DECLARES AMERICA TO MAKE PROGRESS NEEDS SCHOLARS Head of Notre Dame University Delivers Address to New York Professors.
Very Rev. James Burns, president of Notre Dame university, made an urgent and convincing demand for higher standards in teachers and professors of schools and colleges throughout the Unites States, in his address Thursday night at the third session of the Catholic Educational association, held in the Commodore hotel of New York city. "If America is to become the center of intellectual life," said the educator, "we can become so only through the superior productive inintellectuality of American scholars. Study and research are as the breath of life to the true university, and it should look with special favor upon those fields of knowledge which are the object of highest faculties of the mind. Too Practical. "As a nation we have devoted our attention chiefly to the practical side of human life. Following the national bent, American universities have over-emphasized the importance of the practical and utilitarian subjects. We have added but very little to the knowledge or thought of the race in philosophy, literature, poetry, art or pure science, to say nothing of theology. And yet it is to these simplest, purest, and most direct products of the working of the human mind that humanity ultimately looks in evaluating the intellectual contributions to civilization of any age or land. "We lack large endowments; but what endowment is needed for the development of a school of genuine poetry or literature? For such things, teachers alone are needed and are sufficient--teachers who are thoroughly trained and equipped, and who have not only the spirit of higher study but the power of mentality as well. Need Great Teachers. "Great teachers invariably attract earnest talented pupils. A college which produces a great English stylist, or a great critic or philosopher will see students coming from far and near to study under such a master. A. Gildersleve, at Johns Hopkins, even in this materialistic age, was able to attract enthusiastic students to his courses in ancient Greek from every part of the coun-try. "Great teachers, and great teachers alone, will fill our Catholic colleges and universities with eager and ambitious students, and arouse that public interest in our work which will bring us needed material resources and endowment. Only great teachers in our colleges can give America a Catholic literature, art philosophy, and thus offset the fatal materialistic tendencies in our national life."

NAMES COMMITTEE TO REPAIR PLANT
Y" Coal Situation Causes Association to Take Necessary Action.
Walter Fassnacht, chairman. Fred Keller, C. W. Bliss, and O. H. Ahlhorn were appointed a committee, at the meeting of the Y. M. C. A. house board, Thursday night, to prepare plans for repairing the heating plant of the association. A sub-committee consisting of Fred Keller and G. W. Bliss was detailed to watch the coal situation with a view to securing a supply of fuel to last the association for the first winter months. Fifteen years ago the present steam heating system was installed in the Y. M. O. A. building. Since that time the rapid expansion of the association's activities, necessitating larger quarters, and the natural wear on the heating equipment, has caused less and less efficiency in the operation of tho plant. Overhauling of the two boilers and extension of the hot water capacity is contemplated by the r.ommlttee. According to tho chairman the coal situation is so acute that the Y. M. C. A. sees no possibility of stocking" up on fuel for several months, while cold weather is only three months away. Unless the transportation tieup is relieved the Y. M. C A. may have to suspend .1 largo number of itf activities during the coming season. India has perhars a greater variety of plants than any other country in the world, having 1.500 native species, 'or about 50 per cent more than Is embraced in the flora of the whole of Europe.
