By this work, I believe wc have saved our country souio of the distressing scenes that have been witnessed In the metropolises of the na tions who participated In the war." "Throughout the period of demob ilization," he declared, "tho Knights of Columbus were close to the intn, helping them with their problems, serv ing them in every useful way we could devise." TenB of thousands of former service men nnd women were benefited by the order's educational campaign, the su prcmc knight said. Five hundred vet erans are receiving college educations in representative universities. Tho Knights of Columbus school hjstem has grown from one to seventy-three schools within twelvo months and will grow to 200 schools before the end of the year. Teachers are paid 25 per cent more than the public school rate, be snid, and this policy will be continued. The ultimate nlm of the order is to Inaugurate a system of 500 self-sustaining night schools. These schools will be thrown open to civilians for nominal fees. Lecturers, in their campaign nzninst Bolshevism, have addressed 700,000 people in 200 cities. These lectures, he said, have converted tens of thousands of young people tending to raldcal Ism back to the ways of common sense.
