Father Enzlberger, editor of the German paper "Gloke", thanks McMaster for his fight against balls and dances, which have prevailed three different times in the German congregation of which he is pastor. He thanks God that his Bishop Peter Joseph Baltes, Bishop of Alton is determined to stamp out the evils, for in his congregation he he has found out what dancing means. McMaster's work in exposing the St. Agnes Scandal has opened the eyes of honest Catholics. Father Enzlberger would like to call McMaster's attention to another dark point—the absence of parochial schools, and recognizes the fact that McMaster is fighting for them. The German Catholic papers also are fighting for them in all earnestness. In the Linzer Theologisch-praktische Quartalschrift", of Linz, Austria, which is now read by 4500 priests, in the "Herald des Glaubens " of St. Louis, No., and in his own paper, "Glocke", of Evansville, Indiana, he has tried to promote the interests of Catholic parochial schools. He does not care much for "Acadamies". He has been asked by a priest in St. Louis to furnish, for publication before the coming Plenary Council, material concerning 1 the absence of Catholic parochial schools in large Eastern cities, and 2 the loss of the church on account of this evil. Having collected some statistical material from the "Herald des Glaubens", taken from Sadlier's Catholic Directory of 1883 but being unacquainted with the East, he asks McMaster to publish in his paper statsitics and reports on congregations where parochial schools exist, for he has seen the reports McMaster published about the "famous St. Stephen's Congregation, and would like a list of those poor and sinful congregations in the East who are sending their children to hell via public schools. If McMaster can grant his petition, he will try to circulate it in the German press. It is not a question of nationality or section; rather he believes Archbishop Martin John Spalding of Baltimore is correct in saying, "A school-house ought to be built before a Church", and believes Archbishop Michael Heiss of Milwaukee is correct in saying. "The school question is the question of life for our church in America". He apoligizes for his broken English, and explains he has been too busy to improve it. :: I-2-e A.L.S. 3pp. 8vo.
