pleasure, and yet ignores the most important aspect of man's earthly life. Our children are taught the importance of everything in life except the most important thing of all: they may be taught who built the Panama Canal. but they may not learn who made the world; they may learn the danger of unhealthy drains 'but they may not hear the iniquity of sin; they may study the life of Ma. hornet or Julius Caesar. but they will not hear in our State schools the history of the Saviour Who died for their salvation. Here, then." concluded the Bishop. "is the reason why Catholics set such value on the religious education of their children; why they think no sacrifice too great for the maintenance of religious schools: here is the reason why you. the Catholic people of Bendigo, are assembled in this hall, to take tip once more the heavy burden of financing our splendid schools You know the value of immortal souls: you know that Jesus Christ died that they might be saved: you know that they cannot know Him unless they are taught, and you are ready to do your share to make that teaching possible."

H.A.C.B. Society St. Teresa Branch, Queen's Park. The branch's initial meeting for 193-1 was held on the 17th. inst., after a month's recess, when Bro. A. Winton presided over an exceptionally good attendance of members. In the course of the evening, Sr. N. Russell was ceremoniously initiated. and Miss A. Logan was proposed for initiation. Such an encouraging commencement of the new Year's activities makes us very sanguine as to the branch's progress in this year of grace. In the regrettable absence of Sr. M. Giles, on the motion of Bro. B. Hastie, Bro, K. Winton was elected as acting warden for the evening. Bro. Aitken's report of the S. and S. Committee meeting was accepted and discussed, also a report of the river trip held on the 12th. inst. A letter expressing the branch's deep sympathy in their recent sad bereavement was sent to Srs. A. and M. and Bro. A. Giles. • The question of entertainment of members at the meetings was raised, and it was finally deemed advisable to select a committee ,comprising the president, secretary, and five members, to attend to this matter. The importance of the social side of a branch cannot be over-estimated, and the object of the committee is to promote and preserve a truly fraternal and happy spirit among old and new members alike. thus retaining their active interest and support. Bro. Winton closed the meeting with the usual prayers, after which, in view of the extreme heat w ithin, all adjourned out of doors. where a very strenuous but wholly enjoyable evening was spent. St. Malachis Branch, Highgate Hill. A special meeting of St. Malachi"1 Branch was held on Wednesday. the 17th. inst., Sister McGillicuddy- presiding over a very good attendance of members The General Secretary and Bro. Geo. Creighton. D.B.M. were present for the purpose of explaining the plan for the avorganisation of the branch. Two nominations for membership were received, and the prospects are good for a rapid increase not only in the numerical strength but also in the enthusiasm and keenness of the members. Highgate parishioners are invited to enquire as to the aims of and the benefits accruing from membership of the Society. A general knowledge in this regard would certainly result in a great influx of new members. There will be at least two nominations at the meeting on Wednesday next, the 31st. inst. Old members who have been for some time past content to pay their contributions but abstain from any active interest in the branch, are appealed to to now lend their aid in building up the Society in Highgate Hill. St. Joachim's Branch. Victoria Park. The first meeting of the new year was held on Monday. the 15th, inst. The President (Bro. Egan) presided over a small attendance of members, which looks as though all the new Year resolutions are beginning to fade already-well, a bad start is usually a good finish. The president extended to all members the best of wishes for a happy and prosperous new year, and congratulated the WA. Catholic Lawn Tennis Association on their meritorious victory and splendid organisation of their recent carnival, and the gocin work they are doing for the Church His remarks were warmly supported by Dean Brennan ind Bro.

The half-yearly balance sheet was read ,and showed a very sat
isfactory state of affairs. The small. attendance did not in any way curtail the length of the meeting, and as Bro. Walsh appealed for shorter and brighter meetings, Bro. Goerke moved that in future the formal business of meetings shall be completed by 9.15 p.m. unless an extension of time be granted, and as it was resolved that all -meetings should start at 8 p.m. sharp, members will have to be prompt in future and have their say before 9.15, which will leave the balance of the evening f or social functions. The president appealed to members to attend regularly, and try and get new members. There was no initiation last meeting. Murphy promises a bagful for the next one. The next meeting night has been postponed till Wednesday, January 31. on account of the holiday. so make it Wednesday at 8 p.m. sharp Social and Sports Committee. The following branches were represented by their delegates at the meeting held on 19th. inst.: Subiaco, Queen's Park, District Board, St . Patrick's, West Perth, South Perth. Victoria Park, Maylands. and Leeclerville. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and confirmed on the motion of Bros. Killeen and Savage. The river trip, held on Friday, 12th. inst., was well attended, the weather. being exceptionally warm. The "Valkvrie" left at 8.15 p.m.. and at 9.30 dropped anchor while supper was partaken of and a programme of musical sinel elocutionary items was enjoyed. Members of the West Australian Farm. ers' Debating Club were the guests of the District Board.

Aunt Bessy's Nieces and Nephews _ SUFFER THE LITTLE CHILDREN TO COME UNTO ME. ( On Monday evening, January 15, two of "The Three Little Browns," a trio of small soldiers who had done excellent work for the Bushies' Brigade during 1933, were accidentally drowned in the Bayswater portion of the Swan River, whither, after many pleadings on their part, their mother had taken them to bathe. ' Raymond, aged eight, and Lesley, aged eleven, went into a few feet ot water ,while their mother and Rodney, 'their brother, looked on from the 1.ank, and in the enjoyment of their fun Lesley called, "Watch me dive Mummy!" making, at the same time, a dive towards her brother. Almost immediately the children were in difficulties, and Lesley, realising her brother's danger, made courageous efforts to rescue Their mother, fully clress,d, him. plunged in after the little one calling to their brother on the bank to run and fetch help, but her valiant efforts to save the children were in vain, and their bodies began to float rapidly on 'Vhen help came. beyond her reach. the children had disapneared and Mrs. Brown was on the verge of collapse, she being the only eye-witness of their actual drowning.

truth of that assertion. There was a breathlessness, an eagerness about "The Trio" that made itself felt at all times, and small wonder if their mother yielded to their wish for a bathe in that river so near to their home, so familiar to them, so calm and friendly and safe Who, but God, could know looking. that the Angel of Death was hovering abve its waters to claim two of her Suffer the little children treasures? Did the waters of to come to Me! the Swan hear the Voice of their Creator and hasten to obey it? Who knows, who knows?
and I still like to think she told no fairy-tale. I like to think it more since the tragic happening of January 15th., for I picture two of my three little Browns looking through them on those they loved ,and those, too, who loved them. Ilike to think that they are saying to us all. "Don't you be fretting about us down there, for we have joined the Company of Angels and we have no wish to rejoin the Company of Men." And last night I looked to the stars and thought of them being the peep holes of Heaven, and I wished that Les.
An Offering and a Proviso During the week I was presented note for our Bushies, the with a donation being given with the proviso that I get "A Fiver" a month during 1934 from separate benefactors, and if at the end of the year I have fulfilled my part of the contract I have been led to believe
that he who has given the start will crown the results with another "Fiver." I feel shaky about my chances, but faint heart never won fair lady, and I beg to remind anyone who intends to be the February donor that there are only twentyeight days in that month this year.

Alas for the radiance of our summer sun that had turned from sunbeam" into shadow before its course had set! The sod of the grave is yet too newly turned to nurture the green of friendly grasses and clover, but loving hands have covered it with flowers as white and still as the childish forms beneath, while loving hearts of the two children's dear ones, and pitying hearts of strangers bemoan the recent tragedy and grieve that it happened so. Lesley and Raymond are now no more, and those who remain to mourn their loss have a pang and a wound of desolation that only God's grace can heal. Lesley and Raymond are now no more, who only a few brief weeiKs ago, were full of the joy of living, full of a thousand dreams of castles they intended to build in the New Year. but from all eternity the Angel of Death had been appointed to gather them under his wings on the fifteenth day of January ,and had he not heard the voice of His Master saying, "Suffer the little children to come unto Me. and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of Heaven?" God's ways are not our ways, and His mercy hides from us the secret ways in which He will weave our lives Into His long thought-out designs. So. on that Monday evening when three little children coaxed their mother into bringing them down to the river, only the watchful Omnipotent God knew thrt the childish trio would be broken before the dusk. T am thinking of "The Trio" as I write—"The Three Little Browns," who came running into my Corner last year. all eager to join the Brigade for the Busbies, and to get busy with the;r cards. Many a month ago I christen. ed them "The Three Little Eager Hearts." for, as soon as they received a card, it was back next day with the cash and request for another, and, if perchance I was slow in posting it off, the scribe of the Trio (was it my Les"Watch me dive.

COUNTERFEIT COINS AND OBSOLETE NOTES. limmeiee
At this time, when a great many A ustralians are making holiday trips overseas, it is advisable to issue a warning to such tourists to only obtain their foreign money from reputable bankers who deal in foreign exchange. There are many perfectly penuine notes and coins in circulation which no longer have a monetary value, as certain issue decrees declaring all notes or c oins of a certain date valueless. Thos Cook and Son (Bankers i Ltd., have just received a notice issued by their London Office in December, warning them that the Bank of France has notified the French Press to the effect that five and ten franc French notes will he withdrawn from circulation after the 31st. December. 1933. and that they will cease to be legal tender after that date. Cooks have also just received a warning from their Singapore office, which is of considerable importance to the large number of tourists at present leaving here for Java and Singapore. This warning is to the effect that-a large number of counterfeit Dutch silver gulden pieces have appeared in circulation, all bearing the date 1931. It is well known that unscrupulous money-changers, hotel touts, etc.. are fond of disposing of such coins by giving them to unsuspecting tcrerrists.
