THE SPANISH MAELSTROM Robles' Great Work and the Youth Movement ENGLISH LIBERALISM AND THE PRESS so famous in Catholic history, has just issued from the midst of a stormy election campa• tt, the result of which may be r v i for the faith of that Ca:holic land.

Eight major revolts have •-' ' . of which the most , • ate WAS the Marxist revolui•-n of October. 1934. when more than 2,500 people were killed. There have been 9,000 strikes and more than 200 cht.rches and convents have been destroyed in bitter hatred of the Catholic faith. The dissolved Parliament met on November 19. 1933. It marked a great Catholic reaction. The Spanish people, whose passive endurance of religious persecution and of anti-Catholic propaganda had scandalised the world, had been stirred into activity by the forces of Catholic Activists and. under the inspiring leadership of Senor Gil Robles, dealt a resounding blow to the united front of Socialists and Communists. The hitherto weak Right won 207 seats, of which 115 fell to the lot of Robles' party. For twelve months this remarkable leader refused to enter the Cabinet. When he did enter the revolt broke out in the- Asturias. He proved himself a good statesman of sane vision and of calm in a troubled land and won the favour and loyalty of the army as a War Minister of genius and of character. Comparative rest prevailed and solid work was being done to lay firm the foundation of stable rule. But those in high
GIL ROBLES.
The recent Spanish elections, which resulted in a victory for the Republicans of the Left Wing and for Senor Azana at the head of a Left Wing Cabinet ,is not, at first sight, reassuring for the work of the Church in Spain. Despite the rosy e.lection promises of Azana regarding "a policy of liberality," etc., his record is a bad one. A Freemason and a Radical, he was r esponsible for the turmoil and religious persecution which culminated in the Catholic victory of December, 1933. He was the formulator also of the anti-Catholic constitution of the constituent Cortes, which was in force until December 10 of last year. Yet Azana is faced with a resolute and brilliant opponent in Gil Robles. What Spain has suffered in recent years and what Gil Robles has done for the Catholic cause is outlined below. _ hie of their rn st promising —the Juventud de Accion Popu.peakers is a young ironworker. lar (Popular Action Youth)-while youthful farmers and congregated to hear an open air t radesmen capably dischss econo- Mass near the Ucles monastery mics and politics with university a few miles from Toledo. whitI professors.

places would not have it so. Robles withdrew from the Cabinet and a Ministry with tendencies to the Left was created. At about the same time the question of the reform of the Constitt.tion became urgent. This Constitution is anti-Catholic. The amendment of it required up to the 9th. of last December a majority of two-thirds in the Cortes. After that date a bare majority would suffice. The Left failed in the attempt to break lip the alliance of the Right parties .and prevailed upon President Zamora to dissolve the Cortes. While Gil Robles is brilliantly leading the .Confederation of the Right in the Cortes he has not neglected the organisation of Catholic Youth in the country. In 1.100 parish centres the Juventud has been organised. although it is only about two years old. Before Papal Nuncio in Spain.

Speaking oi die leader of the Catholk Agrarian Popular party • Senor Gil Robles, this writer says "Gil Robles has always professed moderate Liberal tendencies and a horror of the sort r-f direct action attempted by the Left in 1934 and again contemplated this year. Whether, in view of Gil Robles' Jesuit upbringing, these pr4fessions should 1* taken seriatudy, is another matter." The infamous suggestton is obvious —that a man brought up by the jeslits is not to be trusted, and that he is necessarily a black reactionary. Mr. Burdett is not game to stand up and say.

SWIMMING C.B.O. SPORTS. THREE TITLES TO B. PEMBER. The annual swimming sports oi the Christian Brothers' College were held at the Crawley Baths on Wednesday night. February 26, before a large crowd of scholars, ex-scholars and parents. There were over 20 events, including handicaps and championships, and an exhibition of (living by some of the State's best exponents. Bromley House won the Prendergast Cup by securing first place in the House Relay over 385 yards, covering The the distance in 4inin. 37sec. teams of six were composed of the leading swimmer in each House at each age level. On the evening's results, which decided the College's representatives for the inter-school swimming sports, B. Pember was an out. standing performer. He won the 110 yards under 15 championship, the 220 yards championship under 16, and the open 440 yards championship. The under 16 leader was J. Franklyn. The most successful competitors in the other classes were B. Pember and D. Murray (under 15), N. Kennedy (under 14), M. Johnson (under 13), and R. Ballantyne (under 12). The surprise of the evening was the defeat of J Brophy and J. Dolin by P. Kennedy in the open 55 yards breaststroke championship. This year competitors swam 53 yards and 110 yards instead of 50 yards and 100 yards as previously. At the conclusion of the sports the Reverend Brother Nelson handed the captain of Bromley House (E.

Annual Hibernian Picnic
Third Order of St. Francis of Assisi
Subiaco News
Last :',unday was an ideal day for a picnic, and at 11 a.m. the s.s. Perth left the Barrack-street jetty to convey over iour hundred picnicers to Point Walter, where the Hibernian annual outing was to be held. On arrival at the Point the picnickers lust no time in selecting the shady spots, there to enjoy their lunches. During the afternoon a 11=1ber of members and friends arrived per cars, and members who had not met fur months, and in some cases for years, chatted happily together. Lucky bags and ginger beer were distributed to the children and even the "big chi1. dren" enjoyed the icy cold beverage. The spurting events for children and adults were keenly contested, and all races recorded large entries. Much interest was displayed in the novelty event, "throwing at the wicket." The following are the results of the adults' programme: Inter-Branch Relay Race: St. Joachim's, 1, St. Lawrence O'Toole, 2. Married Ladies' Race: Mrs. liegney. t : Mrs. Kehoe, 2. Novelty Race: Miss T. Hanrahan and K. Kehoe, 1; Miss McGillicuddy and J. Harvey, 2. H-A.C.B.S. Handicap, 100 Yards: Bro. Wooltorton (Queen's Park), 1: tiro.

Finnegan congratulated the committee on the success of the annual picnic. and thanked the people for their attendance. The committee sincerely thank the members who worked so hard to secure the attendance of the members and their friends, and alsh the members who acted as officials. Among those present were Bro. Hynea, National Treasures and 'Pro. Brown. National Secretary.
PERTH FRATERNITY. "Deus Maus et Omnia." Tertiaries of St. Francis are remind. ed that, on account of the quarterly Conference of the St. Vincent de Paul Socieyt, which takes place next Sunday, March 1, their mionthly meeting It has been postponed to March 8 has been found necessary to make this alteration, as many tertiaries are also members of the St. Vincent de Paul Society, and several hold special offices in the various conferences. It is to be hoped that this necessary alteration will not interfere in any way with a good attendance of tertiaries at the postponed meeting on the second Sunday in March ,and that all through the penitential time of Lent tertiaries will also remember the penitential ideals of their holy founder, St Francis.
On Tuesday last, 25th. inst., the weekly bridge evening conducted by the St. Vincent de Paul Society in aid of the church, was well patronised ae All keen players of bridge usual. are cordially invited to come along and spend an enjoyable evening at Sts Jos. eph's Hall.
THE CATHOLIC PRESS. The position of the Catholic Press was referred to by the Archbishop Westminster. of Most Rey. Dr. Hinsley, at the Catholic Press Exhibition preview in the Cathedral Hall. Westminster. "In 1922,- said His Grace. "the Holy Father declared St. Francis of Sales the special Patron of all Catholic writers and journalists. The purpose of this Exhibition is to be a stimulus to Catholic writers and to Catholic readers: to Catholic writers, editors, authors, who will surely learn from one another and be able-through mutual exchange of ideas and methods, and even by mutual emulation in zeal-to improve their work for the great Apostolate of the Press; and to Catholic readers, who vill he struck by the quality of the work done. and thus realise their obligation of supporting the Catholic Press better than they do, or have done. Do not let Catholics any longer sav: 'The Catholic Press is not up to standard-it is inferior, therefore, we do not support it.' What Pius XI. wants us to say is: 'If the Catholic Press is not so good as it might be, if it is not equal to the secular. which has such a deep and well-lined pocket, it is because we do not support it properly.'" 46 3-5sec.

St. Mary's Tennis Club he annual general meeting of members was held at the president's residence on Thursday, the 20th. inst., there having been a splendid attendance of members. The club was honoured by the presence of the newlyelected president of the Catholic Tennis Association, Mr. W. Stainthorpe, the immediate past president, Mr. Pm Tully, vice-president Mr. D. A. McGillivray, the newly-elected secretary. MrEric De Luca, and several visitors The president exfrom other clubs. tended a very cordial welcome to the president and the other officers, and congratulated Mr. Stainthorpe sincerely on having been appointed to the important office of president of the Association. Mr. Stainthorpe, in acknowledging the welcome, thanked the members for having elected him and asked for the assistance and co-operation of the clubs during his term of office in order that the Association may still further progress and extend its influence for good as an important Catholic organisation. The report, which was read by the secretary, showed that the year was one of t-ery great progress for the club: the most important phase of the report being that which referred to the ac quisition of the new ground and the laying of four courts. The membership had increased from 44 to M. and the members had manifested a very lively and keen interest in the club's affairs. The finances also were in a satisfactory condition. The election of officers resulted as follows: President. Mr. J. Edwards, senr.: vice-presidents, Messrs. S Smvthe and V. McConville: secretary. Mr. Kevin Keating; treasurer.

Last Tuesday evening at S o'clock the Subiaco Study Circle held its weele• ly meeting. Miss Curran read a most interesting paper on the Nature and Probative Force of Miracles and Pro. phecies. It is encouraging for those interested in the Study Circle Movement to see the keen interest taken la the particular and general discussion. St. Joseph's Church certainly lived up to its reputation on Ash Wednesday, when several hundred were present at Mass and Holy Communion. On Wednesday evening last Mrs C. O'Nfahony was admitted to St. Jobs of God's Hospital to undergo a slight operation. The parishioners of Subiaco. Wacobley. and Rosalie are reminded that next Thursday evening there will be a welcome home to Monsignor Vetting in St. Joseph's Hall, and all who can possibly do so are most cordially vited to be present at an enjoyable musical evening, which is the manner of the parishioners' welcome. .rre to Nfonstgn, yr Veiling.

Why A Central Catholic Librar ?
The Power of the Printed Word. When you open your daily paper and glance through its pages you will find more advertisements than news. The advertisements are of all sizes, ranging from the double page illustrated to one plain line. Now, consult the advertising rates, and calculate the huge sum spent on advertisements in one issue alone of your paper. The heads a our big firms are eminently practical men. They realise to what an extent people are influenced by what they read. If people were not affected by what they read our papers would rapidly dwindle in size and go bankrupt through lack of ad. vertisements. The plain fact is that all of us are influenced by what we read to a greater extent than we care to admit; and this not only in buying and selling, but in what we think and do. How often it happens that people will give you, as their own considered opinion, some item from the leading article of their daily paper. No one will deny the enormous power of the press in moulding and directing public opinion Think of the last elections. Books and Bayonets. What is true of the daily press is true also of books. The power of the book ie greater and more lasting than the power of the bayonet, for books often lletermine in what cause and in what way the bayonet is to be used. Father Daniel Lord, S.J., has described the power of the book so well that we make no apology for quoting him at length: "We see Aristophanes laughing Grecian abuses out of existence. We see Cervantes:, with 'Don Quixote' driving the lance into a decadent chivalry. 'Unck Tom's Cabin' fanned the flames of national hatred so high that Lincoln could say to its author, *so this is the little lady who started this big war.' We see Dickens furiously writing his novels in the confident expectation that they would wipe out the abuses of brutal boarding schools and of poor houses and chancery courts. . . Men have somehow felt that books do matter. Without 'Set ence and Health,' how far would Chris, tian science have gone Without 'The Intimate Story of a Soul' we might never have heard of the 'Little Flower.' I rather fancy that 'The Following of Christ' has had some slight effect on mantand for good, and few would say that the 'Decameron' hasn't polluted at least one human mind. And don't you think that his. tory gives rather an important place to books like the Bible, the Koran. the Vedas?" "Luther preached. . . But he accomplished the largest part of his work when he learned te use the relatively new printing press to flood all Germany with his translatione, his tracts. his pamphlets and books. Men read and were by his powerful German, his coarse wit, his ruthless invective, swept away. out of the Church of their fathers, into the f".hitrch he had f ounded." "Voltaire inundated France with his writinee His books and pamphlets assailed the nobility and attacked the church so ruthlessly and viciously that the Revolution was inevitable. Rousseau and the Encyclopaedists followed his lead, 'and wrote, wrote. wrote. Men read, believed, grew furious with wrath. built the guillotine, decapitated the King of France and drove th, f7hurch into bloody exile. . .

"Where does all this talk about a 'new morality' originate: all this ferment over free love and sex freedom and companionate marriage? From the hooks of Ibsen Havelock Ellis, and Ellen Kay. and latterly from those of Ben Lindsey. Bertrand Russell. and among ordinary people, from the stor iee of the incredible Elinor Glen." It was Napoleon. I think, who said. "The world is ruled by ideas."

More than that, you would probably find your mind perverted by false teachings and bespattered with filth Many of our modern novels—brilliant, entertaining. fascinating, at produced-are written by men whose avowed aim is often the destruction of Christian faith. Much modern fiction is simply .o,tninercialised filth. And when such books are not written for money alone, they are written to champion the muse of the "new morality:" or, to give it its true title, the old immoralite masquerading under a new name. The same holds true, to a great extent, of books with more serious pre. tensions in which materialism, atheism and false psychology are put for ward as the highest products of hu. man reason, and in which long exploded theories are proclaimed as axiomatic truths. There are books which lose no opportunity to sneer at and belittle the faith and everything supernatural. There are books written to undermine and destroy civilisation it. self. Choose Well! Now, why read books of the kind mentioned above? It is impossible to read everything You must choose. Why not choose something worth while? Useless. subversive and immoral books are as numerous as the sands of the sea. That is true But it is also true that there are MOM books dealing with every sphere of human activity, enough to keep you entertained and instructed so long as vou live There is no excuse for reading filth Dirty novels do not give you a true picture of life, any more than a picture of its'sewer would give you a true picture of a city. Neurotics and sex maniacs are not normal human beings. no not repeat the preposterous catch-word that "to the pure all things are pure." Which is
like saying that to the healthy there is no such thing as disease in the world. or that to the sinless Christ there was no such thing as sin. Every honest man knows that some things are filthy and immoral ,and no amount of sophistry can alter the fact. Read Catholic Books. It is, ot course, obvious that not e very good book is written by a Catholic, and conversely, that not every book by a Catholic author is a good book. Nevertheless, there are innumerable excellent books writen by Catholic authors, books which give the Catholic philcsophy of life, and in which you will find the Catholic solution of the great problems of the day. These are the books to read. The Catholic view of life is the only true view: the Catholic solution of the social question and of the other great questions of the day is the only solution which is wholly true You believe and know that the Catholic Church has the whole truth. Why not reduce your belief to practice? Christ Our Lord guaranteed that His Church would not teach error in matters of belief and morals; and "belief and morals" 'cover a vast field of clue* tions, including the social question. He has given no such guarantee to the daily papers, or to your political party leaders, or to your next door neigh. bout. or to the people who come to you with ready-made theories to solve all the world's ills.

In a ,recent issue of "The Record" appeared under the heading, "Do You Read Catholic Authors?" a long list of Catholic w riters. Readers would do well to cut out and keep this list for future reference. Unfortunately, many Catholic standard works are little known, moreover their cost is often so prohibitive that only a privileged few can afford to buy them. It must be admitted that there is reason in the coMplaint. often heard, that Catholic books are very dear. Still this is no excuse for not reading Catholic works, for there exists in Perth an institution which will enable you to secure some of the best Catholic literature at a cost which is a little more than nominal The Veritas Library (Central Catholic Library), 38 Pier•street.

THE RECORD.
f orfeited, the true dignity of the wife is forfeited, her health is impaired, marriage is degraded to a state of legalised sensual indulgence and increased divorces are the result of such conduct. "Catholic teaching robs marriage of its happiness. People marry for a mate; not for a cradle." Remember we are dealing with the law Or God. . The Church does not make the law. Meantime, those who are still Christians marry both for a .mate and for a cradle, begging God to bless their union with children. They do not marry for lust. There is something higher than that. And if they make use of their lawful privileges, they know they must not unlawfully hinder actively and deliberately the operation of natural laws.

After all, this life is not evervthinc, "You Priests do not know what it is to support a wife and family on a few pounds a week." We can know that without having a wife and children.

Boulder C.Y.M.S. The weekly meeting of the society was held in the Club Rooms, Hamil. ton-street, on Thrsday last. After the disposal of general business, our Spiritual Directod, the Rev. Dr. Goody, gave his usual short talk on Christian Doctrine. These lecturettes, which have been given in a very interesting and attractive way, have become quite popular, and if one may judge by the questions of members at the conclusion each night. then the time devoted by the spiritual director is having the desired effect. viz., that members shall become better instructed in the fundamentals of their faith, and, further. more, be in a position to defend it if and when necessary. At the close of the discussion Rev. Dr Goody invited those members whc had not yet had an opportunity of seeing the new presbytery, to accompany him to inspect his new home and As a number of the furnishingsmembers had not seen the interior of the new building, they readily accepted the invitation. On Thursday last the syllabus item for the evening was a lecture on Ca tholic Action by Dr. Daly-Smith, of A report of this lecture Eriltroorlie will appear next week.

Already, first class bitumen roads have been constructed to cover the whole length and breadth of the estate, and many fine residential areas have sprung into being almost overnight. Readily accessible by tram and bus, and of conveniently close proximity to the city and beach, it is no wonder that Wembley Park is fast becoming Perth's foremost suburb. Other important advantages include the minimum 50 feet frontage of all blocks, and the fine undulating land, most suitable for building sites.

THE RECORD OFFICIAL ORGAN OF' IHE ARCHDIOCESE OF PERTH. ESTABLISHED 1874
PERTH, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 29, 1936.
Vocational Training The opening of another academic year and the inauguration oi the Government's new term of office, may well be the occasion o f a long-delayed yet urgent examination of conscience on the subject of education. Since modern legislative authorities have taken unto themselves, willy-nilly, the control of education and conferred upon their peoples the twin dubious blessings of having it free slid compulsory, it may not be amiss to pause and to inquire (if one may be heard above the shouting of the progressive evolutionists) precisely what advantages are being derived from modern education, so widespread and easy to hand. We do not propose to discuss secularism as a system or examinations as the narrow consummation of that system. The Catholic view of secularism sees it as a headless statue in a fruitless garden. What we wish to demonstrate is that secularism, faced with a crisis, collapse,' from its own constitutional debility. And more, that in the pursuance of its own avowed objectives, it has proved inefficient to the point that we call chronic invalidism. • • • During the last century when industrialism was moving with loug strides over the face of the earth, and the minds of men were become increasingly obsessed with ideas of security and invincible progress, materialism and secularism were models of a devoted couple. But as is the case with many long engagements, and even with many modern marriages, there was suddenly a sharp and bitter parting. The breakdown of money was accompanied by a sort of nervous collapse in which bdth the mind and the imagination of the secularists were involved. A divorce was granted on the grounds of incompatibility. Materialism was sued for maintenance, which at the expense of a few million consciences it managed and continues to raise. But poor secularism was --mually guilty in that her fidelity was undermined by the very blindness of her love. She could not control her affections because she could not see where they were leading. This resulted in two mutually repellant elements of reaction. While they talked of sonic vague spiritual concept of education, which was inoatit to be mystical, but only succeeded in mystifying, their feet led them into tortuous unending paths of technical specialism and commercial utilitarianism. • I • • When secularism threw over the old liberal system of education, which at least lent the mind some sort of broad culture and flexibility, it took on something of the aspect of a machine, which began to turn out a type of automaton whose chief and only virtue was monotony. The clerks, garage hands, mechanics and typistes of its manerfacture were ideal in their way, but their minds were crushed by the pressure of a solitary idea and their Toideals stultified by the insufficiency of a single aspiration. day a man may become an artist, but this he must achieve in spite of the handicap of a moftern education. The "depression" unmasked secularism for the shallow mountebank that it is. Its avowed object was to train youth to good citizenship without employing moral sanctions. Its young citizens found ,during the "depression." that however good might be their civic spirit, they were without a lasting city. In fact they stood in the midst of something that was rather like the ruins of a city, which was known of old as Babylon. Materialism had fallen down on that side of the maintenance order. Secularism was faithfully producing its large-scale automata, but they could not be absorbed, because the economic machinery was fast falling into irreparable (116repair, and partly because its serfs were standardised to such an extent that while there were some millions of qualified clerks, many trades were complaining bitterly about the shortage of skilled labour. So there arose a clamour about the division of labour which fed logically to the consideration of what is popularly called "vocational guidance." The word "vocation" was already a timehonoured term among Catholics. who have, hoss ever, for some obscure reason, consistently confined its use to the priestly or religious life. Yet the idea is growing that everyone has a vocation to something. be it to butcherdom or bishopric. Obviously it will not do to continue pushing school children through the same curriculum. Once it is ceded that everyone has a vocation, the next important question should he directed to the state to which one is "called." Divine Providence does not, however, reveal one's destiny directly by a series of personal revelations. This knowledge is to he deduced from the natural likings and aptitudes of the various children. So far, vocational guidance is very much In many respects it is the most important problem in the air. facing the modern educationalist. Yet its practical introduction into the schools will be hampered and rendered vain until something revolutionary is achieved in industrial, economic and political aspirations. At the present moment the onl! vocational guidance is expediency. One must take whatever class of work is available and he thankful to get it. But under an intelligently planned economy it would he possible to co-ordinate the functions of the teacher and the employer. In the meantime it might he pertinently inquired. what is the point of all the specialisation? It would he surprising, hut perhaps none the less sane, if there was a partial reversion to a more general type of education which would 'iye to children something of a more flexible disposition of nrind to meet the ever-likely transference from one occupation to another, which has become a matter of sheer every-day necessity.
Celibacy of the Clergy
An exchange of letters in the morning Press during the week has been directed to the consideration of the status of parsons' wives. The prevailing sentiment in their regard seems to be one of sympathy and commiseration. So much so that Archdeacon Riley declared it to be "something of a toss-up" whether it were better to procure married or unmarried clergy. In this one matter, there is a strong indication of how little the non-Catholic bodies are interested in the Christian traditions which they claim to perpetuate. It has been a venerable gibe among Protestants that celibacy of the clergy was a Popish innovation, man-made, unnatural, and therefore only relatively important. Furthermore, it has been asserted that it is incongruous to have celibates as advisors on the duties and difficulties of the married state, when they have no experience of it. • • • As a matter of historical fact, it has been the mind of the Church from the earliest centuries that the clergy should be unTruly a married man could receive Holy Orders. but married. once a man became a priest he had to renounce marriage and pracThis law was explicitly given by the Apostolic tice celibacy. Constitutions of the second century. It was confirmed by succeeding Councils and Popes. There are two further unquestionable pieces of evidence on this matter dating from the fourth century.

Sex
Education
The recent Leighton rape. case has re-opened in the morning press a discussion of the knotty question of the sex education of the young. In an interesting letter from a State school teacher, he makes the confession that he is "often staggered by the monstrous inadequacy of our educational system as regards sex and If any further indictment of secular educatioe moral training." were necessary, this would deal it the death blow. But it is not needed. It is apparent to all that secular education is experiencing an imperative need of embracing moral values, which it is unable to do. It is precisely on this issue that the Catholic Church But is is has, at great sacrifice, eschewed the secular system. futile to continue labouring the point; it is unavailing to kick a dead horse. The whole kernel of the matter is this: A moral counsel or commandment has no chance of being heeded or ot,srrved unless it is backed by an authoritative moral sanction, which the teachers of the State school cannot, and do not pretend to nive. •
•
So far from the Church having placed a veto on the subject of sex, it was the Puritan revolt which took this responsibility. If any one has any doubts in this regard, let them read the moral theology of the Church or the recent Encyclical of the Pope on Christian Marriage, where the most intimate matters are frankly and explicitly treated. Yet the Church has, at the same time. observed the rule which St. Ignatius formulated for his Order, that it were better "to say less rather than more." The moderns would find it a difficult thesis to prove that the public discussion and diffusion of sex knowledge in our day has tended to make men more moral or more happy. Rather it has infinitely cheapened and made gross that which God gave to humanity as its most intimate and sacred natural function. No man discusses publicly or without reserve that which he really respects and values. The Holy Father, in his Encyclical on Christian Education, condemns evt!ry form of pedagogic naturalism in this matter, in that it denies or omits the facts of original sin and grace, and relies solely on the powers of human nature. So, in many of the proposed measures for sex education, this fallacy is to be found, that man is discussed purely as an animal and that the motive, proposed for purity are entirely unworthy or insufficient, such as the dread of disease. Positively the Church lays down that the sex instruction of the young should he given, preferably by the parent, in a private, prudent and delicate manner. No general rule can he laid down to cover all cases, as the matter varies a, to age and extent of information according to the individual child.

Old Boys in Old Boys of C.B.Cs Perth, played prominent parts in the recently con. eluded Country Week, in which the "A" Grade Premiership was won by Northam, with Geraldton as runnersup, and the "B" Grade by Albany, with Kellerberrin as runners-up. Standing supreme over all dthers who participated in "The Week" was Jack Shea, ex-captain of the College XI., and one of the very few players who have recorded 1,000 runs in Cup matches, the others to perform this feat being all "Christians," Frank Bryant, Jack Jennings, and Ernie Bromley. Shea's performances during the 'Week- were really wonderful, and there is no W.A.C.A. player, that any one in the know would care to noinim ate as being likely to do neatly as well were he to take part in any par. ticular country week. Shea made 682 runs, a recrord; highest score, 173; seven innings, and an average of 107.3 He compiled three centuries and his lowest score was 72! In the play.off against Northam, he was a veritable Dr. Grace, a George Giffen, or a "Monty" Noble in his performance. He captured 5 for 62 with the hall, and opening up for his team he was 109 not out at the close of the first day's play. when Geraldton's tally was 7 for 157, in response to Northam's 279.

151 not out, adding 42 of the 44 runs scored! These figures make history and are worthy of inclusion in any volume given to the recounting the brave deeds of the cricket field. For Combined Country v. W.A.C.A., he top-scored with 30. When England's Test XI. play in Perth in October, one of the first to be selected for this State should be Jack Shea. Keith Sermon, captain of the "A" premiers, Northam, was one of the best cricketers of the "Week." The "Sermons" of Grass Valley that have attended the College are numerous, and all excellent "sports" and supporters of their "Alma Mater." Redmond Green was a member of t he Pingelly team, but failed to strike his best form. However, he was seen to better aclvantave in the Town v. Country Old Boys' match at the College. Jack Dowsett, one of the veterans of the "Week," led Narrogin. He first figured in the "Week" in 1913. In his day Jack was one of the finest athletes of the secondary •schools He is a practical supporter of Alma Mater. Bill Wiese, who played great cricket for the college round about 1925 and 1926, came down with Narrogin and early came into prominence by scoring 92 out of a total of 121 by his side again-t York' Bill won the match in
a fashion typical of his Terrace days--a glorious "sixer" was the winning stroke. He was also to the fore against Central Midlands, when he compiled 117 not out. •'Mont)" M' urnane, quite a new "Old Boy," played with Busselton and shone with the ball when he captured 8 for 28 against Collie Colts In another match he was seen to advantage as a mighty hitter—five consecutive -siv. ers." "Monty" was always a disciple of "the long handle" school. Once again the Bell brothers were in force for Katanning. For many years the father of the Bell boys played in the "Week," but he was missing en this occasion, but his daughter was to the fore as official scorer! The side was led by Dick, while Frank and Esmond were also valued members. Alf. Townshend, who bowled his guileful slows when a Darlot Cup player, showed he has not lost the art. He captured his fair share of wickets. and seemed to enjoy every minute uf the long "Week." Kojonup had three Old Boys in its ranks. Frank and Norman Norri5h. and Bill Church. Norman's best work was his four for 37 against last year's premiers. Mt. Barker, while Frank, his uncle, was "generally useful." Paul Cook, the powerful left-hand batsman, was with Lake Grace. Ile

gether with the works of R. L. Stephenson, C. Lamb, Macaulay, etc. But as examination students have usually as much serious reading prescribed for them as they can conveniently assimilate, it is well to remember that good lighter reading may serve the same purpose- The novels of Thac.keray and Dickens furnish excellent examples of English composition at its best; and both writers were most careful in the finish of their work. It would be difficult to find a descriptive passage of more power, vividness, and finish than the description of the storm and shipwreck in Scott's "David Copperfield." works also, though less careful and precise in composition, will always be splendid models of good English writing

Many modern language teachers of to-day advocate that French anil German should be approachas live languages, that they should be the languages of the classroom, and that pupils should he taught to express themselves as natt.rally in French and GerThe old man as in English. "translation" method has been abandoned, and teaching nowaclays proceeds on more realistic lines according to what is known as the Direct Method. Supporters of this method base the learning of modern languages on imitation, and trust to repetition for lasting results. As little recourse as possible should be bail to the mother -tongue. Every naglish word that is not strictly necessary is an opportunity lost o f practising the class in using foreign and understanding a word. The child should acquire his knowledge of French and German by hearing, by imitating in speech and in action, by question and answer. This process invetves incessant spoken repetition. The Direct Method is of inestimable value in the acquisition of the so-called "Sprachgefuhl," that intuitive sense of the language which is the outcome of frequent repetition. The sense of power which comes to a pupil when he finds himself the master of a medium of expression other than his mother-tongue, and which he has acquired by his own efforts, is of the highest educational value. This sense of power, of confidence in self-expression. gives life to the •implest classwork and makes the modern language period a real delight. Although the Direct Method has outstanding merits, it also has its drawbacks. If one insists tee) much on the importance of
the spoken word, pupils are liable to forget the importance of the written word, the result being that they can often speak well but spell very badly. They may easily understand fluent French, but often their fluent answers are The danger of ungrammatical. the Direct Method is that it tends to turn out an inexact type of mind, satisfied with superficial attainment. This is what teachers should guard against. In order to ensure accuracy it would he more satisfactory to give grammatical explanations in English, for to understand a rule of syntax all the pupil's energies are required, and if he has first to grasp the meaning of the foreign sentence his attention is divided.
Influence of Books. The immense influence of reading on composition can hardly be estimated. The influence is received in two ways—unconsciously and consciously. It is received unconsciously because by its means, ideas and k nowledge is acquired, which will form the basis of future composition, and also in a more subtle, yet powerful, manner by the fixing on the mind of the reader tendencies to use certain modes of thought and forms of expression, the results of which are comprehended in the terms "tone" and "style." We thus unconsciously both think and write as we read. There are so many good books. that we should avoid not merely those which are only harmful. but also those which are only second-rate, or poor. The cheap novelette, the sensational newspaper, the flimsy literature, now so much in vogue, have, if read to any extent, a positive influence on composition by forming a false unnatural tone and style.
The best method in teaching a language is to put into the lesson the maximum of the foreign tongue and the minimum of English.

The consciously-received influence of books is also of great imIt is well sometimes portance. to write a very striking passage The School Essay or Composition from memory and then to compare our effort with the original.

In doing this, what is known as "criticism" is of great value. We must not merely receive what the author says. but try to form our own opinion of it and strive to see it both from his point of view an,' out own.

Dear Aunt Bessy.—I am shocked to hear of the dreadful misfortune that has hapened poor Sandy. Now. A.B., cheer up! It may be a blessing in disguise, as Sandy is likely to hear a little bit more about the goose that lays the golden egg for, when on my travels last year, I was informed that if anyone could get in touch with King Neptune they would be able to find where the goose had her nest. I wish we could let Sandy know this, but it is a secret, and can only be used for your own benefit. However, I am confident Sandy will be rescued.

He was looking very pale and tired. but I blamed the heat for this, and after I had a little cheerful conversation with him his roses returned and he looked as bonnie as ever. He was so charmed to see me (one for Mary Sn'oggins! ) that he decided to re. pay me in some little way, as Sandy said himself, by giving me a miniatose figure of his own dear self He • very shy, but williner to give me • gift. andI am sending it to you just see if you think his hair suffered very badly during his recent illness. If you think it has. I was w. ndering if you could give any recommendation of a genuine hair restorer or dye that would be harmless and at the same time restore it to its original shade of auburn in which his mother took such pride? Sandy made a big apology for the kind sister who looked after him, as she did not get time to put the usual permanent wave in. You will notice that Sandy's feet are turning red now, which may be due to some disease of the heart valves, or perhaps it is due to the fact that Mars- Snoggins refused his proposal. (He did not tell me that-[just guessed it) Since visiting the "Never Die Hospital" I have heard that poor Sandy has been kidnapped. What on earth made him go to a place like Rottnest to get away from his thoughts of one woman? (His conscience or her confessor,Is'pose!)

You know, Aunt Bessy, I usual. eo to St. John's when I am feeling off colour, but next time I have made up my mind I will go to the "Never Die Hospital." (Gracious, ma cherie, do you have to go to a hospital every time you make up your mind? It must come very expensive on you?) All the same, I dearly love the wingless angels I met at St. John's, especially the ones from Kilrush and Xray I just met Donald MacPherson and borrowed a shilling for Sandy without him knowing my purpose, so I enclose that too, and as I think the dingoes are calling for a feed and I don't feel like obliging them with what is left of me, I will say good-bye. Hoping to hear better news next week, and pro rnising I won't forget about the pound if I succeed in getting it back from the Snogginses. With lots of love and kisses —I remain, your would-be pet, "SISTER SUE." Dear Sister Sue,—If Sandy doesn't like the blue eyes and golden hair of a certain little lady, then he ought to get some taste restorer instead of hair dye. It was very kind of you to send me his effigy-, and it so like In' bonnie wee laddie. but what will we do if he gets thrown to the sharks? I can't sleep o' nights thinking on it, and with Pancake Tuesday almost here I feel w orse because I do like pancakes and I won't be able to eat them this year if Sandy is not rescued. All the same, you have stood by him hand. sosnely, and I do thank you, and if Sandy doesn't love you after I've given him some hints about you, it won't be my fault. By the way, is it true that Kilrush and Xray are making a novena that Sandy will have to go into ho, pital again? Of course I do not doubt that after the strange and mystic company of the sirens and mermaids the wingless angels would have a soothing effect on his jagged nerves, but he would be too near Mary Snoggins' home to be able to rest. so I think the novena ought to be directed to my needs. I noticed the redness of Sandy's tootsies—one could almost believe someone else besides the mermaids had been tickling themn—I do hope the boy will survive! Thank you. my big benefactress for all. AUNT BESSY. The Fireside, Turpentine Parade, Woppygong. Dear Aunt Bessy,—Here I am at last after a long and almost unpardonable silence, to thank you for the lovely poem you printed in "The Record" in reply to my letter, and for the picture of St. Bernadette. I will ask my Mile patroness to obtain every blessing and success for you in the great work. It is very hot in this part of the world. I called to see Pauline Lamb on Mon• day, and when I arrived at her place she was very excited. A fire had just started down the street, and as it was getting bigger and coming along closer we wanted to go to you to see if the Wet Blanket would come and stand near the side of the house to keep it Then Mrs Lamb said the fire cool. would not come any closer, so we went
into the Blue Room and drowned our fears in kola beer. It was whilst we were enjoying ourselves in this manner that a member of the party mention. ed poor cousin Sandy's plio-ht, and we all wondered just what we could do to help the poor laddie. After a lengthy debate (Parliament had nothing on us then!) we decided to sell the kola beer bottles, and send you the proceeds, which you will find enclosed. Please convey my sympathy to Sandy's fond parents—it is they I feel sorry for, as I'm inclined to believe he is rather en. joying the experience. Well, Aunt Bessy. the front door bell is ringing, so I suppose that means I won't be back to this room for an hour or two, so I will close.—Your loving niece, BERNADETTE SOMEBODY. Dear Bernadette,—MethinksI am beginning to have an ice cream man's appreciation of the summer season since reading your letter, for when I reflect that the generous greenback you en. closed was the result of a combined acute summer thirst, how could I be slow to appreciate the heat that led to the thirst, the thirst that led to the drink, the drink that led to the bottles, and the bottles that led to the sale that resulted in a pound coming forward for Sandy's rescue? Believe me I do appreciate the decision of the lengthy debaters (as well as their thirst) and their apparently splendid accommodation for kola beer. How deceptive are appearances! To look at Pauline Lamb and Nora Bone and Willy Evergrow one would suppose the squeeze of a lemon between the three of them would keep them going for a fortnight, not to mention your own This is being typed off before self. Pancake Tuesday, so I am not yet sure if the rescue will be effected, but I coaveyed your sympathy to Mr. and Mrs. McDougall, as well as the 4cnowledge of your practical help towards their son's release. They wept with emotion, and in case our efforts to save Sandy are useless. I managed to bottle their tears, so that if the worst comes to the worst I will raffle them instead of the boy himself. AUNT BESSY. Back o' Beyond. Dear Aunt Bessy,---Poor Sandy! And he such a woman hater—what an air• ful fate is his. I'm not sure that he won't be safer with the Sirens now that Mary Snoggins.(Miss) seems to he pre. pared to make advances to him—not that she doesn't owe it to him to come to his rescue, but he'll have to be elusive afterwards I fear. Here's hoping for a speedy release anyhow. THE HARP THAT ONCE. Dear Harp That Once,—Sandy won't be wanting in elusiveness if he is spared to raffle himself for the Busbies, as Mary Snoggins will have to pay 3d. for the chance of winning him, and probably her chance will be as remote as Sandy's present adress. His mother is keeping all the old 'iRecords- for him. and I am sure he will be charm• ed at the response that has been made by his many admirers among whom he will be delighted to include yourself, e ven though you are not ''a likely" for Leap Year. AUNT BEfs,7SY. Dear Aunt Bessy,—I wonder what next will happen to Sandy; he hasn't the luck of a Chinaman To think we backed him up in that contest with Don MacPherson and almost while rejoicing that the dear lad came off the victor we find he is ft trouble again-

The Spanish Maelstrom (Continued from Front Cover.)
THE REV. DR. J. T. McMAIION. On his return from a trip abroad by the Strathnaver on Tuesday, the Rev. Dr. John T. McMahon, parish priest at South Perth, and diocesan inspector ot Catholic schools, announced the recent publication of a new book he has writ. ten, "Ramblers From Clare,- which is largely a narrative of two stirring events in the history of this State- The book, he said, had been published in Dublin and London, and would reach Australia in about a week's time. Dr. McMahon spent a year abroad visiting England, the Continent, America and his native Ireland. He visit. cii a number of schools with the object o f observing recent advances in educa tion abroad. "Ramblers From Clare' gives an account of the doings of people from County Clare, Ireland (where the author was born) and the main section in the book, Dr. McMahon said, was esThe book consentially Australian. tained the story of the overlanding trip by the Duracks from Queensland to the Kimberleys in the eighties of last century.

The story of Paddy Hannan, the pioneer of Kalgoorlie. was also introduced into the book. Hannan was born in Clare. Dr. McMahon will resume parochial duties in South Perth.
RT. REV. DR. JOHN CARROLL, D.D.
Not a line about this great gathering appeared in the English daily papers, nor in the overseas cables. The British press lost all interest in Spain since the day in December, 1933, when the Catholic parties annihilated the Red and unconstitutional Cabinet led by Azana. Only once since did Spain figure in the London news, and that was in October last, when the appointment of two Catholics to a reconstructed Radical Cabinet led to a Communist rebellion. And London Liberal papers were again disappointed at the rout of the rebels. G. K. Chesterton's Slashing Criticism, The position was neatly stated by that typical John Bull, Mr. G. K. Chesterton, who had been an English Liberal in the old Liberal days. He said: "We were not unacquainted with Tory and Unionist victories at the polls: we had often gone contentedly into Opposition. It had never been suggested that when Balfour or Baldwin constitutionally became Prime Ministhe Nonconformists ters all should go out with guns and bayonets to reverse the popular vote; or that the Leader of the Opposition should begin to throw dynamite at the elected Leader of the House." He then pointed out that at the Spanish general elections, "in the perfectly fair and open intellectual interchange, in which all the
Liberals are supposed to believe, the Catholic ideals won." Nobody said that the majority had been forced out of office by an armed minority. If the Liberal theory of popular opinion was right the election was right. "But the Socialists, having lost the game by the rules of democracy, did the very thing that the British Liberal press blames the Fascists for doing. They used bombs and guns and instruments of violence to prevent the fulfilment of the ‘'ill of the people, or at least the will of the Parliatnent." "And what did Liberalism say?" asked Mr. Chesterton. "What did the 'News-Chronice,' my dear old organ of liberty and peaceful citizenship, say? "Naturally,I assumed, on opening the paper, that it would rally to the defence of Parliament and peaceful representative govern• ment, and rebuke the attempt to make a minority dominant by mere military violence. "Judge of my astonishment when I found it lamenting aloud over the unfortunate failure of these Socialistic Fascists to reverse the result of a general election." • That is why the British Liberal papers and the overseas cablemen take no further interest in Spain. though they spread protests all over their pages against the persecution of Jews in Germany.

The entire population of Wallis and Futuna, two Pacific islands 400 miles north-east of Fiji. is entirely Catholic. These islands, recently erected into a separate Vicariate Apostolic, were first visited by missionaries in 1837. They have their own native seminaries and have already supplied 20 native priests for the missions. 3 46,752 VISITORS IN HOLY LAND DURING PAST FOUR Y EARS. A ccording to the Tourist Development Association for Palestine, 346,752 visitors came to the Holy Land dt.ring the four years, 1932-35. The numbers are increasing year by year.

LANAI. MacRORY. A number of outstanding topical problems were touched on by Cardinal MacRory, Archbishop of Armagh, in a Lenten pastoral which was read in all churches in Armagh on Sunday last. Cardinal MacRory urged that Lent should be kept as a time of penance. and that the people The should pray for peace. whole terrible business of rearming was being carried on as usual behind the backs of the people, he s aid. He hoped the day would come when those who had to fight the battles would have some say in the declaration of war. He condemned the disguised Communist movement which, he said, was spreading in six counties, and was probably not confined to the north, known as the United Front. The idea was to get young men from all classes banded together for some purpose not associated with Communism and then to imbue their minds with Communist doctrines, including a denial of the existence of God. I:_'r-ring to cinemas, Cardinal MacRory said that he did not love the business as it was carried on in Ireland at present. It belonged to companies which were not Irish and the money went abroad. He suggested that the Ulster or Irish Free State governments, or a new Irish film company should meet the demand for character pictures which could then be more easily controlled. Alluding to dances, he hoped that the older people would oppose late dances in small towns and villages which involved young people going homeward along dark, lonely roads.
