McGolrick, James, Bishop of: Duluth, Minnesota, to William J. Onahan, Chicago, Illinois, 1892 May 24

The 'painter follows the plough' but Duluth is still in the 'plough period,' the fine arts are in the future. McGolrick asks Onahan to furnish him with a list of the subjects to be discussed at the Congress anyway. "Edjication" (education) and "Culchaw" (culture) are apt topics. A subject for a deep thinker would be to write on the phase of society in Chicago, which leaves a vast Catholic population without a representative on the Exposition Board. Father Barry could write something on Catholic inanition.
