MY notes are discordant when compared
with the rhythmic melody that has come
from the threats of these young ladies
who have taken part in the program But
then there has to be a speaker for the
exercises. and I am to be that speaker
The young ladies have done we'll in their
work of the year. The people of Wash
ington are delighted that these good sis
tiers have come in their midst and estab-
Hshed a school for young ladies that will
turn out such young ladies as you see this
afternoon.
They come forth as Christian young
ladies'. They have received Catholic edu-
cation. The education of the Catholic
Church is one great effort to bring out the
latent powers of body, mind and soul Edu-
cation should not be without religion. With
OUT religion education is a pagan accom-
pnshment The education as given teaches
love OF country and love of the flag"
