Sacred Heart Academy.
The opening weeks of Sacred Heart
aca denny have been a striking rehec-
ton of the brilliant closing last June,
which emphasized fact already es-
tablished in the Inermountain region,
that Sacred Heart academy has no SUI
! peTiOr as an educational institution on
| this side of the Rockies. The impos-
| ing building, so beautifully situated,
! is modern in every appointment, and
the rule combines all the comforts OF
home with excellent educational ia
| cilities.
The register includes names of pu-
pills from California, Idaho, Montana,
Wyoming, Nevada, Colorado and Utah,
while the list of day pupils is larger
than ever in the history of the insti-
tuition.
Spirit OF Study.
From the first day of the semester,
all seemed to have adopted Bishop
Spalding's suggestive motto: Have
an aim and pursue it with persever-
ance,' SO despite a few homesick
hours, inevitable under natural con-
citions, the young ladies have shown
an admirable spirit and an enthusi-
assn that is undated
AS a result the markings of the
first monthly reports distributed last
Thursday were up to the average.
The cards We're distributed by Rev
erend p NJ. Cushnohan, who. ac-
cording to his usual custom, presid-
ed at the monthly reunion.
tom, presided at the monthly reunion.
With the paternal kindness and en-
couragement that marks the attitude
of Father Cushnahan toward the pu-
pills of the academy, he welcomed all,
old and new, and insisted that home
like atmosphere prevail and a kindly
spirit pervade all, reminding them
that the same earnestness should char
acterize the play hour that is evident
in the study period.
Literary Societies.
After the religious organizations,
there are no societies so assiduously
cared for as the literary circles of the
academy. and the pupils look forward
eagerly to the annual election of Off
GERS and the reorganization of each
circle. After an interesting talk in
each class and an explanation for the
benefit of newcomers as to the aims,
object, and means of a literary socie-
Is, the following results were obtained.
The Annunciata Circle, composed of
the graduates and third academies,

francisco, president; Miss Ethel Tyler, |
Twin Falls, secretary; Miss Cecil Ra-
gan, Ogden treasurer.

Iected for special study, owing to the |

IN important feature of each society
5 the discussion of leading events Of
he week. Each week one member is
ssigned to read and narrate the sub
lance of the little paper, Current
vents, after which a supplementary
xplanation is given. The plan has !
cen found an excellent one. While
