to Europe. His experience on board the
steamers, trains, and sight seeing convey
ances were as interesting as the sights and
cities visited were instructive. He had
folders and guide books, maps, etc, which
were used to make clear his location and
description of places. All enjoyed the
talk very much.
We notice by the Cape Girardeau RePE6-
Hean under date of March I4th, that the
taxpayers have petitioned the Board of Ed
ucation not to reduce the tax from 90 to IS
cents on the hundred dollars valuation as
the board had contemplated, but that they
should leave it 90 cents and use the addi-
tional funds for the betterment of the public
school system, that the teachers may be
paid better salaries; that the buildings be
put in better sanitary condition, ETC., the
Fairgrounds be enlarged, more property
p~urchared for buildings. Cape Girardeau
has good schools and although they are
costing them more than twice as much as
we are paying here, they do not want the
tax reduced but the standard raised. Iron
ton can have good schools and better than
she now has witeout making near the tax
that Cape Girardeau does. There ISM
anything too good for the Ironton boys and
girls. They must have the same opportu-
nifty as the boys and girls of other towns OF
else we send them into the battle of life
without an equal opportunity to succeed,
I~ronton needs a first-class up-to-date pub
lie high school, and we can have it.

Mother nj. j. Rose.

In hundreds of hearts among the
former students and friends of the
Arcadia College, there was a
thrill of genuine sorrow when the
word went forth, IN Friday, March
22d, that Mother M. Rose is dead:
not sorrow for her sake, for all
knew that she had fought the good
fight, and was entitled to the
crown of glory. Mother M. Rose
was in the sixty-tifth year of her
age, and in the forty eighth year
of her Religious Profession.
She, with a little band of relig-
ious came to the Arcadia Valley
in 1877. Like other PIONEERS in
the founding of institutions des-
tined to possess great influence
for good, the little colony had to
pass through the ordeal of priva-
tons before realizing the SAN
guine expectations of it's generous
founders, The Rt. Rev. j. j. Hem
messy, Bishop of Wichita, Kan
sas, and the late Rt. Rev. Mgr. H.
Muehlsepen, ". G..
Mother M. Rose was the frs
Superioress, and for many years
she held the position of Directres'
of studies. She was one of thu
ablest musicians, mathematicians
and teachers in the Order. and hel
loss was keenly felt Arcadia.
If ever death was robbed of sad
ness, it is in the case of a re-
ligious, for to them it comes as
the contamination of a sacrifice,
hence it has something of a
triumph about it.
Thus it is while the death o.
Mother M. Rose is mourned, yet il
is as n who has gone before, one
whom we are to meet again. AT
ter the Requiem Mass, which wa
sung by the Rev. Lie. Wernert
the remains were laid away in thu
Convent Cemetery.
