Several Catholic bishops have invited
the Catholic Foreign Mission Society to
locate its proposed seminary in their dio-
ceses. Decision at present concerning
the location seems to lie between Boston
and Washington, with preferences in
| favor of the latter because of the uni
versity No decision has yet been
reached, however. and none will be until
the return from Rome of Rev. Thomas
F. Price, of North Carolina, and Rev.
James w. Walsh, of Massachusetts,, who
| went abroad last May to study mis-
sionary seminaries in Paris and Rome.
| The new society corresponds with the
| new extension society, the one foreign,
| the other home. Both are developments
| of a new Catholic life and responsibility
which have come with the making of
| the church in America independent of
/ the propaganda; that is, no longer mis-
/ sionary district, but an autonomous
| church. on the same basis as the Catholic
! Church in European countries American
! Catholics now give $500 900 a year TO
foreign missions, through the Society for
the Propagation of the Faith. with head
! quarters in France. There will be, ii is
! said. no prejudice to the work of that
great society, but cooperation with II
! by the new one. The proposed seminary
will be for the enlistment and training of
fields, without regard whether the society
itself supports them in those fields. 1t
is indeed. an effort to get from the
United States its contribution of mis-
sionaries to spread the gospel under
Catholic direction in all the world.
Tomorrow will be the fifteenth Sunday
after Pentecost and the feast of the
seven dolors of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

The opening Of St. Paul's School for
the fall term marks a new era in its
history. Heretofore the grades were
taught by sisters from the Academy of

of the school would thus be best pro-
NOTED, the sisters are now residents of
the parish, locating at l42 V street north
west.

The improvements in St Mary's Ger
