THE INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL OF OuR LADY OF
THE HOLY CRoss.-Most of our readers are
aware Of the existence Of this deserving in
stitution, for it was noticed in last Sundays
STAR, but few, we opine, yield to 1t sufficient
credit for charitable usefulness The Fathers
of the Holy Gross have this institution in
charge; and to them, next to our Divine Lord,
be all praise given. They not only reclaim
the fiendless orphan and foster him through
youth to manhood. but they At him for lies
trials by making him worthy member OF
society and, still better, practical member o.
the Church. To Impress upon our readsrs ene
necessity (nsy, absolute duty) Of uphoidang
and sustaining 80 divine . charity, we Deem II
not inappropriate to give . brief account OF
tho institution. First, ~ to it, origin; some
time in May last the reverend clergy VINO nsd
in charge the boys orphan asylum Of st. Marys,
Third District conceived the ides Of transfer-
ring the larger boys testhe farm owned BY the
order of the Holy Cross. This they did with
the double purpose Of teaching them sgricuI-
ture and promoting their health and strength.
Celebrating the idea, the fertile brain Of Rev.
Father Foohey evolved therefsosa tho Industrial
School. His indomitabls viii, his oeaseless
energy and his matohless capacity have made
this school q success. Second, - to hia work
ings. Under the benign patronage OF his
Grace, the Most Rev. Archbishop OF Now Or
leans, the Industrial School offers itself as q
medium of wholesome intellectual and re-
lieious instruction.. To this IL ccnjofnod In
culcation of some practical mechanical trade.
The following trades are taught ut present:
agriculture, baking, gardening, tailoring and
carpentry. Should the Institution receive
sufficient support, or should its Pract'cal
working admit thereof, there will DO added the
trades of shoemaking, csbinet-makings black
smithing and printing. The benevolent laaty
must see to it that aid IL not wanting to enable
the Rev. Fathers to carry out their ali-dsserv-
ing plans Third, as to the ternas OF admis-
sion, age Of applicant, conditions OF instrac-
ton, etc., the render is referred to the adver-
tisement in to-day's issue. But we reproduce
for the information of the readers of the Scar
the following items: Orphans not under
twelve nor over fourteen years received gratis
if recommended by the proper ecciesiastics'
Boarders will be received at tho rate OF $aoo
per term of ten months. Those receiving gFaf''
admission to the institution must remain
therein till tho sge Of eighteen years. Ar
honorable and charitable plan for OBTAINING
these charity pupils has been devised by the
worthy Superior. It IL this. The credit marks
for perfection in conduct and studies amount t.
six per month. Whenever @ boy obtains six
credit marks in one month he is credited OF
the books Of the institution with one dollar
OF, if he be q large boy, two dollars. Thu
proves an incentive to exertion and q main
stay for remaining. Fourth, concerning tn
present condition Of the school, Fronting Az
feet on the river bank by eighty arpents doe
in parallel lines extending to the woods, ther
will be seen that plenty of grounds exist TO
the working of this institution. About fft
orphans therein work out their salvation bot
spiritual and temporal. Father Toohey, b
nevolent and indefatigable, controls the 81
tablishmens, assisted by two Rev. Fathers
the Holy Cross and seven Brothers. The r.
sources Of the farm are q superabundant SUI
ply of vegetables and a surplus Of milk. The'
are now twenty cows belonging to this asylu
and some five gallons of milk want purchase
in solido per diem. It is sincerely hoped thu
this charitable institution will be patronizet
that it's undertakings will be realized; but
the open-handed laity we address ourselves
all faith, hoping that SO praiseworthy, 80
serving charity will not go unrewarded.
the sincere Catholic we advise q visit to t
Industrial School, situated one square bele
the Ursuline Convent.
