Having seen tile lions OF Limerick, thought
would look up oae Of its Catholic institutions,
and hence inquired the way to Monks school.
In city where tue relation Of Catholic to Prot.
estants is as fifteen to one, it is easy to ind
Catholic schools and 50 to Sexton street went,
and halted before plain, two-story building,
viii, large grareled gard around, where could
be heard tile voices Of hundreds Of boys ut play.
It was just recess time, md large part oi Tue
school were at their sports Two or three OF
the Monks or Brothers we're io The Jard' dressed
in a1pacca coats that came to their heels, and
having on the funny four. .corne1ed hats worn bF
many oraers in the Catholic Church, from priest
to monk. / inquired Of one Of those youcg
men If could see the school He seemed 10
look at me ungrzciousiF and sonewhat distrust-
fully, and replied that the Superior was not then
ia tho building. Perhaps you can show me the
school then, l rejoined. lie turned inc over to
another brother, who was much more gracious
in hix manner, and who, although with patr ot
lnstreless eyes, had smiling. pleasant face. lie
took nc up to bis roofn, which was large anu
airy, with Catholic emblems-both pictures ana
