Officials High in the Church
Look Over the Sites
in This City.
St. Paul Wants School But
ltsLocation Here Is
Quite Desirable
Mayor and Aldermen Accom-.
pany Visitors on Tour
of Investigation

Mankato is entertaining several oni
cials high in the Catholic church, and
upon their decision hangs the qucs-
.t9u OF whether this city is to have
another very large educational institu-
ton located here. If their decision is
favorable, Il site will be selected at
once, and eventually large sums will
be invested as the institution grows.
Rev. Mother Marianne of the Sis
tiers of the Notrc Dame and her secrc-
AIRY and two of her consulters arrived
S..aday from Milwaukee. via st. Paul
and yesterday Monsignor Father Ablen
OF Milwaukee, spiritual advisor of the
Sisters of the Notre Dame, arrived. The
entire party will remain over Sunday.
Mankato Desirable Point
The visit of these high officials is
in regard to establishing new cduca-
tional institution. called mother
house. for the northwest. in Mankato,
and also Il ladies' seminary and board
ing school for higher education. The
mother house is normal school for
the sisters who wish to become teach
crs in the Catholic institutions. There
are but three i'll the United States at
present, located at st. Louis, Milwau
kee and New Orleans, and this one will
be the fourth st. Paul desires to
get it, but Mankato is thought to
stand better show than any other
place.
The mother houses at present in cX
istence are very extensive institutions,
and there is no doubt but that the
largest, as the northwest is growing
faster than any other part of the
country.
Look Over Available Sites.
Yesterday Mayor Meyer anu several
of the aldermen and u number OF
ouner citizens, mostly prominent mem
bers of the Catholic church, took the
distinguished visitors out in automo-
biles to look at various sites for the
institution, provided it was to be To-
Gated in Mankato. and saw several
that have decided advantages. None

decided whether the institution will be
located in Mankato OF not but it is
expected that decision will be reach
ed soon.
Las the Railroad Facilities
Mankato is very desirably loca>' for
such an institution as it is proposed to
build, as it is at the very gate of tie
great northwest, with railroads reach.
ing out in every direction, and electric
lines soon to reach into the nearer ter
ritory.
The present educational institutions
of the city have experienced a re-
markable growth, drawing students
from far and near, and there is no
doubt but that the mother house
would be SO well patronized that it
would necessitatc frequent enlarge
ments to keep pace with its growth.
1t is to be hoped that the visit OF
the prominent church people will be
enjoyable and satisfactory, and that
they will decide to locatve the mother
house in Mankato. No doubt our citi
zens will be willing to render what as
sistance may be necessary in any way,
as its coming here would mean a great
deal to the city.
