temporaneous talks and at other
times sides are chosen for debate
These affairs not only add to the So
cial life of the college and afford
means of recreation for a few hours,
but they are also more or less in
structive and serve to create friend
ly rivalry among the students. An
other salutary feature is the fact
that those taking part in these col
lege entertainments gradually over
come the timidity of appearing in pub
lie which is known to the theatrical
profession as "stage fright

Present Facilities Inadequate to Meet
Increasing Demands.
"We simply cannot accommodate
any more students-the college is
taxed to the utmost" Brother f.
Lewis informed a representative of
the New Mexican. 1--WE have been
obliged to turn away number of
boys on account of the crowded con-
ditions. We are unable to take care
of any more day students or boarders."
The present enrolment at the col
lege is 234. Of these all but about
hundred are boarding students. The
attendance has been growing steadily
year by year and 1T will be necessary
to have another building erected to
make room. The director is sorry
that the college is hampered for a
lack of facilities but he is making the
best of the circumstances. He told
the reporter that he wanted stress laid
on the fact that the college is filled
to the limit so that parents living in
the surrounding country might know
of the crowded conditions before go
ing to the expense of sending their
boys here as many others have done
and then we're unable to gain ad
mittance. He hopes to have addition
al quarters for the students before
long.
st. Michael's College was founded
in 1859 and was first housed in few
little adobe buildings by Most Rev
ernel Archbishop j. B. Lamy and
placed under the direction of the
Brothers of the Christian schools. In
1874, the institution was incorporated
Since that time, the college has grown
steadily until now it's curriculum en-
braces besides the primary and COM
mercial branches, French, Spanish,
German. Drawing, Typewriting, Phon-
ography. Telegraphy, Chemistry, AS
saying and various branches of music.
The discipline of the school is
strict but not harsh. Students are
not allowed to leave the college
grounds without special permission
and their correspondence, except
with the members Of their families, is
watched. The young men of the col
lege are encouraged in all manly
sports, and their physical welfare is
being looked after as carefully as their
mental advancement and moral con-
ditions.
