1t will be forty-tour years next
spring when a little band OF Bene-
dictine sisters settled in Nauvoo ana
established ST. Mary's academy. FOR
several years these good sisters nao
a difficult time to make their enter
prise pay, but they struggled oraveiy
on, and conditions changed rr tne
better and the original building was
taxed beyond its capacity by the mum
Der of boarding pupils coming to TINS
school from all quarters of the globe,
and it was determined to erect a
main building to the academy. 1t Is
now is it always has been. one or the
grandest institutions in Illinois or any
other state in the union. IN lSVo
Kieran came to Nauvoo and promised
great things for this generous ana
noble band of sisters. He was going
to build an interurban line from Fort
Madison to Nauvoo at once and an N
stitute for boys. The Spalding insu-
tute was built, but Nauvoo is. still
waiting for the interurban line. Had
these good sisters insisted on the
electric railway being constructed be-
fore any other enterprise had been
undertaken for them it would have
been built and in operation before the
panic Of the year 1907 struck this
country, and 1t would have been one
of the best paying lines for the same
number of miles that has been run
ming anywhere in this grand land OF
ours. 1t would have saved the sisters
much embarrassment and anxiety In
the financial world, increased the at
tendance OF their school for girls and
they would have been in position
to build a school for boys later on.
1t has been reported several times
that these splendid sisters intended
leaving Nauvoo, but SO far nothing
has come OF it and every loyal citi-
zen hopes that it never win. On the
other hand, Nauvoo people hope that
they will remain among us to cele-
brate their golden jubilee. which oc-
ours in the year 1924, and all the
graduates who are living since Its es-
be present and make It
an ccasion of great rejoicing and hap
piness.
