I am quite aware of vestigial "resemblances" to features discernible in other animals. But "resemblances" and "similarities" are not proof of "derivation." To regard them as traces proving "undoubted animal origin" is .simply fantastic. It is interesting to c ontrast the dogmatism of the man in the street with the tentative caution of the real scientist. * Prof. J. B. S Haldane, a perfectly irreligious man, at least refuses to . outstrip the available evidence. ,And he says that he regards the evolution of man from lower animals as "rather more probable than the existence of Cedric the Saxon, hut less probable than the existence of

Queen Anne." The really great scientist Reincke speaks even more strongly. "The only statement consistent with her dignity that science can make," he writes, "is that she knows nothing about the origin of man." Are you aware that you started life as an egg within the economy of your mother's body? Quite. If you find no difficulty in believing that Dr. Rumble now at the microphone was once a germ cell, what difficulty have you in admitting your animal ancestry? I would have none, were my animal ancestry a proven fact as the origin of the human body in a germ cell. But it is not, and I object to fancies being represented as facts. Surely such an ancestor as the PiItdown man (or woman) is not so unimaginable in your pedigree once you admit you were a germ cell? You must not expect me, because I admit what is a proven fact, to admit also, and as of equal value, all you choose to imagine. I have never said that the evolution of man's body from lower animals is "unimaginable." But will you say that, because a thing is "not unimaginable," it is therefore true?

Evolutionary Mythology
Missing Links
You appear to speak somewhat scathingly of the theory of organic evolution. I speak scathingly of those who want to make such evolution appear to be more -than a mere theory. Many people who pretend to a scientific outlook. have built up a mythology equal to any that has ever been foisted upon a credulous humanity. And they get quite worried when one refuses to profess belief in their dreams. But organic evolution, involving the transformation of species, does not warrant belief. The well-known scientist, Yves Delage, made it his opinion that such evolution probably occurred. But he had the honesty to write as follows: "One is, or is not, a transformist, not so much for reasons deduced from natural history, as for motives based on personal Philosophic opinions. If there existed' some other scientific hypothesis besides that of descent to e xplain the origin of species, many transformists would abandon their present opinion as not being sufficiently demonstrated. If one takes one's stand upon the exclusive grounds of the facts, it must be acknowledged that the formation of one species from another species has not been demonstrated at all. Is Catholic Theology Mere "Theory"? May I remind you that it was at least a guess in the higher realms of Greek thought when Christianity was still unheard of? May I ask what ,:n earth that has to do with the discussion? Organic evolution is admittedly still a theory; but so is your theology. In that you are wrong. Organic evolution is a theory precisely because it has to suppose much which ie not known to be a fact. Catholic theology does not suppose. It proves. And if any suppositions are advanced in matters of religion, Catholic theology declares that they are suppositions, and nothing more. And it will never allow that certain conclusions can be based upon mere suppositions. Your theology is but pure speculation. If by that you mean "guess-work" I deny it. Catholic theology is the reasoned explanation of facts known by revelation. *
The Authority of the Church Your particular interpretation of the Bible (that which your Church enjoins) is but a theory. If the Catholic Church enjoins a particular interpretation of certain passages in the Bible, it should be obvious that private and personal theories are at once excluded. You may say, "Yes. But merely because the Church imposes her theory." To that I reply that the, official teaching of the Catholic Church is lifted far above the domain of human theorising. In such cases, it is Christ speaking through His Church, and telling us exactly what He meant when He originally spoke. And

Genesis and Science
Compared to the actual proofs you can muster for your special interpretations of the Bible (which are valid only "if - the Bible is inspired, and "if" your Church is the teaching body it claims to be) —organic evolutionists can point to visible proofs of their theory. which would appear almost overwhelming. The proofs that the Bible is inspired and the Catholic Church the authorised teaching body she claims to be, are quite sound. And not only have you not a vestige of a visible proof in fay our of organic evolution comparable to the visible Catholic Church herself: you haven't any proof at all in favour of your theory. You see, the proofs of organic evolution do not consist in producing isolated and graded fossil remains. What you have to prove is that lower grades evolved into higher grades, You have to prove a process. And for your proof you need, not what you can produce, but what you can't produce. In other words you have to produce missing links, whose chief characteristic at present is that they are missing. These you assume, where the Catholic theologian won't budge without proof. Professor Berg, a Russian scientist working under an atheistic Government. cannot be suspected of theistic bias. Recently he has published a brilliant book entitled, "Nomogenesis." Now listen to what he has to say concerning the missing links essential to proof of organic evolution: "It is truly remarkable," he writes, "that palaeontology in no way displays transitional forms between phyla and classes: and possibly not e ven between classes: and possibly not even between orders. Thus we are ignorant of transitional forms not only between vertebrates and invertebrates,. fishes and tetrapods, but even between the cartilaginous (chonclrichthves such as sharks, etc.). and higher fishes (osteichthves); in spite of a wonderful affinity b - etween reptiles and birds, no transitional forms between them are known. Formerly this was accounted for by the imperfection of the geological record; but the deeper our knowledge penetrates into the domain cf fossils, the farther back recede genetic inter-relations, which ever elude our grasp. So speaks Berb. And. in the face of that by one who is a scientist, albeit not a Christian, you talk of visible proofs advanced by organic evolutionists! Let me add, before taking your next question, that the Catholic religion is not in the least a ffected even if organic evolution could he proved. MY denial that it has been proved is in no way prompted by any idea of defending the Catholic Faith Prove organic evolution. and I will aceent it as heartily_ as you. and re main a Catholic with my faith quite unimpaired.

I would first preach the Gospel in the open air, by the seashore, or in the forests. But when sufficient numbers were converted, I would build a church for purposes of worship and teaching. So long as the Gospel is preached in a country, it does not matter whether it be preached out in the open or uncle, cover. We have to follow Christ, but that does not mean in all the accidental features of His life and work. The Gospels tell us that Christ "sat on a well."

The Positive Aspect of the Communist Attack Insincerity of the Struggle For Bread and Liberty " We are all swollen with hunger, H it/ no one save its front death?"
Starvation of 170,000,000 Peasants.
(By PAUL BRENNAN.) A s to the. positive aspect, of the programme there comes firstly, the struggle for bread and liberty. It is a familiar Bolshevik argument that "there was less liberty and more repression under the Tsardom than there is in the new Russia." • Alexandra Tostoi's Protest. . Alexandra Tolstoi would i)e the last person in the world to buttress what Moscow sympathisers would call "capitalist lies.' Yet this Daughter of Revolution could so burn with shame and anger at the sight of a tyranny which took the food out of children's mouths in order to turn it into foreign currencies, and to spend these currencies on atheistic propaganda, as to write to the London "Morning Post" of JanuHaving recalled ary 15, 1933. the horror felt in 1908, when the Tsar's Government proposed to shoot twenty enemies of the regime. Alexandra Tolstoi went on: "To-day, in the year 1933. WIru in the Northern Caucasus a •Ireadful slaughter is going on. wi,en thousands of people are sh t and exiled daily, and my father is not here to protest.- I feel it my duty to raise my weak yHce against this wholesale murder. For fifteen years the Russ:IT1 people have suffered slavery. famine. "Robbing the People." The Bolshevik Government has been robbing the people, taking away their bread, their food, and sending it abroad. The Soviets need currency not only for buying machinery, .but for the w orld-wide campaign of propaganda. If the peasants protest. if they hide the bread for their own family, if they refuse to till the soil, they are punished— sometimes shot. The Russian people cannot suffer it any longer. Here and there revolts are starting. . . . How does the Soviet Government respond to this? "It issues decrees, banishing 01142-third of the Moscow popuiati( ,n from the city; subdues the r evolted peasants and workers by bullets and gas. Since the t itiie of Ivan the Terrible.

A Contagion Which Threatens Ruin and Destruction. The rest of the letter is an appeal to the Bernard Shaws, and similar defenders of the Soviets, "whose praises of the Socialist Paradise" help Moscow to spread a contagion which threatens the xvorld with ruin and destruction." In that same year, 1933, the appeal, in effect, from the starving in Russia was: "Will no one save us ,from death? We are all swolWilt no one len with hunger.

At first, it was both a boarding and a day school. When Dr. Shfel retired in 1858 to take up parish work at Ballarat: "Mr. Patrick Whyte, who had come from England under engagement to Dr. Goold, was appointed to take charge of the College and on his retirement the following year, the Rev. John A Barry became its President. distinguished classical and Hebrew scholar.

The Sisters of Mercy Come to Victoria. Bishop Goold. to counteract the trend of educational Jeve:opment towards secularism, began to strengthen the Catholic position by entrusting the schools to members of established teaching orders of religious. On his visit to Europe in 1851, it was fully expected that he would return with a community of Sisters of Mercy. They did not come. Two years later their arrival was so confidently expected that "on Sunday evening, June 19, 1853, at a m eeting of the Catholic Association, a subscription list for the r aising of funds necessay to provide a convent for the expected community was opened. A week later the.

(By REV. BROTHER URBAN CORRIGAN, M.A., Dip.Ed.) Sisters of Mercy to their heart long before they arrived. Strange as it may seem, Victoria, the most progressive and populous of the Colonies, received its first community of Sisters of Mercy from West Australia, then in the destitution of economic depression. Since the days of their landing with Bishop Brady in 1846, Mother Ursula Frayne led the nuns in endurance and resignation; she directed the work with foresight and her community with forebearance. Now she led them to lead a new -foundation from Victoria Square to Melbourne. Their arrival on March 7, 1857, opened an epoch in the educational history of Victoria. Two years later the position was further strengthened, when, after long negotiations with the Archbishop of Dublin, another commtanity arrived from the Mother House at Baggot St. Under the direction of Mother M. Xavier Maguire, they made Geelong the centre of another s tronghold of religious influence. Close of the Fifties. The Bishop was not so fortunate on behalf of the boys. During his visit to Europe in 1859 he made efforts to secure the services of the Marist Brothers, so that he could establish a training school for teachers in Victoria. The extraordinary demand for their services in France, Belgium and England made it impossible for the superiors to grant his request. Though founded only 40 years before at a country village in the mountains in the south of opening were France, they schools in the fifties at the rate of one a fortnight. Applications for new schools came in at the rate of one a week. In the denew 204 cade they opened alis expansion Such schools. most without parallel in modern Bishop Goold's effort to times. secure such a great teaching order to take charge of his training school was a definite attempt to organise and consolidate his rapidly multiplying schools. The period closes with more than 70 Catholic primary schools supported by school- fees and governof convents ment salaries, Mercy in Melbourne and Geelong, and a secondary school at St. Patrick's College for the higher education of boys.

Most people know them as an Australian foundation; few realise that they carry an historic name...in _a new world. Perhaps it is God's silent way of adjusting old instruments to new needs. The aim of the founder, Archbishop Polding, was to relieve the distress of destitute and fallen women; then he undertook the care of orphan children. When these limited wants were satisfied, the new congregation turned its attention from city lights and hidden alleyways to the wider, happier fields of education. The Benedictine nuns at Subiaco could take but little share in this work of active charity, because they were an enclosed order.
The New Institute Begins. Towards the end of 1856, His Grace Archbishop Polding considered the time opportune to begin the work of establishing his new congregation of nuns to carry out his plans for social and educational improvement. Five young ladies had offered to devote themselves to the work. This would leave him free to allow the Sisters of Charity to develop their own particular works. For nearly twenty years they had undertaken any and every work the Archbishop asigned to them. At the moment they were not in official favour because they wished to retain corporate connection with their own Institute. Some of the Sisters went to Tasmania. But the generosity of the people of Sydney that enabled them to purchase a convent for themselves at Potts Point, and the pleasure of being able to open a school and a hospital of their own after long years of itinerant charity, were sufficient to counterbalance official coldness. Mother Scholastica consented to remain as Superior of the infant community which took the name of the "Sisters of the Good This name was reShepherd." tained for some years, but on advice from Rome, it was changed to that of the "Good Samaritan ;" the French congregation, founded by St. John Eudes, had prior claim to the first name.
Its First Work. A Catholic lady, Mrs. Blake, inspired by the zeal of Father Farrelly, rented a house in Campa bell-street. Sydney, to give home to destitute women. While it remained under the control of this good woman, the Sisters -of Charity used to visit Them to The Sisters of the Good Saminstruct them in the elementary truths of their religion.

Discussing Brother Urban's paper, the Rev. Father ICullen, of Tasmania, said that a great deal had been said recently about Atheistic Communism. If Communism were to come into power in Australia to-morrow, every aspect of life here would be changed. One thing that would be retained, however, would be the State system of education. Practical advantages gained by hundreds of boys as a result of technical education in the Australian Catholic education system were emphasised- by Brother A. B. Hanley, of St. Joseph's Christian Brothers' Technical College, Abbotsford, Victoria, in a paper on "Catholic Technical Schools of Australia." In a paper on "Religious Education: its Place in Catholic Schools," the Rev. Dr. Beovich. of Melbourne, emphasised the necessity of such subjects as literature and languages, history, civics, geography, music, painting, and architecture.

The scheme endeavoured to cater for children from the age of 6 to 13 years. It strived to supply the wants of Catholic schools, and its sponsors assumed that children at the cgrnmencement of the course knew nothine at all about their religion. Mother Mary Angela, a Dominican nun from Maitland, New South Wake delivered a paper in "Religious In struction by Correspondence." The first attempts at teaching religion to children by correspondence in Western Australia in 1911 were outlined in a paper by the Diocesan Inspere tor of Schools in Perth (Dr. J. • T. McMahon).
HIS EXCELLENCY, ARCHBISHOP PANTO°. PAPAL LEGATE AT THE CONGRESS.
Communism and Secular Education Denouncing Communism as an insidious attack on the faith of Catholic children, the Diocesan Inspector of Schools in Sydney (Father T. J. 0Connor made a strong plea, in a paper read on his behalf, for religious instruction for Catholic children attending State schools. The great problem of the day, the paper stated, was the growine power of communists. This was true in Australia. Catholics who had been educated in a Catholic could to some extent repel this insidious attack upon their faith. Unfortunately, all Catholic children were not being educated in Catholic schools. More than one-third were educated State in Therefore they were in a schools, dangerous position to withstand the impact of (*ommunistic activities, Most of. them were children .of working-class parents. In every country the poor were only meat for Communists. In countries like ,Australia. where there was a non-religious educa• tional system. they were still worse off, because they were able to read. not onlv the immoral literature of thl day. but also the illogical Communistic propaganda. Perilous Influences. Father O'Connor said that in their towns and cities there was an age-old irreligious materialism. Pictures, from being a luxury, had become a necessity, with their dangers to faith and morals. Young, uninformed minds were constantly brought into contact with love stories that awakened emotions usually dermant in children until adolescenCe. Public speakers frequently preached false doctrines and openly attacked the Church. The in• creasing at life brought children inte closer proximity with elders who sometimes corrupted the chil mind. They could read without being able to sift the wheat from the chaff. This wa,, because the smattering of knowledge derived from the present State system unfortunately educated children to expect a certain standard of life not attainable for the majority .or children after they left echool. Thie would eventually breed discontent with the
rchool
prevailing social order and lead to the future adoption of anti-religious extremism on the part of the rising generationAgainst all these anti-Christian influences children in Catholic schools, who had been trained in the truths of their faith, had some measure of protection. What was to become of Catholic children in State sthools who received very little if any such training? "We must instruct MI the State school children if we are to avoid aiding and abetting the State governments in their stupid scheme of non-religious education, which in time will lead to anti-religious socialism," Father O'Connor added.
Men's Night On Thursday evening a most inspiring spectacle was witnessed on the Wayyille Showground,:. when over .70.000 men attended Pontifical Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. A section of the arena was occupied by 1,200 members of the Children of Mary attired in blue cloaks and white veils, - 2nd the rest of the arena was reserved for men. From an altar erected on showground, arena opposite the main grandstand, the Pontifical Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament was eiyen by the Apostolic Delegate (Dr. Panicol.

Friday: Children's Mass On the Wayville showgrounds on F riday, Pontifical High Mass was cetebrated. With the Apostolic Delegate presiding, with nearly 5,000 Catholic school children •singing the responses and with more than 20,000 people around the oval, it was one of the most striking spectacles of the Congress. Massed on the oval, girls in white dresses and boys in dark suits presented a remarkable sight. Colour was added to the scene by 400 Children of Mary in pale blue cloaks and the dark habits of the nuns who lined the avenue for the ecclesiastical procession to the altar. "Suffer the little children to come unto Me, and forbid them not, for of such is the Kingdom of God," was the text chosen by the Bishop of Townyille (Dr. T. McGuire) for his sermon. Acolytes in white surplices and purple soutanes led the procession of 400 priests and members of the hierarchy from the grandstand to the altar, which was erected on the eastern side of the oval. The ,Apostolic Delegate wore old-world robes, which contrasted tyith the brilliant vestments of the Aus•

A Pontifical Month's Mind Mass and an °hour s devotions attended by more than 300 priests were two features of the Catholic Education Congress on :laturday. The Bishop of Maitland Gleeson I conducted the hour of adoration for priests. Conferences for the _teaching orders of religious Sisters were continued at St. Cecelia s Hall, Convent of Mercy, and papers were given on English literature as a witness to the teachings of Christ, character formation in the light of modern psychology and the teaching of English in Catholic schools. A garden party was held at Loreto Convent. Marrvatville in honour of the Apostolic Delegate, the Governor (Sir Winston Dugan) and Lady Dugan heing present.

In the procession there were more than 20,000 boys, girls, clergy and other men, and the crowd that lined King William-street could scarcely have numbered fewer than 100,000.

"Though we demand the redress of a grievance, we do so in the spirit of kindness and with the desire to serve the true interests of civil government in every part of the Commonwealth," Dr. Sheehan said. Dealing with "the State's failure to respect the natural right of parents," Dr. Sheehan said the State had established its own The majority of . Australian schools. parents accepted them as satisfactory. but a very large minority, consisting chiefly of Catholic parents, strongly objected to them, and refused to avail themselves of them. The duty of the State to the minority was clear. The State was bound by natural law to give proportionately the same financial assistance to the minority as it gave to the majority, but the State, to the disgrace of all iAustralians who had supported it in its policy of injustice, had failed in its duty. Catholics were bound by State law to see that their Catholics children were educated. were hound by State law to pay their taxes, part of which went to the State school, and no others. Anomalous Position of Catholics. Catholics therefore were bound by State law, Dr. Sheehan continued, either to accept a type of education of which they strongly disapproved or to forgo all educational benefit from the
taxes which they paid, and establish a school system of their own. They had chosen the latter alternative, but they should never have been asked to choose. They should never have been compelled to contribute towards the education of other people's children and pay in full for the education of their own. The State had done a grievous wrong, a wrong all the greater because "our people are not the most affluent section of the population and are feeling more than others the pressure of these difficult times.

"State School" Misnomer. The title "State school" or "public school" was a misnomer, he continued. What were called State schools or public schools should be called undenominational or secular or neutral or any one of a dozen names according to the education they gave. They had no right to a name which suggest"Trespassing Beyond Sphere."' ed an exclusive claim to State favour or assistance.

They are prepared. on the presentation of irrefutable evidence, to acknowledge four pos-. sible explanations.

Our age manifests blandly an extraordinary contradiction. Hand in hand with undiluted materialism goes a fervent and feverish hankering after superstition, such as Christian Science. The same man who negates the Resurrection of Christ may die resolutely endeavouring to stem a cancer by the power of prayer alone. The very people who scoff at the miracles of Lourdes. which are certified, not by priests, but by dioctors of every nation and every creed, believe you can knit a broken bone by auto-suggestion. The miracles of Christianity have been wrought to act as apologetics lot The modern quackeries are made to serve. as Christian dogmas. It is fat denials of these and even of ordinary facts of nature. more true to say that many moderns believe rather in magic than in miracles. It mar be that the Little Flower has let fall on Out Southern Land some share of that astonishing rain of roses. But as yet it is only a whisper from he House i)f Lies.

Lord Ponsonby is a leader of the "left" wing of English That is to say politics. He is a Socialist of "advanced" views. his political and economic gospel is based on a philosophy which died many years ago with Haeckel and Karl Mordecai : a philosophy of Godless materialism.

At the first annual meeting of the Australian Associated Press, held in Adelaide on Monday, the 'chairman, Sir Keith Murdoch, made the following arresting statement: "We have established firmly the foundations of a permanent newsagency of unquestioned veracity, completeness and authority.

To say nothing of deliberate misrepresentation. the Australian Associated Press has not avoided these pitfalls, and the time is not ripe for self-congratulation. Nor has the obscurantism of the secular press been confined to minor isues. Two events of major world import, the Italo-Abyssinian campaign and the present civil war in Spain, have been subjected to outrageous treatment. It has been claimed by a local newspaper that it can only go on the overseas cables, and that if these are toaded it cannot be held responsi6le for the local dissemination of lies. That is absurd.

"These, My Little Ones" Gift Sunday at the Orphanage and Foundling Home
It is after midnight on a mild night early this year. All the good little boys and girls are sound asleep. Only the watchful sister on night duty is stirring. Suddenly she is on the alert. For a moment she listens intently the next, she is out in the open following the sustained wail of an infant. There, from under a hedge, she gathers up the poor wee mite, barely three weeks' old, and already abandoned. You read the story in the daily paper. Perhaps it did not occur to you that the incident is typical. The cry of that baby is, in tabloid form. the same which reaches you towards the end of each •'ear, when the Gift Sunday Appeal is launched. The Sisters ask for nothing for themselves: if they are insistent in urging the needs of the 'Institutions, it is because they speak for the little ones, who have "no language but a cry." For the work cannot go on without the charitable support of benefactors. Even with the most economical management, the regular income is quite insufficient to feed and clothe this family of over two hundred vigorous .1nd perhaps it is just youngsters. DO IT NOW.

Walsh--Daly Wedding
On Wednesday, 18th. inst., many of us met at the home of Mrs. T. D. Murphy, and there passed some pleasing hours at the serious task of playing bridge. The homely and comfortable atmosphere, and the vigour of the game, made us hope for another such evening.
St. Patrick's Church, Fremantle, was the scene of a pretty wedding on October 24 last at 8a.m., when Nell, daughter of Mrs. May and the late Timothy Daly, was married, with Nuptial Mass, to John, son of Mrs. Ellen and the late Patrick Walsh, of Co. Wexford, Ireland. was The 'altar beautifully decorated by the Sisters of St. Joseph's Convent, where the bride was educated. Mass was celebrated by Rev. Father Ryan, 0.M.I., the assisting altar boys being Masters B. Daly (brother) and R. _Tolley 'cousin of the bride). The bride made a charming picture in her trained ivory satin frock built on Grecian lines, and carrying a pretty bow:let of sweet peas and carnations, as she entered the church on the arm of her brother.

The president reported on the attendance at the General Communion last Sunday. He expressed his gratification for the response of members to his desire that this duty of Hibernians should never be neglected, and they should look forward to their general Communion. Several clearances were admitted to members who are leaving to form the new branch of Our Lady Help of Christians. and whilst congratulating them on this advance of our society in Victoria Park, we sincerely regret their departure from St. Joachim's., as many of them were the officers who helped to make this branch grow from a very small beginning to one of the strongest in the metropolitan area. Balloting for the nominated candidates for the positions of officers for the ensuing year resulted as follows: President. Bro. J. Harvey: vice-president. Bro I. O'Sullivan: treasurer. Bro. K.

New Christian Brothers' College at Geraldton ontinued from Page 21.) schools established and their trainees numbered thousands. Of the Christian Brothers in particular, he was competent to speak with some authority( and he could say that their system of education was a very complete one, and symbolical of what was taking place among their religious orders in other big cities in Australia and other parts of the world. First of all, there was a juniorate where the young men received their initial training. They remained there until they had passed their leaving certificate in all the essential subjects, and were then sent to a novitiate, where they were trained in religious discipline. At another institution further scholastic training followed, and fr)m that ft would be seen that the training for their profession was a very thmough one indeed. Then, too, they were subject to inspection, and More. they were registered they had ta pzeo: very searching examinations. After that, they were sent out to the various cities and States to carry on their system of education, and that system they .would undoubtedly find to be a comprehensive one in every respect, When he outlined those facts as relating to the Christian Brothers, he assured them they applied also to all the other religious orders. which would
give them some idea of the standard of efficiency they endeavoured to attain. In conclusion, said Bro. Coulon, he felt sure the ceremony that day was one very dear to the heart of His Lordship Bishop O'Collins. It represented the setting up of a great centre of education in the. most important centre of the diocese, and he hoped it would not be long before the Bishop would be called upon to add the other t wo wings to the building and that, when this was done, it would be taxed beyond its full capacity.

they were the most self-sacrificing lot of young men it would be possible to meet in any walk of lite. They worked with the sole desire to achieve something, and that something ,V3S to ig.q the young uncultured youths and Se mould them while their minds were plastic that they would make good citizens of the State and of Australia. Despite the huge debts hanging over ?heir heads, they were satisfied that these things were worth doing, and they set out determinedly to accomplish them. He hoped. too, it would not be long before it was necessary at least to add one wing to the new building Bishop O'Collins had opened that day.
Speaking on behalf of the citizens of the town, the Mayor (Mr. G. Lester) congratulated the Brothers on the acquisition of such a fine Luilding. There was one thing upon wl h they were all agreed, and that was th-n in His Lordship Bishop O'Collins they had a first-class citizen. Since his arrival in Geraldton. the Bishop had lost no opportunity to praise and advertise the town, and they had evidence of the confidence he had in Geraldton in the magnificent buildings he had had erected. There was no doubt that he was the right man in the right place (Hear, hear). Although the Municipal Council did not derive any rates from the new buildings he had erected. they nev. :ertheless appreciated them greatly. He hoped it would not -long before the Brothers were approaching the Bishop for more money to enable additions to be carried out. One important factor in connection with the acquisition of such a building as that, was that its boarders came from the outlying districts, and by receiving them at Geraldton the town was being well advertised. His Lordship Bishop O'Collins referring to the Mayor's remarks that he hoped the Brothers would soon be approaching him for more monev for tot tensions to the building, said he did not know who built the college, but he had a fair idea who had to pay for it. Laughtor. ) He was delighted to be connected in any way with such a fine building as that college. Before he came t Geraldton he was informed that the Brothers in Geraldton were e xperiencing a difficult time. It was thought that they had become established here too soon: but those who thooght that had been more concern ed with the present than the future. Those who came afterwards were possessed with a broader vision, and were concerned with the future and its possibilities. Undoubtedly one of the men who had been responsible for a great deal of the progress that had been made was the Rev. Brother ConIn his closing remarks, His Lordship :on ---a man of great experience, broad paid a tribute to the work being per vision, and a great heart.

word education, and the best that was in a person was not what was in the persons mind alone, but also in his heart and soul. That was the prin. ciple on which their system of education was based--a principle enabling them to become good eitizens, both of their God and of their country. Although there were representatives of other denominations there that day, he wished to state that they as Catholics were suffering from an unjust and intolerable burden as regards education. They were suffering an injustice because they were called upon to support by the payment of taxation a system of education which the State had undertaken, and which was practically devoid of any religious zraining in its curriculum. The Catholic people could not accept that system of education, and consequently had to provides4heir own. It might he asked why the Catholic people lid not close their schools and adopt the system of the State schools and hict, schools, but, as he had already plained, it was contrary to their principles to exclude religious education from the teaching of their children. T he State laid down a certain system of education, but Catholic people, although they paid for the educatiin of their own children, nevertheless had to pay tax to the State the same as even'body else to pay for the erection of State schools and the expense of education generally. The taxation they paid to the State paid for education down to the last farthing, but because. as Catholics they could not conscientiously accept the State form of t,(111,- . . tion, they had to pay again for • education of their own children out of their own pocket.

Further sleepAlt accommodation is provided by the spacious verandahs on the east and w4-st sides of the building, and with excellent ventilation the boarders are enablfsd to receive the full benefit in the afternoon of the cool sea breeze. Alrea -ly housing over sixty boarders, the ticly hoarding school is at present eapab'c of accommodating an additional twenty boarders with comfort, while provision has also been made in the plans to permit of the addition of two ,vings to the building which, when ultimo tely completed. will increase the housing capacity to 150. To witness the proceedings connect. ed with the official opening of the building on Sunday, a large concourse of people. representative of the town and the surrounding district, gathered in the main class-room shortly before 3 p.m.. and among those in attendance in addition to His Lordship Bishop O'('erins, were -the Principal of the rhrictian Brothers' College in Geraldton Rey, Tiro. W. G. Downes), the Principal of the Christian Brothers' Farm School at Tarclun (Rev. Bro. P. 'A. cordon). Rev. Father Gallagher. the Mayor (Mr. G Lester), Mr. Tom Moore, M.L.C. Cr. H. J. Foster and others. Pupils of the new boarding school in their college uniforms were also in attendance, and as His Lordghip.

Downes. In submitting an interesting report concerning the activity of the Christian Brothers since first they became established in Geraldton, the Principal of the College i'Rey. Bro. W. G. Downes) said that it was in 1925 that the then Bishop of Geraldton (Rt. Rev Dr, Ryan) established the Christian Brothers in the town. Dr. Ryan was a firm believer in a system of education in which the teaching of religious and secular knowledge was combined. and which would enable the boys of the diocese to acquire a full primary and secondary education tinder conditions in which the secular and religious At first Ilibiects were co-ordinated. the accommodation for the , boarders was inadequate, and hence the Brothers and all well-wishers of the school looked forward to the time when an up-todate boarding college, with modern appliances, would be erected. In the subsequent years no one shared t hat feeling to a greater extent than their present revered Bishop iRt. Rev. O'Collins) and his progressive and f ar-seeing policy hal reached and energised every phase of activity in the diocese: churches, hospitals and schools
OFFICIAL OPENING CEREMONY
A VIEW OF THE REFECTORY,
Brothers were justified in their action in spending so much money in the interests of Catholic education. In conclusion, Bro. Downes congratulated the builders (Berry Bros.). and all associated with them in the building of - the college on the very satisfactory results of their work, which he said, had elicited complimentary comments from all competent to pass judgment on such matters. He assured the Bishop and the people of the diocese that the Brothers would do their utmost to further the interests of Catholic education in Geraldton and the surrounding districts. Speaking as the representative ,s.f the Principal Christian Brothers of Australia, Rev. Bro. Conlon said. the function that day marked an important step forward in the history of the vast diocese of Geraldton. Since His Lordship Bishop O'Collins had taken over the charge of the diocese, progress was to be seen on every side. Droughts and rust might come and all kinds of adverse circumstances be experienced, but the progress of that diocese, under the Bishop: went on unabated. If they were to travel os et t. Morawa, or as far north as Carnaryon, they would see schools, churches and convents being erected. and it must be very encouraging to the people and encouraging also to the Bishop, to know ,,that the people stood behind him in the promotion of CatholicAs the represenity in the diocese. tative also of the Provincial Council of the Christian Brothers, he was pleased to be in attendance at that ceremony, and he gave the Bishop his would assurance that the Brothers stand behind him too in his efforts to make the educational system of the diocese more efficient and effective. Perhaps some did not have a true idea of what the system of Catholic education really stood for. . It had for its object the training of both the mind and the heart of its punils and the development of the pupil both from the religious and the secular viewpoint: nor was the system a spasmodic one, but one which was most thorough and If they were to go to far-reaching. Melbourne or any of the other big cities, they would find that all the big religious orders had their training
ONE OF THE BOYS' DORMITORIES IN THE NEW COLLEGE. (Continued on Page 20. had sprung up in a very remarkable manner, and in every quarter, under The existence of his jurisdiction. that tine structure was, to a large exBishop tent, due to His Lordship O'Collins, who had done everything possible to render the building worthy of the noble cause for which it had been erected, viz., to train the future men of the State in religious and secular knowledge, in order to make them good Christians and worthy citizens. His Lordship the Bishop had helped the Brothers to achieve their objective in a very generous and material manner by presenting to them that residence and the eleven acres of land on which it was situated. and he took that opportunity, on behalf of the Brothers, of conveying to him their deep sense of gratitude for the valuable gift, and thanking him for his cooperation in their - efforts to supply the educational needs of the boys of the diocese. The most remarkable feature in connection with the college, 13ro. Downes ( ontinued. was the large increase in the number of boarders during the past Up to 1933 they had not few years. e xceeded -twenty at any time, but during the present year the average attendance had exceeded sixty boarders. In 1934 the Christian Brothers' Assistant General from Dublin (Rev. Bro. W. M. McCarthy, M.A.) visited the school, and after a consultation with Bishop O'Collins, had expressed himself as being much impressed with the possibilities of Geraldton as a centre Needless for a big boarding school. to state, his views were fully shared by His Lordship. The result was that building operations were soon commenced under the capable direction of the contractors (Berry Bros.), and the building as it now stood was capable of accommodating eighty boarders. With two additional wings it would be possible to house with comfort 150 The financial responsibility boarders. undertaken by the Brothers in connection with the building and its e quipment was considerable, as could be gathered from the fact that the total cost was approximately £9,000. However, he was confident that the people of the diocese, acting on the advice of Bishop O'Collins, would con tinue to patronise and support the college in the future as in the past. and thus prove that the Bishop and the

I got hamperitis the last time I went for a picnic, so I'm too nervous to go to one again, as they say the second attack is fatal.

I am enclosing 2/6 for the rescue of a Wallflower, also some used stamps. The pupils of St. Joseph's are having their usual concert on November 19, so we have not much time left in which to practice the items. Lots of love from your most sincere friend, xxxxxx VERA KELLY. P.S. Manjimup sends her love to you.—V. K. Dear Vera,—Thank you for the evidence of your thought for the Bushies and me, and the used stamps as well as the half crown were most welcome. Tell M-anjumup that letter I intended writing four months ago will probably arrive there on the eve of the old year, so I hope she has not given me up The concert should be a brilliant su. cess when you are holding it on the feast of St. Elizabeth of Hungary.
