Fr. Dalton told us in class that free-masonry was very probably one of the main causes of the French Revolution, and likewise of the Great War, as over six monarchs were deposed in 1918, and the programme of free-masonry is a world republic with no religion. – We won the junior match, played in Fermoy yesterday, by a point. There was great excitement over it. – Got a huge amount of fine stamps from the Rev. Mother. She is very kind. It will take me ages to sort. – Got No. 20 ‘Lives and Peoples’. It looks fine. – Fr. Pat came to-day to see us. Finished Bradley, which I have copied out in 4 note-books (i.e. all the examples). My extra Latin work must in future be history and Horace. – Went to choir. Fairly good attendance. Páp has composed a delightful Irish choral greeting which they sing charmingly.
