the Catholic diocese, Oh his first WISH
tation here October 80 ordered the
pastor and people of the parish to take
immediate steps to establish a paro-
chial school. A strong effort will be
made to do so although Bishop Mi
chaud asked the same thing 10 years
Iago when it was found the larger part
OF the influential members of the par
ish were strongly opposed, feeling
that the present system of the town
offered advantages which could not
be equalled for many years, if at all,
under parish guidance. They so
strongly declared that their children
should attend the public schools even
if parish schools were established
that the project was given up.

the River Mississippi; south by the
state of Louisiana; west by some OF

Canadian territory lying east of the
Rocky Mountain and north of the
present Province of Quebec, it was
said. "This extensive country is
bounded on the east by HudsOn's Bay
and the Atlantick Ocean; south by The
River ST. Lawrence, and Canada
west by parts unknown; and north
by the polar regions" Will the FOL
