different parishes, and the whole sys-

vision Of Archbishop Ireland.
Included in the Catholic parochial
system of ST. Paul is the Cretin high
school. in charge Of the Christian Broth
ers. The building, handsome four
story brick, is situated on the north
east corner Of Sixth and Fort streets,
in the cathedral parish. The school re-
ceives it's name from that Of the first
Catholic bishop Of st. Paul, the late
Ri. Rev. Joseph Cretin. The pupils Of
the high school, now numbering 300, are
drawn from those Of the parochia1
schools who have completed the course
In the latter, and come in the regular
order Of deserved promotion. The
course Of study at the Cretin is con-
Quoted on the recognized high school
basis and comprises all branches found
in state high schools, except the class
les, which were once part Of the course,
but were dropped in the interest of
studies Of more practical use and i'm
portance to the pupils than those Of
Latin and Greek The commercial de-
partment is especially strong. The
Christian Brothers have uniform sys-
tenn Of teaching Of their own, which is
in operation in all their schools, and
there are few cities Of any size In the
United States where these are not
found. Between the commercial de-
partments of these schools in different
cities regular correspondence is main
tanned and conducted as IN actual busi-
ness life. Running accounts are kept
between them, deposits placed, drafts
drawn, exchange forwarded and trans
ferred, in which all is real except the
fiction Of value. Theory is thus reduced
to a minimum and practical business
methods become part Of the pupils nat
ure. The course in higher mathematics
is comprehensive and thorough, and the
science course of very high standard.
The school is, in a word, a surprise to
the visitor.
The Institute Of the Brothers Of the
Christian Schools, or, as the order is
better known, the
"CHRISTIAN BROTHERS"
was founded in 1850 by John Baptist de

schoolable age in the city, and nearly
one-half as many as the average daily

time Of financial stringency the attend

considerably, and that of the public

OF course, because Of the expense en-

The parochial schools are maintained
by small charge on each pupil for
tuition, and the balance of the neces-
sary educational fund is contributed
by the members of the church Of which
the school is an adjunct This sug-
gests certain reflections. 1t is surely
no mere caprice that dictates
this self-imposed additional tax for
educational purposes to be borne by the
supporters Of the parish schools
They are. If they be taxpayers, obliged
to contribute their due share towards
the support of the public schools, and
they are only discharging a citizens
duty by SO doing; and for the most
part, they view it in that light But
having done so, If they choose to pay
for the maintenance Of their own
church schools in addition, and as mat
ter of conscience, as they claim, it
would not seem to be the part of the
fair-minded to interpret this action,
as is often done. as evidence of enmity
to the public school system Of the coun-
try.
1t has been frequently complained,
too, that the existence of the
PAROCHIAL SCHOOL
draws from the attendance on the pub
lie school. and is therefore responsible
for material reduction Of the state
apportionment to this city for school
purposes, which is based upon actual
attendance. No doubt that is
the effect Of this withdrawn
pupilage; but even viewed in this light,
there is compensation in it which Is
overlooked. The average cost per pupil

the last fiscal year was s275O Now,

CRETIN HIGH SCHOOL.

Of the parochial schools Of st. Paul,
the Catholics are first in number and
Importance; indeed, so much so that
the general idea among citizens is that
they are the only ones-a mistake as
will be shown. The Catholic parish
schools Of this city number seventeen,
and have a total pupilage Of over 5000.
The general course of tuition in the sec
ular branches comprises what is gen.
orally understood by the common
school" course. 1t runs from the first
primary to the grammar grade, inclu-
sive, with a strong tendency to ampli-
flying instruction in the useful and
practical branches, such as history,
geography, grammar, bookkeeping and
St. Paul daily globe., 1896-02-09

bly, add that many times the cost per
pupil to the expense of maintaining
the city schools, or $192, 500; an amount
many times that of the state appor-i
tionment which would accrue from
their attendance.
Another criticism which Is frequently
made on the parochial school is that
1t is inefficient. Setting aside the matter
Of religious training and instruction
which these schools supply, and which
the state schools, of necessity, cannot,
there is lite discoverable ground for
the criticism. There is, or should be,
no doubt that the public schools, with
their greater means and better appli-
ances, should be able to do their work
better than schools of restrained re4
sources. But the greater number of
our parochial schools are little behind
their greater contemporary. The pub
lie school has unconsciously, but bene-
ficially, operated outside of it's domain;
1t has been a developer of educational
methods in the parochial schools. In
this age and country the inferior school
can have no place; hence those having
charge of the parish schools are
obliged to keep them up to the popu-
lar standard or abandon them alto
gether. And If through these infiu-
ences they are brought into fair cons
fornity with state schools, 1t is subject
lot INiS mas DcGIl
done In st. Paul TO q great extent,
there is ample evidence. The passing
of pupils from the one school to the
other goes on daily without any ap-
parent friction or disparity In their
grading. Some Of the most efficient
of our present public school teachers
received the greater part, and In soms
instances adj, of their education in the
church schools; and the aptitude and
readiness with which they discharge
their present duties indicate that they
are not strangers to public school
methods of instruction.

POMONA WATER BONDS VALID
The Question Passed Upon by
Judge Van Dyke
HANSON STRIP A SIDE ISSUE
Not Necessary Except to Cover a Re.
mote Contingency
Van Dyke and One Before Judge Nc
KinIey-General Court News

Judge Van Dyke yesterday gave de-
cision affirming the validity of the Pomona
water bonds. The legality of the bonds
was attacked by M. G. Rogers, who insti-
tuted suit against Il. H. Hutchinson and
the other trustees of the city of Pomona to
restrain them from issuing the bonds and
proceeding with their sale, on the ground
that the proceedings were irregular. When
it was decided that the city of Pomona
should acquire a water system, the trus-
tees secured FROM Peter Fleming and
James Beckett an option on certain lands
on which to develop water, for the sum of
$114,65O, they to acquire title to certain
land known as the Hanson strip; which it
was desirable to also secure. as a
precautionary measure to prevent tres
pass. An election was then held on the
issuance of bonds for the purchase of the
land in question, and the proposition was
carried by large majority. The trustees
then proceeded to carry out the project.
and issue the bonds, when they were
estopped by the suit of Rogers, the point
being faised that as Fleming and Beckett
could not acquire the title to the Hanson
strip, the provisions of their contract with
the city could not be carried out.
Briefly stated, Jud g Van Dyke holds
that it is clearly within the powers of a
municipality to acquire water system,
and that the bond issue having been duly
voted, the failure to secure land not nee
essary for the development of water, but
merely to cover a remote contingency, is
not sufficient to invalidate the bonds and
stop the work.
