ARCHDIOCESE of ST. PAUL

forum last Monday evening. The en-
cellent program provided for the occa-
sion attracted an audience which over
taxed the seating capacity of the hall
and testified to the careful training
which enabled the children to acquit
themselves so creditably. The minims,
the mixed chorus, and the Cathedral
choristers, under the direction OF Rev.
T. r.. Talbot of the Cathedral stan,
gave very pleasing renditions of their
respective parts. The principal feature
of the program was an operetta in four
acts entitled, Princess SnoW-Whlte
and the Seven Dwarfs.' The roomy
stage lent itself admirably to the
presentation of this fairy tale and in
expression and action those who took
the principal parts made q hit with
the audience The Very Reverend T..
J. Gibbons, pastor of the Cathe-
dral, conferred the diplomas on
fifty-fVe graduates of the eighth
grade and Palmer Method certificates
on three, after which he complimented
them on their success and expressed
would be enrolled in the school next
year. During the evening the orchestra
from St. Agatha's Conservatory of
Music rendered several selections and
Miss Mary f. Downey acted as accom-
PIANIST.

of topics. William J. OMalley spoke

ed sentences and rounded periods were
received with enthusiasm. In the es-
say on Saint John Baptist De La
Sale" Bernard A. Fuchs brought to
light the fact that education today is
indebted to this Saint for most of what
we call Modern Methods" of teach
ing. He said modern writer's on the
History of Education do not give the
founder of the Christian Brothers
credit for the pioneer work he per-
formed in his day.
