than half century of intelli
gent and faithful work in the
education of the young, in mora!
instruction and literary training
of the boys and girls of this
parish, closed another session
last week. AS usual the last
scholastic term of this popular
institution of learning has en-
joyed a most generous patron
age. Few schools in the State
have done a greater work in the
cause of the moral and intellec-
tuat up1ift of the youth of the
country. The good nuns, who
came here nearly fifty years
ago and founded the Mount
Carmel Convent, were pioneers
in the cause of education. In
those days there were few, if
any, schools in the towns. and
none in the rural districts, and
the Mount Carmel sisters taught
thousands of little boys and
girls, who, without their help,
would never have had a chance
to learn to read and write.
With them teaching has been
a labor of love, for they have
often taught the children of the
poor who were unable to pay
for their schooling.
The closing exercises took
place Friday night and the dis
tribution of pre- NUNS Saturday
morning. The program, which
was publish in The Gazette last
Saturday, was very creditably
rendered. The following are the
