The song, THE Dear Old Village
School," was sung by the school after the
award of the prizes.
| Father Cafferty remarked that the sisters
had put him down for a talk. He gave a
short address to the children upon the APP
proach of vacation. In speaking of the
school, he said that it prepared the girls for
the position they are to fill in life. They are
not only equipped intellectually, but
they are taught the domestic duties. A
girl sent out from st. Mary's Home cannot
only talk intelligently, but she can make
| her own dresses and cook dinner
Most of the pupils of the school are small,
some of them mere tots, but they showed
great proficiency in their studies. In the
catechism they were we'll nigh perfect.
| They stood a very fine examination in
| grammar, and also in arithmetic, reading
and geography.
| In the Rotations the three little tots
were very cute in "Three Little Toad
Stools Little Joe Sheehan's "What Is Our
Baby bod For,n was very sweet. Char
lotte Russo" by Katie Walker, was excel
lent" Philip McIntyre's Rock of Ages
was well given.
| Some very fine needlework by the pupils
was exhibited in one of the school-rooms.
The pupils proficiency in this line of work
is wonderful. Even the little 3-year-old
folks had stitched some handkerchiefs.
| The programmes were written by the
older girls, and their penmanship was
excellent. The exhibition was creditable
to the sisters who have the children in
charge.
