"THE DEMORALISING COMPROMISE." A Chara, To anyone, who has read the letter ofi_ Lughaidh Breathnach and Padraig O Dalaigh, my own letter in your issue of November 12th, containing the report of the Ard-Fheis of 190!1, and, above all, D. Crowley's own characteristic evasions, it will he perfectly clear that anything I may say, however corroborated by the testimony of independent witnesses, can extract from unDiarmuid nothing but further insinuations I will now accompanied by any attempt at proof. leave Diarmuid (whether c ; Liath " or otherwise) to the charitable judgment of your readers, and to the well-merited castigation which he has received at the hands of Miss Mahon. Since the inception of the fight for compulsory Irish I have borne in silence with a series of the vilest falsehoods about me and with most malicious secret attempts to injure me in my capacities of Gaelic Leaguer and teacher, of professional man, and, worst of all, of a Diarrnuid has been the first to be practical Catholic. dragged into the open with his particular fabrications, but, as the fight for compulsory Irish is now over and won, I will henceforth treat his calumnies with the same contempt with which I have, heretofore, treated those of bigger men.

A GAELIC SUMMER SCHOOL FOR THE TYRONE GAEDHEALTACH.
A chara, In Greencastle and the districts that surround it the Irish language is as much alive all?-ong t�e older and middle aged portion of th� population as m some of the districts.awhich possess Insh colleges and summeF schools. I.. the localisms, 'i idioms and dialect of the North and North-west of Ulster are well worth preserving, how much more worthy of preservation is this peculiar dialect of Tir Eoghan. Tir Eoghan was for centuries the educational cen.tre of Ulster. In and around the court of the princes of Tyrone, learning was held in high esteem. The bards, poets, ollamhs, and brehons of �lster and of other provinces, frequently found their way there, and were always made welco�e: . This having been so IS it too much to claim that the language of this district is amongst the purest and richest and most idiomatic in all Ulstera? Though the dialect of this district is, strangely enough, more closely connected with or akin to those of Sligo and Leitrim th.an to these �f Donegal . and Antrim, still the salutations and greetmgs are entirely different to those in use in any other part of the Gaedhealtacht. Something very practical has been done �nd �s being done to save the o!d language here m this important stronghold of Gaeldom by Father McGowan, P.P., and by the teachers of his parish. Evening continuation schools were established in different centres throughout the parish, in each of which Irish was very successfully taught. But this is not enough.

FOR BILINGUAL SCHOOLS.
The Tralee Teachers Association passed the following resolution at its last meeting :-" That we emphatically express our dissatisfaction with the method of allocation of fees for the teaching of the bilingual program me recently promulgated by the Commissioners of National Education as unfair and degrading to Assistant. Teachers and mirnical to the interests of the Irish language. That the making of such a rule retrospecti_ve IS unjust in principle and questionable as regards its legality."
