turn of a large number of former
pupils and the application of great
many new ones brings the registration
to date, this year, away beyond that
of former years. The usual series of
recitals will be given during the fall
and winter and everything is being
done to maintain high standard in
all the departments.

classes are held weekly and all the
pupils should be in attendance that
they may begin their different classes
on time.

school of St. Luke, st. Paul, opened
last Tuesday with the roll of pupils
considerably increased over that of
the opening day last year. A special
effort is being made this year to make
of this an ideal Catholic grade school

to the teachers of the grades, new
principal who supervises the work of
the entire school. This increases the
number of teaching Sisters to nine. A
graded course of singing has been ar
ranged, each Sister teaching the pu-
pills of her class to sing by note. Be-
sides this, Professor l.. G. Bruenner
will have charge of course in hymns
and church music giving instruction
for two hours each week. Another
lay teacher is employed to oversee the
instruction given in reading and the
art of expression. The three priests
of the parish will give a graded
. course in Christian Doctrine. The
building is finely appointed and has
been thoroughly equipped during va
