The above are what may be called practical Gael¬
ic workers.
It is of paramount importance to Irish interests
that all the schools where the language is being
taught be supplied with such publications as the
Gael. The pupils' parents, generally, are too poor
to supply their children with Gaelic reading matter,
and, surely, the friends of the cause in America
ought to be numerous enough and patriotic enough
to supply it. Some of the above subscriptions are
nearly run out and we hope they will not only be
renewed but that the paper will be sent to all the
other schools enumerated.
Irish-Americans, you are as interested in the edu¬
cation of these children in the National language as
their parents are, for when they come out here they
will be a credit to you and your children ; coming
out educated in English only would add to the force
of the enemy's contention that the Irish were a bar¬
parous, ignorant, race until the English took them
in hand and educated them. And there is not an
Irishman in America to-day that does not suffer ma¬
terial injury and the loss of political prestige because
of it. That is the material phase of the Gaelic move¬
ment; the sentimental phase is — the man that would
make no exertion to free his mind from slavery
should never be free in limb or action.

Ċruit ansa mo ṫíre, an dorċadas a

Ḃí fuar-ċuing na tosda ort fáiste go

Do ṫóig mé as geiḃeal, d'éis do ċuiḃ¬
reaċ ḃeiṫ sgaoilte,
Air do ṫeudaiḃ sgeiṫ gaeṫe, a's solais
saor-rann.
Ḃí fuaim sundaċ feaṫa do b'aeraiġ 's

Ag dúsaċt do ṫeuda, 'ḃí suanṁar

Aċt ḃídís ċó neaṁ-eolgaċ air ṡuarcas
's air luinne
Go m-briseann an brón trí do ṡúgaiġ¬

Slán agus beannaċt le do ḃinn-ġaeṫiḃ,

So an dlaoiġ déiġionaċ dánta do ḋeun¬

Téiḋ, a's codail faoi sgáil lonnraiġ

Go ḃ-fáġaid meura níos stuama air

Má ḃí croiḋe gaisgiġ treunṁair, tír-

'G a g-corruġaḋ, ag éisdeaċt le seinn¬

Ní raiḃ annam-sa aċt oiteog neaṁ-

Agus uait-se do ṫainic an ḟuaim ḃinn
