When Fathers Connolley and Yorke were
seen about the exhibit They expressed their
most grateful thanks at the courteous man.
ner in which the public at large. and the
Catholic people In particular patrOniZed the
exhibition. Said Father COnnulley:
People seemed 10 think that this was one
of the steTeotyped old church fairs, but we
can assure them to the contrary. We are
selling nothing but candy and soda, and
should any Of the audience become over
heated we cOnsign them TO the tender meT-
cies Of the Misses Agnes C0Oney and Anna
Daley, who look after their appeti,es,
which, In my estimation, is the surest cure
for excessive warmth, especially when the
icecream is good. 1 have to-day sent invita-
tons TO all the public officers of the city and
county. and 10 the School Board and Super
vis0rS in particular to come to the exhibit
and see for themselves the result Of the
Work of our children. That 1t will have
saiutary effect In dspelling the erroneous
idea that the Catholic schools teach only
religion Is certain. Hundreds Of people Of
other denominations are in daily attendance,
and are agreeably surprised at the work
performed.
when we first thought of exhibiting our
school work many thought the plan not
feasible. We intended originally 20 hold
the exhibition in the basement of the cathe-
oral, but the immense amount of work sent
in rendered this impracticabe. What
would we have done with the crowds of
people, for example that thrOng here this
evening? Seven or eight thousand people
require plenty of room and We have none
too much here, as you can see. | desire TO
personally thank the press, particularly
HE CALL, for the kind and courteous
manner in which we have been treated.
The brother of the Christian school, par
tlcularIy those Of St. Mary's College Of Cak-
land, are deserving of much praise"
- The fufurn of the t'athplip gahpotc in
this State" said a prominent gentleman
present, us particularly bright. Such an
exhibition of the handiwOrk of their pupils
as this on such a grand scale Will open the
eyes of the Skeptical and cause a revolution
IN educational matters. Our public school
system is as good as any in the world we
already know, and in conjunction with the
colleges, converts and parochial schools we
now have an educational system scarcely
equaled in the world"
