Among the gentlemen to whom the chaplain records his “obligations” for their gratuitous services in the way of lectures are found the names of nine Protestant clergymen and two Protestant laymen. No mention of a Catholic. The Sabbath-school of the Reformed Church, Harlem, is thanked for “a handsome supply” of the _Illustrated Christian Weekly_. The librarian reports that one hundred copies of the _Youth’s Companion_ are supplied weekly, one hundred copies of the _American Messenger_, and one hundred and twenty-five copies of the _Child’s Paper_. There is no mention of a Catholic print of any kind. The chaplain and librarian are under no obligations for copies of the _Young Catholic_, or the New York _Tablet_, or the _Catholic Review_, or any one of our many Catholic journals. They are all forbidden. Yet they are not a whit more “sectarian” than the _Christian Weekly_. In addition, the Bible Society is thanked “for a supply of Bibles sufficient to give each child a copy on his discharge.” We turn now to the report of the principal of schools. It is chiefly an anti-Catholic tirade on the public school question, but that point may pass for the present. What we are concerned with here is the species of instruction to which the Catholic children of the institution are subjected. Mr. G. H. Hallock, the principal, is almost “unco guid.” A single passage will suffice. “But underneath all this intellectual awakening there is a grander work to be performed; there is a moral regeneration that can be achieved. Shall we stand upon the environs of this moral degradation among our boys, and shrink from the duty we owe them, because they are hardened in sin and apparently given over to evil influences? Would He who came to save the ‘lost’ have done this? “_Nothing can supply the place of earnest, faithful religious teaching drawn from the Word of God._ I have the most profound convictions of the inefficacy of all measures of reformation, except such as are based on the Gospel and pervaded by its spirit. In vain are all devices, if the heart and conscience, beyond all power of external restraints, are left untouched.”
