held for the dead. At Calvary Gene
terry, st. Paul, the Most Reverend

both cemeteries the musical part of
the program was in charge of trained
choirs of seminarians. Cemetery
Sunday" was generally observed in
the different parishes of the Archdio-

brance to the souls of their departed
relatives and friends.

more than the corresponding period
last year.
The College authorities have just
published the results of the State
High School Examinations held in the
early part of the summer. The re-
suits were exceptionally gratifying to
teachers and pupils. Of the seven
ty-four papers in Chemistry not
a single failure was reported SINH
larly, of fifty-six papers in English
and of Twenty-Five papers in German
not one was marked failed" In
Senior German ninety per cent, and in
Solid Geometry eighty per cent OBJ
tanned the honor mark given by the
State High School Board, and in Chem
istry over seventy per cent of the
pupils won the same distinction. The
results in History, Physics, Political
Economy and other branches we're
almost equally gratifying.

them not to forget that even school

and that we all will be held account

every life that touches ours. The
