1901. May 24. An editorial in the Boston _Herald_ to-day, headed “England’s failure in Ireland,” declares that “If the test of business methods is the growth and prosperity of business, the test of methods of government is the growth and prosperity of the people. By this test Great Britain’s government of Ireland is the monumental political failure of modern times. It does not promote growth, prosperity, happiness, or loyalty. Nor is there at present any great reason to expect a turn of the course of population. The vigor of Ireland has been driven from it. America has profited incalculably by the exodus, and the record of the Irish race in this country affords a demonstration that cannot be gainsaid that the native forces of the race are not decadent when they have favorable opportunities of development.” 1901. May 31. Secretary-General T. H. Murray, of the Society, has a communication in the New York _Sun_, calling attention to the neglected condition of the Gen. Richard Montgomery tablet and monument in the chancel wall of St. Paul’s church, Broadway, New York, and urging that proper attention be given the memorial. 1901. June 10. Rt. Rev. Denis M. Bradley, D. D., bishop of Manchester, N. H., becomes a member of the Society. 1901. June 10. R. A. Brock, secretary of the Southern Historical society, Richmond, Va., compliments our organization and pays an eloquent tribute to the Irish element in the composition of the American people. 1901. June 17. Rev. Joshua P. L. Bodfish, Canton, Mass., a member of the Society, is re-elected a director of the Bunker Hill Monument Association.
