THREE CHEERS FOR OUR CATHOLIC SCHOOLS.
1t is with no ordinary pride that we an
nounce to our Catholic fellow-citizens the glo,
rious fact, that our schools have all opened
before known in the history of Christian edu-
| cation in St. Louis. They are literally crowd
ed. Thousands have come from the public
schools, aud many OF them among .ne m nos
, admission in the schools OF their respective
parishes st. Patrick's parochial school open
cd the first day with seven hundred children.
| ST Budgets began with nearly as large u
number and so Of the other parochial schools
The St. Louis University, as we are informed
By one of its professors, never ID all It's Ion 6
bright auspices. The Academy of the Vista
ton bids well to fill it's capacous halls to the
last seat before serious work commences. We
have not heard from the Christian Brothers
College, nor from the Sacred Heart nor st.
Joseph's Academy, but we are cure the same
satisfactory condition of affairs holds with
them. The immense increase IN the number
and can only be accounted for on the grounds
of the increased facilities and magnificent
school houses which our priests have within
the past year established. We are bnilding
splendid school-h houses the old shaky, dingy
barracks in the alley, or in the basement of 6
church, giving way to the elegant struc fures
now to be seen i'll st. Patrick's, st. Bridget'f
and ST. Johns parishes. On with the glorious
work We have now eight Catholic school
houses that can compete with like number
of the best public schools in the city.-St Loui

wind blows. Time and again we have spoken
of the rapid strides that our holy Faith i
, making in New England. The following para
