The boarders rise at 6 a. M, break

rings for prayers, after which the les

The first recess is at 1880 and Sec

The food served is good, wholesome

A large, cool room opens by long
French windows upon the cloisters and
there are books in plenty piled high or
scattered about for their use.
A music room lies to one side and
here the music teacher or patient sis

the errors or incorrect position of the
would-be youthful musician.
The curriculum includes a thorough
English course. all higher branches,
French, German and music. At pres
ent there are ninety boarders and
goodly number of day pupils, the
youngest aged four and the oldest
eighteen.
The long, clean dormitories, with
their rows upon rows of little white
canopied beds, appeal strongly to a wo-
mans heart.
Many children have entered the Pri-
DRY at a tender age and remained until
they either married or became teach

Pets abound on the place. A chain
has been stretched between the clois-

vent the horse from going on the Ia
nails and gazing into the different
rooms in dreamy abstraction. It's his
noise the gentle sisters object to. His
hoofs clatter too much; therefore, like
peri at the gate OF Paradise, he now
languishes outside.
Two dogs and cat live together in
happy amity and a canary fills the air
with melody. White and green cocka-
toos in cages brighten the old cloister
and there are other pets whose iden-
tity I have forgotten.
A life like this is only possible in such
a cline and existing conditions.
But it all tends to leave a sweet and
benevolent impression upon the young
under these sisters kindly charge.
