"Many young men, I understand,
who were located in our various
army camps in Texas during the
war, now want to return to Texas.
A. Greater St. Edward’s would give
them just the opportunity they are
seeking to secure a higher educa-
tion here, live under our laws, and
learn our customs, preparatory to
entering into a business or profes-
sion in our State later on.
Faculty All Ready.
"St. Edward’s present faculty Is
entirely capable of teaching col-
lege or university subjects; in fact,
practically every member of the
present faculty has already taught
actual college subjects elsewhere,
either at Notre Dame or at other of
our educational institutions. We
have now at St. Edward’s several
of the foremost professors former-
ly located at Notre Dame, one of
the leading Catholic universities in
the United States."

Among these were the Red Cross

tional Committee finance campaign,
in Kansas, Fourth Liberty Loan in
I Eleventh Federal Reserve District,
1 War Work Campaign in
| Texas, etc. President Schumacher
| announces that Gerhart has been re-
: tained as General Campaign Director
for “A Greater St. Edward’s.” Har-
ris is now at work on plane for new
buildings in Austin. The Junior
High School, now Queen Theatre,
and other attractive buildings in
Austin were designed by Harris.
The personnel of a local com-
mittee in San Antonio will shortly
be announced.
Friends Give Aid.
"Before deciding upon this move,"
President Schumacher said, "we
have consulted a number of our
friends, both Catholics and non-
Catholics, as well as a large num-
ber of our former students scattered
■ over a wide area in the Southwest.
’ Practically without exception they
are enthusiastic oven, our contem-
' plated plans, they have approved of .
the idea of "A Greater St,Edward’s”
and many have already evidenced
their endorsement in a substantial .
manner.
"The Interest has Ijeen general.
We have been repeatedly urged to ;
proceed with our plans with ail pos- ■
sible speed consistent with thor- :
oughness and businesslike methods. ’
"We have been thinking of this
expansion for some time, having
realised that the demand for high-
er education—and particularly high-
er Christian education—was increas-
ing more rapidly than It could be
supplied.
Texas Needs More Colleges.
"The demand for a college educa-
tion is heavily taxing the resources
and facilities of practically all of
the colleges and universities of the
United States to-day. Particular-,
ly is there great need: for Institu-
tions of higher learning in Texas and
the Southwest at the present time,
as our present facilities along this
line are entirely Inadequate.
"This more general realisation
of the value of higher education de-
veloped during the world war when
the young men of the nation found
that, in the main, the men of higher
education became commissioned of-
ficers, in both the army and navy,
while the fellow; with little or no
education, found himself in the
ranks, at meagre pay.

In order to carry/out this plan
ot making "A Greater/8L Edward’s”
a Catholic institution second only
in size and importance to Notre
1 Dame, of which St. Edward’s is now
t a branch, a campalgn/for funds has
T been decided upcn. A iXv;,

I time to time to Individuals who are
I interested in the advancement ot
higher Christian education in the
I Southwest. PersonaL/aalesmanshlp
will be the back-bone of this modern
campaign.
Very Rev. Charles -L. O'Donnell,
C. S. C„ the Provincial in the Unit-
' ed States, of the Congregation of
the Holy Cross, which/ia the order
in charge ot St. Edward’s College,
is now in Austin, a&L.has officially
| approved the new plans and author-
ized work to begin in currying them
■ out, at once,
- Accordingly President Schumach-
er announces the appointment of a
committee from the college faculty,
consisting of Rev. Joseph Maguire,
C. S. C., Viee l’resMent, and Rev.
Michael Quinlan, C. S. C., secretary-
treasurer, who with the Provin-
cial and President Sthumacher will
have charge of the/expansion plans.
The decision to inaugurate a cam-
paign for funds was arrived at only
after a realization of the over-
whelming demand for a college edu-
cation, and after many offers of co-
operation and assistance had been
received from a large n umber of St.
Edward's former students and
friends, who realize that “A Greater
St. Edward’s” will need additional
facilities in the way., of scientific
equipment, new buildings, endow-
ment for scholarships, tin enlarged
library, more furniture and furnish- 1
ings, and campusj/improvements. '
President Schumacher now an- 1
, nounces the acceptance of a number '
of gifts .from former students in
Austin, Houston and elsewhere. !

' For some time past, it seems, the
Congregation of the Holy Cross, the
well-known order devoted to educa-
tion and which has done some ex-
ceptionally snccessfnl work, has
been quietly assembling some of its
"best minds” nt St. Edward’s. This
has been done in preparation for the
"greater things" 'which are now un-
folding.
A Noted Educator. ■
Dr. Schumacher is one of the
leading educators in the Catholic
Church In America. He was for
twelve years director of studies in
the University of Notre Dame, and
was instrumental in the reorganiza-
tion of the courses of study of that
well known Institution, which
brought it up to its present high
standard and wide reputation. For
years Dr. Schumacher was President
of the Collegiate section of the Cath-
olic Educational Association, and
has done splendid work in standar-
dizing the courses of Instruction in
the Catholic educational institutions
of America.: President Schumacher
is now undeilaking a work of simi-
lar large proportions ih Texas.:

ity of those around him. Any busi-
ness located in a very poor com-
munity, among ignorant people who
have little purchasing capacity, will
not greatly prosper, unless it de-
pends upon its patronage on a better
class of people living at a distance.:
-Material prosperity depends upon:
education and religion. They are
the great stabilizing forces under all
conditions.
“Without religion and education,
the United States would be little
better than Bolshevic Russia.
Value of College To Texas.
“The value of a college student
to a community where the college
is located is estimated to be ap-
proximately J7r>0. Suppose A
Greater St. Edward’s had 1,000
college students. On that basts
the value, in dollars and cents
alone, to the State of Texas, would
be ? 7 5 0,0 (i 9.00 annually, for that
amount would be "expended each
year among the merchants and
business concerns of the State.
“Besides this, such an institu-
tion would attract young men from
many of the other States of the
Union, to Texas—young men of the
better grade from both Catholic and
non-Catholic families, who want to
send their sons to Texas on ac-
count of onr mild climate and un-
surpassed business opportunities.

The Catholic Viewpoint,
i "Our alm in higher education is
' to' train the will, as well as the
mind and body, in order properly
i to develop the three-fold man. To
' Impart that religious Instruction to
i a young man, that will act as his
■ safeguard, his directing force, uu-
s der all cirucmstances. This system,
we believe, produces the weil-bal-
i aneed man, a good citizen, a man cf
i Christian character that may he de-
: pended upon in emergencies that
i may arise in his own personal af-
' fairs, in the affairs of his home
community, and of the State and
nation.
“Confidence ia the basis of all
our intercourse one with another.
Confidence is the basis of business.
Character Is the basis of confidence.
There is ho higher character than
Christian character
A Few Facts.-
"The tacts in the general educa-
tional situation in the country are
illuminating. The United Stales
stands ninth in education among the
nations of the world. Illlteracv costs
our nation ?S25,()09,000 annual-
ly. we are told. Texas stands 39th
among the 48 States of the Union
in matters of education. There are
to-day 282,900 illiterates in Texts,
acocrding to the authorities consult-
ed.
“The authorities agree that the
educated mind is the greatest pro-
ductive agency in the world, with-
out which fertile soil, timbered
land and mineral deposits are but
so much useless material.
Editcntlon anti Eurning Potter.
"There is a direct connection be-
tween higher education and finan-
cial earning •’capacity. The per i
capita wealth of Texas is less than
that of various other States. Also
the amount of education given their
citizens by these same States is i
much greater than that given, on !
an average, to the citizens of Texas. >
Some time ago an investigation 1
was made of this subject and it was i
found that -a boy id th no school- :

of performing distinguished ser- i
NOTES FROM HAUETSVIUE.
The Forty Hours’ Devotion began
at. High Mass last Sunday, contin-
ued Monday and closed with High
Mass on Tuesday. The parishioners
were in attendance in great numbers
• and it was edifying to note their
piety and devotion. Rev. A. Mathis
was assisted by Fathers Mlsch of
Austin, Banes of. St. Mary’s,. Kurat-
ko ot Koerth and Raska .of Yoa-
kum, representing the many lan-
guages spoken in the parish.
The large number who attended
the devotion ’was edifying especially
as nine-tenths live in the country,
some a distance of five miles from
the church. Among the edifying
■ sights was ..the members of the C.
K. of A.,; receiving Holy Commun-
ion in a body; they were present
in large numbers. The spiritual
director < could not refrain from
speaking in glowing terms of the
benefits to be derived from such
sight.
