REPORT of the DUBLIN SOCIETY P I L.
The report of the Dublin Society for the Preser¬
vation of the Irish Language to which we referred
in last issue is very encouraging. At the first exa¬
mination under the Result System in '81, twelve
children only passed; last year 805 passed — in all
since 1881, 3,801 have passed, 7,000 being examin¬
ed — comparing the number who passed to those ex¬
amined last year.
The Society is in good financial condition, having
$485. to its credit. The number of Gaelic books
sold by the Society to date is 100,495; this is ex¬
clusive of what has been printed and sold of the So¬
ciety's books by private firms, but with the Society's
consent.
In this Report the efficient Secretary, J J Mac
Sweeney, has referred to the recommendation of the
GAEL to form clubs in the States for the purpose of
awarding prizes for the encouragement of the Gaelic
pupils in the National Schools. We hope that su¬
gestion will be acted on. See what the Rev. Mr.
Cleaver is doing. A good deal of the children who
are learning Irish are too poor to buy books, and
all know how easy it is to forget a thing if it be not
practised. Hence, we hope that those of our readers
who have a dollar to spare will send copies of the
Gael to the Teachers to be given to such children.
Also, to try to get their well-to-do neighbors, who
are not readers, to do it. All, whether they be able
to read the language or not, can help; and none can
say that the efforts so far are not successful. See all
the dollars some of our countrymen spend in the sal¬
loons beyond their needs.
