A COOP CATHOLIC EXAMPLE A

cese-thanks to the lofty Catholic po-
sition taken by Bishop Atkinson and
triumphantly carried under his ,eader
ship both in this diocese and in the
land. But these men have been repre-
sentatives of congregations composed
of people Of their own race. This in
stance is the first on record, we are
sure, in this diocese or in any southern

that the vestry is composed of men who

The Appleton Readers, entire series, have been
used by the teachers during the last two ses-

tire satisfaction. We do not hesitate to endorse
the Readers heartily, and believe the rules and
methods suggested in these Readers, when fol
lowed, will produce intelligent and expressive
readers. The selections are good, the Phonics
simple and thorough, and the spelling exercises
admirable. (Signed.)
