interest in this necessary study, espe-

A treat as rare as it was unexpected,
was afforded the teachers and pupils
of Sacred Heart Monday afternoon,
when ScmuS McManus, the we'll known
Irish lecturer, was introduced to them.
In his most pleasing manner he told
of the wealth of old Erin in her legends
and folklore. her love for the fairies
that haunt the woodlands and hills.
His wit. humor, voice and even his
personal appearance lent an atmos-
pheric charm to the already fascinat-

three classes of narratives that have
been handed down by ne stOry-tellers
of each generation for thousands of
years, and are still preserved by repeti.
