the men of St. Mary's parish was ap.

the feasibility of building parochial
school. After much painstaking in.
vestigation the committee has report
ed that Catholic school is positive
necessity in the parish and that with
out imposing undue burdens upon the
parishioners it can be built within the
period of one year. They recommend
a standard four-room building with all
modern equipment at cost of $4,000
as best suited to the needs of the
parish. With this they estimate that
a suitable residence for the teaching
Sisters will cost $4,000 and that the
whole educational plant can be main

are well pleased with the thorough
and conscientious work of the commit,
