A girl Of two and twenty who could
calculate longitude from the altitude

The more he saw of her the more he
knew himself to have been right in his
FIRST estimate. She drank whisky after
her meals, and when angry, which was
often, swore like a buccapeer. AS yet
she was almost, as one might say
without sex-savage, unconquered, un.
tanned, glorying in her own independ
ence, her sullen isolation. Her neck
was thick. strong and very white, her
hands roughened and calloused. In
her mems clothes she looked tall, Wig.
orous and unrestrained. and on more
than one occasion as Wilbur passed
close TO her he was made aware that
her hair, her neck her entire personal
ity, exhaled q fine. sweet, natural
redoience that savored OF the ocean
and great winds.
One day as he saw her handling q

with strength he knew to he greater

EDITORIAL BREVITIES.

Mr.. John E. Bruce, the scholar
and veteran newspaper cOrrespOn-
dent, has a mastery article on the
Negro in Civilization, in the Flor
ida Sentinel, of April 18th. The
article was written in reply to an
editorial in the Florida Times
Union in which the following ques-
tiOns were asked, speaking of the
Negro: ''What contribution has
he made to civilization? What
has Africa done except to accept
and absorb? What.has the Negro
done for himself? What can he
do for himself except he is guided
and protected by Others?" Mr..
Bruce completely annihilates the
writer in The Times Union, scOr-
ing heavily on every point.
This article should be put in
pamphlet form and placed in the
hands of every cOlOred school
teacher and school boy and girl

plete history of the Negro from

HOLY ANGELS ACADEMY
MINNEAPOLIS, MINI.

The Sisters of ST Joseph established
this fine acaaemy for the higher educa-
ton of girls more than twenty five
years ago in Minneapolis. The loca-
ton of this establishment is highly
desirable, being within easy access of
all adjacent quarters.
For quarter OF a century Holy
Angels academy, on Fourth and Sew
enth avenues north, has been the cen
ter from which much of the culture of
the Twin Cities has emanated Two
imposing buildings, one of brick, the
other frame structure, the home of
the academy, are situated in a spacious
park, beautifully laid out for prone
made and recreation. The grounds are
well arranged for hea1thful games and
athletic sports; tennis, croquet and
basketball are among the pursuits that
while array the recreation hours.
The frame building is used exclu-
sively for school purposes, and is well
adapted to it's intended purposes;
cheerful class rooms, with tasteful fur
nishings, are contained within the
structure; the brick edifice, or convent
proper, is used as home for the Sis
ters, and for the boarding students.
The convent is handsomely arranged,
with its pretty parlors and reception
rooms, it's scientifically arranged DOR
mitories. its comfortable assembly
rooms and broad corridors, it forms
an ideal home for the students

No department of ST. Thomas COL
lege is becoming more popular than the
preparatory department. Parents are
approaching more and more the splen-
did opportunity which the college af-
lords for the proper training of boys at
the most critical stage of their life.
The spacious grounds affording every
facility for healthful exercise, the care
full supervision. the religious training,
all combine to make ST. Thomas COL
lege an ideal school for younger boys,
as we'll as for their more mature COM
panions.
The college is situated near the banks
OF the Mississippi midway between St
Paul and Minneapolis. In the neigh
borhood are Minnehaha Falls, Fort
Smelling and many other spots hardly
less remarkable for the beauty Of their
scenery and the interest of their his
torical associations. The college COM
mands magnificent vistas in every di-
rection, and the college grounds, with
their avenues and groves and undulat-
ing lawns. form a splendid setting for an
institution of learning. Not the least
desirable feature of the location is the
seclusion which the college enjoys.
Sufficiently remote from the distrac-
tons of the city, it is an ideal place for
all the StudfouS habits that are so es-
sential for the training of youth
While the college possesses all the
advantages of scholastic seclusion it is

gentle and judicious direction they seek
to mold the characters of their youth

surroundings at the academy do much
to make of the student an ideal wom-

Christian spirit. In the day department
there is an attendance Of about 300,
and there are about seventy-five pupils
who board and live at the school Nine
teen teachers devote their time and
constant. attention to the training of
the pupils. The classes are small and
special attention is given to Individual
work.
The course Of instruction embraces
all branches consistent with a thorough

Upon graduation the pupils receive

The three massive buildings occu-

The new class building, which was

designed. On the first floor are recita-

is equipped with all apparatus and

The pioneers in educational work In

Joseph.
Quite transition presents itself in
the work of the Sisters of st. Joseph
in st. Paul and Minneapolis. Their
first humble little home, where, half a
century ago, assembled only few sis
tiers and still fewer students, has given
way to three large. thriving institu-
lions, with a total enrolment of near
ly 500 students annually. The first and
most prominent Of these is St. Josephs
academy, in st. Paul. the mother house
and novitiate of this district
The academy is located in the very
heart of the best residence portion Of
the city, and consists of a series of
large brick and stone buildings erected
from time to time. 1t presents, how
ever, a harmonious architectural effect,
and is justly famed as one of the most
palatial educational institutions here
In dimensions it is $50 feet long by $50
feet deep and four stories in height
Around the buildings are extensive
grounds covered with a green sward
and shaded by luxuriant trees. The
academy buildings are lighted by gas,
