Bishop Stanley responded feelingly
to the "reminiscences" in which he
was honored for the large part he had
taken in assisting, encouragin and
watching over the academy, predicting.
much of it's present success. He said
he had taken very profound interest
in the school. He realized it was one
diocese-destroy all the churches, if .
need be and we could get along. but
we could not get along without the
schools to teach the doctrines of Jesus
Christ. He would rather destroy every
church in North Dakota rather than
to have one of the little Catholic
schools here destroyed. 1t is most i'm
portant to have a good one in every
Catholic parish in the state and he
hopes to see it before he dies
He said he had taken deep interest
in this school since it's foundation II
years ago when four Sisters of st,
Joseph came here. He had been with
them upon many public occasions and
would be SO long as he lived if strength
permitted. Anyone who says or does
anything to impair the efficiency of
this school is rendering insult to me
and these good Sisters who have la
bored so hard against great difficulties

wish every man, woman and child
in Jamestown to know how grateful 7
ana the Sisters feel for everything

concluded.
The program was very interesting.
and each number excellently rendered.
Steven Hayes contributed a fine solo
and was recalled. this being a. special
extra number.
Afterward the gathering leisurely
inspected the new building, everything
being thrown open to them from the
light and airy basement where are the
dining rooms, bakery and kitchen. to
the fourth floor and the dorn1itories.
Everything is simplicity and neatness
itself, the floors of thing and hard
wood, the woodwork oak and the wallis
and ceilings finished tremendously,
The chapel is especially worthy Of
mention, all appointments being in
good taste and in harmony A dainty
piece of frescoing adds much to tho
interior.
The Sisters We're recipients of many
words of praise and commentator.
