One of the notable addresses deliv-
cred at the Commencement exercises
Of this splendid institution Of learning
was that by the Very Rev. L. F. Kear-
ney, 0. p. s. T. M. The following
excerpts are here given:
Very Reverend and Reverend Fathers.
Sisters. ladies and gentlemen:
- Il am sure that I correctly in
terpret the minds Of you all when I
say that we are grateful to the young
ladies for the intellectual, literary,
musical. and 1 may add, truly philo-
sophical feast which they have placed
before US this morning, and am
equally certain Of your approval and
endorsement when I congratulate the
young ladies and the Sisters Of Saint
Clara College upon having produced
here this morning an entertainment
truly worthy Of an educational insti-
tuition of the highest order.
I'm the exercises Of last evening and
of this morning we had evidences OF
extraordinary talent and industry and
application on the part Of the stu.
dents, and equal evidence Of extraordi-
nary ability and devotedness and yea
on the part Of their preceptresses

prise to us,-it was nothing more thar
we expected. The reputation Of the
Sisters Of the Mound as educator.
does not date from today. nor IRON
yesterday. It is coeval with their ex'
istence among you as teaching body
For over fifty years they have bee,
engaged here in the noble work o
imparting Christian education to tn
children Of the people, and during tn,
course Of those years hundreds Of tai
ented, cultured, refined young ladie
have gone forth from this venerabl,
institution to be the pride and the 10.
and the honor and the ornament o
hundreds Of Christian homes: ant
therefore. the good work done by tn
Sisters of Saint Dominic here at tn,
Mound is something that cannot b.
| overestimated.
Education is. in the natural orde

given to US. Divine grace comes firs
among the goods enjoyed by rationa
beings, but it is supernatural gi;
coming directly from God, who alon
! lean give it. Education ranks FIRST ii
