The work of the schools the past year
has been the best in the history of the
institute. There were lS2 pupils en-
rolled, and five teachers required for the
work. The sisters feel very much graft
fed at the high standing their schools
have attained, and state that much praise
is due the parents of the pupils, many OF
whom have made personal sacrifices to
keep their children in the institute
They desire to express their thanks and
appreciation to all such, and hope to an
other year make their parish prouder
than ever of it's schools.
