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

1855, entered the institute in 1869, provincial visitor

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-
