The new st. Joseph's Academy is rap
idly nearing completion and is a very
great improvement upon the old, small
building heretofore used at least two
thirds more room has been added by the
additional extensions, not only In length
but in height as well !; and the whole
building is now so well planned as to
permit no loss of space whatever, and at
the same time have each separate graded
room accessible to the scholars without
having to pass through other apartments.
The whole building is roomy, and is fur
nished with an abundance OF windows
in order to admit that urgent necessity
for busy little brains, plenty OF light and
sunshine and air. The entrances are
protected and rooted over with finely
finished, roomy piazza, extending the
entire length of the building, which Is
an additional comfort to the scholars as
well as a finish to the structure. The
pupils of this school last year numbered
one hundred and sixty, and the facilities
of the new building to accommodate the
rapidly increasing scholarship will doubt
less be a great pleasure and satisfaction
to the faithful Sisters in charge, as wei
as to the pastor of st. Joseph's Church
to whose untiring energy its success il
80 largely due.
