Vile. The college will open on Mon.

Parents and guardians who have the
interest of their boys and wards at
heart should earnestly consider the
claims of the rejuvenated st. Jo-

ton will be furnished by communi-

DIRECTOR at St. Joseph's College,
Bardstown, Ky.
The Xaverians are not unknown in
Kentucky. In fact the congregation
in America is indigenous to its soil,
and its ranks have been largely re-
crufted from this State. Rev.
Brother Isidore, who is head of the
order in America, was born and
raised in Louisville. The late Illus
trious Archbishop Spalding, when
Bishop of Louisville, was instru-
mental in bringing the first colony
of Xaverians to America. For over
half century they have labored for
the moral betterment and in
tellectual, improvement of the youth
of Louisville and vicinity. Their
alumni are found in every walk of
life, faithful to the interests of their
alma mater, which are but a counter
part of those of holy mother church.
st. Joseph's College will have
three departments-the academic,
the commercial and the collegiate,
The course of studies has been
adapted to the standards proposed
by the Catholic Educational Associa-
ton. In each department the study
of Christian doctrine will be most
important feature. English, Latin,
history, mathematics, grammar,
German, drawing, elocution, physics,
Greek and French will be embraced
in the academic course.
In addition to the aforenamed
studies the commercial department
will include civil government, book
keeping. photography, typewriting,
commercial law and penmanship. To
all these the collegiate course will
add chemistry, biology, astronomy
and zoology. The young man who
finishes the courses at st. Joseph's
will be we'll prepared to meet the
world.
At present there are four buildings
on the college property. The main
building will contain residence for
the faculty, reception rooms, dining
rooms, play halls and bath and toilet
rooms for the students. Separate
from the main building is a three
story structure which has been
fitted up for class rooms, study
halls, library and reading rooms.
This building is to be known as
Flaget Hall. "A large and beautiful
chapel is in the course of erection,
likewise a commodious kitchen.
All the buildings have been thor
oughly renovated and changes made
suitable to the times. A plant to
heat the buildings by steam has been
Installed, the boiler room separate
from the other buildings, while
electric lights, plunge and shower
baths have been added. Beyond
doubt st. Joseph's will be the best
equipped and most up-to-date educa-
tional institution for boys in the
State, perhaps in the entire South.
