Teachers Proud.

Fifteen students graduated from the
st. Joseph Catholic school last night at
the school house on Russell street The
event proved to be of such great in
terest to parents and friends of the
graduates that the school room could
not hold all of those who wished to at
tend a splendidly rendered program
was much appreciated by those in at
tendance and was significant of the
good work done in that school during
the Fast year.
Flowers and ferns were used in pro-
fusion in the decorations of the room
and platform and formed pleasing
back ground to the graduates as they
were grouped upon the stage Each
number on the program was received
| enthusiastically and was deserving of
the hearty applause it received Both
music and recitations had been care
fully prepared by members o. the class
each of whom had some part in the
program
Class Very Proficient.
| The class this year was one unusually
proficient in their school work and de
pertinent. Their standing in each
branch was of the very highest and is
representative of the high standard of
this school. No less than twenty eight
students of the school received Palmer
diplomas this year in the department of
writing which is the largest number
claimed in Northern Indiana in either
public or parochial schools. This is a
remarkably good record considering
the fact that this system of free hand
movement has been but recently intro
duced into the schools. This is but
one of the departments. however, in
which such proficiency is shown as all
of the parents of the students seem
equally satisfied with their progress
along other lines.
The school now has about four hun
dred students and the outlook for a
succeeding year was never brighter.
The increase in the roll from eighty
five TO the present number in few
years is significant of the pubIic's ap-
probation OF the high standard of the
| school The sisters will all leave in q
few days for their annual pilgrima ge to
the summer school at Terra Haute,
they will spend six weeks in prepara-
tion for the work Of the coming year
This school is one which the sisters OF
Providence from all parts of the coun-
try attend annually and by holding
conventions and taking courses OF in
struction better themselves in their
work.
