Academy Dedicated
The Academy of the Holy Names on
North Fair Oaks avenue was dedicated this
morning. Mass was given this morning
at $3.50 by Mishop Montgomery, assisted ty
the pastor, Rev. Farrelly. The Bishop later
delivered an address, speaking in emphatic
terms of the immense value of such q
school, stating that the building of pa
rochial schools was next In importance to
the building of churches. This school was
not built by the local church, but by the
sisters. The money was earned in other
fields of labor than this city. The best
of training and education is given the pu-
pills and it is a mistake to think that young
ladies of other faiths will be unduly 'influ-
enced to become Catholics. The religious
education is given only to the Catholics
who attend the school. Excellent music
was given by the sisters and breakfast.
This evening there was fag-raising and
the bishop again addressed the congrega-
ton. This school is the sixty-fourth which
the sisters have built. 1t is a handsome,
large building and stands on the southeast
| corner of Fair Oaks avenue and Walnut
street. Upon the opposite corner there
will soon be erected a handsome Catholic
| church. The school was this morning
| blessed by the bishop, each foundation
stone being sprinkled with holy water.
