lie Sueur Center: st. Mary's par
ochial school began the new term with
an enrolment of 140 pupils, an en-
larged teaching staff and course of
studies including the seventh grade.
This enlargement of it's scope was
made possible by the opening of the
new parochial school which has &C
commodation for two hundred pupils.
Since the beginning of the school
term in September the basement of
the church has been used for school
purposes.
Sleepy Eye: The new st. Mary's
school was opened for the admission
of pupils on January 5, although the
building is not entirely completed.
The school rooms, however, are COM
pletely finished and furnished. The
building will be opened for public in
spection the latter part of the month,
as soon as Mr.. Schwendinger, the
church decorator of New Ulm, finishes
the curtains and scenery for the stage
in the auditorium. On that occasion
a play, "Pontia," will be given by the
children of the school. At present
there are three hundred children en-
rolled and in charge of seven Sisters
of st. Francis. High school work was
begun last September.
Owing to the fact that the building
was not completely finished at the
time of the opening, the formal dedi-
cation was postponed to a latter date.
1t will probably take place in May.
St. Mary's school contains ten class
rooms, a large library or club room,
a rest room for the teachers, and a
spacious auditorium. In the basement
there are several large well-lighted
rooms which will serve as a gymnas-
ium and play rooms for the children
and meeting places for the parish soci-
cites. The building is heated from "a
central plant, has modern ventilat-
ing system and vacuum cleaning sys-
tenn. The plans were drawn by archi-
tect E. J. Donahue of St. Paul, and the
general contractor was Otto Neitge of
Mankato. A J. Potts and Co., of St.
Peter, installed the heating plant,
which serves the school, church and
Sisters residence. The lighting and
vacuum systems were installed by the
Sleepy Eye Light Plant. The construc-
ton work was superintendent by Mi
chael Seidl, member of the parish.

Gated on the site formerly occupied by
the old church which was built about
twenty-five years ago--five years after
the parish was organized.
The Altar society had entire charge
of the work which has been brought
to a successful completion and the new
edifice is a fitting memorial to their
untiring efforts. The officers of the
organization are: Mrs. Falter, presi-
den; Mrs. Simmer, secretary; and Mrs.
O'Hara, treasurer The directing and
supervising committee of the under
taking was composed of Mesdames
Birder, Dougherty and O'Hara. The
church was designed by Contractor
Herwick.
Lidaerwood: The new parochial
school building in st. Boniface's par
ish is nearly completed. Father Duerr
states that he expects to have the
opening about the goth of January.
The Sisters of the Presentation from
Fargo will take charge of the new
school.

FIRST MEXICAN NEWSPAPER
THE "GAcETA De MEXICO" WAS
FIRST ISSUED ON JANUARY j..
1722-EDlTED BY A PRIEST -,
OTHER MEXICAN PAPERS "A
CATHOLIC DAILY AS EARLY AS
1905.

The "Gaceta de Mexico" the first
newspaper published in Mexico, Janu-
airy /, 1922, was edited by priest,
Rev. J. Ignacio Maria de Castorena,
Another priest-editor was Rev. Jose
Antonio Alzate, who published the
''Diario,' in Mexico, in 1853, and
whose files are yet veritable ency-
clopedia. And Mexico had its Catho-
lie daily in the "Diario de Mexico"
as early as 1906, and it flourished
until 1916. Before that unhappy coun-
try was dismembered and given over
to anarchy it's daily, Eel TEMPO" with
it's illustrated Sunday edition, was
equal to anything we have here today,
and it was a staunch supporter of
Catholic interests and had large cir
culation.
The Catholics of the United States
have been satisfied with their weekly
and diocesan papers, all of which,
however, have not been successful
from business standpoint. From
Father Gabriel Richards first efforts
in Detroit in 1909, followed by Bishop
England's Catholic Miscellany" in
Charleston, from 1922 to 1861, to the
present day, something like $50 Cath
olic papers have seen the light, and of
all those published during the first
half of the nineteenth century but FIVE
now survive.

DIOCESE OF DULUTH.

Duluth: The Rev. P. J. Lydon has
compiled History of the Diocese of
Duluth" which was issued on the occa-
sion of the twenty-fifth anniversary of
Bishop McGolrick's conservation which
was celebrated last week. 1t forms an
attractive volume of ninety-fVe pages
in which Father Lydon tells the inter
esting story of the early missionaries
in Northern Minnesota, prior to the
erection of the Diocese of Duluth in
1889; sketches the life of Bishop Nc
Golrick and his labors for the spirit
ual and material welfare of his people
since his arrival in Duluth on January
8, $780, and traces the growth and
development of Catholicity in the city
of Duluth and in all the parishes and
missions of the Diocese The final
chapters are devoted to the work of
the Sisters of st. Benedict and to a
sketch Of the career and labors Of the
Crookston who, for twenty-one years,
was pastor of the Cathedral of the Sa,
cred Heart, Duluth.
The compilation of this volume re-
quired no small amount of careful re-
search on the part of the author and
the accuracy with which the historical
details are set forth shows the care
with which this labor of love
was performed. 1t is written in a
pleasing and graceful style and de-
serves the widest publicity among all
who are interested, not only in the his
tory of the Diocese of Duluth as such,
but in the wider field of American
Catholic history of which that of Min
nesota forms very important part
We congratulate Father Lydon on the
success of his initial effort and be.

which it deserves from the Reverend
Clergy and Catholic people for whom
it was especially prepared.

Rotterdam via London, May l6.-
Information which has just reached
here from across the frontier shows
that the Germans during the last three
days have made further determined
efforts to hack their way into Ypres at
all costs, but their losses have been
terrible. A sudden advance OF the Al
lies to the north in the nelghborhood
Of Steenstraete and Het Sas has some
what relieved the pressure on the 81.
Julien-Ypres road, where some bitter
haud-to-hand fighting took place on
Friday on a small section of the front.
Here the Germans made another effort
TO break through on an even more
contracted section.
At lngermunster troops are still be
ing concentrated. and it Is stated that
two more 42-ccntimetre guns have
been set up near Dixmude during the
week. The greatest concentrations
have taken place at Courtrai, Journal.
Roulers and Deynze, the last named
being a new centre midway between
Client and Courtai. with important
railway communications north, west
and south.
Tremendous energy has also been
thrown into the further fortlhcat!op Of
