of the matter that the divergence of the two methods begin, and that the modern method starts with a false definition, with a misconception of the very nature of songs. This union is very natural since speech is impossible without some degree of music. Musi£ is only agreeable, rhythmic sound, and therefore it enters into the constitution of speech. "To subordinate sense to sound is evidently unreasonable, and, therefere, inartistic. But if the words are to retain their own emphasis while being sung, it follows that we must impose their emphasis on the music. The music must be put to the words, and not the words to the music. • In good singing the raelody should not merely accompany the words, it should actually dissolve with them. Just as a good accompanist not merely plays along with the singer, but follows him, and identifies his accompaniment with the singer's rendering of the song. For song is really speech accompanied by melody ; the speaker accompanies his own words with the air. We shall see directly how scientifically and how completely the traditional singer achieves this supreme and most essential result, and how impossible it is to votaries of the modern sty le; and when you have ma.de the comparison I trust that you will draw the conclusion which I have drawn, viz., that traditional singing is true, and, therefore, good singing, while modern singing is false Please singing, and, therefore, bad singing. observe that I do not say that modern singing is bad music. It may result in splendid music, and at the same time be very bad singing. " The Irish tradition of singi.pg is a threefold tradition: (1) A tradition of intonation, (2) A · tradition of rhythm, (3) A tradition of taste. The question of the scale of old Irish music is one of equal importance from the standpoint of art and of the history of music. Its solution is indispensable to' a true comprehension of the character of our national music. u Free irhythm is built on feet ; fixed rhythm is built on bars. The difference in thythm between the traditional and the modern singer is simply this: the latter always sings in bars, the former sings in feet. I daresay it will be news to any modern singers present to hear that a song can be sung m any other way except in bars. Nevertheless, song is as old as humanity, while bars were not used in vocal music even so late as Palestrina. It is proverbial that great artistes never sing a song as it is written. They feel obliged to emancipate themselves, at least in part, from the tyranny of the bar. Surely this fact. ought to convince us that there is something radically false in the modem way of writing and of singing of song. That something is the employment of bars, for we .shall see bar metre is fitted for instrumental music only. "We have already seen that if a song be properly sung the singer must be speaking. All his voice moves up and down the succession of intervals that constitute the music. This is what strikes one at once in traditional singing. This is what makes it possible to listen to the same music repeated twenty times over in the course of a IJeng ballad without any sense of monotony. "�uty of meaning is incomparably high�r than beauty of sound ; just as beauty of form is nobler than beauty of colour. The beauty of a song arises from the blending together of three charms, all very great, it is true, still very different in quality and very unequal in worth. These· are (1) the charm of the words, (2) the charm of the melody, and (3) the charm of the Artistic feeling and taste are singer's voice. shown in the way in which these three are combined. Good taste demands that the voice should be subordinated to the melody ; and both the melody and the voice should be entirely subordinated to the utterance of the words. This is the true order of these elements of song among themselves, and the beauty of the whole depends on how it is preserved. "A way must be found for writing songs Many according to the traditional rendering. are afraid that this is impossible. The fact is that it is quite easy. Melody has been written without bars for centuries, and I have been endeavouring to show in this lecture that it is the onlv way in which it can be correctly written. This is the way Gregorian Chant is written, and we have only to substitute the round-headed modern note for the Gregorian square one, adopt the svstem of grouping of the Gregorian notation, (e. gather the notes into _bunches of uneqill!I numbers but of equal duration and the work is done. Last August I took down a song. in this wav from a traditional singer. I wrote it on a bla'ckboard, and had it s�ng by ! number . of persons who had onlv this notation to guide them and they perfectly reproduced the traditionai rhvthm and phrasing. Lastly, if traditional singing' is to hold its �wn it cannot afford to dispense with the mamfest advantage of accompaniment .',

We do not regard them as a panacea for the terrible disease of Anglicisation. But they are helps. Success depends upon the teacher.

He will never allow his class work to drag or be come uninteresting ; he will on every possible occasion use Irish, and create in his pupils a Restoring Irish involves much similar habit. It is a task more than simple instruction. enthusiasm and patience and a great requiring in the teachers. For this reason versatility we should make the way of the teachers easy. We should facilitate their training by the creation of scholarships at the Gaelic Colleges. The work of restoring Irish even in a limited way has the effect of making those who engage in it diligent students of Irish history, and literature. It is resulting also in the creation of a new and noble citizenship which is proving and will continue to prove that the return to an Irish Ireland is necessary, and that it is a noble determination.

Professor Kuno lfever, who has been appointed to the Chair of Celtic in Berlin University, is the first Director of the School of Irish Leaming. Heitook a chief part in the foundation of the School in 1903, and he has assisted it in m�y ways since then. He conducted some of its classes until the summer of 1909, when he made his last appearance in Ireland as a teacher. Among the other famous scholars who taught in the school were the late Professor S.trahan and Dr. Henry Sweet. PI:ofessor �ergm was appointed in 1go6 and remained until last year. Now Professor Marstrander is in charge. He is very young, but is deeply learn� in �he Celtic languages, and he t3:kes sufficient pains to satisfy the most exacting student. Dr. Kuno Meyer will be leaving t�ese parts ne�t autumn, and he will, most likely, sever his connection with the School, but the good work he helped to set going will be. cont�u�. The ational University scholarships will m some degree obviate the difficul�y whic� the Sch?Ol of Irish Learning expenenced m founding travelling scholarships for advanced students. The finances of the School are very slender, but the good �ork it does is incalculable. It

THE REFORM�,_ OF THE INTERMEDIATE.

: ---•:Should Mr. Lloyd George's Budget give us, indirectly, a better system of secondary education, we shall not curse it for that result. The colhtpse of the system of finance by which the Intermediate Commissioners received about half their annual income has led to the necessity of making new and more secure financial provision for the Intermediate. It is stated that the matter will be dealt with in the coming Parliament, and that an opportunity will then occur for re-organising the Board itself, and for infusing The Gaelic League is new blood into it. promoting a public, meeting, which is fixed to be held in the Mansion House on J arn.;ary z5th, .for the purpose of stating t�e The I. ord Mayor will Irish-Ireland demands. preside; and An Craoibhin, Eoin Mac Neill, Mr. John Dillon, the Rev.

A demand will be made for the abolition of rules that discriminate against Irysh, and for th.e encouragement of studies calculated to mcrease the students' knowledge of Ireland, and their o� usefulness as future Irish citizens. The claim of the present Commissioners for better fi�ancial treatment will he supported, and another resolution will demand that a special fund be provided to enable t�lented students f�om primary schools to obtaii:i secondary educat�?n., We need not repeat agam the charges agamst The record the Intermediate Commissioners. of their crimes against the Irish _langu_age, and against the country's true educational 1nte.r�sts, is a long tale of woe.

Bilingual Schools. Among the articles supplied by the Gaelic League Press Committee to the American Delegation was one on "Bilingual Schools H by '.' Fergus Mac Roigh." We print it here in full. The Irish Language movement is as real a warfare as any war ever fought on tented plain. The Galltacht or English-speaking country is the territory already conquered and strongly held by the invader, where numerous bands of the Gaelic army carry on a guerilla warfare, and score in many a brilliant but small engagement, but never seriously threaten the solid grip the oonquering force has on this territory. The Gaedhealtacht or Irish-speaking country is There every bithe portion still unconquered. lingual school is a fortress, where the language still is sheltered, and around these schools the battle rages. If these fortresses are all stormed by the enemy the conquest is oomplete, and the gallant little bands in the Galltacht may give up the fight, and surrender their arms as soon as they · may. The Gaelic army are splendid fighters, but It is ten times seem deficient in generalship. easier to hold one of their own fortresses than to capture one from the enemy, yet all their energy is devoted to capturing. And while they capture one fort in the Galltacht the enemy captures ten in the Gaedhealtacht. And thus the thing goes on. ,. I 11 ( )

Critical Condition of the Garrisons. And never was a beleaguered garrison surrounded by a completer network of destructive forces than is each of these bilingual schools. The captains of many of these ga:rrisons (in other �ords the teachers) are very indiffere?t defenders. They found themselves there by accident; many 1 of them complain that they are not properly supported, and some of them are questioning if theyl do not after all owe some allegiance to the enemy. Then they .see that the enemy has actually got some of his men into almost every fort, he has disabled a number of those within, and few of those who remain are determined to fight to the last : in fact they are only waiting till the bombardment becomes hot enough in order to surrender. Thus the case is critical, nay almost desperate.

A Bilingual School Classified. Now I have adopted this military description in order to vividly pourtray, and if p<:ssible �r�ng home clearly to my readers, the critical posrtion But I have not of Irish in bilingual schools. quite is und.ei:drc1J_wn. picture exaggerated-the When I speak of the enemy I mean Anglicisation. In every bilingual school there are I. Some purely English-speaking pupi�s. 2. A good many who are half English, and are tending to become wholly so. 3.

What is to be Done ?

I I do not believe in bootless lamentations. am ever ready to suggest a remedy where If believe And the tactics I things are not going well. Take my classification suggest here are these. of the pupils of the bilingual schools. Group No. 3 stand metaphorically at the foot of, the school-not indeed intellectually, but socially, and in the battle of life. XmY we must advance them to the top: we. must place them first, and as sure as we do the present , drift will cease, beyond the peradventure of a doubt, t and an opposite current will set in. ...,

How it is to be Done. To do this a premium must be set on a good native knowledge of Irish. Genuine and valuabl€ material rewards must be offered far the' best pupils in Irish, paying particular attention to, what is acquired native in the· home.· There, should be free scholarships leading fr'oi-h the national school right up to the University' for such pupils, and not two or three per year for a whole county, but one or two for every Irish-, speaking parish, or for a group say of ten bilingual schools=-all others except the bilingual Then there schools to be rigidly excluded. should be at least a pound spent every year in small prizes in each bilingual school. People. who don't know the bilingual districts may think light of this, but they are wrong. I could work a small revolution by spending even one pound -five dollars-in each bilingual school each year. Then the Gaelic League should try, and by establishing a bureau, find positions for those Irish-speaking boys and girls, so as not to let them emigrate. t

Work for Irish Americans. This latter is a work for the Irishmen at home: but the two former suggestions, namely, the providing of scholarships and school prizes is just the work that Irish-Americans could do. Would it not be possible for the exiled from Co. Mayo, say, in America and elsewhere to establish a fund for providing scholarships. and prizes for Co.I• Then, the Donegal men, Galway, Mayo alone. Cork, Kerry, and Waterford men could each look after their own county. This would be a magnificent work for these exiled sons and daughters of' the Gael, many of whom know Irish themselves. It is not encouraging provincialism to suggest this but it is natural that a Kerry man should ' subscribe more quickly, more readily, and more generously, for his own little Kingdom of Kerry than for Tinoonnell , while the heart of a Tirconnell man will be stirred more deeply by an appeal from Fanad or Bozlagh than by ene from Cahirciveen. Then those counties which have no Irish-speaking districts, which belong to the conquered territory could subscribe to the fund of the nearest bilingual county or to general Gaelic League purposes.

....

A Fairy Bridge. Were these scholarships and prizes once established as a feature of education in the bilingual schools, the pupils in group X o. 3 would_ find that their knowledge of Irish in place of bemg a hindrance to their worldly advancement, as they now rightly or wrongly believe it to be, they would find that it was a fairy bridge that led them across to prospects they might not otherwise have ambition to attain to, and before long we should see group No. 2 and even No: I competing to get on to this bridge also. But I\ o. 3 wou!d l;,ad the way. �o. I then would be heard askmg What It would turn the tables comgood is Irish?" and the anti-Irish Irishman Shoneen the on pletely and yet no one could complain �hat he was. being wronged. We were merely puttm� a :premmm on our own language; let the other side 1f they l�aYe a grievance establish a fund and put a prernmm on English. Before that is done, however, out ?f the Shoneen pockets we shall see two moons in the sky. An Opportune Time. The present is a very oppoi:une tim.e while the Gaelic League delegates are in America to start this scheme of county funds. The working out of the scheme is a matter so simple that a good schoolboy could elaborate it. The great point is to get our countrymen abroad to see and appreciate the situation and to understand that it is one that does not admit of delay if we mean to be successful. Irishmen in

·NORTH DUBLIN GUARDIANS AND IRISH IN THE PUBLIC SERVICE.

v"V_e are .st.ill 'far from 1:he realisation of a T C.1v1l Service. Numerous boards and Nati?nal public b�d1es have pledge� themselves either to make Irish . compulsory in examinations for public appointments, or to give candidates having a knowledge of the language a prefere but the pledges are, in n:iost cas�s, made broken. Our repre.sentabve councils and boards ?avf' � done mu�h m the �ght against English 1deab? and against the gnp of English traders ondtln� country, b1�t when they offend glaringly �n. gnevous y against the dictates of patriotism it is necessary to .denm,1nce their action. They are more often with . us than against, but as our only reme�y a.gai1:st public representatives who prove delinquent in their duty is exposure, we �ave frequ�ntly to ask Irish Ireland to consider the failure of many public bodies to The latest fulfil their voluntary pledges. at a recent occurred of pledge-breaking example me�tmg of the Guardians of the North :Cublin Union. . The B9ar� required a relieving officer, and decided unanimously, before advertising, that no candidate should be appointed without a knowledge of Irish. The advertisement stated that a knowledge of Irish would be an essential qualification, Several applications for the post were �ons1dered at the last meeting of the Guardians, and a candidate without any The know1�dge of Irish was appointed. Guardians who voted fort he successful candidate were Alderman Farrell, Alderman Mac \i\Talter Councillor Ryan, Councillor Lorean Sherlock: Messrs. Arnold, Brennan, Cooke, Doyle Gatley ' . ' Gunn, . Heery, Henshaw, James, Kavanagh, Keely, Leech, Maher, Molloy, Nugent, O'Hara, Parkinson, Rahill, Reid, Roche, Rooney, The rival candidate, Dodd, and Lynch. who was qualified in all the requirements of the advertisement, obtained twenty-three votes in the final pulling ... M1. Lynch who is chairman of the Board, is a member of the Gaelic League, but ron this occasion he appears to have left his Gaelic League principles at home. � He was jointly with the other Guardians responsible for the advertisement, but when the appointment was being made he refused to allow any facilities for determining whether the candidates whose applications were incomplete had any knowledge of Irish, and in the election he voted against Mr. Maxwell, who stated that he held the Fleming Companionship Certificate for the Hall of Writers. Mr. Lorean Sherlock has appeared on Gaelic League platforms more than once, and it is regrettable to see him among the delinquents. A.11 the members of the Board were pledged to vote .for a candidate having a knowledge of Irish, and they are scarcely _less guilty than the Chairman, and Councillor Mrs. \Vyse-Power, Donnchadh O Sherlock. Dubhghai11, and those who suppor�e<l them, fought in vain to make the Board stick to the The fact that a terms of its advertisement. the in Capital, wher.e t1!e Gaelic public body League was founded, and from which 1t. spread, slwuld wilfully violate Gaelic Leagu� pnnc1ple�, It is will make many ashamed of Dublm. useless for us to expect the Local �overnm�n.t to assist in . forming a National C1v1l Service. It will be useless for us, also, t<? hope for help from our representative bodies if Gaelic Leaguers who represent ra:\epayers o_n those bodies play " fox a.nd geese with the�r principles 011 the occas10n of every public We do not know. who ::.\Ir. appointment. ;Ir.

The great success of the Belfast Feis was almost entirely due to The the �elfast bra?ches ?f the League. excel.enc� of their teachmg was evident in every competition, and was a sufficient proof that branch work js both good and necessary. We cannot _say so much for all the Belfast schools T�e pnmary "National" .schools. of the city, with a few notable exceptions, failed again to make .any.worthy s�ow, and a large number of the pnzes m the junior competitions were carried away by the pupils from Glenariff schools.

The Language Fund. The Irish Language Fund for 1910--rr will be. closed at the. end of next month. We publish th1� week a list of the latest contributions. It includes a se�o!ld cont_ribution of over £27 from Craobh Bolivia. This sum with .{1--;2 ,. .,s sent in August last, makes ;_ total "'o( o�e·� £1�9 received from the small band of faithful ex1l�s. who make up the Gaelic League of A furt�er 1_nstalment, amounting to Bolivia. £150, of the contribution from Coiste Ceanntair Atha Cliat.h has been received by the Treasurer. The Gaelic League of Loch gCarman has resumed its contribution and sends the creJitable sun1 of £�5· fher� has never been any reason why the Coiste Gnotha should not have the support of Loch gCarman and its contribution in the present instance is more welcome bec.ause it proves the loyalty of the Loch gCarman Craobhacha than for any other Mr. John Sweetman has sent his reason. annual subscription of fro, and Eibhlin Nie Aitcinn has. contributed {,5. fhe �um of £120 from Butte 1s the second contribution from that c1t:y to this year's Language Fund. \Ve do not believe that many Irish centres in the States could be got to equal the generosity of the Butte Gaels, but their example is one we should like to see the Irishmen of other American cities endeavouring to follow. Twenty similar the contributions would relieve annual difficulty the which the of anxiety Treas�irer of bndgmg the gap between the sum raised at home and the actual and necessary expenditure causes. fhe list of the Dublin Collection includei many subscriptions from Dublin firms, and sums of £24, £19, fro, and £8 from Dublin b1 a.J"tdle:,.

A Suggestion. A Chara, I have been thinking that a fitting close to the special collection in Dublin, and a fitting form of amusement for the citizens on the National Holiday, would be a football match at J ones's Road on St. Patrick's Day under Gaelic League auspices, and in the interest I do of the Irish Language National Fund. not know whether the teams can be brought together, and for the present merely offer the But if they can be got to meet suggestion. I feel convinced that with favourable weather there will be a record gate. To provide against unfavourable weather and possible loss the local branches of the Gaelic League could probably be induced to organise entertainments in Kerry and Louth, say Killarney and Dundalk, respectively, and place the profits to the credit of the promoters of the· match. As an inducement to the teams to travel valuable commemorative gold medals should be offered to the winners and silver medals to the unsuccessFurther, there should be a public ful team. the teams in the Mansion House, of reception and an entertainment in their honour until midnight on the eve of the match. This might be the beginning of that co-operation between the two bodies, which the President of the Gaelic League, in common with many others, has so often desired, and it wouJd moreover, afford an example which other cities and towns would probably be not slow to emulate. By co-operation in the matter: of tournaments and entertainments the Gaelic League and the G.A.A. could be of the greatest assistance to each other, and, incident]y� to robust Irish nationality. r f the '{periment is to be tried-and as we send e11Yoys to America, we are called on to

Dr. Tohil and the Schools. �is Lordship the Most Rev. Dr. Tohill, havmg presented the prizes, said that he wished to cong�atulate, most heartily, all the successful compe1:1tors, and in referring to them a word of s:pe�ial thanks was due t6 the Brothers of the Christian Sch?ols. They h�d sec:ured a very large number of pnzes, and a big weight of honour in he also conthe many competitions; gratulated the other schools including St Malachy's College, Ballyhack�more and St· Joseph's. . There was another v�ry small: but very important representation on the platfor� which came from that glorious Glen of Glenanff. They would go away laden with some of the ,�o�t important prizes that were given :it th�t Feis. Now, the object of the Feis was to bnng before the minds of the young the advantages and desirability of reviving the old language, of knowi1:g something of her history, and also those pastimes and amusements which were so congenial to the Irish character. However, of all the elements around which centred the interest of the Feis, the revival of t?e language came first. If they ever brought to life the language of the country success in the other departments would follow as a matter of course .. Now those seven or eight children from Glenanff, under the devoted guardianship and generalship of Father Toal, had come from a school where the total number on the roll was and. those children--he thought he was correct 1n. say1?-g-ha� c':'rried off practically all the pnzes m the JU!nor part of the programme. That result contamed a moral for them in Belfast, Under Catholic management in the city they had 64 national schools, with a total roll of 13,300 children. If exertions similar to those practised in Glenariff were made in the schools in Belf<:1-st, and similar encouragement given to the revival of the language, they would have in Belfast a large Irish-speaking population in a decade of years.

An Appeal to the Belfast Teachers. Looking forward to the Feis of 1912 he said it was a re8:-sonable request to make,' that all teachers, children, a�d parents in the city of Belfast should do a little more for the revival of the language than they had done up to the Proceeding, his Lordship said they present. had two training colleges for men, and three for women in Ireland, and, if he were not mistaken se:7en colleges for teaching Irish, in addition t� pnv�te classes conducted by the Gaelic League, and it was but natural to expect that within the next few years they .should have a very large body of teachers having a certificate qualifying them to !each the Irish language. In the case of the children from Glenariff. he was sure that the a�tention t�at they had given to Irish had not m the slightest interfered with their proficiency in acquiring the ordinary subjects The Kilkenny Woodworkers undertake repairs of every description, which they are prepared to carry out in their Dublin workshops. The prices are strictly moderate.

---..:�--

The complete r�form�tion of the Intermediate system of educa.tjon w1l_l not follO\v as a direct result of the great meetmg held in the Mansion House on . January 25th ' but as the recogmititon o f an evi·1 is th e first step towards its cor ti ti rec ion th . te m:e. ingd w hil� h served to awaken a livelie; m eres L m e uca tional reform will not he without �ts f500d effects. . It is no longer a question of Justice to the Insh language, but one of justice to Ir:eland that the Board has to consider. The P_residcnt of the Gaelic League showed in his addres� how even Anglo-Irish literature has been persistently excluded from the English co�irse of th_e Intermedic,te progrnmme, lest Irish ch_1ldren might even suspect the existence of Insh &enius. �anon Arthur Ryan dwelt on the exclusion of Insh history from the Intermediate schools, and on the forcing of " Irish German " on the studen�s. Eoin MacN ei.11 gave a necessary warn1_ng when he said that there will ?e no peace unti� t?e whole Intermediate system is ref�rmed, 1:1-ntil its main purpose becomes the pursuit of Ins? welfare, the training of native talent and genius, and the teaching of a pride of country. and of the dignity of industry. Mr. John D1l10� se_conded the resolutions proposed b):7 An Craoibhin. _He was in entire agreement with them an� his. pr�sence at the meeting showed that this agitation for sanity in Irish education is not confined to the Gaelic League, ?ut has the support of the biggest political party m the country. An Craoibhin and Mr. Dillon spoke at length on the necessity of creating a profession of secondary teachers. "We want," said An Craoibhin, " a good deal more of the professional man, and much less of the civil servant in our secondary teachers." " Even m?re _i1nportant than any provision of scholarships is the creation of real secondary teachers," wrote the Rev. Professor Corcoran of the National University. " The teacher is the keystone of all education systems," wrote Mr. Thomas O'Donnell. The Intermediate system is a bad limb of our national organism. It has a dozen sores that spread their contagion to the whole nation. It is certain that the money cure will not be effective if administered unaccompanied by drastic drafts. The opposition to the Irish language, and the hatred to al things Irish must go, the closed door that excludes poor brilliant boys and girls must be thrown open, the teacher must be raised to a position of worth and honour, freedom to teach their own programmes must be given to the schools. It is questionable whether it is not waste of time to call for the reform of a body that has proved itself so hopeless and so bad. There are many who believe that a new body made up of men and women who take _a pride in Ireland and aim at the preservation of her nationality and the promotion of her material welfare should be established. It is certain, however, that the present Commissioners can no longer continue on their old course. Ireland will tolerate their defiance and foolery no longer. \Vha t helots we Irish be in an Empire that has been largely raised by means of our wealth and of our blood. We gave helplessly, but freely, and our return is to force us all i1:1to foreign Enzlish channels of thought and life, so that our plains supply flocks for the English market, our schools may turn out human machines for the service of a land that is not ours. Our land does not count. Its history must be wiped out, its language �orn from our lips, its ind�stries and we�lth dended or their existence demed. Are we gomg to stand it ? This intolerable system could not be maintained a vear without the consent of the directors and ., headmasters of the secondary schools. :.\lore money will satisfy many. b�� we who believe in Ireland's future mu�t ?� 1 this matter to a finish. It is of f1n�t� importance to us all. A big percentage o ns_ . c luldren _ schools · �· � ..- t� It is go to t l1e secon da rv J

An Unreported Speech.

. The suggestion made by our correspondent in our issue of last week has attracted much attention. The fa.ct that La!1gua9e \?eek in the city docs n?t syncronisc with collecting time m the country, has, it is thought by many, weakened our forces all round, It might not be advisable for the Dublin League to revert suddenly to the March collection, but it might assist the collection all over Ireland by orgauising special matches on St. Patrick's Day in support of the Language Fund. The day is an appropriate one for an appeal to national sentiment, and Dublin, when properly appealed to, is never niggardly. The members of the city G.A.A. clubs will be found willing as they always are, to assist the League, and if only for the fine effect Dublin's example should have on the country, Sean O Ceallaigb 's suggestion should be acted on. There are other reasons, loo, for the organisation of good Irish amusements of St. Patrick's Since it became a holiday by Iaw;.most unDa:y. desirable forms of amusement have become general in our towns and cities, amusements that are foreign, If even the costly, and often vulgar and degrading. wor'c of raising funds c nJbe made incidentally to combat this evil the trouble offorgani�ing great hurling and football events will not have been in vain.

Eoin Mac Neill was fourth and last onlthe•list of speakers at the Mansion House meeting, and his speech was not reported. He recalled the mind of his audience, before which a host of proposals had bc�n ranged by the o�he� spea�ers, to the starting pomt of the present agitation, viz., the anti-Irish and harmful system of education the Board was forcing on the country. It would be useless and worse to reform the finances of the Board unless the Board itself were reformed also. The more money spent on a bad system the worse for the people of Ireland. The :purpose of education should be to serve the best u:1;t�rests o� the cou�trr. The programmes of the Civ1� Service examinations determined the Intermediate programme, as if all Irish boys and girls were born to be turned into clerks in Government o�c�s, and postmasters and sorters. The Commis; ioners who gave us such a system were to blame but the headmasters who accepted the system wer� not free from blame. We must utilise our educational �ystem� to ennoble, and honour, and dignify our industries, our agricultural industries and our commerce. Why, he asked, should it be less honourable to be a farmer, or a shopkeeper, than a clerk, or a :post�aster ? � �hy chculd a good education, a training m higher practical knowledge, or a course of higher studies, unfit a man for the land or for trade ? There was no �eason for it. The feudal land system created the notion that the farmer's was an ignoble calling, an� the false systems of education had set up false social standards, and had sought to degrade in the eyes of our people honourable callings. There will be no peace until the Irish education house is set in order with its back to the wind and its door to the sunshine'. �e will not rest u_ntil we get an Irish system that will teach the growing generation to love and respect their country, and teach them also how to serve her. If all the children of Ireland were forced into the Intermediate, in seven years' time all Ireland would crf out agains� �he evil. Slave owners gave to slave children a training that �tted them for slavery· and not for manly citizenship and freedom. Irish Intermediate education was comparable to the slave system because it aimed at making all Irish boys clerks or sorters without any consideration of the country's requirements. In supporting the resolution he <aid that he specially favoured that which urged that studies calculated to increase the students' knowledge of Ireland and their interest in the welfare· of the country, be specially encouraged.

The Committee passed a resolution recommending the striking at once of a rate in aid of the National University. Mr. Brown, County Councillor, said that the rate would be a halfpenny one, and that it would amount to about £800 annually. The minority who voted against the resolution held that the rate should not be struck until 1913.

We read in the "Leitrim Observer" that, at the last meeting of the Leitrim County Council, a Jetter was read from Rev. Father Manning, P.P., enclosing a resolution re the teaching of Irish in Galway UniA discussion ensued in the course versity College. of which it was stated that an insidious attempt was being made to set up a prohibitive standard of Irish and to elbow out Modern Irish in favour of a dead and gone form of the language. It was said that " the old Tory bodies in charge of the Queen's College were in favour of the old sty le of Gaelic, and that, if this move was persisted in, there would be no grants from the County Councils, and that in the case of the scholarships the boys would be sent to Dublin where Modern Irish got fair play." A resolution on those lines was proposed and carried. If the extreme course adopted by the Leitrim County Council were necessary to induce the Galway College to adopt an Irish course of studies somewhat similar to that of Dublin and Cork, and to remove the regulations that make a foreign language, not English or Latin, compulsory on students of Irish, it would, we fear, be too late to attempt to save the College from itself. P7 The Coiste Gnotha passed a resolution at its last meeting suggesting that the Irish programme should not be more difficult than that of the other Colleges. The resolution was proposed by Eoin Mac Neill and supported by at least five other University Professors, all of whom were competent judges. The Galway College authorities should give the resolution some consideration. It embodies expert opinion and comes from a body that is friendly to the College, and most anxious for the success of the Irish faculty therein. The piling on of old Irish bas already bad the effect of turning students away from Irish studies, and if the extreme difficulty of the programme be maintained the inevitable effect will be to drive Modern Irish out of the Galway College. It is not yet too late to adjust the programme for next year to popular requirements. We trust that the College authorities will have the good sense !O ee that such action as the Leitrim County Counci ha thought necessary to take in this matter,would,were it to

Sir James W. Mackey, Ltd.

A few years ago there were nine travelling teachers of Irish at work in Wexford. To-day the number of teachers in the county is much lower, but the County Committee, which held its quarterly meeting last week, decided on adopting immediately a vigorous plan of campaign for the more efficient organisation of the towns and rural districts. " Let us take omselves to the crossroads on Sundays and preach out principles," said one of the speakers, "and establish and teach classes wherever we get an opening." That is the right missionary spirit that is bound to conquer. We trust that the recommendation of the County Committee will be adopted, and that Wexford's exWe have ample will be followed in other places. branches in every county, but there are many people In every parish who are untouched by the Gaelic League. We can never progress except by individual conquests. Our warfare is one of single combat. We cannot mow down West Britons with grape shot. We mus t convince them individually and turn them into good Irish citizens. The true and useful Gael is he who when he has de-anglicised himself goes and convinces West Britons of the evil of their ways. A little mor vigour, a little more self-sacrifice, and a more ardent patriotism are sorely needed.

Vigorous Organisation.

The County Committee passed the following resolution:-" That we view with alarm and regret the influx of foreign and debasing literature into our towns on Sundays, and that in the combined interests of nationality and morality we call on the clergy of all denominations, our public boards, and the public generally, to check this growing evil."

We have been informed that a majorityfof the North Dublin Guardians refused at their last 'meeting to give any proof that the newly-elected Relieving Officer has a knowledge of Irish. The Dublin Coiste Ceanntair holds written promises to support the Gaelic League programme from several of the Guardians. The city Branches of the League should now take up the National Civil Service question. The promises It is plain that given to them have been broken. promises of many public representatives cannot be relied on, and that nothing but the establishment of a recognised system of making public appointments will secure for the Irish language its due[place in the public service.

ANDREW MAGUI�E, 10 & 12 NOR.TH STl{EET, BELFAST. reforms requ.ired, and urgently required, in the system of Irish Secoridary education, in my opinion. I am rather a bigot on the subject. It is a thoroughly bad system from top to bottom (hear, hear). There are many reforms required. First of all, a reform of the central control and the general method of its organisation. Secondly, a reform of and of progra!Ilme _the. p1;1rely competitive system by which the money is distributed. Thirdly, a reform of the methods of teaching, the number of subjects taught, and the class of subjects taught. Fourthly, of .cc:mrse, money. Mo�ey is required; and in my opinion-s-and here, agam, I admit that I am somewhat of a bigot-in my opinion the most necessary �nd the most urgent of_ .3:ll reforms is an improvement m the status and conditions of the assistant teachers in the schools of Ireland (hear, hear). I have frequently explained why I consider this to be the most urgent and necessary of all reforms. I consider it to be most urgent and necessary because it is the foundation of all reform.'1It is idle to set up, or it would be idle to set up, a control and organisation of Secondary education in this country and to set programmes or introduce even liberty of teaching such as Dr. Hyde has advocated if you continue to maintain such conditions for the Secondary teachers of this country as will repel all men of ability and ambition from following that profession (hear, hear). This country was made an absolute desert in this matter by successive confiscation and civil commotions. With the exception of the Erasmus Smith Schools and a few Grammar Schools which have survived, the educational establishments of Ireland were swept clean, whereas in England there is not a section of the country that is not covered with rich endowments which have come down for ages from pious founders whose endowments have increased in wealth as year!" roJled on. A NEW PROFESSION. I say we cannot hope to obtain all the reforms we desire, and I think, as a practical man, I would venture to mention some of the reforms which I think might be obtained this vear, or looked for. First of all, I put the creation of a recognised profession of Secondary teachers· by registration. That is the first step-the foundation. Once you create that, you rset a �ody which, by the law of its own existence, will continue to improve the status and emoluments of Secondary teachers. Secondly, a substantial increase in the �ate of their salaries. Thirdly, some system of promotion. Fourthly, some improvement in the condition ?f tenure -that I think will recommend itself to every Just man. And, fifthly, s�me provision, at least the begi?-ning of a provision, for old age in Secondary teachers in the shape of pensions

NO SPLITTING OF THE UNIVERSITY RATE. Now, let me say one word on an important subject to which the Chairman has already alluded, and that is the question of co-ordination. There is a co1;1troversy going on in the country ?'t present as to who is to J?rovide the scholarships which are to carry the exceptionally talented boy from the Primary schools to the Secondary schools, becau�e h� cannot s�ip from the Primary school to the Universi'ty at one JU�P· Some people have advocated that these Scholarships �hould be provided by the County Councils. I agree �1:h the Chairman; I am against that principle. I thmk thi;1.t these Scholarships should be provided by a cert�m sum set apart from the grant for Secondary educa!10n in this country. It is the work of Secondary ed�cat101:3-, and believe me the County Council Scholars�ps ,�·111 all be required to carry these boys on _to the University Let me say here a thing that may not (hear hear) be p�pular ·but in these matters we ought all to speak our minds frankly, whether it is popular' nor ot (hea:r, hear) because certainlv in educat10n, at least m educ�tional meetings, there ought to be the ut�ost possible liberty of discussion. �nd the utmost possible . . tolerance of difference of op1mon. I think that one of the dangers t�at 1� threatening us now in Ireland is too many Uruvers1ty students. 0�� o e: d To read the language of �ome pef ple � � �� a� ,,rh�t would that the entire pop1;1lah�n, be turned into Umversity s u �n sh ened ') You become of the nation if such a thing the c;ossings would have University students sweepmi:, t' . h other for the occupa ion.

I see Tim coming with THE FATHER-No. your portmanteau. THE MOTHER-Ring the bell, Nora. I know Tim does not take soup ; he prefers meat.

I don't think it is overdone. THE FATHER-Now, Father, which do you prefer well-done, half-done, or over-done. THE PRTEST-·l don't mind so that it is not too fat.

THE FATHER---Perhaps you don't know that we are exporting potatoes to the States this year. THE.PRIEST-You don't say so? TnE FATHER-Indeed we are, and they are m great demand yonder. THE PRII<..ST-I am not surprised. I have not tasted a floury potato since I left Ireland. They are not to be had ; or if they are they don't comE' into the big towns. THE l\IoTHER-Ha.ve another taste of the mutton Father. THE PRIE<;T-Not now, but I'll have a little bacon from you. It is a long time since I tasted bacon and white cabbage. They remind me of many things. THE FATHER-\Von't you have another bite, Nora., NORA-No, father, I have plenty. THE MOTHER-Touch the beU, Tim, as you are next to it, end let us have the sweets. I am told they are very fond of sweets ronder. THE PRIEST-They are, indeed, and with the result that they lose the teeth young.

THE IRISH PROGRAMME IN UNIVERSITY COLLEGE, GALWAY.

•

VIEWS OF VERY REV. M. ] . CONROY, PRESIDENT, ST. JARLATH'S COLLEGE.

Dear�Sir, I am truly sorry to see the attitude Dr. Maguire has assumed towards the Galway College. He is a prominent worker in Gaelic League matters, a man who has deservedly very great influence in the West, and, I fear, that his letter will be eagerly seized as an excuse for not fulfilling their pledges by many Co. Councillors His letter is, in fact, a throughout the province. direct invitation to them to do so ; and I am afraid that even among those Co. Councillors who are welldisposed towards the language, some will be found to oppose the University rate for the simple reason I hope it that Dr. Maguire has said they ought to. is not yet too late to examine and see if Dr. Maguire has sufficient justification for urging so extreme a course. _ Underlying his letter is the assumption that the proper standard has been fixed by the Dublin College, and as the Galway standard is admittedly higher and more scholarly, therefore, it is unreasonablv difficult, and its tendency will be to repel students and 'ultimately Now, let us examine the Dublin kill the College. Programme and see if it ought to be taken as a proper standard of University teaching or University examinations, and if it can be shown that it is entirely too low, then the groundwork of Dr. Maguire's contention completely fails. . Dr. Maguire w1?-o is, hi1:1self, a distinguished University graduate, will, I thmk, readily admit that a University course of studies in any ·subject ought to be considerably higher and more advanced than the Now, let Intermediate course in the same subject. us take up the texts and authors prescribed for the The very course pa�s B.A. in t�e Du�lin College. which Dr. Maguire so highly approves of, and see it they are of a range advanced and comprehensive enough to satisfy this condition. The works for 1911, 1912 are: ( 1) se.,;on.<\-150 pages each year.-Portions of Se.<\"On.<\ were prescribed for junior grade last year, and t�e whole Irish writings of Father Leary were prescnbed more than once for middle grade honours.

In the Universitv course �ertain definite works are prescribed, and the candidate is expressly told �hat he will be examined on these tuorks, In the Int�rmediate these same works or similar works are prescnbed, but only as "standards of style and character," and the Intermediate student has no assurance whatever that his examination will be In fact, for many years a large confined to them. proport10� of the passa_ges set to Honours students m the middle �ncl semor grades, were taken from works not mentioned on the Programme, and which they. had n�ver se�n before.

Hence I have no hesitation whatever in givm<Y

rt as my deliberate opinion that the honours cours�

of even the �iddle grade _is more difficult than the pass B:A. course m the Dubhn College; and, I think, this will be the conclusion any candid inquirer will come to who reads and weighs the facts I have stated. And this agrument and conclusion will be greatly strengthened and confirmed, if the plan suggested by you, Sir, a few weeks ago, be adopted, namely, to compare the passage selected from the" hardest book on the pass course �n Dublin," with the unseen passages actually set to rmddle grade honours students since I mention that date, because I have all the 1905. I shall submit them if he papers given since then. wis_hes, to Dr. Maguire, and let him judge from' these which of the two . programmes,. the middle grade honours or the Dublin pass B.A., is the more difficult. is In all this B.A. course not one word of Keatinz 0 His works are too hard evidentlv for the 1st read. arts or pass B.A. as they find a place-or at least the easiest of them finds a place, on the honours B.A. But Intermediate students who want to course. get tbe Matriculation Certificate in their senior Ozrade must_ have a fairly respectable acquaintance with Ke�tmg_-that is to say, that a student entering the University has to undergo a much more difficult examination than when he is graduatingJafter three That surely is an or four years of study later on. anomalous and utterly indefensible condition of things. And because University College, Galway cannot be charged with �his glaring anomaly, and 'has so far refused-and nghtly so-to lower its degree standard belo""." t_hat of every Intermediate school in the province -this is the reason why Dr. Maguire calls on the Co. Councils to h:eak their pledges and boycott the College. Dr. Maguire states that Modern Irish is almost I think if he makes �xch��ed from Galway College. mqumes, as I have done, he will find that in none of the Colleges, perhaps, is it more efficiently taught. . ?e also speaks about the omnipotence and infallibilrty of professors and exami�ers, of the blind policy, the unreasonableness and stupidity of those responsible for the Iri�h P_rogramme in Galway, and other strong I am sure that Dr. Maguire words of hke impo�:-t. all means t�1s. He_m�st know that the gentlehardl_y . men m charge of Insh studies m Galwav are as anxious f�r the extension and study of the language as he is himself_; �nd pro1?ably he used these phrases only as garnishing for his letter, to give it a certain air of robustness, a!ld heighten its picturesque effect. � Dr. Maguire referred to the courses in Modern Languages. With great respect, I submit such references are not to the point. The status of Irish in the University should not be regulated by the position of French or German or other foreizn language. II It should be on quite a different basis:' and the point for us, Irishmen, is not that it takes fe�er hours of study to get a degree in French than in Irish but to see that the national language is properly studied as the most important subject· in the University, that when the student leaves the Intermediate school and enters the University there shall be no hiatus-no break in his work, but that the work of the school shall be continued and broadened and advanced there so that when he leaves, his degree will be unimpeachable evidence of a wide and. scholarly knowledge of the national language. Dr: Mag?ire states th,�t its Irish programme "will certainly kill_the Coll�ge .. I do not feel quite so certain as Dr. Maguire on this point. A College or University may be starved to d�ath by depriving it of financial support, as Dr. Maguire purposes to do with Galway. It may suffer severely if considerations other than academic fitness are taken into account in the appointment ?fit� staff. But I have yet to learn that a College or_Umvers1ty. prop�rly s�affed and sufficiently endowed, I failed because of its high academic standards. think the facts point the other way-that the University with easy courses and worthless degrees went to the wall. Dr. Maguire and his friends can kill Galway if they are so determined. �hey must, however, get But if a better pre�ext than. the Insh programme. they allow it work its own fortunes unhampered and untrammelled, and give it the very moderate degree of s_upport they �ave solemnly pledged themselves to give, I �e�l q1;1ite �ertain_ that a long career of success and distinction is destined for University College, Galway.

A LETTER FROM MICHEAL O MAIL�. A Chara, Referring to the letter under the above headine in last week's issue of Ax CLAIDHEA)lH SOLUIS, signed Conor Maguire, ::\I.D .. I do not wish to trouble �·our Thev · will readers with more than a few remarks. easily know that the agitation he is trying to promote on the subject is on purely personal grounds. [We have here omitted a passage in which our correspondent drops into personal attack.-F. an Ch.l Professor O l\�aill�, a C<?D:nachtman, a natural speaker of Connacht Insh, inheriting all the traditions of the language, who had been cradled and crooned in a its sweet tones and cadences. was found by 1 he University Commission to have acquired the hiahest possible academic distinctions for. a :professorship of He had begun his literary work in the language. Irish as a boy with the enthusiasm of the earliest and best days of the Gaelic League, and has beyond doubt done as much for spoken Irish as any man in Ireland. Yet t1?-e mom�nt he was_ appointed professor the campaign of misrepresentation was begun by partisans of the unsuccessful candidate; and now when his z�al for giving Irish studies their rightful place leads him to plan an adequate programme of studies for his stu�ents, and a worthy syllabus of work for himself, he is not to be allowed to do so without havinz a howl And Conor of ob�truction organised against him. Maguire, M.D., and others ask the public to believe the preposterous assertion that he has made his programme of work difficult with the object of turninz 0 away his students ! ! �u! why does Dr. Conor Maguire now raise the seoinsn cry of too much Irish. He himself does not hesitate to impute motives to the professor and academic council, though he has no more reasonable motive to impute to them than the purpose of turning His object is easily students away from Galway. understood from his letter. It is to some extent an appeal to the lower seoinin instinct of some students but it is chiefly wit� the object of organising a boycott of the College by trying to mislead the County Councillor men who engaged in other pursuits have not time to make themselves acquainted with these matters, and may be expected. to be influenced by loud shouting If the programme were easier and false c�tch-cnes. the c?mplamt :-vould be : University Professors drawing salanes for domg the work of primary and secondary schools. To conclude, Professor O Maille and his friends are well known as pioneers and chief upholders of the Irish language movement in the West, and he can be relied o� . to i:aise the. Irish language to the fore-front of University studies, and he will not be intimidated by the shouts of disappointed men into degrading the language of Ireland's greatness.

ATHLETIC

CARNIVAL.

In Irish Ireland circles it was generally admitted that the most outstanding function during the past year was the Gaelic League Athletic Carnival which was held at Jones's Road in July. The great success which attended this venture was in a great measure due to the whole-hearted manner in which the Gaelic Athletic bodies in the city co-operated with the Gaelic League, and hopes were entertained that this was but the commencement of the happy combination of the two great hodies interested in Ireland's language and An Athletic Carnival on even a games and pastimes. more extended scale will be held this vear, and with a view to providing funds, etc; a great" Ceilidh will be held, with the kind permission of the Lord Mayor, at the Mansion House on Saturday, February 25th. In addition to the usual attractions of a Ceilidh, some A Ladies' prominent artistes are being engaged. Committee are in charge of the catering, etc., and a thoroughly enjoyable night is promised to each and all. Tickets (price 2s. 6c1. and 4s.) may be obtained from :my member of the Committee, or direct from the Hon Secs., 25 Rutland Square.

The Councils and the University.

It is encouraging to see the County Councils fulfilling the promises they made to the University. Many of them: moved by a spirit that honours our public men, have decided not to wait until 1913. Wexford, Waterford, Monaghan, Queen's County, Galway, Leitrim and Kerrv have included the rate in the estimates for the present year. Irish is to be an essential subject in the scholarship examinations. The enemies of Irish who told the Senate that the Councils would never pay a penny, now know that we have public men to whom patriotism and honour are not strangers.

It nas frequently been stated by the Envoys, that the subscriptions from individuals in reply to a personal appeal are their most fruitful source or income. They have asked again and again for the addresses of friends of the Gaelic League in the States. They have also requested members of the Gaelic League at home to write to their acquaintances in the States, asking them to communicate with either An tAthair O Flannagain or Fionan Mac Coluim.

GAELIC LEAGUE IN MON AGHAN. +)

On Sunday evening, February r zth , a meeting was held in the Patrician Brothers' Schools to re-organise the Gaelic League. The Chair was taken by Ven. Archdeacon M'Kenna, P.P., V.G., who delivered an address on the aims and objects of the Gaelic League. He called. for the formation of a vigorous Branch of

the organisation.

Dr. M'Kenna, J.P., Carrickmacross, proposed that a Branch of the Gaelic League be established, and that a Committee be formed to carry out the working. He dwelt at length on the work done for the encouragement and support of Irish industries since the inThat district auguration of the Gaelic movement. was rich in historical lore, and he thought the Gaelic League classes should do everything in their power to foster and encourage the study of Irish history (applause). Mr. ·Thomas Concannon, chief organiser Gaelic League, in showing what the towns could do towards influencing the Irish-speaking countryside, said in the town how much could be done if those in shops would only transact business with their country customers in Irish, endeavouring to show at the same time pride in their ability to do so. Let Branches of the Gaelic League bring this before the thousands of young men from Irish-speaking districts employed as shop assistants in every town. Let the young men themselves take the matter up. They will help on the ca.use effectively by so doing. Again, at social gatherings, in the workshop, in the hay field, around the Chapel gate on Sunday mornings, it should be a point of honour with all who can speak our language to do so; and as for the salutations, these expressive greetings should be in universal use even by those who have the misfortune not to know Trish. The path to national regeneration was no primrose path, and to shirk a difficultv merely because it was a difficultv boded ill for the moral stamina of their future nationality (hear, hear). The resolutions were seconded by Rev. P. J. Maguire, C.C., and supported by Rev. J. A. Meehan, C.C., after which a representative committee was elected. A new travelling teacher has been appointed for the district. and the classes have been resumed.

I saw a table revolving bookcase in the Kilkenny Woodworkers' Dublin shop the other day that quite took my fancy. It makes a very acceptable present, without being too expensive,

A MUNSTER IDIOM. I am not vet done with Mr. R. A. Foley as rezards 'Oo "Otl0�1) �:sur "00 "OeAJ1S.\1J �c� ... And first let me here remark that the constant puenlity of the stuff he writes is apparent from his ha:Jng taken up a me�e printer's error (" R. l\I. Foley } as a1;1 ar�um�nt m the discussion ! There should be no silly side-issues in a purely academic question. He_ asserted that. I have never admitted mvself to be m the wrong: in anything. In reply, I simply say : That_ is not tru�. The facts are indeed the other way. He will not adnut himself wronz in his absurd interpretation of the phrase, 0 but actually winds up his lette.r with a personali_ty in which he azain shows how little he knows of rts application. It is quite cle�r that he has never kn?wn the idiom. I have even distrusted my own prev10us knowledge of it, and have gone to the trouble of asking many Munster speakers and scholars of Irish about their application of the expression. The result is �hat I find all opinions in my favour, that is, I am right as regards the meaning of the thing, whatever way mere wording may express it in English. The writers in the CLAIDHEAMH were also in agreement with me. The most straightforward Irish for " he blushed " is in Munster uo t.o.r re. This I prefer to al! other renderings. 'Oo ue.0.115 re ru.o.r, as given by one correspondent is fairly correct with the exception of ftl.6.f which seems to be Anglicism ; uo ue.0.115 re or uo ue.o.11;su15 re, no doubt being better. A distinction is rightly drawn in some districts between t.o.r.o.u, the redness of blushing, and Lm pne, the natural ruddiness of a person in a state of good health. This I overlooked in giving a certain phrase. As earnest of my desire to make myself still more exact in my facts, I would now once again revise my attempts at translating uo uuo.o.u .<\SU r uo ue.0.115.0.u .o.15e, in order to give an adequate and neat rendering of it in English that should be the most natural expression of the same idea in that language. My first attempt was too faithful, as it was the popular method of translating it. My second was too long and roundabout, not to say prolix, but probably served its purpose as an explanation. Here, then, is what occurred to me one evening when I was having a chat with co n.Sn rn.eot., We were talking in Irish and I asked his opinion of the matter. He told me that his way of it was oo uu10 .o.;sur uo ue.0.115 .o.15e1 and he then gave me a long explanation in Irish, the wording of which I cannot now call to mind. However, I understood every word, and such a clear impression was conveyed to my brain that at once the ordinary English idiom (or whatever we may call it) for the same idea sprang suddenly, as it were, before my mind's eye. This is, "He became purple and speechless with rage." The Irish idiom may, therefore, be classified as an analytically artistic one. Any artist will inform Mr. Foley, if he goes to more trouble than he has hitherto gone to in the matter, that one shade of purple arises from the combination of black and red. The impersonal (literal) " it blackened and reddened at him," then = "he became purple" and by one becoming purple "rage" is naturally connoted. " Speechlessness " often accompanies rage and follows as an additional inference to complete the sense. In conclusion, let me add that my goal is truth and facts. Mr. Foley's, on the other hand, appears to be to score off an opponent, usually with venom, and especially " to give a dog a bad name." He need not fear any relaxation of pugnacity on my side. If necessary, I shall fight him with some of his own weapons . until he knows the ordinary decencies of controversy. ae os.e.rn t.<\01'0e.

In Ath Cliath. A special meeting of the Delegates of the City Branches of the Gaelic League ·was held at the central offices, 25 Rutland Square, on Saturday evening last 11th inst. The President of the District Comn1ittee' Micheal Smidic, B.E., B.L., occupied the Chair, and the following delegate$ were in attendance :-Keating Branch, Michael O Foghluaha and Padraig O Ceallachain ; Ard-Chraobh, Seoirse O Heireamhion ; Blackrock Gaelic League. Micheal Smidic and Micheal Mag Rua dhai; Drumcondra Branch, Micheal O Murchadha; Mac Hale Branch, Mairtin O Connallain· St. Kevin's Branch, Padraig O Haichir and Seamu� Mag Fionnlaoich; Mount Argus Branch, Liam O Briain; Old City Branch, Micheal O Caomhanaigh and Eamonn Comortun ; Colm Cille Branch, E. Callendar and Micheal O Fearthainn; Coiste Ceanntair, Micheal O Loingsigh ; Padraig Mac Giolla Eithne · Proinnsias O Fathaigh, B.E., and Micheal O Maclain'. Assistant Secretary. Correspondence read from An Coisde Gnotha (Executive Committee) to which the Secretary was directed to reply. FrNANCE.-The Sub-Committee appointed to go into the question of the financial position of An Coiste Ceanntair, presented a report of its work. After a lengthened discussion in which nearly all the delegates present joined, the report was adopted, and the recommendations made by the Sub-Committee as to the better working of the various Sub-Committees approved of. The Chairman said that the delegates were under a deep debt of gratitude to Micheal O Caomhanaigh and to Michsal O Foghluclha for their patient work in connexion with the Sub-Committee. CARNIVAL SUB-COMMITTEE CEILIDH.-It was announced at meeting that the above Sub-Committee intend holding a monster Ceilidh on Saturday evening, 25th inst. Proceedings will commence at 8 p.m. A splendid programme has been The delegates present undertook to arranged for. bring the project under the notice of their Branches. Tickets for same may be had from the Secs., Domhnaill O Murchadha and Micheal O Foghludha. The Carnival Sub-Committee are busily engaged in making preliminary arrangements for 2nd Annual Event, the date of which will be announced later. DUBLIN FEis, 1911.-The question of a Dublin Feis for 1911 next engaged the attention of the meeting. Some of the delegates present were of the opinion that the Feis should be dropped for a year or two as the support given to the projectlby the general public and by Gaelic Leaguers even fell far short of what might reasonably be expected. On the other hand many delegates were altogether opposed to the idea of Feis being discontinued as it was absolutely necessary that Annual Examinations be held in connexion with the Branches. It was urged against the holding of a Feis this year that the time was now very short to successfully The majority of the delegates organise one. however,. inclined to the view that an energetic Committee could successfully organise a Feis and it was ultimately decided that the Dublin Feis, 1911, be held. The following were, after further discussion, nominated on Feis Committee:Padraig Mac Giolla Eithne, Labhras O Muirgheasa, Criostoir O Monachain, Domhnall OMurchadha, Micheal Smidic, Micheal O Caomhanaigh, Micheal O Foghludha, Seoirse O Muanain.

� In Dromchonrach.

The annual general meeting was held on Tuesday, There was a very full attenda1;1ce 31st ult. of members, and the election of officers for the ensumg session resulted as follows :-Uachtaran, P. Mac Tornaighe. P.L.G.; Leas-Uachtarain (Beirt) Liam Mac Gio!la Phoil and Mr. M. Stafford, P.L.G. The members of thf' old Committee were re-elected with one or two exceptions. A long discussion took place in reference to . the attitude of the North Dublin Union Roard of Guardians towards Irish in connection with the recent election of Relieving Officer to the Board. The following resoh1tion was unanimously adopted : " That we, the members of Drumcondra Bra�ch Gaelic League, condemn in the strongest. poss1?le manner the recent action of the North Dublm Umon Board of Guardians in voting to the position of Relieving Officer a candidate who had not satisfied the Board that he possessed a knowledge of the Irish Language, this being in direct contradiction t� the terms of advertisement which stated that the candidate must have a knowledge of Irish. The action of !hi Chairman calls especially for condemnation, he bemg a Gaelic Leaguer." Sean Ua Cathac:aigh spoke vigorously in support of the resolution, and it was the opinion of all the speakers that in view of the election of Guardians takingTplace next May, the action of those members of the Bo3:rd who voted against the claims of the Language in spite of their avowed sympathy otherwise, should be made public as much as possihle. /)

Seaghan O Ccarbnaill spent the first fortnight of the New Year in the Macroom and Ballyvourney districts. He held meetings at Cluandrihid Chapel gate, Cui! a Bhuacaig, Toames, He arranged with the Ballyvourney Gaels to employ a Muinteoir. The parishes of Donoughmore, Coachford, Kilmicheal, and Ach Aoinneach, were also visited, Nothing is being done for the language in the parish of Ach Aoinneach. Though the parish is an Irish-speaking one, not a word of the language is taught in the five schools of the parish. The manager, Fr. T. O'Callaghan, is entirely responsible for this state of affairs . Not a word of Irish is taught in the Macroom Boys School. Though there are two strong National political parties-CT.LL. and A.F.I.L.-in the town, as well as A.O.H., G.A.A., Town Tenants League, Farmers' Association, Catholic Young Men's Society, Sinn Fein Society, and a number of other societies, still the A wonderful town is National language is ignored. Macroom ! Needless to say no adult classes are held. Are the people of Macroom anxious that the Irish language should die ? This is a fair question to ask. In Ballyvourney the Rev. Fr. Burton, P.P., and his curate, Fr. Hurley, are doing excellent work for the language. The Bilingual programme is in operation in the Cuil Aodha and Barr Innse schools, and Fr. Burton, manager, is to apply to the Commissioners for permission to have the programme introduced into the Sliabh Riabhach and Ballyvourney schools for the coming year. Let us hope that \h.is permission will be granted, and not postponed for trifling causes, as sometimes happens. A good number .from Muscraighe are to present themselves at the Gaelic League Scholarship examinations in May next-.3:bout .15 in nu�ber. This will probably r1:ean 15 native. Ir�sh-speakmg tea�hers in a few years time. Th� _maJonty of these pupils are coming from Re na n Doiridhe where the teacher, Sean O Suiliabhain ' is keenly interested in the scheme.

The teachers in the Foynes branch are Mr. kenry. Purtell, N.T., and Miss Ahearn, N.T. Miss Neilli Ni Bhriain also takes a turn at teaching, and is keenly interested in the working of the Craobh. Splendid work is being done in the Foyncs Schools. Seaghan held special meetings at Kilcornan, Palas kenry, and Kildimo. The people come in large numbers to listen to the Organisers' lectures. Seosep O Concobhair, M. Taisil, is a general favourite. The Organiser is at present in the Dromcollogher district where he is working under the guidance of An tAthair Tomas De Bhal, Notes on movement in district in future issue.

--:-

The purpose of my previous note on this and similar expressions was to show that they could not be regarded as Anglicisms. Your readers will judge .for themselves whether." Conall Cearnach" has faced my He will not admit that his view is argument. untenable, tho�gh he endeavours to modify it when he suggests that, if naomh martain be not an Anglicism ' it is at least a Latinism. . I do not require to be told that noab is an adjective m the case. Why does he give naoirnh-Mhartain as the moder� I�ish transcription of n(a)ebmartain seeing that the ad J ective before the noun always remains undeclined. The proper translation of noib Patraic, we are told is " holy Patrick," as if " Saint Patrick " were wro�g and as if there were no way of saying" Saint Patrick ,J except something passed as a non-Anglicism by" Conall Cearnach.'' In the shape of erlam Patraic, Mr. O'Connell erects I leave it to a cockshot to discharge his own rifle at. him for his amusement. PAUL WALSH. 3.3.1911.

PATRICK'S DAY CELEBRATION LONDON.

Brixton, S.W. A Chara, The " unknown " part of London in which the above commemoration will be held this year is Holy Trinity Church, Dockhead, S.E., a part of London very well known to most London Gaelic Leaguers whom I hope will turn up in strength on Sunday r oth inst. Surely C. de T. cannot be in earnest in suggesting that St. Paul's Cathedral! ! ! is a more fitting place for an Irish service than Irish dockhead. Neither is the reason for its discontinuance in Westminster Cathedral so very much "unknown," as C. de T. could easily discover upon enquiry. No more fitting place could be found to honour that ancient tongue than the place where priests and people are Irish in spirit as well as in name. Mise, do Chara, TADHG O RIOGHBHARDAIN. [The suggestion that all London Gaelic Leaguers should attend a religious service in Irish at St. Paul's, made by C. de T., should not have appeared in AN CLAIDHEAMH. We regret its publication, which was due to an oversight.-F. an Ch.]

-----I Mannchuin. Micheal O Foghludha, Organiser for Great Britain, has achieved considerable success since he established his headquarters in Mannchuin. Perseverance and energy shewed their jood fruits in the gathering at the Banba Hall (Craobh O Growney) on the evening of the 4th instant, and the manner in which each particular question was reviewed and dealt with augurs well for the future government of the Language work of his district. The following representatives attended from the various branches :-1\1. P. 0 Riain, S. O Cathain, P. 0 Laimhin, Mannchuin ; T. 0 Frigbile, S. O hOgain, Bury; P. Mac Mathghamhna, P. H. O hEanachain (2), Oldham; U. 0 Cobhthaigh, S. O Bairead, Salford; M. 0 Raghallaigh, Eccles; M. O Cathain, Warrington ; A. 0. Liathain, Blackburn. There was besides news from Accrington, Bolton, Stockport, and Hyde, which portends increased activity in those centres. It was decided then and there to establish a Coisde Ceanntair (Mannchuin and district}, with a view to knitting the several Branches more closely together and exercising supervision over the language work in the Ccanntair. The following were elected officers of the Coisde :-M. P. 0 Riain, President ; J. Windle, J.P., and A. Liathain, Vice-President ; T. 0 Frighile, Treasurer ; M. F. 0 hOgain, Secretary; M. O Cathain, Assistant Secretary. The delegates immediately set to work on an extensive business programme and arrangements were made to spur on the work in every direction. Seachtmhain na Gaedhilge was discussed and everything wi 11 be done to reach all sympathisers, with a healthy spirit of co-operation and a sytem of mutual assistance Beidh cruinniughadh an Choisde ar siubhal aris ar 24adh dc'n mhi seo I Banba Hall, ar a 6.30 o'clog.

-:·--

The celebration of St. Patrick's was this year more general and much more Irish than in previous years. The national language has successfully invaded the churches at last. There were many Irish services in both theProtestant and 'catholic churches of Dublin. In Waterford, Cork, Limerick, Wexford, Kilkenny, Athlone, Galway, Castlerea, Belfast, and in most of the smaller towns where the Gaelic League exists, there were Irish sermons or religious services in Irish. An Irish sermon was preached in St. Mary's Protestant This is a big advance, and is Cathedral, Limerick. the first step towards the permanent use of Irish in all the churches. There were many religious celebrations in Irish in London and Scotland. Father Angnstine, ot Church Street, Dublin, lectured at Dundee. In the public meetings and processions the Gaelic League took a leading or prominent part in almost all cases. No English was spoken at the Galway Resolutions advocating compulsory Irish meeting. in the training colleges, the reform of the Intermediate system, and the support of home industries, were passed at a great Gaelic League meeting in Waterford city. The new Pipers' Band made its first appearance in the Limerick procession on St. Patrick's Day. The Uisncach Gaelic League Pipers' Band took part in the Athlone demonstration. The Clonmel Gaelic League took part in a great procession that paraded the town. The Gaelic League of Dublin made no formal celebration, but a great number of city Gaels were present at the Mansion House Ceilidhe on the night of roth. The Ceilidhe was organised by the Atheltic Carnival Committee, a body that has undertaken the desirable work of showing the Gaelic League and the Gaelic Athletic Association how to co-operate for the advancement of common aims. During the night an address in Irish was given by Mr. Piaras Beasley and the Dublin Pipers' Band gave selections of Irish war music. The Rotunda concert which was organised by the Na.tional Council of Sinn Fein, drew a large audience. The renewal of temperance pledges was a feature of the religious celebrations in New Ross and Wexford. Temperance demonstrations were organised in many towns, and an increased number of public houses were closed. Displays of Irish goods in shop windows were noticeable in Ennis, Athlone, and other places. Plays and concerts were given by the Gaelic League in Kilkenny, Tipperary, and Galway. -

An Craoibhin Aoibhinn in Birmingham.

The _spiri� with which A� Craobhin Aoibhinn speaks of nationality and of national self-reliance is one of Ireland's. greatest assets. Ordinary speakers convince hearers m twos and threes but An Craoibhin wins He _is pers�nally responsible for the th�m in hosts. existence of the Gaehc League in manv districts where the gospel of Irish Ireland was fi;st heard-ar.<l accepted-from his lips.

Young and old joined forces in Tipperary on St. Patrick's Dav. The bovs of the local schools, the members of the Gaelic League from many districts about the town the members of the hurling and football clubs, and representatives o� the townand loca� �ssoci�tions. marched in the pubhc procession and joined m the p.ublic meeting.

At the public �ee.ting Canon Arthur He was the principal speaker: The Ryan presided. meeting was also addressed by An Dalach, Dr. 0 Ryan, Chairman cf the South Tipperary County Council: and by Mr. Daniel Kelly, Chairman of the Urban Council. The celebration was not merely comrnemorative. It was made the occasion of splendid propagandist work. and was educative and rousing in effect. Canon Ryan spoke on the collapse of Intermediate Board :finances. The present bankruptcy was due to the growing temperance of the Irish people. While the British Government were making unlimited provsion for the army and navy they had nothing but broken promises for Ireland We had often been told of the indispensable advantage of political union with a wealthy nation, but in the one matter that most affected our future-the education of our youth-we stand before the world as bankrupts. He appealed, in the name of Tipperary, to the Irish Party to put on the screw, and force the Treasury to do justice to the Intermediate Board. He had no desire to see a German invasion, but he would prefer an educated Ireland under the Germans to an ignorant Ireland. The meeting passed the following resolution:" That we once more protest against the continuous hostility displayed by the Commissioners of Intermediate Education towards the native language, and we also declare that the whole condition of secondary education is deeply injurious to the welfare of the country."

Galway wants Irish Speaking School Inspectors.

The Irish language was uppermost in Galway city on St. Patrick's day. English also was treated justly -it was forgotten. An Irish sermon was preached in the Pro-Cathedral by An tAthair O Fagain, one of the finest of living Irish pulpit speakers. Irish was the only language used at the public meeting. The Bishop of Galway, Dr. O'Dea, marched with many of his clergy in the public procession, which was joined by the University College students, and many of the professors, the G.A.A., the A.0.H., and Foresters, and by a large body of horsemen from the country. Sobriety, discipline, good humour, and earnestness," says a report " were the order of the day." The public meeting passed a resolution protesting against the custom of sending to the Irish-speaking districts inspectors of primary schools ismorant of the Irish language. Dr. MacEnri said that a head inspector who is ignorant of Irish was reported to be coming to . Galway district.' The sending of such a man there would be a gross injustice to the children and to the teachers. Galway would not tolerate having Irish killed in its schools. Professor Eoin Mac Neill said that " the reason why the authorities and Boards did such things as were complained of at that meeting was because thev judged from the ordinary conduct of the people that the people themselves were content to have such things ?one .. It o.nly needed a more manly attitude, especially m their private conduct, to convince the authorities that they had a solid public opinion to deal with. It was useless to makeTpublicprofessionsunlesstheybacked them up at home. );opeoplecould keep the Irish language alive but people who had it alive, and none but those who had it alive could ki!l it. The real killers of the Irish were the fathers and mothers who had inherited Irish from past a.ges and di? not lea v<; _it as a living language among their own children. l here mav have been some excuse for such conduct in the past but in the pr?s_ent it was contemptible and bespoke a mean sp1�:t. . Some excused themselves by saying that their object was to get on in the world. That meant that they were for selling their national lanzuaze They should make �ure of the price. A gene�ati�� had grown up depnved of their national lanrruage. \Vhere was the reward for its betrayal ? The �xcuse was a false one. Everybody there knew well that the reason why people tnrned their backs on Irish was because they wanted to imitate the ways and fashions of certain great folks." ·

Dr. Tohill, presided. and 9 p.m. there was a very large attendance of priests. Manv non-Catholic Gaels were also present.

The one hundred students from St. Mary's Training College, ably assisted by the boys from St. Malachy's College and from the Christian Brothers' Schools, led the congregational singing. The event was heartening and impressive.

For nearly ten years he worked almost night and day for the native language which he spoke better than many a native speaker.

BILINGUAL CAN ADA. l. The fight of the French Canadians for their language has a direct interest for Irishmen. It happens that Irish exiles or their descendants in Canada are ranged on the side of English in the war which is now being waged against the progress of the French language in the Dominion. The vitality of the French tongue · and its wonderful adaptability to the requirements of modern life, as some of the enemies of Irish might put it, and the patriotism and assertiveness of the French Canadians, have aroused a fear in the English population that Canada may yet become a French nation from ocean to ocean. When Canada came under British rule in 1763, the population, then 70,000, was entirely of French descent. The French colonists were originally centered in the province of Quebec, where their descendants now number 1,322,000 in a population of 1 600,000. They have given a French population of 1 '200 ooo tofhej United C:tates. The French of the dioc�se 'of London" in Ontario number over 32,000. This American branch of the French race shows a tendency to multiply rapidly, and it undoubtedly has • a great power of retaining its language and racial characteristics. In Quebec, where French is the common language, the French population suffer few hardships. English is spoken in the towns, but both languages are officially recognised in the schools, French is also an courts, and public departments. official language of the Dominion Parliament. In the newer provinces where the English predominate the French language is not encouraged, but the French who have a genius for religious organisation, claim the right to have priests of their own race, and it is on this point they clash with .the Irish of Canada . The English- speaking Catholics of Canada are almost The priests and bishops are either entirely Irish. Irish or of Irish descent. They have never be m acceptable to the French, and Jately they appear to have joined in a movement to put an end to the use of the French language in religious instruction and in religious ceremonies in the part of Ontario where the French-speaking Catholic population exceeds the The English-speaking section by several thousands. bilingual question is now uppermost in the politics of Ontario, and matters were accentuated last year by the interference of the Archbishop of Westminster, who deeply offended the French by advising them to learn English for their spiritual welfare. The French, who arc devout Catholics, are a people of considerable industrial worth, and of no little culture. Their opinion in this matter is worthy of respect. They .have no doubts whatever regarding the movement that is going on against their language and nationality, and they deeply resent the action of some of the Canadian Bishops in joining in the campaign against them. They have a special grievance against Irish churchmen in Canada, who should have no reason whatever to oppose the use of French, and still less to subject the French Canadians to a process that has almost killed the use of Irish, not only in America, but at home. It may be said that the Irish Canadian priests who discourage the use of French and refuse to use it

A Chara,

I enclose a cheque for the Gaelic League sent to me by my _frien<il, The Abbe Lindsay of Quebec. When I was m Quebec last year he and I discussed the prospoct_s ?f keeping _up the Freme� language in Canada At his and reviving the Insh language in Ireland. request I wrote a couple of articlos on the subject in the magazine of which ho is the editor, "La Nouvelle I regretted that tho Irish Canadians should France." have joinec� the English in opposing the French language;_ it seemed to 1:1<' that if the emigrant Gaels wore destined to lose- their- own langua,ge it would be hotter for thorn to be merged in a kindred Celtic But somepopuJation than in a hostile Saxon race. h�w our Irish people always seem to take a perverse viow of these matters. �n��rtunat<'ly this opposition has estranged two races w ho oug:ht to bo friends, and I hope will be soon. The Abbe Lindsay sent his £2 subscription as a testimony of the sympathy of a Fronch Canadian to our cause. Misc le meas mor M UIRIS O MORDHA. Stiophan Bairead , Cisteoir Connartha na Gaedhilge.

[AN CLAIDi:UlAMl:I SOLUD.]

C.C., Mr. Carr, ... [ational Teacher,,andf.Mr. O'Duffy, delivered Irish addresses. The proceeds· of the ceilidh which will go to the Central Funds, amounted to the respectable sum of £10, clear of all expenses. Aodh was very pleased with the work of the schools Children in Ardboe, Co. Tyrone, who collected over £7 5s. for the Language Fund. The success of this collection is, to a large extent, due to the encouragement given them by the Rev. T. McCann, C.C. Rev. P. J. Boylan, P.P., presided at a lecture delivered by Father Matt. Maguire, in Clogher on March 30th. An tAthair Maitiu caught the attention of his audience and held it to the close. His lecture was admitted to be one of the most effective ever given before the Gaelic League of Clogher. Rev. E. Coyle, C.C., Maguiresbridge, and Aodh O Dubhthaigh also addressed the meeting. A large number of the children present followed Aodh's Irish speech with great interest. A ceilidh was afterwards held, and was attended by hundreds of the young people of all denominations, and it can truly be said of Clogher, at any rate, that nobody cares for the Seoinin at all. The meeting was the and most ever organised by the representative largest local branch, and great credit is due to Mr. Rice, Sec. Mr. Mc\Villiams, Treasurer, Eadhmonn O Cunnaidh' Irish Teacher, and all the members of the Committee? . .

THE RECLAMATION OF'. THE NATIVE SPEAKER.

A PROGRAMME FOR BILINGUAL SCHOOLS.

-.:.--

THE

Enrroa.

A Chara, . There is no doubt of the truth o� the assertion that the native speaker w�o habitually speaks English to his chil�ren rs the most P?tent executioner of the Insh language: There is no use in thundering at him. He either does not hear the thunders. or, especially if they be delivered in English, does not heed them. At the present time he probably errs m�re from ignorance and sheer f ?rce of bad h�b1t than from any anti-Irish feeling._ . The _Gaelic �eague has done more than its crrtics will admit. �n the fully Irish-speaking districts, at any rate �n Galway, Mayo and �onegal, there are s!1ll hundreds of Irish-speaking homes where English would be by now the daily tongue, but �or the propaganda of t?e G�eli� League. But 1n. the semi-Irish-speaking chstnc�s where the habit of speaking English to children was firmly estabhshed the task is more difficult. w« have' several plans for winning over t�ose erring native speakers s�ggest�d or tned. The "Glenarriff scheme, which had such excellent results in Co. Antrim, is being tried by Tomas O Colmain with promising success in Maree and has also been begun by some of the Mercy N�ns in Galway City. Prizes to the children in the schools also does good, but I fear that in most cases both these plans will fail when the English-speaking habit_ h�s got �trongly rooted. The " GJenarriff scheme requires a very good and enthusiastic teacher to work it, and the second plan has the defect that the parents may leave the teaching of Irish to the school. and continue to speak English themselves. I have another plan to suggest, viz., putting a premium upon each child who comes �o sc�ool able to speak Irish on the first d.ay of his ar:1yal there. His being able to do so is p_roof pos1t1ve of an Irish-speaking home. How rs this to be brought about? I suggest by giving a small premium, say ros., or �o, to the p�rents of each child able to speak Insh on commg to scho.ol. Ten shillings a child would go a long way with poor people. . . The provision of the money is the difficulty, and· therefore the experiment could, at first, only be tried 'in a few selected localities. If the experiment prove successful, I do not see why an Irish Parliament should not be asked to provide funds for doing the same thing on a large scale until the language be out of danger. The French Government, I have heard, grants premiums, and the English Government gives a reduction of income tax to the fathers of families, and other governments give bounties to revive dying industries or establish new ones. Why then should not an Irish Parliament give bounties to save its national language from death? I cannot think of any more suitable place for the experiment than Galway City. There are few houses in the city without one or more Irish speakers, but English is usually the language spoken to the children. After careful consideration Bohermore School has been thought the most suitable for an experiment. The teacher, Micheal O Lochain, is an enthusiastic Gael. The new Administrator of the parish, Rev. Fr. Considine, is also a veteran Gael. There is Irish in almost every home which supplies the school. Funds are all that are required to give the experiment a fair trial, and we, therefore, appeal to the Gaelic world to help us financially. Father Considine and Father MacAlinney, Dean of Residence, University College, Galway, will act as Treasurers, and will see that the money is properly expended. Anyone wishing to help in the good work should send his subscription, big or small, to Fr. MacAlinney. In due time a full account of the result of the experiment will be published, and if more funds are received than are judged to be needed for Bohermore School, the balance will be applied to trying the same experiment in a rural school, viz., that of Tomas O Colmain, at Maree, three miles from Oranmore, 011 the east side of Gal\\.·ay, where the same condition of affairs prevails. Nearly all East Galway could be made as Irishspeaking as West Galway in five years if the habit of speaking English to children could be broken. I write this letter in English so as to reach the many moneyed sympathisers with the Gaelic- movement, who, for one reason or another, are unable to read an Irish letter. Mise,

The Best and Worst Nail in the' Ark. The wright who built the ark left a place for anail empty in it, for he was sure that he himself would not be taken in it. When Noah with his children went into the ark, as the angel had told him, Noah shut the windows of the ark and raised hL hands to bless it. Now the devil had gone into the ark beside him as he entered, and when N aoh blessed the ark the devil found no. other way but the empty hole that the wnght had left unclosed, and he went into it in the form of a serpent, but so tight was the hole that he could neither go out nor come back and he was so until the flood ebbed. And that was the best and the worst nail n the ark. 0. J. BERGIN. (Eriu.)

It 13 still moro strange when we consider that the accusation 15 false and that the French Canadians am better treated as regards religious instruct�on in their own language than aw the IrishIn speaking Catholics of any diocese in Ireland. every parish where they arc numerous, the priest, if not I rench, at least hears confession in French and preaches in French every Sunday or every S(>COnd Sunday. • fany priests preach first in one language then m another, at the same Mass. .. -owhere in Ontaria does there <·xist a French congregation which does not have the Word of God preached to it in its own language.

The CI�AIDHEAMH makes an attack on the diocese of London in particular. Now the bishop of that diocese, a man whose parents were born in Ireland has stated emphatically, and ho means it, that he' will ?rdain n9 pr�est for his diocese who is not able to preach m both English and Fren�h. Does any bishop in Ireland do that much for the Irish language, or for the Irishspc aking portion of his :flock ?

I should advise .writers of t�e CLAJDHEAMH while discussing tho language question in Canada not to denounce the Irish-Canadian priests and bishops simply because some French paper has done so.

LANGUAGE AND NATIONALITY IN CANADA •

--···--

A. Charaid, I should be much obliged by your allowing me to offer some brief observations on the letter of" Seanan " which appears in your current issue. . Xo one su.r�ly doubts the readiness of the Ecclesiastical Authonties to enforce the provisions of the Council of Trent, so far as they concern national languages. An excellent summary of those provisions will be found in a rec�nt issue of La Nouvelle France. They should be studied by all concerned, and will serve to refresh the memories of laymen, who are, necessarily, not so ,..,,en acquainted (as a rule) with the spirit and letter of those famous But the Canadian provisions as are ecclesiastics. bilingual question has a significance apart altogether from the religious or ecclesiastical one, which should be apparent to all who have given any attention . to political affairs. " Seanan's " letter is concerned with the religious aspect of the question, and its temper But he and spirit are surely highly commendable. hardly appears to be conscious of the political m�tz:j underlving Monsignor Bourne's recent most provocative It is obvious that, things being as pronouncement. they are, the Gaelic interest in the matter is on the Whatever French as opposed to the English side. tends to enhance English prestige and to enlarge the circumference of her influence, should be opposed tooth and nail by the Gael; because even a beetle cou�d not fail to see that what has brought the Gael to hls knees is the power of that vast influence operating on the too plastic surface of his own national environIt is not by drawing nearer to the mag1:et ment. that the too confiding load-stone can hope to resist the power of attraction exercised by the former. Personally, my sympathies are all with. the FrenchCanadians in this matter, though I hesitate to call My etymological a.nd every foreigner I meet a Gael. biological studies have not, so far, taken me that length, though I am quite prC::pared to admit t�e superior speed of Colonel Maunce Moore, who ha1ls the French as Gaels! Still, the fact that Monsignor Bourne chose the hour vvhen he was the guest of the French-Canadians as the correct psychological moment for his extraordinary oratorical display and that, unconsciously or not, in so doing he was acting as the agent piovocateur of Saxon Imperialism-these . two facts are quite enough to put me on the side of the French in this matter. Mise le meas, RUARAIDH ARASCAIX IS MHAIRR, (Editor of" Guth na Bliadhna.")

THE LANGUAGE MOVEMENT AND THE STUDY OF OLD IRISH

---:-

As the study of Old and Middle Irish is one of my most favourite occupations, there can certainly no one say that I am preJudiced in any "."1·Y against. th?sc However, I cannot refram from thmkmg studies. that the recent course adopted by the Galway College one, quite uniitte<l to meet the is a hirrhly imprudent . b demands of the nation. If the Irish language would be firmly established and had taken a firm root in the people, then such measures would be justified, but under the present circumstances these measures are in open contrastif I may not say hostility-to th.e language �ovement. There are always people who thmk that all is ,vell now and that the nation's language is rescued from death. That is certainly not true. And as long as you believe On the contrary, the that no progress is possible. dangers are very great now, and if all efforts ar:c not made at once, it will be too late. Personal experience has taught me that. Many Iris1:1men seem to believe that thev have done enough, 1f they smoke Ban ba ciP-arettes and say " la breagh " and " slan Speaking Irish niust not be only a kind of leat." temporary fashion, but must become a part of your And as long �s life: a part of your inmost fC::eling. Irish is not spoken by the fireside, all other efforts will be in vain. Under such circumstances the study of Old and Middle Irish cannot be anything else than a luxury, reserved for those in whose heart and mind Modern Irish has already taken such deep roots, that their thirsty souls must turn to more remote fountains in order to be satisfied, or for those who want to become scholars or antiquarians. It is also quite just that the old language should be taught on the National Uni,versity and its studf is certainly prefe�a�le t� that of Greek or Latin, but m every other case 1t 1s a cnme to devote time and eagerness to the teaching of the old language, as long as the living tongue is not firmly enough established. To all true Irish patriots I can only say: "Beware yourself! " The old language is safely enshrined in manuscripts and books and cannot be lost any more. But , the modern language, the living spirit. of the nation, is on the point of death, and only with the utmost care the utmost energy, the utmost selfsacrifice can' vou keep this burning tender soul from leaving its withered body-yes, for without its langua:ge Ireland will be but a great carcass; and the English ravens and scaldcrows are already waiting on the other side of the Irish sea." Mise, bhur gcara i gcomhnuidhe. DR. JULIUS POKORNY., Vienna IX., Schwar-spanierstrasse 15 Austria.

THE OIREACHTAS.

HOLD THE BRANCHES.

: The evening classes held under Gaelic League auspices terminate in most places in the present month, and the winding up of the classes is usually followed by a cessation of all work by the branches. The discontinuance of the adult classes at this time of the year is generally unavoidable, but the activity of the branches ·should be maintained throughout the summer months. The collection for the Language Fund is not yet complete, and no branch should wind up its meetings for the long summer interval until its part in the collection has been done. The feiseanna and the Oireachtas need support. They need competitors and financial assistance. Competitors coming to the Oireachtas should be It is the provided with travelling expenses. lack of means to defray such expenses that has left the large feiseanna _ and the Oireachtas dependent on a small body of. competitors. A small fund in every branch to pay the travelling expenses of genuine Oireachtas competitors would enable school children, and singers and storytellers from the Gaedhealtacht to come up to our annual festival. To bring them to Dublin, where they may see that their language is respected and cherished, is to give them just the education they require, and to make them active workers among people where workers are most needed. There has for several years been a dearth· of competitors from the Gaedhealtacht. The cause we have already stated. The remedy lies with the branches. Besides such obvious duties as those we have men tioned there are other things for the branches to do. Propagandist work cannot be neglected. The holding of an aeridheacht is one of the best means of bringing the aims of 'the League before the public. The aeridheacht is inexpensive, and it is popular. It serves the double purpose of a meeting and of a feis, and there is no town or village where one might not be held. The creation 'of a healthy public opinion on matters of national importance is so necessary that the activity of the branches should not be allowed to cease for· a single week. The local elections will take place in less than two months. The Gaelic League has never made any general attempt to pledge the candidates to support its aims, but we should neglect doing so no longer. Members and friends of our , I organisation are numerous enough in every county to solicit from candidates a public declaration in favour of the establishment of a National Civil Service. Apart from the good which must result from the making of an Irish education an essential qualification for public appointments, there are unmistakable signs that the establishment of a National Civil Service is most necessary. The branches will not, we hope, again shirk the duty of soliciting pledges in support of this reform. The condition of public education demands all the attention that can be given it. The inspectors of the National Board are doing everything possible to make the teaching of Irish unremunerative for the teachers, and inexpensive for the Board. Some of them, we are informed, have lately been guilty of the grossest insolence twhile discharging their duties. We have been told of a senior inspector who during the Easter examinations for training scholarships, referred in the presence of those he was examining, to their "d-n western accent" We have heard that the gentleman is a foreigner, and we hope for the honour of our countrymen that he is not one of us. Mr. Mansfield's references at the Teachers' Congress to Gaelic League aims, although he is a friend of the League and a good Irishman, indicate that the care of the Irish language cannot be safely left to the teachers. If a teacher is unable to teach mathematics or English, he is justly described as "incompetent"; if the Gaelic League urges that Irish should be taught in a school where mathematics and English must be taught, its action is described by the teachers as " tyranny." When it is a question of saving the Irish language there should be no talk of tyranny or injustice. To inquire into the condition of Irish in the schools, to advertise the Irish Colleges, to urge on parents their duty in regard to the proper education of their children, to see that Irish is put on the school programmes at the beginning of· July,

THE Oireachtas Committee have decided to introduce into this year's <festival some innovations that will widen its public appeal, make · it more useful, and give it the possibilities of success, if they do not actually make success a certainty. The Rotunda, and the Rotunda Gardens and Rink have been engaged. A Pageant on a large scale is one of the new features. It will be held in the Gardens and will he given on four evenings during the week. The Rink building has been engaged for the Exhibition, which will include an Art section, ' and an exhibit of ladies' costumes made . in Ireland. A special Committee has been formed to organise the costume section. It is hoped that the exhibits will include costumes in modern fashions made by expert hands from Irish material. . The Art section . will be organised by the ladies of Craobh na gCuig gCuigi. The general sections of the Exhibition will be larger and more numerous than at any previous Oireachtas. The spacious Rink in the Rotunda Gardens will enable the Committee to give suitable accommodation to every exhibitor and to make the special sections more attractive than they have ever before been. Irish singing, which is now coming to its own, will be heard at a special concert at which only Gaelic and Celtic singers will be given a place on the programme. The prize plays will not be staged this year, · but " Seaghan na Sguab," "An Tincear agus an tSidheog,'' and a play by Maire Ni Chinneide, are in rehearsal and will be produced by special companies of actors during Oireachtas week. The Committee has set the players to work in time. Long traming should enable them to give us good acting which will do more than the highest awards to encourage dramatic writing. The dancing, recitation, and some other competitions will be held, if possible, in the open, and the whole organisation of the festival will aim at making it educative for the still large unconverted public. The Pageant, which will represent a Feis at Tara, will appeal more than any other section to the general public. The special sections of the Exhibition will ensure its attractiveness. The plays and the special concert will, we promise, be worth attending. The audiences at Oireachtas plays are worth considering. They are always patient with young actors, generous in their applause, and they seldom fail to do their part in assisting and encouraging the . Irish stage. Our actors must never in future fall below a tolerable standard. We cannot command writers of genius, or determine what their work is to be, but we can easily secure good acting of Irish p�ays, and this the players are determined· to give us.

A Word of Encouragement. Our Irish writers, both the young and the accomplished, regard criticism, in English, of their work with indifference, or look on it as an impertinence. I would seem then, that such criticism must always be useless.

T�e disadvantages attached to Irish, the inducements of-f�red by .English are already �uffic1ently &7e�t without further handicapping literary . pafriot.ism by a_ frivolo�s and pedantic Write in Enghsh and you imhyp�r-cnbc1sm.. mediately qualify as an intellectual tin god you :are ��iled a.s an Irish Ibsen by the "Art for' Art's sake votaries, your plays arc hawked all over AnzloSaxondom, fr?JP.- C?'nada to New Zealand, you �ay even get a C1v1l List Pension, you may, in a word, become a Bernard Shaw, a W. B. Yeats, or a Padraic �m. �� But write in Irish and wnat do you get ? ....AngloSaxondom does�'t know you exist; the great empire which monop_ohses the sunshine is utterly closed to you; the Insh papers, yea, even the Irish-Ireland papers do not give you a tithe of the notice they give to the Ibsens aforesaid, and the critics' microscope is ever on the watch to see whether you insert an aspiration mark in the wrong place. "Conall Cearnach" need not, I think be much afraid of Irish becoming· like Welsh. Good �r bad Welsh is still broadly the language of the people of Wales· the language of their literature and theology, to � great extent also the language of their politics and social life.. It is vigorous, full-blooded, as strong to-day as rt was a thousand years ago. It is not only the language of the Welsh people at home but the language of their colonies from Canada to Patagonia. Maybe the language spoken to-day is not as pure as that of the Mabinogion. But it is Welsh all the same .and not English, just as" Do th6g an posadh a.it inde,·1 �ould be Irish and not English, no matter how much it might offend the critics. ; . While the Welsh are developing their language and literature we in Ireland are wasting time .over" Dean ta i nEirinn," and its like, and our young men who feel �hey can write are developing an Anglo-Irish literature m the Abbey Theatre and its sisters of Cork and Belfast, Our press is filled with turgid imitations of the Hanusworth and Pearson style of journalism and the critics Ba:Y nothing. Very little fear indeed that our papers �11 follow the Welsh example, and print corrupt Irish. We may make ourselves quite at ease on that score. If Irish were in the position of Welsh, if it were the spoken language of Ireland or the greater part of it, then criticism would be quite in place. But ;when · most of those who write Irish had to learn it just as they would French or German, it is hard that ithey should be criticised as if they were writing in their mother tongue. No one likes to be held up to ridicule as an ignoramus. And you cannot frighten the unfortunate into writing good Irish when he does not.know it, you can only bully him into using English. The choice.' after all is not between good Irish· and bad Irish, it is _between any Irish you can get and English.

A Merry Pioneer Leaves London. �The London Gaelic League, which, by the way, is very vigorous and vital this year, has just lost its most genial and popular personality, Art O Caoimh, who has been transferred to Chorcaigh. Art. was an " old institution," ever young and lively in spirit. He had been a worker in the London League from the start ; he was a buoyant pioneer when Fionan Mac Coluim was Runaire; he was still more buovant when Seaghan O Cathain took up the running; even when he himself bore the secretarial burden he remained merry, and in later years, when nearly all the pioneers of the early days had gone home, he was, if He taught, anything, more blithesome than ever. sang, danced, and organised in every quarter of the Irish world in London, and his good humour, though it could not figure on a balance sheet, was one of the League's most valuable assets. Everybody knew and esteemed him in a sunny-hearted way. Mr. F. A. Fahy said at the crowded farewell ceilidhe in Furnivall Street on Friday evening, that all the cailini "loved Art for Art's sake." The Gaels of Corcaighe, whither he went on Saturday, are to be congratulated.

The LanguageFund.

• The Cisteoir's list published this week shows sums of £12 each from Droichead na Banndan and Tulach Mhor, and £10 each from Coiste Ceanntair Neidineach and Gorth an Choirce ; Dun Monmhuighe has sent £7 7s., and Lios na gCearrbhach, Rath Foircheallain, and Craobh Oisin, Manchester, have sent £5 each. Sean Mac Enri, Financial Organiser of the Gaelic League, spoke last week before a Conference of the Catholic clergy of the Diocese of Killala, at which the most Rev. Dr. Conmy presided. As a result of the appeal, the Conference decided to make parish collections for the Language Fund in the month of May. The total amount realised will be sent to Ciste na Teangan in the name of the diocese. A committee to take charge of the collection has been formed. The Right Rev. Mgr. O'Hara is chairman, the Very Rev. J. J. Kelly is treasurer, and the Rev. M. J. Monnelly is secretary. The Bishop and Clergy of Killala have frequently given valuable assistance to the Gaelic League, but it would be difficult to give a better proof of their sincerity and patriotism than this latest decision of theirs to help the Language Fund.

paper proclairn sufficiently the worn-out commonplaceness of the American mind, but the genius of Shelley would be frozen to death in such an atmosphere. French Canada alone, I say, has the perspective of a literary efflorescence." I think my English friends did not take me quite seriously, .although they could not find any I had not ready answer to my arguments. yet found any one sympathetic with the French. It is the misfortune of travellers when they go abroad to meet only compatriots whose opinions and ideas they already know thoroughly, but I, however, had a stroke of good luck. Just before my departure I met a Canadian who told me of the problems the French nation had to solve. In return I spoke to him of the Gaelic revival and promised to write him an account of it. In this article my pen has strayed among the general principles of the language revival and I have not been able to give the details of our struggle to re-establish our language. In my next article I shall show the measures we have taken to raise it in public esteem, to get it taught in the schools. Quite in the last few months, the University for the first tirne has done for it an important work. M. MOORE.

IRISH-MADE DISTEMPER. A notable success was achieved in South Africa by an Irish firm, Messrs. D. Anderson & Son, Ltd., Belfast, whose well-known "A.W.P." Distemper was specified for the great triumphal arches erected in Cape Town in connection with the opening of the South African This is an achievement of which any Parliament. firm might feel proud. It speaks highly for the merits of" A.\:V.P." that it should have been selected for work where obviously the question of appearance and durability would outweigh any other consideration. Both at home and abroad this distemper has been meeting with increasing success, and this year particularly, the home demand has been very large orders pouring in from all parts of the country. Its complete adaptability, tasteful appearance, healthfulness and great durability, together with the magnificent range of colours in which it is made, are arguments that carry considerable weight, and it is not surprsing that the demand is growing rapidly. This Irish-made Distemper threatens to become one of the most popular materials for decoration purposes.

Craobh specially summoned, a Statement of amount collected by members d�1ring Se2;chtmhain. na Gaedhilge, and lodged to credit of Collection Committee, This amount included a sum of £20 10s. 6d. collected by Dr. Nicolls, a Vice-President of the C_raobh. This he believed was one of the largest collections made by any jndivid�al member of the League, and was specially noteworthy in such a sparsely populated and poor district such as theirs. The following resolution subsequently proposed by the Cisteoir was unanimously. adopted :-" That t!1e Branch tender to Mr. A. J. :N1colls, B.A., LL.D., its grateful acknowledgment of his exertions and of the Jabour he underwent to make such a splendid collection for the language movement in their district, and in th us enabling them to send forward so handsome a contribution to the Fund." Irish classes, under Mr. Shortall, with conversation were resumed last week. Choral class under Mr. Rogan on Wednesday nights.

He spoke on the advantages of bilingual education, and on the necessity of speaking Irish in the homes. The following resolution was unanimously passed at the meeting:" That we express our satisfaction at the progress of the Bilingual Programme in the Cullin Boys' School, and that we, the parents of the pupils, pledge ourselves to support the efforts of the teachers by speaking the Irish language in our homes."

and a new Craobh was formed, a large number joined.

I saw a table revolving bookcase in the Kilkenny Woodworkers' Dublin shop the other day that quite took my fancy. It makes a very acceptable present, without being too expensive.

Public meetings have also been held at Chester, Bury, Stockport, and Branches formed, while arrangements are made to hold meetings at St. Helens, Wigan, and Preston . In Newcastle-on-Tyne a special collection committee is working. Tomas Mac Niocaill, a Gaedheal of Albain, is doing everything possible to get the Irishmen of the Tyneside to give the Language movement the support it deserves. In Barrow-in-Furness, Sean Mac Ruaidhri is making a special effort: while An Doctuir O Ceallachan and Eamonn de Cuirteis are leaving no stone unturned in Sheffield to ensure success. A' small body of earnest workers are assisting in Chester. In Manchester the Oisin, O'Growney, and Father Anderson branches decided to institute a personal canvass instead of a box collection, wherever possible, although the work is a bit slow, a good deal more will be realised. His Lordship, Dr. Cassartelli, Bishop of Salford, was one of the first to contribute to the Language Fund in Manchester. The newly formed Coisde Ceanntair is superintending the collection in Manchester, Salford, Stockport, Bury, Oldham, Blackburn, Eccles, Warrington, Accrington, Burnley, Hyde and Preston districts. Mr. M. P. 0 Riain is Uachdaran, and Mr. S.O hOgain, late of Tuam, is the Runaire.

DEAR SIRS, To-day I had a long bicycle ride in a drenching rain, with half a . gale of wind right ahead of me all the way, and without having had any food on the Journey. On a previous occasion when I made the same run, under favourable conditions of wind and weather, I always felt completely done up ; but f<:>r the first time in my cycling experience of a long run, I felt to-day as fresh and vigorous as when I set out. I attribute my splendid form to a couple of glasses of your " SED NA '' which I drank before starting. I had never tried it before, but have tasted everything from lemonade to my favourite "J.J.," and none of them have given anything approaching the staying power which I received from " Sedna."

GIVE US LITERATURE.

I do not quite see why, as j,'OU say, �ur Irish writers should regard criticism in English with indifference, or as an impertinence. any more than Anglo-Irish writers should so .r�g�rd criticism in Irish, or English writers criticism in French. If criticisrn is competent, honest, penetrative, suggestive, it is valuable in any language. 1\-Iy own experience in �he matter is not so bad as yours. I have written some criticism of Irish work in Irish, and in the last ten years many columns of criticism of Irish work in English, generally erring, if anythin�, on the side of appreciation. I know that in several cases the Irish wri ters were grateful for what I wrote, not because I appreciated their work, but just because it is pleasant. to feel that one's thoughts and confidences strike a responsive chord in a kindred human spirit, and pleasant also to think tha1: between us, creators and critics, we are making some sort of a stir in Ireland, When any Irish book of any vitality appears I'd like to have the country ringing with it, vehemently in earnest in the discussion of it, and would be glad to find the vehemence expressing itself not alone in �ri�h, but in English, and even in the queer varieties of English that are spoken i11 some Irish places. I agree with '' Ros Failghe." We wa11:t a hundred times more Irish than we are getting. Let us have it; good, bad, middling, indifferent. Let those who have anything to say in Irish try their best; let those who are not perfect learn to write Irish in the way that Parnell learned the rules of the Westminster Parliament, by breaking them. But, by the way, who is perfect ? How many write really good Irish ? (Or good English for that matter ?) Good Irish ought to mean something worthy in matter as well as manner, but very often we find that when the work is grammatically and idiomatically faultless, or nearly so, there is not very much in it. The writers too often do not try to put anything particular i�to their work ; they are concerned more with form than substance. We want thoughts and ideas, if Irish is to live well expressed if possible; tolerably, even haltingly expressed if the writers can do no better for the time. But let us keep doing and doing any way. It is very quaint to imagine that a few grammatical mistakes on doubtful idioms are likely to ruin the Irish language. By the way, of course, not a few things in the Gaedhilg (as in other languages) now generally or universally taken as correct are really popular corruptions that in the cours.e of time came to be accepted. We are too fair-and-easy, too humdrum at present. A writer in the May number of '' An t-Eireannach '' (London Gaelic League}, says: '' Maidir le litridheacht Ghaedhilge, cuireann si i gcuimhne dham seanasal � bhothar fa'n dtuaidh ; ag dul go mall, reidh ar a shastacht, agus an tiomanaidhe 'na chodladh, an fear bocht." That writer is not far wrong. I wish that Coiste na gClodhann would rouse itself and grow a trifle revolutionary. The League generally wants shaking up over books, and thoughts and literature. It is getting sleepy in their regard. One would be more animated over cabbage stalks. The Ireland of to-day has thought, and character, and colour and irony enough for a library of literature. Some of it is well, perhaps, too interesting for publication. But there is quite a deal of it that might be all?':'ed to see the light, and would wake really living and invigorating boolzs. Mise, do chara, SLI •.\BH BLADH11.\.

More power to you, Ros Failghe. If the people who want to speak and write Irish take the purist and critics very seriously, they ,v ill make a big mistake, and one that the purists and critics themselves are not likely to make. If they never open their mouths to speak Irish or lift their pens to write it till they are wordperfect, they will never either speak or write it, and the learning of Irish will become a horror and a nightmare. My advice to them is, '' Leather away." Speak Irish as best you can, but speak it, and don't even boggle over the '' best you can." Many a one has got a broken head through watching too carefully where he put his feet. Leather away. Don't even stick for the vocabulary. If you have some technical or unusual thing to express, and that you have not the right Irish word and have the English word, ram the English word in without compunction. There is another of our numerous varieties of critics who are fond of saying that we talk Irish on special occasions, when Irish is on parade, but English when we want to talk in earnest. That is true, but the reason is that we are so cowed by pedants and grammarians that we are afraid 01· ashamed to speak inferior Irish, and it is too great a strain to be picking our steps trying to use good Irish in discussing subjects that have not been familiarized to discussion in I rish. If we thought we had leave to talk as we liked, there would be no strain. Let us take leave. If Irish speakers acted on these principles there would be ten times more Irish spoken, and that would be better· than anything the critics are likely to achieve for us. I used to see a pound subscribed in every Irish language subscription list by somebody who was content to sign himself '' Solvitur loquendo." I never saw a farthing subscribed by '' Solvitur censendo." The censor advertises himself in a different way. I would not be for muzzling the censor. Let him, too, leather away. He is right an odd time, and may do some good. But don't let him intimidate anybody. God grant we may see the day when everybody in Ireland that can't talk Irish will be trying to talk it. Then we will have lashings of bad Irish. and the country will be a paradise for the critics. Just think of the generations of bad English that have gone to establish our conquest by the Englisl1 language, and at the end o� it all, �he critics of bad Irish are able to write English that we all must envy. bts,,11,\1n11 ..\11 co1i1.01r1te ce.1'0n.o.

the fund from now on (provided always, of course, that if some Carnegie begins flooding the fund with sovereigns, they can withdraw their offer). This ought to make sympathisers give generously, as every penny they put in, is, as it were, two pence." The London League is also arranging special and attractive summer classes, while the popular seilgi will be educative as well as entertaining in genuinely Irish style and spirit. By way of a further link with Eire the editor of the League's monthly organ, " An t-Eireannach," asks returned London Gaels to send him notes in Irish or English on home happenings and developments in which they are concerned. The notes can be sent to him at the Gaelic League Office, 77. Fleet Street, London, E.C., and if received by the zoth of any month, will be in time for the succeeding issue. Their views on AN CLAIDHEAMH's ideal of the Feiseanna would be particularly welcome for the June number.

Also present :-1\Ionsignor O'Dohcrt.y, P.P., V.F., Omagh; Rev. P. Magill, P.P., Coleraine ; Rev. M. O'Mullan, C.C., Claudy ; Rev. ] . O'Dohcrty, C.C., Derry; Miss MacNeill , Cushendun ; Miss Gough, Coleraine; Miss A. O'Doherty, XT., \Vatersick, Derry; Miss M. O'Dohertny and Miss S.

Magill, "Derry People," and P. 0 Ceallaigh, Secretary, Coalisland. Apologies for non-attendance were received from Miss O'Farrelly, Miss Barry, Monaghan ; Rev. J. Quin, C.C., Dundalk; Miss Alice Milligan, Miss McDonnell, Newry; Rev. J. Mc Kenna, C.C., Park ; Rev. B. Maguire, C.C., Ballybay ; Mr. Carl Hardebeck, Mr. Louis Smyth, Magherafelt; Mr. O'Doherty, N.T., Burtonport; Mr. A. O'Doherty, N.T., Annagry; Rev. H. Tohall, C.C., Dundalk ; Mr. F. O'Du11y, Monaghan ; Rev. P. McEvoy, C.C., Lurgan ; F. _I. Bigger, Miss Dobbs, Glenariff ; Rev. R. Fullerton, C.C., Belfast; Rev. A. Campbell, C.C.� Malin, wrote expressing heartiest good wishes for the success of the Dail.and enlcosing £1 as subscription. Miss Milligan wrot c regarding a proposed Feis or entertainment for the benefit of the Irish speakers at the coming hiring fair at Omagh. After some discussion in which Monsignor O 'Doherty, Mr. O'Duffy and Mr. O'Nolan gave their views, it was decided that more good might result if Miss Milligan would assist in the organising of the North and Mid. The Secretary was Tyrone Irish-speaking districts. instructed to write and request her assistance in this work. The Annual Report was then read by the Secretary. It was considered satisfactory, and its publication was ordered in the College Prospectus and in the A Statement of press where it will appear later. Accounts prepared and audited by Messrs. W. ] . Hanna & Co., Chartered Accountants, Belfast, was submitted, showing a good balance at Bank at 31st March. The Treasurer explained that this balance would be required to meet the expenses of publication work at present in hands and including the following books :-Cloch Ceannfhaolaidh (new and'enlarged edition S. 0 Searcaigh) ; Eachtra Aodha Ruaidh (P. T. McGinley) ; Bruidhean Chaorthainn (Ulster version, by H. Morris) ; and a large volume of Ulster poetry Warm thanks were tendered to those (H. Morris). who had contributed to the funds of the Dail, especially to the priests of Ulster who had most generous] y the collections held at the various supported diocesan retreats during last year, and to the ladies who had organised a very successful Aonach in Belfast. The financial statement was passed. Mr. O'Duffy gave an account of the work being done for the organisation of the Irish-speaking districts of Glenally, Gartin, and Greencastle, where an Insh teacher is already at work, and where the people are taking up the movement with a whole-hearted enthusiasm that gives high promise of success. He considered that with a fair amount of attention this locality should in a very short .time become as Irish as Cloghaneely. A discussion on the Clar for the approaching session at Colaisde Cholmcille took place and some slight changes were made. The following is the programme of texts as final] y arranged :-Junior Class, (1) Modh Direach, Pt. Il., (Ulster edition) ; (2) Greann na Gaedhilge, Pt. VJ. Middle Class, Modh Direach, Pt. III ; (2) An Cruinnealoidhe ; (3) Half of Donnbo. Senior Class, (I) Cloch Cheannfhaolaidh ; (2) Amhrain Sheaghain Ui Neachtain; (3) Bruidhean Chaorthainn (Dail Uladh edition). A motion by Miss O'Farrelly to amend the constitution of the College Committee so as to make it more representative was discussed at some length. It was finally decided to add to it one representative of the students attending the College and one of the· certificate holders. The constitution of Dail Uladh was revised and some slight alterations made. A proposal from Craobh Cholmcille, Doire, was put forward by Mr. ] . K. O'Doherty its object being the unification of the work of the Ulster branches affiliated with Dail Uladh and the grading and co-ordinating of the study of Irish in Ulster generally. The main features of the scheme are a uniform prozrarnme ()f work and texts to be drawn up by he Dail for 1}1,:: ( winter work of the branches, a system of examinations at the end of the session, the awardinz of cert-ficates to those students attaining to the variou� degrees of proficiency prescribed, and the utilisation of those teachers who have been trained at Cloghanecly to assist those who are unable to attend the College. The proposal was seconded by Father ()'Doherty and passed unanimously. ' A resolution urging the Gaelic League to appoint another. (?rganiser for lJls!er was passed unanimously. An additional grant of £., was, on the application of Miss Gough, voted to the Rathlin Fund. The election J of officers was then proceeded with. On the morion of Father O'Mullan, seconded by Mr. O'Duffy, rather Matt. Maguire was unanimously re-appointed President of Dail Uladh ; the former Vice-Presidents were re-appointed ; Miss Mac Neill was re-elected Treasurer, and Mr. O'Kelly, Secretary, and the county and district representatives chosen. A vote of thanks to the Proprietor of the Criterion for kindly giving the use of the room for the meetin.r, was passed unanimously. //'

IRISH NATIONALITY.

: A RACE, like an individual member of it is The compelling susceptible to vagrancy. causes m both cases are often similar. Ignorance, poverty, and the loss of character which often follows social ostracism, drive men outside the. ranks of their independent fellows, and de:pnve them of all ambition, and of pride of family ?r race. A nation deprived of its land, f?r�1dde� the exercise of the political and religious nghts that are dear to it and subjected to. the rigour of laws that prohibit the use of 1 ts . la�guage, the conducting of schools, the cultivation of arts, and the practice of industry, stands in danger of being driven on to the highways of the world. Mrs. Green in the review of Irish history which she has given us in a small volume, entitled "Irish Nationality," sees one purpose running through the history of Ireland for the seven centuries succeeding the English invasion, viz., the determination of the English to make vagrants of the Irish people. The greatest marvel of our history is the endurance of the race. The land was taken gradually until only one-fiftieth of Ireland was left in possession of the Gaels. They were forbidden to live within towns. The Brehon law which gave justice to all men, and which all men obeyed, was abolished. "Chiefs were made to draw and carry, to abase them from their tribes. Poets and historians were slaughtered and their books and genealogies burned, so that no man might know his own grandfather, and all Irishmen confounded in the same ignorance and abasement, all glories gone, and all rights lost. The great object of the government was to destroy the whole tradition, wipe out the Gaelic memories and begin a new English life." Half the population was wiped out in the seventeenth century, industries were systematically destroyed, and religion was made the excuse for laws that gave sanction to the destruction of property, life and civilisation. Yet the Irish did not go. They refused to forget their history or to give up their language, and it is to show how faithful our fathers had been to their racial and national heritage that Mrs. Green has written this excellent book. In the preface to another book she wrote :-" In no other country in the world has it been supposed the historians' business to seek out every -element of political instability, every trace of private disorder, every act of personal violence, every foreign slander, and out of these alone, neglecting all indications of industry or virtue, to depict a national life." Mrs. Green employs a different method. In this small volume she had space only to review our history, and she uses such an abundance of facts to illustrate her case that her work is more informing than many formal histories of greater size. Her purpose in all that she writes about Ireland is to recall to the �en and women of to-day the memory of the industry, the learning, the culture, and the achievements of people of Ireland back to the To forget that beginnings of our history. history would involve the loss of our nationality, and Ireland's greatest danger to-day is that her people stand largely indifferent to nationality. Mrs. Green refers to the Gaelic League as the greatest educator of the people since Thomas Davis. Her book, if used in every Gaelic

League class, will help us more than any other book in English to give the people the noble purpose of recreating a Gaelic nation. It will make us eager to know of the good men and women of every age who helped by their industry and genius and their passionate patriotism to make Ireland and the world the richer for their presence. The knowledge that Irishmen of learning continually aimed at making culture democratic and national, will give us of the Gaelic League who are snatching the remains of the Irish language and literature from the lips of the men of the fields and the seashore, courage to go on with our work. To read of the vitality of Gaelic civilisation, which Mrs. Green emphasises in almost every chapter, will give us reason to hope that it is not beyond redemption. There was a great Gaelic revival after the Danish wars. "By their social system the intellectual treasures of the race had been distributed among the whole people, and committed to their care. And the Irish tribes had proved worthy They had guardians of the national faith. known how to profit by the material skill and knowledge of the Danes. . . . In outward and material civilisation they accepted the latest Scandanavian methods. . . . But in what the Germans called culture-in the ordering of society and law, of life and thought, the Irish never abandoned their national loyalty.'' Another revival followed the invasion of the ,, The cause of the revival lay in Normans. the rich national civilisation which the Irish genius had built up, strong in its courageous democracy, in its broad sympathies, in its widespread culture, in its freedom, and in its humanities. So long as the Irish language preserved to the people their old culture, they 'never failed to absorb into their life every people that came among them." We are in the midst of another revival to-day and success must depend on the extent to which we can give national consciousness to those of our people who are strangers to the Gaelic tradition. The Dane and the Gael united after generations of war and enmity. The Normans failed in their loyalty to the land from which they came to Ireland. " The most ferocious laws could not wholly destroy the kindly influences of Ireland," and the new race became as Gaelic as the old. A Desmond who was afterwards beheaded, set up a school for all Ireland at Droichead Atha. Half the famous library of Kildare was composed of Irish books. The use of Irish became universal. Both peoples used translations into Irish of Latin books. Irish invaded the Parliament of the Pale. Why should we despair of uniting the people of twentiethcentury Ireland in a brotherhood of patriotism to give their nation industry and culture, and the strength that comes from the pursuit of a common national purpose? It is inevitable that all who live in Ireland, and are of her, love her, but their ignorance of her history leaves them unprepared unitedly to work for her advancement. The members of each creed, of each class, of each profession, of each trade, think alike, and frequently take common action, but those who think for Ireland and work for her are too few. To most men of this generation their country's past is almost unknown. Our fathers and,grandfathers who spoke Irish had in their language a treasury of history and literature. English is not a language that enshrines a democratic culture, and in Ireland it has been employed to root out culture, and the memory of a heroic past which " An Irish nation of a double race will not fear to look back on." English keeps us divided. English civilisation leaves both races without any bond to unite them to each other, or to the land they own. " The tradition of a national life created by the Irish has ever been a link of fellowship between classes, races, and religions.'' Bishop Bedell was a lover of the

Irish .language , In the war of 1641 his person and property were protected by the Irish and when he died chieftains of the Gael fired volleys in homage, over his grave. ' This book is n�t � formal history, but it recalls an array of incidents and facts on which every reader should ponder. The account and defence of the Irish conception of a state surpasses everything that has been written on the same subject. "The forces of union [in Gaelic Irela;1d] were not material but spiritual, and the h�e of the P.eo�le c.o�sisted_ 1:ot in �ts military cohesion, but in its joint spiritual inheritance -in the union of those who shared, the same tradition, the sall?-e glorious memory of heroes, the same unquestioned law and the same pride of literature." We read of the "large statesmanship, the lofty genius," of Columcille and of his "passionate and poetic temperament that filled men with awe and reverence." He was never idle and he copied with his hand 300 books. Columbanus who was scornful of ease and indifferent to danger was " a stern ascetic aflame with religious passion, a fine scholar;" wh� brought from Ireland "a knowledge of Latin, Greek, and Hebrew, of rhetoric, geometry, and poetry, and a fine taste. '' Duns Scotus won European fame. Irish artists have never been surpassed in certain kinds of work. Irish metal and stone :-"ork�rs have le!t enduring monuments to their skill and genius. Irish demanded sacrifices in every genera�atriotisll?tion. Bnan, when he had destroyed the military power of the Danes, sent scholars oversea to purchase books for his schools. The exiled Franciscans resolved that " the memory of the glorious deeds of their ancestors should not be consigned to the same earth that covered the bodies of her children." O'Flaherty who was a banished man within the bounds of his patrimony, still wrote of the glories of his country. Keating wrote his history when " on his keeping." The early " Wild Geese " whose "capacity and courage " brought them to grief, rose to positions of power and honour in every European state. " We may ask whether in the history of the world there was cast _out of any country �uch genius, learning ?'nd industry, as the English flung, as it were, m to the sea." The writer's hopeful and courageous spirit is as admirable as her wonderful method. Irish nationality is not for her a thing of the dead past. "It lives in the hearts of men who see in Ireland a ground made sacred by the rare intensity of human life over every inch of it, one of the richest possessions that has ever been bequeathed by the people of any land whatever to the successors and inheritors of their name."

The Government Boards of this country in spite of whose concern for us we manage to live, were devised by a number of observant rulers for the purpose of entertaining one section of our people and of distracting the attention of another from things which it might not be well for �ts members to contemplate. The latter spend much time and energy in periodical attacks on the different public departments.

returns to mislead the public regarding Irish revenue. Taxes raised in Ireland are credited to England, so that Irish expenditure may be made to appear on a level or in excess of Irish revenue. " An Irishman " has set himself the task of showing how the Treasury trick is done. He examines Treasury methods without any regard to Party, for, as he says, the financial question " should be alone and beyond The rights of Ireland the plane of Party politics." and the means and methods employed by the Treasury should be familiar to every Irish taxpayer. Ignorance on our part gives the Treasury an entirely free hand " An Irishman " has gone carefully in fleecing us. He has detected in.to its system of book-keeping. several false entries: many omissions, and there are a host of unexplained items. . Professor Kettle's book is frankly political, but that It is combative, controversial, and is not a fault. Lord MacDonnell stated in his fact-abounding. Belfast speech that the amount of Ireland's overtaxation-£325,000,000-was more than an Empire's To the drain of capital from Ireland which ransom. this overtaxation involved, Professor Kettle attributes Our interest our present industrial backwardness. in the reform of education and in national developm�nt should lead us to a study of Irish wealth and Ir!sh reveI?-ue. _No one who desires to be acquainted with 12ubh_c affairs can neglect the obvious duty of bccommg mforme� on the workings of the Treasury, a department which concerns itself so much in our business. The three publications we have mentioned are by Irishmen, and they have the additional merit of being printed in this country.

" FUAIR SE AMA CH.''

..._

The other day a book came into my hands in which I find the expression fuair se amach (he found out) singled out as an example of "barbarous Irish," which the student was A little historical light on warned to avoid. this "barbarism" may be useful in guiding the said student. Here are a few instances to begin with:(1) As far back as 1639 Father Theobald Stapleton published his well-known Latin-Irish catechism at Brussels. On page 72 of that work I note the f olowing :-" ar an adhbhar gur chuige do frith a mack na mionna, chum chreidimh na ndaoine dho bheith firineach, dearbhtho dha cheile," which runs in the Latin:-" quia iuramentum ad infirmam hominum fidem adiuuandum inuentum est." (2) In 1650 Dubhaltach Mac Firbhisigh compiled his Leabhar Geinealach in Galway. On page 853 of O'Curry's (R.I.A.) transcript of this monumental work, MacFirbis gives direction as to how the index which accompanies his book is to be used, and inter alia he says :" Feuch ar an fhioghair freagras don rann isin leabhar ina ffuil craobhsgaoileadh an chip-sin, agus ma ta an slonnadh chuige, ni cas a fhaghail amacb amhluidh sin." (3) In the Old Testament, rendered into Irish before 1641, the same barbarism occurs about a dozen times ; e.g., " biodh a dhearbh aguibh go bhfuighidh bhur bpeacuidh amach sibh," Num. xxxii., 23. Other instances will be found in Eccles. iii. r r, vii. 27, viii. 17 ; Job, ix. ro, xi. 7, xxxvii. 23 ; Ps. xxi. 8. (4) In 1676 Molloy writes in his L6chrann na Gcreidmheach, p. 326 :-" go bhfaghaim an Another mheud a ta uaim go follas a mack." instance will be found on p. 256 :-" no gur fritheadh ... a mach." (5) A criticism of Keating's Foras Feasa, written about the year 1698, by a grandson of Lughaidh O Cleirigh, is entitled by its author : '' Earraide fuair na primheolaighe amach san stair so Dochtuir Ceitin." And later on in the

same text the phrase " da fhaghail amach " occurs. (6) About the same time Sean O Neachtuin is found frequently employing this barbarism. For instance, he writes "ge nach bhfuair (se) amach e " in his Stair 'Eamuinn U f C hleirigh ; while in his Gleacuidhe Geaglonnach one sees " ma gheibh tu amach e," " agus a fhaghail amach," " go bhfaghmaoid amach e." (7) In some tales translated from the Spanish and extant in a MS. of r706, the expression I content occurs about half-a-dozen times. myself with quoting one instance :-" chum nach bhfuighthidhe fios amacb orra choidhche." (8) Filip Mac Bradaigh uses the idiom in the sermon which he rendered into Irish and which was printed in 1711 :-" chum a bheith faghail a mack agus a lochtadh na ndaoine eile" (p. 49). Similarly we have " gheabhum a mach " on p. 102 of the same volume. (9) In a historical poem which he wrote in 1726, Tadhg O Neachtuin, the lexicographer, twice uses the expression " fridhe amach " ia the sense of "it was discovered" (H. 4, 20, p. 209.) (10) In 1732 0 Beaglaoich and Mac Cruitin recognise the phrase in their English- Irish Dictionary (s.vv., "discover," "find," "invent "), published in Paris in that year. (11) A few years later, in 1736, we find Bishop Gallagher using it in his Sermons:-'' ma gheibh tu a mack go raibh do bheatha go hole " (ed. 1752, p. 169). (12) Six years later still, Donlevy, an avowed purist, employs it in his Teagasg Criosduighe, published in Paris in 1742 :-" do chum tola De d' faghail a mach (p. 338). Other instances will be found on pp. 342, 468 of the same work. I will stop here, lest by piling on further references, I should impose too severe a strain on the Editor's or my readers' patience. The last example above, which is the latest in point of time, is just 169 years old. The instances I have given do not, I need hardly say, pretend to be exhaustive of the period they cover; indeed I have restricted my choice by confining

A COMPETITION FOR ALL, AND A SILVER MEDAL FOR THE WINNER. I am sure every member, old and young, of " Eire Og " knows that An t.Athair Micheal O Flannazain and Fionan Mac Coluim are at present ir'i' America as· the Delegates of the Gaelic League, working to make the home movement known to our kinsmen in the United States, to establish the League there, and to obtain the financial support and co-operation of the exiles for the language fight here at home. Well, for months past the Delegates been writing home week after week asking have us' here to send them the names and addr =ses of friends and relatives in the States, so that they may interview them or write to them, and strive to interest them in the struggly that is being carried on here between the Demon of Anglicisation and the forces of Irish Ireland -the battle for the soul of a nation that we are fighting day by day. WHERE THE COMPETITION COMES IN. This appeal of the Delegates for names and addresses of Irish people in the States has suggested to one of our Southern members, Tadhg Ua Duinnin, of Sliabh Riabhach, Baile Mhuirne, the idea that " Eire Og " could assist the American Delegates to a very great extent. and the idea is put forward by him in the letter given above, which some of our new members, only a short time learning the language, may not be able to follow. Tadhg suggests that I should offer a handsome prize-a Silver Medal, for instance-for the largest number of names and addresses of Irish people in the United States, sent to me by any one member before the Oireachtas. I am grateful to Tadhg for his splendid suggestion, and I have pleasure in offering a SILVER MEDAL for the largest number of such names and addresses sent to me BEFORE AUGUST rst. Each member can work in his or her own locality, and strive to find out from friends and neighbours the names and addresses of relative in the United States. If several lists are sent in I shall award a Second Prize and a Third Prize. So set to work at once. You have a splendid opportunity of helping th.e Irish language movement, of helping the Irish exiles, and of winning a prize into the bargain. c,0.01 tee 11,0. n.0-1111, 01r15 ,0.11 ct-0.1u1m sotu1s, 25 Ce.6.1'1165 nuct.c.mn,

dream of his, but he was established at The Hermitage before they had time to think on the ma�ter. Xow_he has given even those who were closest m. touch �th him another surprise. He has succeeded m establishing a College Union with a starting membership of over one hundred and twenty. The Union consists of former and present students of St. Endas and St. Ita's <�,lieges, and of the teachers and professors connected with both establishments. It is men like An Piarsach who are prepared to act We all have longed for an Irish system of education, we have agitated for it, and helped, perhaps, in a small way to make it possible; but he has given himself wholly to the work of establishing a college in which education might be as Irish and as national as it is desirable it should be. He has run great risks, he has incurred enormous expense, he has had to meet difficulties of all kinds almost everyday and on every side, hut he has never flinched from his task. One of the most encouraging things of the present time is the support which has been given to both St. Ita's and St. Enda's Colleges. People who have never been closely in touch with the Gaelic League have sent him their sons and daughters to receive an Irish education, showing that the country is tired of the wretched and anti-national Intermediate system. �/' and run risks that we want in Ireland to-day.

The speakers at the banquet given in connection · with the establishment of the Union avoided the usual topics at such gatherings. They spoke of Ireland and of what the purpose of education in Ireland should be. 'V\'e know what a colourless thing eclucation in most of our schools and colleges is. The teachers of to-day have fallen .from their high estate, They willingly omit the teaching of patriotism from their programmes, and instead of giving us men of moral fibre and dauntless patriotism, they content themselves with turning sons of men into dapper or versatile West Britons, whose native talent is neglected and who know no purpose beyond securing a job in the English Civil Service. In St. Enda's one of the first purposes of education is to teach boys how to be worthy citizens--citzens of Ireland. The truths of Irish history are not watered down or hidden from them. Their masters do not forego the right and privilege of the J rish teacher from the time of Colmcille to teach their daltai that Eire is their motherland, and that there is no release from her service. Go.� saoghailidh Dia 'an Ord nua. ''

The Oireachtas. Seamus O Cathasaigh would remind writers who intend entering for the Oireachtas competitions that their manuscripts should reach him not later than June joth. He issued his annual appeal in aid of the Oireachtas Fund last week. We trust that it will meet with a generous response. The same small circle of friends who subscribe to and help to raise the La�guage Fund are asked to help the Oireachtas also. It is the most appealing event in the Gaelic League calendar_. ancl this· year we are promised a long list of surprises. The pageant is in competent hands. •' Torna " is author of the " book," and Mr. Morrow, who is manager, has long experience at such work. The plays, w�ich are in rehearsal for weeks past, will be produced m a manner that will do credit to the Gaelic League stage.

We have received the clar of the Lios Dhuin Bhearnaizh Sum.mer School. It announces that the school wilf open on August znd, and it contains particulars regarding the classes, which will be conducted by Sean O Toibin and Seamus O Suilleabhain. The fees will be only zs. 6d. a week, and the advantages of visiting Lios Dhuin Bheamaigh in August, and combining pleasure with study, are so obvious that we need not indicate them.f � m

The Language Fund.

...

In this week's list there are many contributions that deserve particular notice, but we will refer to onlY: one, that from the Cill Aime Gaelic League. It � be noticed that eight local schools have helped in the collection. It is quite evident from this that the teachers of the Cill Aime district have their hearts in the work of reviving Irish. Their teaching is not done through fear of public opinion, but through love of the language. Last year the Coiste G�otha assiste.d the Cill Aime Coiste Ceanntair financially. This year the Coiste is self-supporting, and it is able to send the Language Fund the generous contribution of £20. t_'I j llhil

'FU AIR SE AMACH:· II. But! to hark back to the ,. barbarous Irish;" here we have an authority who in effect tells us-not as a joke, mind: but in the most obtuse seriousness-that the Irish speakers and writers to sav of the Scotch Gaels} of the � nothing '' last 300 Years. are a lot of" barbarians · · who had no proper knowledge of their own language. And probably a number of gullible people will be found to take this pronzmciamento as a sober truth. instead of treating it to the Homeric laughter it deserves. The worst thing about it is that it is so typical, typical of that narrow and shallow and self-conceited pedantry which has latterly come into a certain vogue. Indeed the swarm of pedants and pedantlets that have been generated in the " Irish-Ireland" atmosphere these last few years, threatens to become a positive nuisance and a pest. It is not many months since one of the genus was warning us that the employment of the verb caiihim in the sense of " I am obliged to." was a low-down vulgarism. or something of that sort ; though the fact is that in this sense the word has a literary history of some five hundred years behind it. One of the surest antidotes to this furor pedagogicus is the cultivation of a sense of humour; pedantry and a sense of humour are irreconcilable enemies. How Englishmen would shake with laughter, were some professor to gravely assure them in excellent French that various expressions of theirs which had been in constant use in literature and speech ever since the days ofSidney or of Dryden, were mere "barbarisms," or "gallicisms," or " neologisms," which should be forthwith discarded. I have applied the test of literary usage to the popular phrase gheibhim amach, and in the result it has been more than vindicated. But it was not necessary to go so far in order to disprove that nonsense about " barbarism."· Taking facts as they are, and the Irish language as it is, the only general test of the correctness or incorrectness of any given expression is to be found in its acceptability or otherwise to those older speakers of Irish who know no English. It is only among this class, now so sadly thinned in numbers, that we may hope to find the living language still in possesson of its old richness and strength; though this is the very class whom, in our craze for "bilingualism," we have fatuously doomed toaspeedyextinction. If any particular turn of phrase comes natural to these. if they use it just as they use the thousand-and-one other expressions they have heard from their parents and grandparents before them, it is thereby entitled to a full and unqualified recognition of its literary citizenship. An Irish speaker is none the less Trish because his name instead of being a native " Milesian " one, happens to be Burke. or Ferriter, or Keating. And it is the same with words and phrases ; an expression long sanctioned by the usage of purely Irish speakers, can claim to have become Hibernior Hibernicis ipsis, even though its ultimate origin be proved ten times over to be foreign. To make agreement with the English idiom the test of the incorrectness of an Irish expression is just tantamount to saying that nobody can discriminate, or ever could have discriminated, between Irish and un-Irish idiom, without also knowing English. With the philo-antiquarian group Geoffrey Keating has become somewhat of a fetish these latter years. " Keating, the-last-masterof-Irish-prose " has been trotted out so often that unsuspecting people might well be pardoned for imagining that the art of writing Irish prose came for ever to an end on Geoffrey's death. Elsewhere, perhaps, I may have an opportunity of puncturing this little bubble. Keating, as was almost inevitable, has been styled "a well of Irish undefiled,''-a rather meaningless designation, which nobody can object to. But times and language have changed very much from what they were three centuries ago; and even if Kea.ting's language is not quite so obsolete as is " Dan Chaucer's !' in English, it is none the less impossible and objectionable as a model for writers to-day. N" o doubt Keating, with not a few of his literary predecessors, is well worthy of being studied by those of us who possess the necessary leisure and inclination. But if the country generally

IRELAND AND THE CONTINENT.

--...:�---

Professor Kuno Meyer delivered the third and last lecture of his course on Celtic Languages and Literature at University College, Gower Street, London, last month. In dealing for the most part with the work of Heinrich Zimmer and his leadership in Celtic research, he gave an interesting survey of Zimmer's studies of the early relations between Ireland and the Continent, and of the influence of the civilisation of the earliest inhabitants of Great Britain and Ireland upon their Celtic conquerors. The gigantic task which Zimmer had set before himself during the last five or six years of his life was one for which he was better equipped than any other scholar, but unfortunately, he did not get beyond some preliminary studies published in the Proceedings of the Berlin These were supplemented by Academy. papers found' after his death, which the lecturer said, he himself, intended some day to print. It was long since such important contributions on the early history of Great Britain and Ireland had appeared, for Zimmer realised, perhaps more clearly than anyone else, that in making researches into the early history of Europe the scholar must start in these islands. Zimmer, first of all, set out to deal with the trade and traffic of Ireland, Britain, and the Continent during the first thousand years of our era. Other papers followed on the influence of Gaul on the early civilisation of Ireland, and on the early migrations from Gaul and their first arrival in these islands. He showed in detail that there was trade intercourse for a long time exclusively from the Continent with Ireland, and traced the sources from the mouth of the Garonne and other French rivers, thence up the Shannon, and also up the east coast of Ireland to Scotland and across to Britain. He also referred to the passenger traffic, and how the pilgrims and the Irish missionaries followed the same route in order, and the Irish saints who went into Italy. Zimmer then carried his investigation into the first century of our era and the first century before Christ. He showed Ptolemy's authority as to Irish promontories, river mouths, etc. ; The Kilkenny Woodworkers have such a nice variety of small things in stock in their Dublin Showrooms. Some of the carved things are lovely.

how Gaulish traders had entered these rivers and had traded with Westport, Galway, Waterford and Dublin ' and he also traced numerous . estuaries and cities. Zimmer took 111 connection with this the well known passage in Tacitus where he speaks of the first intercourse to and fro between Ireland and Gaul. The sea did not then sever Ireland from the Continent, but united it. By the s de of this great Continental route there was another by the South of Great Britain, but this was rendered unsafe during almost two hundred years when the pagan Saxons controlled it, but at the end of the sixth century it was again opened up. They had an interesting document from a somewhat later time when the intercourse from the heart of Ireland to the Rhine was described. There was an account of the forwarding from Aix-laChapelle to Clonmacnoise of a jar of oil, which was then scarce in Ireland. In a further book Zimmer dealt with the wine trade carried on with Gaul and Ireland, and i11ustrated this with a large number of borrowed words in the Irish language from the Latin. He reminded them that Adamnan, in the Life of St. Columba, told them of the Gaulish ship arriving in the sixth century at Iona and bringing news of a disastrous earthquake on the Continent, and of another Gaulish vessel arriving in the Shannon at Clonmacnoise when St. Kieran was alive before 548. They brought wine and filled the huge vat belonging to the community, which the saint distributed among his monks with his blessing. Those early trade routes may be studied and still followed from the early lives of the saints, mostly in Latin and some in Irish and Welsh. Professor Meyer pointed out that Mr. George Coffey, of Dublin, in starting from a different quarter of archaeology, had arrived at very much the same conclusions as Zimmer in dealing with the origin of prehistoric ornaments of Ireland, and that in many ways Mr. Coffey had anticipated the Zimmer had also a great German scholar. series of papers on the primitive inhabitants conquered by the Briton and Gael, and in a further paper he traced the share of Gaul in the Christianisation of Ireland in the fourth and fifth centuries, which followed naturally on his paper on the trade routes.

FEIS BHAILE ATHA CLIATH. Ath Cliath,

A Chara, In two recent English leaderettes you deal with the question of the Dublin Feis, and the relations of the Annual Meeting of the Ard-Chraobh to the Feis. You cite some remarks which I made, and, therefore, I should feel grateful. if you would allow me to lay a personal explanation before your readers, and at the same time give my views on the general subject of the Feis, which is in controversy in your columns just now. You say " I strongly opposed the Secretaries ' Now, my remarks anent the Feis mostly report." consisted of an argument that it was a useful form of activity, and that it could be developed as to to knit together the League in Dublin, whilst, at the same time, serving a propagandist effect. Now, two weeks ago you assured us that the Secretaries din not advocate the abolition of the Feis. I accept this view, regretting that you found it impossible to publish their letter, which might have made their position clear. I think, however, that in that case there was no collision between my views and theirs, and I regret that you should have made it appear so. With regard to the Feis in general, I have read many letters from Micheal Ua Maolain, Micheal Ua Loingsigh, Maire Ni Raghallaigh, and· others. Micheal Ua Maclain believes that loud protests to the effect that everything is flourishing will make'[everything so in fact. Micheal Ua Loingsigh is, however, gloomy and pessimistic, and Maire Ni Raghaillaigh severely criticises the The Ard-Chraobh seems to be uneasy. management. I would Now, there is manifestly a case for enquiry. like to point out to Micheal Ua Maclain that a body is very shaky, even though extravagantly praised, if its finances are not sound and healthy. The Feis has been losing every year, and Branches such as the Ard-Chraobh have been called upon to subscribe the deficit. How are the accounts of the last Feis ? It seems from the incomplete figures in the letter of Micheal Ua Loingsigh that expenditure is It is obvious, then, going to exceed receipts again. that when a certain amount of debt has been piled up the Feis must cease. For the reasons I have above explained I should be sorry for this, and would enquire (1) What is the cause of this failure, and (2) what is the remedy? At the general meeting alluded to I pointed out that the branches in general regarded the Feis with very cold interest. Now, this interest must be warmed and stimulated. This in my opinion, can only be done by more closely identifying the Committees of the Branches and the Feis Committee. The latter must be directly representative of the Branches. I do not know how the Committee is selected at present,

but[I think that, instead. each of the larger Branches should be called upon to send. say, two prominent members of their Committees (and the smaller on some similar system of representation) to form this Committee. These men, who are accustomed to administration, should be bound to work Iai thfullv on theFeisCommittee,and stir up their respective Branches This would prevent in future a recurrence of Micheal "Ca Loinsigh's plaint, that "five or six " just men were all that could be found. I might venture to inform Micheal that if we had been approached in the Ard-Chraobh we would have been delighted to 1 elieve him and his devoted friends of a part of the labour. Xobody applied to us for assistance: and not being of a pushful disposition, we were chary about forcing our services. We were only applied to for a subscription, and gave a good one, according to our means, willingly. I regard the cause of failure then to be that the work of management is too localised. If it be devolved more this Feis will get do" n into the hearts and life of each Branch. Another cause of failure is the absence of kindly spirit. Thus Micheal Ua Loinsigh might under the circumstances abstain from references to " hurlers on the ditch." The game was started ignoring their presence, and no blame attaches to them for their attitude. As well such allusions tend to break down that loyal spirit of co-operation that ought to exist between Leaguers. With regard to the details of the management of the Feis this year a few words in conclusion. Next year's Committee, if more experienced in the organisation of Ceilidhthe will abstain from selecting a Sunday. If they do, I trust that neither Easter Sunday nor Christmas Day will be selected. Any Sunday is a The Committee seem to hopeless day for a Ceilidh. forget that Dublin Leaguers have homes and friends, and that being out at their Branch meetings or elsewhere almost every night, their own fireside, or visits to their friends) claim them on Sundays. This is especially so on Easter Sunday and like days. Personally, I was very anxious to visit the Keating Branch on the night of their Ceilidh in aid, but was unable for the very same reason which prevented me from going on Easter Sunday, viz., visitors. I need only allude to the fact that non-Dublin natives are out of town. Again, though I deprecate the absurd exaggeration of the differences between dialects, I think that it would make for general confidence in the Feis, if adjudicators were selected, so long as this mental disease of provincialism lasts, half and half from the provinces of Connacht and Munster. The maoracht was severely criticised, too. Three cailini from one Branch started their examination at 1 I .30 p.m. owing to the comStewards were not sufficiently petition starting late. numerous, there seems to have been a considerable number of hurlers of the steward-brand on the ditch. Why were they not invited to join in, when the teams were undermanned.
