Argentine Republic, Mr John M Tierney, £1, on
which bounty we continue, as usual, to send the
Gael to the Sisters of Mercy at Ballinrobe, Dun¬
garvan, and Tuam.
We hope other Irishmen will follow Mr Tierney's
patriotic example and send the Gael to friends in
the old country. The National Teachers, apart
from the clergy, are the best medium through
which the Gaelic Movement can be served, and
this doubly so in connection with the Christian
Brothers' Schools. Hence, we hope American
Gaels who cannot prevail on their Irish neigh¬
bors to become readers themselves that they will
try to get them to send the Gael to the National
Teachers of their respective districts in Ireland.
The Gael is National — No Mugwumpery about it
