Fernhill Ranch,
Hovato,California,
March 27th., 1922.
Rev.and dear Father;
Your letter of February twenty-first arrived
while I was on a motor trip through southern California and
has remained unanswered for that reason.
I am indeed glad to hear that you are succeeding in your
immigration project; hut I agree with your London friend that the
time is not propitious to obtain capital for any scheme; regardless
of merit. Surely there can he no doubt of the success of a Catholic
magazine in Ganada....but,money has been almost unobtainable.
Perhaps things will be a bit easier from now on: financial men seem
to think so and there appears to be a spirit of incipient optimism
that did not exist last autumn.
As to B.C.,things there are flat,if one is to believe all that
one hears. I am in touch with Kappel (72nd.lad) who was formerly in my
office of the Trans-Pacific, he is now in real estate and at the moment
has reached the linit of depression, xhere are times when 1 wonder
how long it is going to take for B.C. to recover fully from those
unfortunate 'booms'.
Canada's only hope,in my humble opinion lies in the successful
culmination of the work in which you are interested. More men on the
land and in the development of natural resources. But,Canada,both
in the spring and autumn of last year was hopeless in many ways.
I made a rather exhaustive survey of statistics with one of the
faculty at McGill. The result after tabulation was really depressing.
There were men in Montreal who were hungry. Hot the ordinary rotter
type either; keen,intelligent,educated men who deserved better treatment from a government for whom some of them had undergone years of
hell in France and Flanders. True,th# war is over,and no one has been
more opposed to the policy of those men who expected the nation to
maintain them in luxury for the remainder of their lives because they
fulfilled their duty at the moment by serving at the front. Never-the-
less,they have a right to expest Canada to fulfill both her duty and
her war-time promises.....and she has done neither. It is a fact too,
that in many instances Britishers (I am including Canadians) are
left unprovided for while Americans are given positions. And,underneath
the surface,in the alleyWays of Eastern Canada,and Western Canada also,
there exists today a stronger pro-Bolshevik influence,a far more
radical element,in consequence. Of these things I know whereof I
speak.Refusing to believe many of the tales I heard,I accompanied
two friends { one a member of the R.N.W.M.P., on plain clothes duty,
and a reporter on the Montreal Star) on a tour of investigation of
conditions. The result was too astounding for words,
lhat we need more than anything else is to 'blow our own bugle'
a bit;to awaken to the fact that we are a unit of the British Commonwealth and develope a pride in and love for the Union Jack. And,the
only way to do it is by offering some assistance to the man who is
willing to help himself.No man is going to feel any loyalty for a
country where he must starve to death.
Continuous aping of Americans,and American methods will never
get us anywhere. I have improved greatly since coming here; shall be leaving again
shortly but as yet have not definitely decided on my destination.
For many reasons I should like to venture into the interior
of Mexico. There are many Scotch and English there;opportunities
are said to be very good,and I have lost so much money in the past
year and a half that I am most desirous of getting into something.
Please address me here,it will be forwarded at once. In event
I decide to return to Britain I shall probably see you. At the
moment there is apparently nothing for me in Canada.
Sincerely wishing you all possible success,and continued
good health,I am,
Obediently yours, g>oc(et£ of ti)e f|oip Jlame,

^^ In the Name of Jesus and for
the Love of Jesus take our Cause

Success. FOREWORD.
LETTER from General Sir ARTHUR CURRIE,
K.C.B., K.C.M.G.
Corps Headquarters,
April 25th, 1918.
My attention has been drawn to the fact that in
one of the Divisions of the Corps there has been
formed the " Society of the Holy Name," the members
of which pledge themselves to honour the name of
God the Father and of Jesus Christ His Son and our
Saviour.
I would like to be enrolled as a member. I know
that on many occasions I shall probably fail, but, with
God's help, I shall try to keep His Name hallowed
and not to take it in vain.
In taking this pledge, our attitude should not be
merely a negative one. While pledging ourselves to
refrain from using blasphemous language, we should
endeavour by our words, by our actions, and by the
3 octets of t{)e f|ol£ jBtatne.
FOR CANADIAN SOLDIERS.
It is proposed to form a Society among Canadian Soldiers.
The object of the Society is to honour the name of Jesus, and
invoke thereby the Blessing of God on our arms, and so
obtain victory.
If we are to turn to God and ask His aid, the first thing
we should do is to hold His Name in reverence.
Our Lord has so taught us.
When we begin the Lord's Prayer in which we ask for our
needs, He has taught us to begin by praying that God's Name
be "hallowed," that is, that it beheld holy, and with love
and reverence by us who are now coming to Him with our
petition.
The Name of Jesus demands our greatest respect. What
can more clearly and forcibly show the great respect due to
this Sacred Name than the words of the Apostle St. Paul ?—
" God hath exalted Him, and hath given Him a Name which
is above all Names; that in the Name of Jesus every knee
should bow, of those that are in heaven, on earth and under
the earth; and that every tongue should confess that the Lord
Jesus Christ is in the glory of God the Father." Phil. ii.
This Name also calls for our confidence, for "It is the only
Name under Heaven given to men whereby we must be
saved." Acts iv. 12. Our Lord would encourage us te have this confidence without doubting, " I say to you if you ask the Father anything in
my Name, He will give it you." John xvi. 23.
Again, when this name was to be bestowed upon Him we
were given to understand all that it meant to mankind, " And
thou shalt call His name Jesus, for He shall save His people
from their sins." Matt. i. 2.
Accordingly we find that the Apostles learnt to have all
confidence in this Holy Name, and St. Paul lays down the
rule, "All whatsoever you do in word or in work, all things
do ye in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ." Col. iii. 17.
The Name of Jesus is holy, therefore it is deserving of
honour, and it is our duty to honour it. This Name is hoi}
(1) in its origin—
God is its Author. From all eternity He chose this
Name for His Only begotten Son, and caused it to be
announced to men. He prefigured It, and foretold It
in the Old Testament. It was prsefigured in Josue
(Joshuah), the son of Nun who led the chosen people into
the Promised Land, also in Jesus, son of Josedec
(Josedech) who led the children of Israel back from the
Babylonian Captivity.
He announced it to men by sending His Angel for that
purpose.
(2) Again, the Name is Holy because of the holiness of
Him who bore It.
In every case known to history, when a name becomes the
object of veneration it is in consequence cf the reverence,
love, and gratitude due to the person who bore the name.
In every age and every nation men distinguished by virtues
and noble deeds are held in honour.
8 But what are these all if we compare them with Our Divine
Saviour as man and as God ?
(6) The Name of Jesus is holy in its meaning.
This Name comprises all that God the Son has done to
merit to be so called. He merited this Name. "He hath
humbled Himself, becoming obedient unto death, even to the
death of the Cross. For which cause God also hath exalted
Him, and given Him a Name which is above all names."
Phil. ii.
The Name of Jesus, Our Saviour, comprises the whole
Gospel. "Neither is there salvation in any other, for it is
the only Name under Heaven given to men whereby we
must be saved." Acts iv. 12.
Therefore as it is thus holy with threefold holiness, honour
It in your heart, with your lips, and in your actions.
Realizing what honour, reverence and love is due to this
Holy Name, the members of the Society will always utter it
with reverence and love and in prayer—will undertake on their
word of honour to avoid altogether its improper use in profanity,
cursing or in idle and vain talk, and in order further to honour
this Holy Name they undertake to avoid all ribald talk, every
form of foul language, especially such as partakes of lewd and
filthy indecency of speech.
Whoever will thus, for the sake of God and his neighbour,
discipline himself and restrain his tongue from offence may,
with the greatest confidence, approach the Eternal God in his
hour of trial, and in the Name of Jesus ask for the aid that he
needs.
There is a great example that may be quoted here. One
of the greatest and most successful leaders of men in this
France in which we are fighting was the Maid of Orleans, the
Blessed Joan of Arc. Her career is one of the most astonishing
episodes in the eventful story of France. When she, a simple
village maid following the bidding of her inspiration,
9 • undertook to liberate her country, all the strong places therein
were in the hands of the enemy. In a few short months there
was a most wonderful transformation, and the power of the
enemy was broken. How was it done? It is a marvellous
story that cannot here be recounted. But among the first
rules laid down by the Maid for her soldiers was this—That
if they were to have the blessing of God on their arms and
achieve victory, they must restrain their tongues from all
profanity and blasphemy, and honour the Holy Name of our
Lord. On the banner that she always carried into battle was
inscribed the word " Jesus."
There was one old General who gave the Maid much
trouble. For many long years swearing and profanity were
second nature to him.
Like others,he had learnt to show the greatest respect to
the opinions and wishes of "Joan of Arc, and ardently desired
therefore to break himself of the evil habit. He made brave
efforts, and his frequent lapses into violent and profane language
were a source of great pain to him because he knew that they
offended his well-beloved leader. She, knowing his trouble,
made things easy for him, and allowed him to make use of
the phrase,"I swear by my Sword," thus giving him an outlet
for the explosions of his fiery temper.
The honour given by the efforts of the Maid to the Holy
Name of God, and the discipline and self-restraint that its
daily practice entailed upon the French soldiers were the sure
harbingers of most notable victory.
We are now fighting, in the greatest war of history, and
undoubtedly we are in need of the Divine assistance. We
have a just Cause—we are fighting for Right and Justice, and
God is in our quarrel.
Let us then begin to come nearer to God by honouring His
Name, by using it always with reverence, and with the utmost
confidence invoking it to gain strength and guidance to our
arms and so achieve victory.

Major-General Sir DA VID WA TSON,
K.C.B., C.M.G.,
G.O.C. 4th Canadian Division.
The remarks in this leaflet are of beautiful religious sentiment, and contain sound advice, which
should make all its readers better men.
I earnestly hope that every officer, N.C.O. and
man in the Division which I have the honour to
command will read and take to heart the contents of
this leaflet.
Major-General L. J. LIPSETT, C.B.. C.M.G..
C.O.C. 3rd Canadian Division.
A man is all the better soldier for a firm faith and
belief in the Divine Power, but, irrespective of the
religious aspect, profane, obscene and boastful language
is unmanly and unbecoming. I am glad to think that it is not common amongst
our men.
I hope that the pamphlet will have a wide circulation in this Division and be sympathetically considered
bv alt ranks.
Major-General A. C. MACDONELL,
C.B., CM G., D.S.O.,
G.O.C. 1st Canadian Division.
This little leaflet is timely, helpful and needful,
pointing out our duty in touching and convincing
language, supported by well chosen proofs from Holy
Writ. I am most anxious that it shall be placed in
the hands of all ranks of the 1st Canadian Division.
We shall all be the better for reading it, and adhesion
to the Society of the Holy Name will be a strong
prop to support many a man who might otherwise
transgress thoughtlessly or wilfully.
□ HYMN.
"For it is the only Name under heaven given to men
whereby we must be saved."
To the Name of our Salvation
Laud and honour let us pay,
Wnich for many a generation
Hid in God's foreknowledge lay.
But with holy exultation
We may sing aloud to-day.
Jesus is the Name we treasure.
Name beyond what words can tell;
Name of gladness. Name of pleasure.
Ear and heart delighting well;
Name of sweetness passing measure.
Saving us from sin and hell.
'Tis the Name for adoration.
Name for songs of victory.
Name for holy meditation.
In this vale of misery.
Name for joyful veneration
By the citizens on high-
'Tis the Name that whoso preacheth
Speaks like musjc to the ear;
Who in prayer this Name beseecheth
Sweetest comfort findeth near;
Who its perfect wisdom reacheth
Heavenly joy possesseth here.
Jesus is the Name exalted
Over every other name; .
In this Name, whene'er assaulted.
We can put our foes to shame;
Strength to them who else had halted.
Eyes to blind and feet to lame.
Therefore, we in love adoring,
This most blessed Name revere.
Holy Jesu, Thee imploring
So to write it in us here
That hereafter heavenward soaring
We may sing with Angels there.

Rev. A. MacDonell, O.S.B.,
740 View Street,
Victoria, B.C.
Rev. and dear Father:-
I have your letter of October 18th sent to
me through Archbishop Hayes. Here are some of the things I have
to say in reply to the questions you ask in your letter.
Our schools compare very favorably with the
public schools of Hew York City and with those of New York State.
In the entire state we are educating 249,000 children in Parochial
schools. Nearly all these tohildren take the Regents State Examinations of their own accord in the 6th, 7th and 8th grades. For
the last twenty years they have done this and they have always
achieved signal success. Ninety-five percent of those entering
receive credit and a large portion of them get over 90$.
We never enter into any competition with the
public schools as such, but there is a widespread conviction in
every town, village and hamlet, that the Parochial schools are
doing better work. Business men say so and there is always a
demand for the graduates of our schools.
Our children are not handicapped in any way,
just the reverse. The children in the public schools are handicapped by their fads etc. and I say this advisedly because it is
impossible for the teachers to do the children justice. The
public school teachers are a splendid body of men and women for
whom I have the greatest respect, but for years past they have
not been able to do the good work they should do.
The State Education Law requires that
teachers in private and Parochial schools should be competent;
it does not require that they should be qualified or certified.
This would mean that they would have to be high schools graduates
and specially trained. All of our teachers, or nearly all, are
high school graduates. All our religious teachers have State
certificates. (Hije Nnu fork (Eatfyalu: #rJ|anl Inarn

i be to make marketing conditions as profitable as
possible to themselves. th national railwaya running at a lose,
owing to insufficient traff spite of ratec which
farmers claim mast come down in line with other costs,
and millions of productive serss unoccupied near these

cannot ask toss without transportation.

GOVERNMENT SCHEME FOR AGRICULTURAL TRAINING OF BRITISH
YOUTHS IN ALBERTA, CANADA.
The Government of the Province of Alberta have entered into an arrangement with His
Majesty's Government to provide during the coming winter a course of training in agriculture
for youths and young men from this country (age desired, seventeen to twenty-five) at the
Provincial Agricultural School at Vermilion on the Canadian National Railway, one hundred
miles west of Edmonton.
The School, which it is proposed to reserve entirely from the 1st October, 1924, to the
31st March, 1925, for the purposes of the proposed course, is capable of accommodating 150
pupils at one time, and the proposed scheme can only be arranged if not less than 100 applicants
are selected and proceed to Canada to undertake the training, -- -
Each applicant will be required to pay 30 dollars a month—roughly £7 10s.—for board and
lodging, and should, therefore, have in his possession on arrival in Vermilion not less than £50.
The actual training will be paid for jointly by the Government of Alberta and by His Majesty's
Government.
Further details regarding the proposed course may be obtained at the Oversea Settlement
Office, 3-4, Clements Inn, Strand, London, W.C.2, at the Offices of the Superintendent of
Emigration for Canada, 1, Regent Street, London, S.W.I, and from the various Canadian
Government Emigration Agents whose addresses are annexed. The course will include practical
outdoor work, and during the winter months, especially December, January and February,
instruction in the laboratories and class-rooms. It will comprise :—
(a) Field husbandry, including the handling of two, three, four and six-horse teams,
harrowing, ploughing, &c ; -.,
(b) The care and management and-marketing of Jive stock %
(c) Farm mechanics, including carpentry, black-smithing, gas engines and farm motors,
and the mechanics of farm machinery ;
(d) Dairying;
■■ (e) The principles of poultry farming;
; (/) Horticulture, including vegetables and small fruits ;
(g\ The study of such insect pests; blights, mildews, &&, as occur in Western Canada ;
'. (h) Farm management and economics, and. ■ ■;...
..J (i) Elementary veterinary science.
The Government of Alberta undertake to find each student employment as from the beginning
of April, 1925, for the ensuing summer upon a suitable farm within the Province. After a winter's
training at the Agricultural School and a summer spent in practical farm work, lie should have
no difficulty in finding continuous employment. The wages earned during the summer would
depend upon the age and efficiency of the individual concerned. The average rates in Alberta
last summer, for general farm hands were $40 per month for experienced men, and $25 per
month for inexperienced men, with board and lodging. Should a student desire a more advanced
course during the second winter in the Province, a five months' course will be available for him
at one of the Agricultural Schools free of cost except for the expenses of board and lodging.
It is the belief of the Alberta Government and of His Majesty's Government that the proposed training should place the pupils in an advantageous position to earn their livelihood as
farm workers, thus acquiring the local experience which is essential before taking up farming
in Canada, and in due course enable them to save enough money to start farming on their
own account. Applications may be made on the annexed form, and should be sent, in the first instance,
either to the Superintendent of Emigration for Canada or to the nearest Canadian Government
Emigration Agent. (See list on p. 4). A medical examination will be necessary before final
approval can be given. Approved applicants will, where necessary, be granted a loan of the cost
of their journey to Alberta under the Empire Settlement Act, the amount to be repayable in
periodical instalments after settlement.

mentioned that the interest charged by Directors
and British Government was 6$f I was told that
both wore now practically out, and the interest
would be 6#* To that I am not reconciled. In
fact, I was so surprised at the time that I was
.struck dumb. I am always, in these matters, a
slow thinker, otherwise, I would have stuck to
ray guns as I should have done.
I have always considered 6f» on
land in Western Canada to be too high a rate of
interest. Such rates may be all right on industrial projects but on land, particularly, during
the period of depression, 6$ is usurious and immoral .
The .land is very good security
especially if it is bo be upgraded in price as
soon as the present occupant vacates. But the
upgrading of prices and' continuance of 6^ is just
plainly wicked and is clear evidence that the welfare of the settlers is not the paramount interest.
It means that measures are allowed that undoubtedly
militate against permanent settlement.
This procedure militates against
the interest of the settlers, against the bast
inteassts of the country. Prosperity of the farming
community is, and always will, secure stability and
prosperity of the country. Who would try to maintain, that the poverty and the servitude of the farmers during the depression has redounded to the good
of anyone? Man, despite better prices, since the
war commenced have not fully recovered their morale
and farming as a way of life is not at all in the
high esteem that is desirable and it deserves.
A* for the farm No, 82, It Is
sought by young Alph* Fisher who at present rents it.
It is not much of a farm. In fact, Fisher would not
have applied £»r it nod he knows it well, except for
the fjet th:..t across the road is'his father*s farm
and there is much moi* to this than would normally
appear. There are three members of this family
stricken by Infantile paralysis and helplessly crippled, dumb and witless. There is generous sacrifice
as well as courage implied in the purpose of hewing
his father.
As for farm No. 53, which consists
of a half section. It is sufficiently high priced.

Yours of 16th, dated Seattle to hand. The
preparation of the r-iap has been a large undertaking but I have at
last got it completed, I rushed off one copy and sent it to °t.
Peter's Seminary. Other copies will be ready tomorrow and I will
distribute as you suggest,
I hope you will be successful. The proposition looks better every angle it takes, "Then I was l&oking
over the prices at the South end of the City I was amased. Our
prices are not nearly so high, T asked Solly what price he puts
on the land lying to the Horth of the City (Between the Hospital
and the Football, grounds. The Company is not offering this for
sale and he referred me to Mr. T7alkem the local agent. Mr. "ralkem
told me the same story so T asked him to place a valuation on it
and he said that |450. per acre was the lowest valuation he could
prive and he thinks-this exceedingly reasonable.
T ennuired into the prices Hillier got
for lots in the Hillier Addition. Those' ranged from $300, to |500,
per lot. The Hillier Addition is further removed from the City
limits than lot 96, is, I am enclosing a map of the Southern end
which shows how prices range there. This does not show Lot 96. as
the map is cut off just where lot 96 begins but it is quite easy
for vou to place it.
As soon as I get the other maps printed I
will
;nd them off.

Of "wipers" and "snipers" good yarns I could spread,
But I'll tell you a yarn of my dug-out instead:
It measures, six "by four, and it isn't very high,

Sometimes I can sleep in it, but "sometimes" is most rare,

I was awakened shortly after, my matress move*, about,

OFFICE OF

OTTAWA, CANADA
15th December. 1921,
Dear Father MacDonald,
This is to formally acknowledge the
receipt of your report of November 18th, describing
your experience while overseas from June last for
the purpose of encouraging settlers, especially
from the West Highlands of Scotland, and islands
adjacent thereto, to come to Canada.
I desire on behalf of the Department to
thank you for the splendid effort which you have
made, and to compliment you upon the results which
you achieved.
I am having your account for expenses
since leaving London placed in the hands of our
Accountant (Mr. Morisset) for his consideration.
Yours very truly,
The Hev. Father Andrew MacDonald

Dear Mr* Black:— -
I wish to place before you an individual case gk£ i
would be emigrant typical of hundreds of others in the highland*
of Scotland*
Herman Kacheed is a erof ter of a very good tZ>e* bard-
working, honest and in everything thoroughly reliable. Ee rents
a large croft, has a stocfc of perhaps ten to twelve head ef
iiigliland cattle, sixty aead of sheep and a pair of horses. By dint
ef very hard work, with the assistance of two grown up sons, he
is able to eke ©tit an existence for himself, wife and nine of a
family. It is all the time upZ.ll work. During the war, with the
better prices existing, he was able to pay off loans aade to hi®
by the Goverraaent for the purpose of ia. rroving his house and buying his stock. He is now free, and is beginning to realise that
ifZe got to Oaaada, at tZ aa"->ense of t. o r:c:c labour new put on
very poor land, in the new eoimtrjr lie would tw&m a richer and more
abundant re-aard. Should he sell off he weuld realize i I £%QO
for the whole. To pay for* fee transportation of himself and
family, at the pre sea:. ■ a-crj, t \ i m of at least £228 would be
required. This would leave hia with only £,f2 to start life with en
this side, and that is just a little too anxious a proposition for
a father of a large family to undertake. Should seme scheme be
for the oi ling by which such a mm could be aided in the transperta-
tion of . ;;,:• ... :".ly t© Canada lie would escie at once-f and he and
his very fine faaaily would be valuable settlers for Canada. I
■was told by *'"r. ':'-lant, Secretary of the Overseas Settlement Officec
in ond-aa, ,"..-.. o if the Dominien Government paid one half the Britisl
Government would pay the other half of transportation, said that
for a selected number of such nen as 1 am in touch with - J? 00 raen
with families and upwards*
If the above could not be Iraanediately put in hand
. or: m Baeleed is a man to whoa a loan of transportation money
could be Eiade with the utmost security and with his large family
of workers he eoaia very soon repay every penny ef the loan. This
would leave him with his little capital intact to- enable him to
Z:e a first a at on a fans.
If either of the above su ejections could be put in hand
I could personally guarantee a very fine body of hardworking Scots
determined to better themselves, aaa waose value to Canada could
not be Questioned*

My dear Father Andrew :«
I wonder whether I could not hold you
tight in my claim for "Kineras". You know very well that it is
quite euphonic,not hard to pronounce and as to the objection
that an explanation would be required all the time,the fact
is that its meaning has never been found by the most erudite
of Keltic scholars. Besides this it is on our old friend
Lovat's est ate,and I have the extreme satisfaction of knowing
that in those troublous days following the overthrow of the
Catholic church in Scotland,my distant kinsman,Alexander
Praser of Kineras,was so possessed of that fin£ Highland
sense of hospitality as to make it a pleasure to him not
only to emtertain but to conceal and protect in his house
fl£ Kineras some of the fugitive priests whose lives were imperilled and who would have been seized and either boiled or
burnjb or caused to suffer some other unmentionable torture,had
they been caught. So you see that I am putting forward a very
touching and pathetic appeal which I feel perfectly sure will
not only reach your heart but your conscience. However this may
be, I stand tip for "Kineras" against all odds as a beautiful ana
fitting name for the settlement.
I hope that the information regarding the settlement Alexander Fraser. LL D.. L itt. D

We have now secured an explanation
from our London Office as to the delay in the sailing of
the LAWRMOl family. Mr. Smith says that Mr. Lawrence
applied to our Bristol Office .first in June, 1921, but
there being no position available, his case was deferred. On March 6 last Mr. Smith wrote to the Oversea
Settlement Office requesting the issue of transportation and supposed that the matter had. been attended
to promptly. He was not aware until receipt of our
cable of April 22 that the transportation warrant
had been delayed; as a matter of fact, it was delayed for five weeks in the Oversea Settlement
Office.

As the voucher books are issued we will get them back here
and from here get in touch with the C.P.Ry who will send
a man personally to book the party thus saving confusion.
Wired C.P.R. this morning to cable you to know destination
to book your people and others, it means a lot to get them
sent to Toronto and. then have them pay their fares to
Chatham,local fare.
1 fear the men y&u booked farther north and did not get
their O.S.I, forms or D Forms completed will be a wash out.

Fop tho purpose of helping and oaring
for settlers ?/hoa you bring out from Scotland and Great

permanently in Alberta, and also that the ease be used as
a central headquarters for your further work in colonisation,
the Government of Canada is leasing to the Scottish Immigrant
aid Society at One dollftr ■ year for a first period of five
years, the Farm and Buildings formerly used as an Indian School
situated near E©d Beer, in the Province of alberta.
If at the end of four years the Department decides to discontinue tlvs lease, you will be given one

We are glad to see from the new number of the Inter-
UniwrHty Magazine that .the movement towards
federation among the Catholic University Societies is
making steady progress. During this term the temporary committee will, it is hoped, draw up a Constitution, which will be agreed upon, and on the next
occasion on which University men and women can meet
together, as they did at Liverpool, there is a good hope
that they will do so. as a definite Federation. -Links
are also being forged with Catholic Universities abroad,
and a deputation from England has been invited to
the Congress of Czecho-Slovak Catholic Students at
Prague in July.
An interesting by-product of the Federation movement is the scheme for the vblication of literature of
the sort needed by U.nivosi students. I.U.M. gives
very full and encouraging reports of the progress of the
various University Societies, and the story of the
foundation of thafc-of Durham is especially interesting.
We are grateful to see that the Universe has been of
so much use to the Northern students, whose representative writes:—
Every reader of the I.U.M. should get the
Universe, too, and every reader of the Universe
should take the I.U.M.
Letters on editorial matters should be sent to Father
Martindale, at Campion House, Oxford, and business
letters to Miss T. Taylor, 41, Windle Street, St. Helens,
Lanes. . The subscription for a year is 3s. 6d., post free,

The Recent London Dinner.
One of the most interesting features of the London
University Students' dinner, which we reported last
week, was the presence of Miss Tuke, Head of Bedford
College, whose arrangemenls for Catholic women
students, and especially Religious, have been so ample
and generous.
Miss Tuke's personal testimony to the qualities of
her Catholic students was deeply appreciated. She said
that she had noticed that these were always distinguished by the note of loyalty. She was not merely
alluding to members of religious orders, for whom it
was by their rule and training comparatively easy, but
also to those who were living, in the world. When
Catholic students entered Bedford College she always
looked from them for something different in outlook
and character from those from other schools. The
education of the intellect must be accompanied by the
forming of character. That was successfully carried
out in Catholic schools.
Glasgow Annual Reunion.
St. Aloysius' College, Garnethill, Glasgow, was the
scene of an interesting meeting of the above 'Varsity
Sodality, the occasion being the annual.reunion of the
graduate and undergraduate members. In the unavoidable absence of the President, Prof. J. S. Phillimore,
LL.D., J.P., the- chair was occupied by the Prefect,
Mr. P. McGlynn, M.A., Humanity Lecturer in the
University, and a distinguished company included Mr.
L. P. W. Renaif, B.Sc, Lecturer in Zoology at the
University and a Vice-President of the Sodality ; MY.
Brown, M.A., History Lecturer at the University;
Ore. Colvin, Scanlon, Conway, Henry, Bastable, and
Maguire; Messrs. T. White,.B.L., Frank.Corway, B.L.,
Downie, the artist, Wm. Thornton, LL.B., Tom Murrav,
L.D.S., B. Dempsey, L.D.S., Ernest J. T. Thompson,
M.A., secretary of the Students' Union, representing
the University; P. A. Wilson, M.A., President of the
University Liberal Club; RonaM MacPhail, sub-editor
of the University Magazine; Jas. Higgins, representing
the Catholic Institute ; J. Kay, representing the Glasgow
Catenians; R. E. O'Keefe, representing tho Edinburgh
University Catholic Students Union; Councillor O'Hare,
B.L., as well as over 100 undergraduate members of
the Sodality. Rev. Fathers Dinley, S.J., Rector of St.
Aloysius' College; E. D. Hanson, S.J., Headmaster;
Rota, S.J., Chaplain to the Edinburgh Union: and
Bullen, Chaplain to the Sodality, were also present.
The proceedings took the form of a smoking concert,
an excellent programme being sustained by '' The Merry
Four," " The Five Jocks," and Dan Fraser (by kind
permission of the managers of the Royal, Pavilion, and
Olympia. Theatres respectively), as well as many clever
" turns " from members of tl; Sodality, and the general
student body at the University. At an interval, during
which refreshments were served, a specially convened
meeting of the graduate members of the Sodality was
held to organise the new graduate section of the
Sodality. This was followed by a short address from
Mr. E. j. T. Thompson, Secretary of the Union, who,
in regretting the absence of the President of the
Students' Union, Mr. D. Hamilton, M.A. expressed
his pleasure at the cordiality and warmth of his reception, and his pleasure at the flourishing state of the
Catholic Students' Sodalitv. The Chairman then intimated that Celtic F.C., per Mr. T. White, B.L., had
made a gift to the Sodality of the sum of £10 10s., that
a similar gift had been received from the Glasgow
Catenians, and that Air. Downie, the artist, had gifted
to the Sodality a picture, the proceeds from its disposal
to be handed over to the Sodality Funds. (Cheers.)
The second part of the programme was then completed. A hearty vote of thanks was afterwards accorded to the artistes, the managers of the theatres,
and Mr. Peter Berry and Dr. P. Maguire, who acted
as efficient accompanists, on the motion of ,Mr. P. A.
Wilson, M.A., President of the University Liberal Club.
On the motion of Mr. L. P. W. Renaif, B.Sc, a vote
of thanks was also accorded to the Reunion Committee,
the members of which were Messrs. E. J. Boyle,
Cowener, A. Brans, and D. Kelm. The meeting then
terminated with a spirited rendering of the 'Varsity,
chorus, " Ygorra."
Birmingham Newman Society.
The Rev. C. C. Martindale, M.A.,-recently gave a
lecture on " Genesis and Evolution " to the B.U.N.S.,
as the Birmingham Society is familiarly called. Mr.
Power presided. The lecturer explained that Genesis
was written to counteract the prevailing current of
Eastern philosophy, the cardinal tenet of which wsja
the belief that all matter was inherently evil, and therefore man was irresponsible. He quite cleared up any
difficulty the students might have had with regard tc*
the division of the work of Creation into days.
Rugby football at Ware.
The introduction of Rugby football at St. Edmund's
fully justified itself in the display given by the first XV.
in the first outside match, against Mr. Fuller's XV.
Mr. Fuller, the well-known member of the Old Merchant
Taylors', Mr. HuskisKon, and Mr. Burnege, members
of the same club, undertook the initial instruction in
the game at the College at the beginning of last term.
Mr. Fuller's XV. consisted largely of past and present
members of the O.M.T., and when it is known that
the visitor's pack was led by Mr. Huskisson, the present
captain of the O.M.T. and captain of the South of England team of 1920, the standard of play achieved by,
the College XV. merits no little praise.
The game was keenly contested throughout. The zeal
shown by the College was admired on all sides, particularly by the supporters of the visitors, most of whom
were keen enthusiasts of Rugby football. The final
score—20 points to 19' point6 in favour of the visitors—
is sufficient testimony of the keenness of the game.
The tackling by. the College XV. merited the praise
which it received, and but for several instances of plucky
and determined tackling the score would probably have
been more to the disadvantage of the College. ■
The scorers for the College were: i L. Biggie, the
College captain, two tries, one converted by himself
and the other by R. Sherwin; V. McCarthy, one try,
converted by R. Sherwin; and a dropped goal by J.
McEntee.
THE S.V.P. SOCIETY.
The Need of Catholic Guardians.
The importance of Catholic representation on boards
of guardians and borough councils was strongly emphasised at the quarterly meeting of the Society • of St.
Vincent de Paul, held at St. Joseph's School, High-
Kate, on Sunday last; Qyex two hundred Brothers
attended the meeting, but the President, Sir John
Knill, and the secretary, Mr. Leonard C. Lindsay, were
unavoidably absent. Brother White (E. Finchley) took
the chair, and there were also present the Very Rev.
Father Cuthbert, C.P. (rector of St. Joseph's), Father
Chrysostom, C.P., Brother J. J. Sheehy (President of
the Local Conference), and Brother Whitehead. Many
new members were also introduoed.
Brother White, in opening the proceedings, appealed:
for extra visitation of the poor on the part of the
Brothers. Many of them apparently thought that if
they had no financial assistance to offer, there was no
good to be done, whereas the chief objedt of theif Society^
was that of caring for the spiritual needs of the poor,
rather than looking after their temporal needs.
In welcoming the Society, Father Cuthbert emphasised the same point.* Modern philanthropy, he said,
had entirely failed in this respect. The-Society had
accomplished a wonderful work in enlisting the services
of laymen all over the world to work for the poor.
The Brothers were always the prudent and efficient
helpers of the clergy, and through their offices the
Church was extended and its efforts facilitated. Though
their conference was. in a flourishing condition, there
seemed some hesitation on the part of some to take
up the work of visiting the poor, owing to a false impression that the latter had no wish for strangers to
come into their homes. He said that this was not the
case, and the Brothers need never be afraid of undertaking the task.
A Call for the Young.
Father Chrysostom having spoken, Brother Sheehy
gave an account of the present position of the Local
Conference, which, though having a small membership,
had, he felt, accomp^hed much in their work.
Brother Whitehead gave a detailed account of the
course to be adopted when applying for outside Poor
Law relief. Though such applications had to be made
direct to the Relieving Officer, a Brother could pave
the way by introducing the ease. Be also outlined the
general rules obtaining in connection with outdoor relief
in boards of guardians.
It is hoped to draw up a list of specimen cases for
the guidance of Brothers, and application should be
mad3 to the secretary of the Secretariate of the Poor
at the Society's offices, B2, Victoria Street, S.W. 1.
Brother Whitehead appealed to members to get the
support and active co-operation of young men. It would
be of the utmost use if they were to get them elected
to boards of guardians, and they would be found to
take a whole-hearted interest in the work. Brother
Flynn supported the appeal. Brother Jones, who has
had much experience in this connection, said there
was still a suspicion of bigotry on public bodies, and
if the Catholic poor were to get all that was due to
them, it was up to the Brothers of the Society to be
in a position to make successful efforts in this jdirection.
On the motion of Brother V. St. Laurence, a vote
of thqijes was passed to Father Cuthbert: for his
presence. Prior to the meeting, Father Cuthbert THE UNIVERSE, lEBRUARY 18, 1021.

CARDINAL MANNING ON IRELAND IN 1867.
His Pastoral Read in all Westminster Churches ;?.st Sunday.
"Ever since I was of age to know the history of Ireland, all the sympathy of my heart has been
with its faithful, noble, and martyred people."
His Eminence the-Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster issued the foil >wing Pastoral Letter on
Quinquagesima Sunday to be read last Sunday, in addition to the one previously issued and publicly
read on Sunday week :—
DEAR REVEREND FATHER

are unwarily allowing themselves to become implicated, by active sympi.
operation, in societies and organisations which are in opposition to the Vaws of God and of the
Catholic Church.
A similar danger arose in London in 1867, and Tny great Predecessor, the then Archbishop
Manning, in words inspired by zeal for God's honour, and burning with h s constant and unfailing
love for Ireland and her faithful people, uttered the needed warning.
I take that warning, heard fifty-four years ago, and I make it my own «o-day.
The name " Fenianism V is now no longer in use, but the activity that it connoted is still alive,
and the denunciation of the second Archbishop of Westminster applies in unchanging measure to
that activity to-day, by whatsoever name it may be caUed. It may be known unerringly by its
principles, by its teachings, aid by its fruits.
I desire the words of my Predecessor to be used continually for the s feguarding of the whole
flock, and for your guidance, dear Reverend Father, in the direction of inciii idual consciences.
Parliament will meet again next week with the firm purpose, it is to b. hoped, of dealing justly
and promptly with this tragedy of Ireland. Urge your people to be const; nt in prayer throughout
Lent for this intention, and let them have it in mind whenever they hear Ms ss or receive Holy Communion.
. I enjoin that this Letter and the enclosed reprint of the Letter of Archbishop Manning be read
to the faithful in all our Churches on Sunday next, the first Sunday of Lent.
May God bless you all and have you ever in His keeping,

PASTORAL LETTER
of his Grace Archbishop Manning for
the Feast of Saint Patrick, 1867.
■'?«7ised for
I Xfartv-vatgofK '"fl-3
oj space.—Editor.)
On this feast of St. Patrick I speak to you with a
mixed feeling of jov and sorrow. The Festival of your
great Apostle and Father brings vividly before us the
grace which through him has descended upon you, and
upon your children, and likewise his glory, which
through your faith is always increasing both on earth
and in heaven.
Excepting the Apostles of our Divine Master,
there is perhaps no Saint whose spiritual children
are so faithful and so fervent, so numerous or so
widely spread.
They are in Ireland, England, and Scotland, in
Canada, throughout the United States, on the shores
of both their seas, in the West Indies,'in India, in
Australia, in the Islands of the Pacific.
it is a wonderful fact in the Providence of God that
when the English tongue "began to contradict the
Catholic Church, the children of St. Patrick took it
as if their own, and have spread the Catholic faith
wheresoever the English speech is heard : not only
throughout the Empire of Britain, but wheresoever the
Anglo-Saxon race and language have extended. North
America and Australia are evidently marked out for
a great future. Empires will one day rise out of them :
and in their destinies the children of St. Patrick must
bear a large proportion.
Saint Patrick and his Children.
St. Patrick has left on record his confidence that the
people whom God had given him, in the ends of the
earth, would never be lost to his inheritance; and that
confidence has been signally justified, . The children
of St. Patrick have continued faithful to their Saint
i'u'i will. :i fidelity not sui[Mj»eii by any nation
of the Christian world. This day bears witness throughout the world that you are steadfast to the faith he
taught you, and to the laws which he delivered to
you.
He" has taught you to believe the Holy Catholic Faith,
to hold fast by the Catholic Unity, and to adhere,
even at the cost of life, to the Vicar of Jesus Christ.
By hie example and by his words he has taught you
the duty of mortification, of detachment from the world,
and of peacefulness. This is the inheritance of the
children of St. Patrick, and these are the fruits he will
look to find in return for all his toil. And I bear witness that in steadfast adherence to the Catholic faith
and to the Catholic Church, and in close filial union
with your pastors, you show yourselves to be the true
children of St. Patrick, throughout this great city and
in all the world.
This, then, is the cause of my joy.
An Accumulation of Evils and Sufferings.
But I have also a cause of sorrow. It is because the
country we love so well is at this moment in affliction.
You have a right to know my thoughts at such a time
as this, and I have a duty to warn and to guide you.
God forbid that I should be silent when I ought to
speak, or that I should in mistaken prudence keep
back from vou what vou ought to know. I do so the
more freely because ever t'nce I was of age to know
the history of Ireland, all Hie sympathy of my heart
has been'' with its fairhfr. noble, martyred people.
If my prayers or my effoi ran avail anything, they
shall never cease for firela
The centuries of eyi e --u
bittered seven-iota ru .. ;-.:. .: ■; ^, ■
religion, have left upon Ireland an accumulation of evils
and sufferings which generations alone can remove.
But removed they must and will be, if only the
gradual and onward movement of England and Ireland
to perfect unity and equality be not hindered by
violence.
Past and Present.
There is no returning; upon the past; The wheat in
the ear cannot go back into the stalk, nor the stalk
into the blade. As the world moves onward, the
Providence of God calls into existence new social orders :
and out.of them arise right, justice, and sovereignty.
For this reason the Apostle says, ■' Let every soul be
subject to higher powers: for there is no power but
from God : and those that are. are ordained of God."
In these words St. Paul is speaking of the Heathen
Empire of Rome: of a civil power always active in
persecuting the Church. He declares the government
of the Empire to be from God, and to have a claim
upon the conscience of Christians to obey it. If so, the
Empire of Great Britain has the same rights and claims,
the same obligation on our conscience, and on our
obedience. To rise against it, is.to resist the ordinance
of God : and they that resist shall receive to themselves
not only the penalties of man, but the judgment of
God.
We have long ago warned"those who praised,
flattered, abetted, justified, glorified the revolutions
of the Continent, and above all the revolution in
Italy, to take heed lest their own principles should
recoil upon themselves.
They have recoiled upon us now. The same antisocial, anti-Christian principles, whieh have been conspiring in the dark' e Government of the
Sovereign Pontiff, have now conspired against the
English monarchy.
The Cardinal then goes on to deal at length with
the claims made in an argon of '-fenianism" that
decisions on points of ethics must be made on the
responsibility of the individual, not of the Church. To
this the Cardinal rejoins that the Church is infallible
both in faith and in mortis; and that the clergy are
to teach the laws of the latter as well as the former.
Clandestine Societies.
- He then deals with the suggestion that Fenianism is
not expressly condemned, is not a secret society, and
is not against the Church's luu-.
1. First, it is not necessary that a secret society
should be condemned bv name. All seditious societies
are condemned by definition, by description, and by
identity with those which are condemned by name. In
the Allocution of September 14, 1865, the Holy Father,
after renewing the condemnations of Clement XII.,
Benedict XIV., Pius VII., Leo XII., declares that the
last-named Pontiff condemned all the clandestine
societies which had been specially named, and (' all
others whatsoever, by whatsoever name they might be
called, which conspire against the Church and civil
power, and prohibited them to all the faithful under
the severest pain of excommunication. "-
2. Secondly, < iccidents. This'is asserted in
the Encyclical of ' which it is declared that " all
clandestine societies, whether ami oath of secrecy b"
exacted in them r Hot, together with their followers
and abetters, ai, ted." This condemnation falls
upon all societi, • t conspiracies, open or secret,
■against the Churel: or the civil power. In order to
perfect certainly ...n this point, the Archbishop
Dublin, in 1864, ron-ulted the Sacred Congregation of
Propaganda, which on June 7, 1864, answered in these
words: '"The seer, - societies, of which there is question in the Pontifical Constitutions, are understood to
be all such as purpose to themselves anything against
the Church or Hm civil Government, whither
require an oath of secrecy or not.''
3. Lastly, all ^ loh conspiracies, whether dire
against the Chui.■ h Mid civil power, or against the
Church alone, t th< State .More, are bv •■
. liie Allocution of
1847; and the Apostolic Letters of 1860; and finally
i;i the Encyclical of 1864, which condemns the proposition, " that it is lawful to withdraw obedience,
and to rebel against legitimate sovereigns."
Let no man then deceive you. Trust to no guides or
teacher* who contradict the voice of the Vicar of Jesus
Christ.
A Pledge of Better Things.
My heart bleeds for the Catholic people of Ireland.
I know its history, its sufferings, its wounds; the sting
which lias been planted in its conscience, its heart, its
faith, its highest, noblest instincts. I know- that in the
past the wound has gone to the quick, that the iron
has entered into its soul. I know, therefore, the present
danger of its sons. Much that is good in them rises
up in behalf of their homes and of their faith. It is
their higher, purer, most human, and deepest-instincts
which are worked upon : and the past has ripened in
them to take the influence of evil counsels coming from
abroad. Letters from Ireland telL me that many who
have become entangled in this sinful rising have done
so in full belief that it was a holy cause.
They were men who loved their faith, who went,
before meeting the hour of danger, to make their
peace with God: unconscious of doing wrong,
misled, confused in mind by the consciousness of
all that Ireland has suffered, and over-persuaded
by evil voices and the false principles I have here
exposed.
Even in this there is a pledge of better things. /"
The Worst Enemies of Ire'-nd.-
- k i. "'■-3 SH*^1 * .jinrl I S!»y fn
open the eyes, if openiti thov can lie, who
think to pacify and to tranquillise Ireland, or even to
calm and govern it, while they put public dishonour
and legal contempt upon the faith and the Church of
Ireland. They who would undermine the faith of
Ireland by mixed education and by mercenary conversion, are the worst enemies of the peace of Ireland,
and of the union of the two kingdoms. In the measure
in which they succeed, in that measure they weaken
over the<Irish people the mightiest power of obedience,
faith in the Church of God.
At this moment much that is noble, generous,
pure, unselfish, manly, humane, and even religious
in the heart of Irishmen, is alienated-by the wrongs
of the past, and wounded by much that survives
both in the letter and in the spirit. And this
alienation is the invitation to foreign sedition, and
the predisposition to all manner of moral and
social disease.
Wheresoever the violence of this world enters it
destroys those that use it. The revolution in France
sacrificed Ireland in 1798. Bloodshed.--misery, executions, widowhood, social hatreds, and .thirty-years more
of penal laws were the consequence. The revolutions
of 1848 all but sacrificed it again. .
Why should Ireland be always between the upper
and nether millstone, between England and France,
England and Revolution, England and America,
broken and ground to powder.'
Work together with the wise and peaceful providence
of God, and all is before us. There is a tide in time
as in the waters of the sea. All things are moving
onwards, and-no human hand can turn the current back.
Scotland h$..; been lifted to the prosperity of
England; Ireland must be lifted to equality with
both. Every badge of oppression and of persecu-
tion must be effaced from the statute book, from
the face of society, from the heart of the people.
The Church and faith of the Irish people must be
the Church and faith of Ireland. The Catholic Church
in all the amplitude and dignity of public recognition.
Tight, and law, must be acknowledged by man as it
is constituted and honoured by God. It was a senseless illusion to ignore the breadth of Ireland beyond
the Pale. It is a more senseless fiction to ignore the
Catholic Church, which alone is recognised by Ireland
and by the world.
Catholic, Ireland always was, is, and always will be.
Thwart or violate its faith, and it can never be at
rest. Honour and cherish its dearest treasure, and it
will be peaceful, loyal, and content. When the faith
of a people has free expanse, society prospers. And
society springs from the furrow; labour builds homes,
villages, towns, with all the acts of life and gradations
of social order so fine and closely knit that the Commonwealth is one, with one action, heart, and will.
Commonwealth is a common welfare: and such Ireland, will be if the god of this world do not enter in
to mar the work of peace : if our rulers be wise and-
just, and if you. children of St. Patrick, keep his
word and are true to his example. (Dec. 22/23,

Dear Er. MacDonnell,
I am sorry to say that the Government
policy is now against the creation of any new
offices, so as I was unable to obtain an official
position for you with your majority, I de^ci&ed
to send over Father 0'Gorman, who has rank
already, to do what he can on the Lines of
Communication.
I have written to Er. French asking
him to see that you get leave to Paris as soon
as Sir Robert Borden arrives there as he is
likely to do in the near future. I would be too
late for you to come to England now to see him.
Please accept my sineerest Christmas
wishes and believe me to be'always,
Sincerely yours,

Dear Rev. Father,
I have your letter of 5th.
January. I too was disappointed that I did not
succeed in getting you appointed D.A.D.C.S. (L.of C)
but as no more promotions ere being put through I
thought you would be seriously handicapped in such
a position with the rank of Captain.
I certainly will give you every
consideration if such an Expeditionary Force as you
mention should be formed.
I think your attitude on the
venereal question is absolutely correct and you
should keep hammering at it to maintain our standards
I will try to get the facts and figures that you
mention but they are very carefully guarded at the
present time so I suppose I shall have to do some
tall wangling to get them; however, I will do my
best for you. One thing that General Foster told me
was that tader the prophylactic treatment the percentage of diseased men had greatly increased and he
was thoroughly alarmed and almost in despair over
the situation. Please do_not quote the General^ im
tJ^hJasfcfaer• The facts, however, will help you in
the matter.
Sincerely yours,

Dear Father,
Archbishop Sinnott has just told me
that you are ready to take up the Chaplain work
at Winnipeg. Xinaiy tell me if it is your intention to remain in the service, because the position in Winnipeg is permanent.
After your experiences Overseas, it
will, indeed, be a boon to secure your services.

to secure passage to Canada, and, immediately an notice
of sal© of steak being published by one of last year's
Delegates, ther© was a rush of each to get Ms sal©
published before bis neighbor. i-he result was that all
the Hearideal® who earn© to Canada this spring sold off
their cow ©r cows & what few sheep St horses they had list
fall a by the time they could leave Scotland in April,
many had already mad© very serious inroads upon their
little capital*
slhen they arrived in Alberta therefor® in May last
it was found that many ®% then had no money. r£hey had
large families ft had not the therewithal to feed than*
The only possible ©ours© to follow therefor© was to feed
them while housed at Red Seer and get them placed as soon
as possible.
It was very difficult*, practically impossible to
get farts labour f m them, as farmers had no accommodation
ox separate cottage for ran with such large families «
besides# these Hebrideana were so determined to get land
of their own that they refused to go out working for others
lest they should r&as an opportunity of getting a farr..

Canadian matho&s * harneasiag horses, four horse hitch,
plowing with gang pie®, etc*
. She ecu were taken in email parties to view farms
and in almost every case the railway far© had to be paid
for them & when finally the whole farily moved to their
new home, the transportation had to be loaned to Wmhbi

About 11160 has lm&ti loaned in small sums from |1G to

An epidemic of meaalee added to our troubles.
But as soon as the evil showed itself precautions were
immediately taken to prevent serious effects. ilursea
were installed and © ©rail hospital was set aside and
th© situation was thoroughly well" handled.
The feeding of the multitude was accomplished
to the entire satisfaction of the Bebrideans who at©
mor© flesh meat in those two months than they did for
years before, and it was done economically.
The maintenance of the whole Eebridean party
works out at about ?B& -p&T head per M&* fh© party
settled, numbers about 1540 souls & they arrived in RoA
Peer in th© first week is May and were all dispersed

(2im dispersal could have been accomplished
more speedily were it not for the outbreak of measles
and also on© or two accidents & a birth.

JSxpenaea incurred in r©
Hebxi&ean settlement.
As aeon a© th© HBbrideana heard that there was to be
a nominated Passage scheme by which th©y wrould b© enabled
to seour© passage to Canada, and, icxiediataly on notice
of sal© of stock being published by one of last year's
©©legatee, there was a rush of each to get his sal©
published before his neighbor. 1'he result was that all
th© Kebxideans who cam© to Canada this spring sold off
their cow or cows & what few sheep & horses they had last
fall & by the tine th©y could leave aootlsnd In April,
Many bad already ciade mry serious inroads upon their
little capital.
iifhan they arrived in Alberta tharefor© in May last
it waa found that sunay of than 'had no 5son©y« They had
large families & had not th© wherewithal to feed them,
Tm only possible course to follow therefore was to feed
them while housed at Red Beer and get them placed as soon
as possible*
It was mr^ difficult, practically Impossible to
get fare, labour for them* as farmers had no aoooinciodatlon
ox separate cottage for ran with sueh large families -
besides, these nebrldeana were so determined to get land
of their own. that they refused to go out working fox others
lest they should nias an opportunity of getting a £am,
They ©ad© us© of their stay at Red Peer learning
Canadian laethods - harnessing horsea, four horse hitch,
plowing with giaig plow, etc*
. She can were taken in etaall parties to view fams
and in alaoat ©very case th© railway far© had to be paid
for their, & when finally the whole far&ly sioved to their
new hoiae, th© transportation had to be loaned to thar.«
Hon© of this last appaaxa in expense account.
About ill£G has been loaned in assail sums froo f 10 to
C-100 as grub states, etc.
- An epidemic - • s
An ®pi&@fsi© of rseasles added to our troubl©a.
But as soon as the evil showed lts©lf precautions were
lisredistely taken to prevent serious ©ffacte., ilurees
war© installed and a srrall hospital was set aside and
th® situation was thoroughly wall handled*
Th© feeding of the multitude was accomplished
to the entire satisfaction of th© Hebrideana who ate
more flesh neat in those two months than they did for
years before, and It was don© economically.
The laaintenanee of th® whole Hebrldean party
works out at about y2b $®r head per day* fh® party
settled, numbers about 340 souls a they arrived in Red
Peer in th© first week in May and vara all dispersed
& in their new hotaaa on th© Sbth day of £uly*
Th© dispersal could hav® been aoooiaplishad
more speedily were It not fox th© outbreak of nsaalea
and also one or two accidents & a birth*

Reverend Sir:- RE. COTTAGES FOR SCOTTISH EMIGRANT AID SOCIETY
er
we
are enclosing herewith two copies of the blue
print which we promised to send on to you, and wish you would
look over them, giving particular attention to the layout of
the rooms and advise if this layout is not satisfactory to you.
As agreed verbally, with yon and Mr. Conroy, acting for your
society, we will construct eighteen of these cottages, according
to plan and specification, for $700*00 (Seven Hundred Dollars)
each. The understanding being that six will be built in more or
less a group at Red Deer, on the premises pointed out, six at
or near St Albert, two near Wetaskiwin, two near Lacombe, and two near
Camrose.
We would liketo start work on these just as soon as
possible, so that we can take advantage of all the good weather
during the next two or three months as we understand you want
these all ready for April 1st. We can easily do this, if you can
make your financial arrangements, so that we can get our payments
as the cottages are completed and inspected.
We wish to thank you for the business
will do our best to turn out good buildings fo:
the compliments of the Season, and wishing you
trip, we are
and assure you we

Dear Father Macdonell,
The case of JTo. 70 John MaclTeil, *o is
not eligible for free passage.
Father Mac In tyre writes us to-day
saying that 3rou advised him they were being granted £18
each to be paid back to the Ontario Government in easy
instalments. I have sent the papers of these people up
to Mr. hoxon and await his reply, but in the meantime I
doubt very much if any married, woman with a family like
this will be assisted as stated in your letter, for the
reason that she is not going out to domestic work for
anybody else, but to assist in her husband's home, and
as you know, she has two young children.
I will advise you the result of Mr.
IToxon's reply.
Yours truly,

GOVERNMENT SCHEME FOR AGRICULTURAL TRAINING OF BRITISH
YOUTHS IN ALBERTA, CANADA.
The Government of the Province of Alberta have entered into an arrangement with His
Majesty's Government to provide during the coming winter a course of training in agriculture
for youths and young men from this country (age desired, seventeen to twenty-five) at the
Provincial Agricultural School at Vermilion on the Canadian National Railway, one hundred
miles west of Edmonton.
The School, which it is proposed to reserve entirely from the 1st October, 1924, to the
31st March, 1925, for the purposes of the proposed course, is capable of accommodating 150
pupils at one time, and the proposed scheme can only be arranged if not less than 100 applicants
are selected and proceed to Canada to undertake-the training. ~
Each applicant will be required to pay 30 dollars a month—roughly £1 10s.—for board and
lodging, and should, therefore, have in his possession on arrival in Vermilion not less than £50.
The actual training will be paid for jointly by the Government of Alberta and by His Majesty's
Government.
Further details regarding the proposed course may be obtained at the Oversea Settlement
Office, 3-4, Clements Inn, Strand, London, W.C.2, at the Offices of the Superintendent of
Emigration for Canada, 1, Regent Street, London, S.W.I, and from the various Canadian
Government Emigration Agents whose addresses are annexed. The course will include practical
outdoor work, and during the winter months, especially December, January-and February,
instruction in the laboratories and class-rooms. It will comprise :—
{a) Field husbandry, including the handling of two, three, four and six-horse teams,
harrowing, ploughing, &c ;
(b) The care and management and marketing of live stock ;
(c) Farm mechanics, including carpentry, black-smithing, gas engines and farm motors,
and the mechanics of farm machinery;
(d) Dairying; I
(e) The principles of poultry farming';
(f) Horticulture, including vegetables and small fruits ;
(g) The study of such insect pests, blights, mildews, &c, as occur in Western Canada ;
(h) Farm management and economics, and M
(i) Elementary veterinary science. :
The Government of Alberta undertake to find each student employment as from the beginning
of April, 1925, for the ensuing summer upon a suitable farm within the Province. After a winter's
training at the Agricultural School and a summer spent in practical farm work, he should have
no difficulty in finding continuous employment. The wages earned during the summer would
depend upon the age and efficiency of the individual concerned. The average rates in Alberta
last summer, for general farm hands were $40 per month for experienced men, and $25 per
month for inexperienced men, with board and lodging. Should a student desire a more advanced
course during the second winter in the Province, a five months' course will be available for him
at one of the Agricultural Schools free of cost except for the expenses of board and lodging.
It is the belief of the Alberta Government and of His Majesty's Government that the proposed training should place the pupils in an advantageous position to earn their livelihood as
farm workers, thus acquiring the local experience which is essential before taking up farming
in Canada, and in due course enable them to save enough money to start farming on their
own account. _ Applications may be made on the annexed form, and should be sent, in the first instance
either to the Superintendent of Emigration for Canada or to the nearest Canadian Government
Emigration Agent. (See list on p. 4). A medical examination will be necessary before final
approval can be given. Approved applicants will, where necessary, be granted a loan of the cost
of their journey to Alberta under the Empire Settlement Act, the amount to be repayable in
periodical instalments after settlement.

Dear Father Macdonell,
I saw an account in the"Toronto
Weekly Star" of April 22nd, of the progress of your
work of bringing Highland Scotsmen to Canada. The
paper intimated that Bishop Fallon and youself are
giving the full facilities of the Arden Training Farms
to both Presbyterians and Catholics, and that recently
your advertisements have appeared in various Ontario
newspapers asking for employment for these settlers
near Presbyterian and Catholic Churches respectively.
It also intimated that a large party of more than
one hundred men were now on the ocean.
Please accept my hearty congratulations on the broad spirit in which your work
is being undertaken, and best wishes.for its success.
If at any time my assistance will be of any use to
you in this work, please accept my assurance that
it will be freely given.
When you see Bishop Fallon,
please convey to him the appreciation of a Protestant
of the broad-minded spirit in which your work is
being undertaken.
Again wishing you every success,
Yours very-v truly,
Commissioner ]$tyw&xmt d $mmx$xixtwxx && €d0xxxzatxmf
