make the mode of instruction of boys

important decree just issued from the
Mother General of the Sisters Of
Notre Dame. at Namur.
According to the order, which it is
said will be rigidly enforced 1.-The
Sisters of Notre Dame were estab-

and they may not instruct boys who
are over years of age. At the COM

Sisters cannot, therefore. admit to

of the year. The Cardinal Prefect of
the Congregation of the Religious has
approved this rule and has judged it
to be indispensable" The decree also
includes the same restriction to Sum
day schools, catechsm classes and in
struction for First Communion,
In many of the parochial schools
connected with Catholic churcheS of
Cincinnati boys over years Of age
are being instructed by Sisters, and
these will be affected by the new re-
striction. At the several academies
Of Notre Dame located throughout the
archdiocese boys are not accepted as
students except in a few instances.
Strict compliance with the new rule
will not be compulsory until June,
1913, although. communications have
been sent to all pastors, informing
them to make the change as soon as
possible. The boys over the required
age will be transferred to parochial
schools or colleges over which Broth
ers or men instructors preside.

was in fact 2:oS. but in order to keep
him in the 2:10 class he was given a
somewhat high mark. His best time in
Lake county was 2:14 and a fraction.

BURLESQUE
SHOW WAS
CLEAN ONE

The Midnight Maidens'' proved to be
one of the eleanest and best burIesque
shows that has ever been seen in this
city. The costuming was far above the
average and the show has some real
merit.
There was an absence of the liberties
that are usually taken with the audi
ence, and those who saw the show say
that it was fit for any kind of an audi
ence. while the average burlesque show
would disgrace a woman who saw it,
The show did big business in Ham

secured permission to cross certain
streets in Hammond in consideration of
an agreement that it would erect a
$4,000 depot. 1t has never built this
depot and is now using the Erie right
of way to secure access to Chicago.
4. 1t would appear that the Chesa-
peake & Ohio railroad might be forced
to appropriate that $4,000 for depot
and that this would lead to a similar
appropriation by the Erie railroad,
which would give Hammond a fine new
depot.
5. Several years ago the Erie railroad
pleaded poverty. 1T proved to Chair
man Wood of the railroad commission
that it would be useless to attempt to
get blood out of a turnip. Now, how

condition than ever before

Henry Fritche arose and stated that
it would be two months before the city
election could be held and that he was
not in favor of putting the city to the
expense of holding an election in two

He took this actio despite the fact tina
the people of the village, by their vote,
had decided that they wanted to rid
the village Of its present odorous Off
ciaIs and elect in their places set of
clean city officials.
Fritche, in accordance with the pro-
gram that had been outlined in adj
vance. then moved that the date of the
election be postponed until the first
Tuesday in March. 1912. There was no
second to the motion and ii began TO
look as though Fritche was in the
minority. The motion was accordingly
lost for the want of a second.
Then John Giczewski stated that l.

moved that the date of the election

SELFISHNESS HIN DER S

THE following editorial clip
ped from a observation-disclosures
bulletin fits the case of this
community as we'll as hun
dreds of others where the self
ishness of the individual inter
feres with the cooperative
civic effort which is needed to
secure reasonable progress.
The article referred to says:
The prosperity of any city or
of any community cannot be
properly gauged without tax
ing into account the prosperity
of each and every one of the
citizens of that city or COM
munity.
Every resident has to do with
the prosperity of his communi-
.ty. His individual prosperity,
if he is prosperous, helps the
city to grow and advance; if he
is not prosperous he is dis
satisfied and a 'knocker' he
hinders the growth of a city
and therefore it follows that
the greater the number of pros
porous men and women of
which a city can boast, the
greater the progress of that
city. No citizen can be selfish
and care alone for his own in
dividual interest or the inter
est of a particular group or
class, without injuring other
individual groups or classes.
Selfishness and jealousy hinders
the growth of a community as
much or more than any other
single force. The first requisite
for successful community
development, is that personal
interest and personal jealous
les must not be allowed to
interfere with the interests of
the whole.
