24 THE every student burns the clear, steady fire of the true Catholic faith. ' Your efforts are not without results and results are more than marvelous. The actions of the graduates of this school prove to the most skeptical your wisdom in founding and sup- porting this institution of learning. Their lives show that your training and inspiration lingers even unto and beyond the portals of death. Your judgment in securing the Brothers of Holy Cross to instruct us can not be too highly commended. Your recent action in selecting the Reverend Thomas Conroy to succeed the almost incomparable Reverend John R. Quinlan has provided us with another enterprising and pro- gressive leader who has already proved greatly beneficial to the wel- fare of the school. We shall never forget that to you we owe not only a higher education, but whatever suc- cess we may attain in future years. We wish to take this occasion to extend our thanks for the more than satisfactory improvements our school building is now undergoing. They far exceed the expectations of even the most optimistic among us. When we stop to consider the mea- ger resources available to you for the upkeep of this school, and the things you have accomplished through self- sacrifice and holy endeavor, the re- sults are more than marvelous. Never discouraged, never faltering, even. when it seemed impossible to continue our school, you labored day after day' until today you command the admiration and respect of . every member of your diocese. Your large flock is one in which you can take a just pride. They could hardly be otherwise with such a good and noble leader to strengthen ECHO them by his own courage and blame- less actions. We can consider our- selves indeed favored by Christ in having you at the head of our com- munity. We all join our prayers with those of the faithful and well-wishers of your diocese in beseeching the gra- cious Saviour to permit you to re- main with us for many years to come. Even though He calls you, a faithful worker, to your eternal reward, mem- ory of you will always linger and your works will continue to manifest your wisdom to all those who enter these doors in future years. I repeat, no word we can speak, no deed we can do, will adequately ex- press our true feelings. They. are too deep for human utterance, too sacred for ears other than yours, or those of the glorious Christ you have served so well. ' In his response, Bishop Alerding pointed out the end and purpose of a school essentially Catholic, by show- ing that an education had to train the mind and heart, and by training these faculties, help us to work out God's destiny in our regard. He epito- mized the sciences and the sum of hu- man knowledge, and showed how we could fall short of the expectations of human life. After contrasting the two forms of education-purely sec- ular and the secular as combined with the religious-Bishop Alerding emphatically stressed what we ordi- narily style the externals of educa- tion. --Raymond M urphy, ,251 Frequent communion gives, first, a p e a c e f u l conscienceg second, strength against temptationg third, greater power of concentration in studies and in religion. -A Notre Dame Student.

26 THE NEW BOOKS FOR OUR LIBRARY We have recently received several new books for our library. Among these new books are several valuable, complete sets. We consider ourselves very fortu- nate in securing the complete set of twenty volumes of Classic Tales by Famous Authors. This is the Story Tellers' Edition which was limited to 6,000 numbers and registered copies. The Century Dictionary, an Ency- clopedia Lexicon of the English Lan- guage, in its twenty-four volume edition, is a precious duplicate of the more popular edition. The New Cambridge Edition of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare, With Historical and Analytical Prefaces, Comments, Crit- ical and Explanatory Notes, Glos- saries, A Life of Shakespeare, and a History of the English Drama, in thirteen volumes, will be most helpful to the students of the higher English classes. 'fThe Pictorial History of Fort Wayne, in two volumes, a review of two centuries of occupation of the region about the head of the Maumee River, by B. J. Griswold, also con- tains the story of the townships of Allen County written by Mrs. Samuel R. Taylor. I Indiana and Indianians is a His- tory of Aboriginal and Territorial Indiana and a Century of Statehood, in five volumes written and edited by Jacob Piatt Dunn. Historic Mackinac, by Edwin O. Wood, LL.D., is the title of a set of books we were most anxious to get last year, and a set we had to bor- row in order to carry out our histori- cal essay work. The new books include the works of the Abbe Constant Fouard, Emmet J. ECHO Scott, Lyman Beecher Stowe and others. And last but not least, a rare bind- ing of the The Diocese of Fort Wayne,-A Book of Historical Refer- ence, 1169-1907, by our own dear bishop, and founder of our school, the Right Reverend H. J. Alerding. The students of the Central Catho- lic High School thank Father Lafon- taine, through whose generosity this valuable addition to our library was made possible, for this and his many other praiseworthy kindnesses to us. - -Lester Cofmzefrs, '22. Assistant Librarian. What is an orphan? asked the teacher. None of the children seemed to know. - Well, I'm an orphan, said the teacher. Then a hand popped up and the smallest boy remarked, An .orphan is a woman who would like to be mar- ried but nobody'll have her. -The Balance Sheet CCincinnatiJ.
