American Organization Injured By Historians' Admissions While Knights of Columbus Win Praise
ARTICLE IV
WHATEVER other errors were attributed to the history textbooks of John Albert Wood-
V burn and Thomas Francis Moran in last week's article showing how the influence of
Roman Catholicism was being permitted to seep into the public school system of America,!
the fact remains that those two educators have, by omission as well as commission, in
jured the Protestant cause in America. In "Elementary History and Government," one of
the rriany Woodburn and Moran books used in public schools, the authors paint a lurid,
revolting picture of the first Ku Klux Klan, which rose from the ashes of the Livii war to keep alive the old flame of Southern valor, honor and patriotism.
Woodburn and Moran tell of the original Ku Klux Klan in a sub-chapter, headed "The Ku Klux Klan. They describe it as "a secret society" that "was organized by the whites to scare the negroes and keep them from voting. The 'Ku Klux' rode out at night dressed like ghosts in hideous caps and long white gowns. They ntet in 'mysterious dens,' and they came in dread silence to negro cabins in the dead of night claiming to be the ghostly spirits of dead Confederates that had come back to warn the negroes not to take part in politics. If the Ku Klux warnings were unheeded, the leading negroes and their white Republican friends were whipped or driven away, and, in some Instances, were murdered and their homes were burned. . . . Ku Klux raids were finally supressed." Thus arralcnine the oriclnal Ku Klux Klan. the authors of histories studied by children in all parts of tho United
States, fall to make it clear that the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan of today is a new organization, founded on the
tenets of the Christian religion and professing hatred for no race, creed or nationality. Instead, the histroians remain silent and the school child, whose mind is in the formative stage, cets the impression that the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan and the Ku Klux Klan of the reconstruction period are one and the same, that Klansmen today ride forth on missions of" terror, that whippings are still frequent, that homes are burned and that even murder Is resorted to. Wrong Is Done.
wrong to the Protestant organization, which has done more lor tne Since the inception of the new Ku Klux Klan, lynchings have decreased in the South, where, before the formation of the order, outrages on
colored citizens were frequent. Credit for this decrease in lawlessness and lynchings is given freely to the Klan by negro leaders. They appreciate that the Protestant organization, whose members are sworn to uphold the constitution and laws of the United States, means no harm to the negro race and pastors of negro churches are beginning to realize that in the Klan they have a staunch friend. In the face of these facts. Woodburn and Moran tell in hideous
detail of the alleged outrages of the first Ku Klux Klan. without taking the pains to explain that the Ku Klux Klan of today is a law-abiding. Protestant, fraternal organization, to whose ranks Christians of all walks of life have been attracted. If there is a shortcoming in their relation of the rise of the first Ku Klux Klan. there certainly is none in their praise for the part played by the Knights of Columbus in the world war. On page 461 of "Klementary Amrican History and Government" there is a photographic reproduction of a traveling kitchen maintained under Knight of Columbus supervision. A group of smiling soldiers is shown seated around the kitchen and the following line accompanies the picture: "The Knights of Columbus maintained traveling kitchens.
often close to the firing line, where they could feed the men as hud huts for rest and recreation."
Only Half the Truth. The Knights of Columbus, militant members of the Roman Catholic church, in fact, seem to have quite the best of the comparison made by Woodburn and Moran. Tiut the authors again fall into the error of omission; they fail to explain that the work of the Knights of Columbus in France was paid for by funds raised largely among. Pro
testants anil that, at the close of the war. the Knights of Columbus had on hand hundreds of thousands of dollars
raised for war purposes, which they have since diverted for the use of their organization.
tv page 4, ,s in r.lemcntary History and 1 iovernment w oouuurn and .Moran nave seen tit to print a picture
of a Jewish welfare hut. captioned thus: "The Young Men's Hebrew Association did a splendid work in providing coin fort and entertainment fur the soldiers." True, there is a picture of a V. M. (.'. A:, but the lines do not indicate that the "V" did much beside amuse the American soldiers and give them writing paper. Again the odds are against the Protestants. Professors 'Woodburn and Moran are the ones, the reader should remember, who explicitly say that Columbus and his mariners went to mass before they set sail for America. "The hardened mariners, about to sail." they say, "attended mass and confessed their sins, in order to be prepared for the worst." Thus purged, the professors seem to be saying, the discovery of America was an easy matter. How About Kricson? of l.eif Kricson and his brave Norsemen, who found America .u0 Ve.irs before the Italian explorer, however, they are peculiarly uninformed. They liken Kricson's courageous crew to "a flock of sea birds." who "alighted, lingered for a while and then went their way." That description of the valiant Norsemen needs revision. Capt. Donald P.. MacMillan, famous polar explorer. -will set sail in June to establish the fact that Kricson came to these shores five centuries before Columbus attended mass and was thereby enabled
to discover' America. It is not difficult to understand the Wooilburn-Moran textbooks' shortcomings on this point. The authors refer to Columbus as a
staunch Koman Catholic, "who considered himself as an agent chosen fhe Knights of Columbus maintained traveling by Heaven to accomplish a grand design." They trv t show, in i.:.u. r, rlc tk firmtr line where thev

of Columbus s departure, but in each a priestly personage is prominent in the foreground. And to cap the climax the historians declare that "it would have been more fitting to name the New World 'Columbia' in honor of Christopher Columbus." And perhaps to hand the government of the United States bodily over to the pope and give the Knights of Columbus complete control of America's army and navy. Romanism Revealed.
I li Is not so hard lo understand why the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan are wronged and the Knights of ' Columbus lauded lo the blue skies when the reader stops to consider these choice bits of Romanism, which are
drilled daily into the minds of Protestant American school children:
"The pope addressed the. meeting and made a most wonderful speech. . . . This speech has been called 'one of the greatest 'riumphs of human oratory'." "In the following spring, Cartier and his sailors gathered in the Cathedral of St. Malo, Went to confession, listened to the mass and received the blessings of the bishop.

Some years later this same Gregory became none of Rome."

Parochial History. Let the authors tell in their own words the story of St. Thomas, which is included In scores of parochial readers "A good example of the pilgrimages were those which were made to the shrine of St. Thomas of Canterbury. St Thomas was the most famous churchman of his day. He was well
educated and took a prominent part" in the government of England before becoming an archbishop. A very interesting story is told about this good man. Henry II was very fond of his able assistant and gave him lands and gifts of various kinds. At this time. Thomas showed few symptons of piety or religion, but lived in a worldly and showy way "After a time, King Henrv wanted to make Thomas archbishop of
Canterbury a position which would place him at the head of the (Roman) church In Kngland. Thomas did not want the position and declined it. but Henry .nslsted and Rocket, as he is sometimes called, was ordained a priest and became the archbishop of Canterbury. "Thomas now changed his mode and manner of life completely. He put aslde worldly things and became a pious and devout churchman. Soon a conflict arose between the archbishop and the king. Thomas was the champion of the (Roman church and thought that lt should be independent of the government. Henry, on the other hand, said that he, as king, should rule over the church a well as the state. The king and the archbishop were both very positive men and the nuarrel between them became very bitter. Thomas was
afraid of being murdered and fled to Krance. Later he returned -to
Kngland and took up his fight anew. v

"A tremendous outcry went up from all Europe. The king was sorry for his hasty remark and shut himself
up for several days, refusing to see anyone or to eat food of any kind. The pope also was shocked and went into
