The Menace.
Of all the methods of the Ro
manists to cripple and destroy the
public school system by impairine
iss efficiency, mono is more eff Ct
i've than the prevention of the
erection of buildings adequate fol
aecomodat:on of all pupils. This

tiouists on boards of educstion, the
difficulties interposed by Romlsh
city officials IN the obtaining Of
building permits, and the raiding
Of school fupds by Romish ifree~
hooters. A fair example # these
tactics is found in the action of

more than u.Ually satisfactory.
One reason f~r she crowded condi
tion over .here is because of the
transferenos of class sfrom the
pAroohial school into Jarvis street.
This was done by the deslre of the
parents. because out Of class of
nearly forty, ranging in ages from
elk TO tel. years, that has been to
the parochial school over two
ysars, not one can read a word Of
anything intelligeLtly. and the
parents desire that they shall come
TO . school where they will be
taught in the proper way. The
teachers in the parochial school
have been young girls and h rs
from 3 grade equal to the seve th
grade in St Msry's Home that
have been employed as extra
teachers over there, and their own
crowded condition was such that
it was impossible to properly take
care of the children. They are
perfectly happy in that school,
only they mourned for their pupils
that have gone out into other
schools, and she teachers cry be
cause they vast their children
back hese. By building more
rooms this could ha accomplished.
