The university has also undertaken a series of popular lectures which are open to the public without charge. These lectures were given on a variety of subjects, for instance, philosophical, social, historical, scientific, medical and legal. The total attendance at these courses was 1428.

Inquisition, Canonical (cf. C. E., VIII-38b).— Though the special inquisition preliminary to enter- taining a charge of crime against a cleric may be held by the local ordinary, it is usually entrusted to one of the synodal judges, or for special reasons to another priest. The mquisitor must be dele- gated specially on each occasion and for a single case only, and can never act in the same trial as judge. When his report indicates that the denuncia- tion is without solid foundation, a record of this fact is to be kept in the secret archives; if, how- ever, there are indications of a crime having been committed which are insufficient for citing the cleric for trial, the record is to be similarly preserved and the conduct of the suspected party is to be kept under superx'ision ; finally, if the evidence is certain or at least probable and sufficient for formulating an accusation, the cleric should be sum- moned to appear.

Inatitnte of the Brothers of the Ohristian Schoohi (cf. C. E., VIII-56a).— Members of this congregation take annual vows at the end of their

novitiate, triennial vows at twenty-two years of age, and are admitted to perpetual profession at the age of twenty-five. The present superior gen- eral is Brother Imier de Jesus Lafabregue, bom in 1855, entered the institute in 1869, provincial visitor to the United States, assistant general in 1907, and elected siiperior general in 1913, replacing Brother Gabriel-M!arie, who resigned because of his ad- vanced age. There are: in Belgium 85 establish- ments conducted by the Brothers, comprising about 66 popular free schools, boarding schools, official normal schools, and trade schools known as St. Luke schools; 35 houses in Germany, Austria, Hun- gry, Bohemia, Galicia, Albania, Bulgaria, and Rumania; in Spain, including the Canaries and the Balearic Isles, 136 houses of the institute, of which about 111 are popular gratuitous schools; in Italy 37 houses, of which 9 are in Rome; in the Levant, Turkey, Syria, and Egypt, 50 houses which are centers of Christian education and influence and are liberally patronized by the people of those countries; in the district of England and Ireland 35 houses, the Brothers for the most part being engaged in the national schools; 95 houses in Mexico, Cuba, Ecuador, Colombia, Panama, Argen- tina, Chile, Venezuela, Peru, Bolivia, and Brazil; and 66 houses with nearly 24,000 pupils in Canada. In the United States the institute has four prov- inces, Baltimore, New York, St. Louis, and San Francisco.
