Yesterday was proud day for st.
Joseph'S academy. In addition to the
usual exercises that mark the gradua-
ton of class and the close of the year,
the honor of entertaining Mgr. Satolli
was theirs. The big hall was bright
ened after the wear and tear of Thurs
days reception by the addition OF fresh
flowers, among which big clusters of
star-eyed daisies predominated. An
immense crowd of loyal church wome n
and men were gathered to welco me
Archbishop Ireiand's distinguished
guest. And they listened, standing,
through the warm afternoon with re-
spectful attention. On the platform
two large chairs in the center held the
archbishop and Mgr. Satolli. wearing
their purple robes, supported on either
hand by a company of priests from the
different churches in st. Paul as well as
some from Minneapolis.
The exercises were opened by sing
ing "See the Conquering Hero Comes, 4"
by chorus of pretty girls who sang
charmingly. MISS A. Donohue read a
very pretty address of welcome to his
eXcellency in the incest manner. A
piano selection, "R0ndeau Brilliant"
by Misses Caulfeld and Lille Mcinnis,
was then given.
Archbishop Ireland introduced Mgr.
Satolll by saying that he was greatly
pleased at the reception the school had
given him, and as Il bishop of the diocese
has the care for the intitutions of learn
ing in his own diocese, so the holy
father has care of all institutions of
learning III the world, ana he thanks
you in the name of the pontificial father
for your welcome to his representative. ;"
Mgr. Satolli spoke in his own musical
Italian. but his words were translated
by one who seemed not only to under
stand the text but the spirit of the dis
course. Mgr. Satolli says that Christ.
when he came into the world, honored
the home of Joseph and Mary. and rec
ognized the Importance of the influences
of home on humanity. The Hope of the
church is the progress OF humanity, but
that progress must depend on Christian
culture, and he congratulates you on
living in a country where Christian cul-
ture is attended to. This is not the first
time that he has been in st. Paul, and he
feels that the progress of the church will
be well advanced by an institution having
the name and under the protection OF
st. Joseph, AS we came in we, were
met by the sight of flowers and bright
faces ana notes of music. What does
this mean? 1t means that in an Institu-
ton devoted to st. Joseph correct prin-
cipleS will be taught. Simplicity, truth
and affection will be encouraging the
education of the head, the heart and the
hand. All these are necessary in the
education of woman. The head will
enable her to rule her family; the
heart is of the utmost i'm
portance. for woman makes the
home. She is It's moving spirit.
DO not think that the duties that God
and the church lay upon yon are not OF
Importance. Woman is the altar of the
home; by her power OF love in that
home she acts for its largest welfare.
In these duties she acts as an apostle.
she teaches as much by her example as
by her words. The preaching of the
gospel will avail little unless religion is
taught In the home. What are these
duties? Not politics, not business. but
to prepare for the care of her home.
Woman thus prepared will be the source
with her. She will be at once the glory
of the home, the church and the coun-
try.
