Those who wish to see side by side the
fruits of a purely secular education Civ
en- by religions, as compared with that
given by secular teachers, would do well
to pay visit to Conejos and its neigh
boring town, AntonitO, in southwestern
Colorado. Even under the most ad-
verse circumstances the superiority of
the sisters teaching will be manifest
to the most superficial observer.
While the Conejos public school is al
most exclusively confined to Mexican
children under the tuition of the Sisters
of Loretto, yet in discipline and intel
! lectual progress its pupils are consid-
cred much superior to those of the
neighboring school at AntOnito, where
American children predominant. So true
| is this that the directors of the Antonito
school realizing the rare ability of the
Catholic sisters here on several occa-
sions requested their superiors to take
complete control of the school-a re-
quest, however, which owing to search
ty of teachers they were compelled to
refuse. On last Wednesday the writer
paid flying visit to the COneios school.
little anticipating the intellectual treat
in store for him in the different rooms.
1t is no exaggeration to say that these
Mexican children would easily outstrip
in the intellectual race most pupils of
our best American schools in corre-
spending grades. In penmanship. draw
ing, music, elocution, geography and
geometry the seventh grade pupils gave
exhibits that would do credit to stu
dents in the lower departments of our
high schools. Throughout the remain
ing grades the same high standard of
excellence was manifest and even the
minims showed in their recitations the
patience and skill brought to bear on
their tender minds.
About year ago the state Superin-
tent of public instruction made an Off
cial visit to the Conejos school, and on
seeing the wonderful proficiency of the
children, asked the sisters, How in the
world have you been able to do it?' A
similar exclamation will escape the lips
of all visitors to the school, especially
when they hear in mind the proverbial
backWardnesS of Mexican children in
most Of our primary grades The ma
jority of our public school teachers are
profuse in their complaints where Mex
lean pupils are concerned. They seem
totally at a loss to either sympathize
with or understand them, and have lit
tie idea Of the fine ability lying dor
mant beneath their dark-brown COM
pleXions. In contemplating the results
Oh lne sisters IeaCnlnS In ConejOS and
a few neighboring schools in charge of
the same Loretto order, one feels like
exclaiming: Would that America had
such teachers in all our institutions
where the races are mixed; would that
our poor Indian wards were subjected
to similar discipline and care! The pa
tience, tact, ability and piety of our
Catholic sisters would solve a problem
that reflects little credit on our boasted
pretensions to disinteredness and fair
play.

By his presence Of mind quelling
what might have been q panic, Father
James A. Ryan preserved order in St.
Leo's church last Sunday morning un-
der trying circumstances. While a
voice called "Firer' from the rear of
the crowded church, the priest, who
was offering the sacrifice of the mass,
turned and asked that the exit from
the church be orderly, and that a STAN
pede be avoided for the sake of the
lives Of the weaker ones.
1t was a trying moment. Father
Ryan had not only to look to the safe
ty Of his congregation. but he had to
heat out the flames which were eating
the flimsy draperies Of the altar before
which he was officiating. As a result
of his heroisn, the assistant pastor of
s.. Leo's church has two badly burned
hands and has lost his handsomest
vestments.
1t was shortly after u o'clock on
Sunday when the trouble at st. Leo's
was noticed. IN honor of the feast of
All Saints. the church was dressed in
its Drsttiest attire. The altar had it's
most artistic draperies, and there were
quantities of candles. Father O'Ryan
had preached a sermon on the sig
nificance of the day and had left the
church when John King, one of the six
acolytes, noticed a little flame leaping
from behind a bank of palms. Without
meaning to alarm the congregation,
bowed in prayer, he approached the
priest at the altar and called his atten-
ton to it. Suddenly the fame gained
in fury and the men and women kneel-
ing few feet back screamed in terror
Father Ryan gave his first attention
