The valedictorian was applauded by
the audience and her classmates, aud
Bishop Kahn then addressed them all.
The Bishop expressed his regret at the
approaching breaking up Of the school.
Though he knew all were glad to 60
home, he also knew th0t their gladness
was tempered with sorrow. The Bishop
praised the system Of discipline in force
ut the Mount, and spoke OF the COM
plants as to its strictness, on the part
OF some parents. He thought 1t would
be an evil day for Mt. dc ChantNl or
any Catholic institution for girls, when
the necessary barriers Of discipline
should be broken down. The Bishop
then turned to the graduates OF the
class OF '9l and thus addressed them;
