ENROLMENT IN ST, JOHNS NEW SCHOOL BEGINS WITH RUSH Over 800 Children Are Regis tered In SlavOnian ParOchiaI
 Institution Most Of Local ParOchiaI Schools Open Next Tuesday After
 Special Mass

Evidence of the appreciation of the parishioners of the s1avon1an Catholic l church of St: John of Nepomuk Jane and Brooks streets, of the new paro- I chia1 school, at Jane and Pembroke streets, was borne to the pastor, Rev. Andrew F. KoInara, in a striking man
 ner yesterday and today when the
 enrolment for the new school be-
 gan.
 | Already the number of children reg l fstered for attendance in the new paro- | choal school has passed the 800 mark, l and it is expected that as many as 1 100 more may be added before the school is thrown open on Tuesday next l This is greatly in excess of the antici- l patton of Father Konaara and the trus- | tees of the church, though the large 1 registration is doubIy pleasing to them, i showing as it does the general co-op-
 eration through the parish with the
 school enterprise.
 The school will be formally opened 1 next Tuesday morning, after the school
 children have attended a high mass 1 at St. Johns church, at 8:30. Father 1 Komara has asked the parents of the | parish to have their children approach
 the sacraments next Tuesday as f1t-
 ting manner of inaugural the
 school year and has requested that | the children offer their communions
 for the henefactors- of the school. 1 The children will receive instruc-
 ton at the hands of nine school sisters of the Congregation de Notre Dame
 The sisters have come from Baltimore and are now in the convent recently made through the renrod delling of a dwelling, opposite the church, and re gently purchased by the congrega- ton.
 The school will have ample accom-. modat1on for the registration, and it has been so constructed that accom-
 nodat1on may be provided for 800
 without difficulty change from the present construction. Naturally F'ath-
 CT Konara is deeply gratif1ed at the big registration.
 The school building. embodfes, besides
 the school rooms, club rooms, gynna-z siun, reading rooms and other fea- lures to make the building civic center, and thanks to the generosity of manufacturers and others who with the parishioners have taken interest in the work, it will soon be well equip men of the parish who have passed the school age, but who may desire to avail themselves of the education al and social advantages which Ftath- CT Komara's scheme has placed with in their reach. ]
