dental schools made tour of inspec-
ton of the various schools in this |
country The following year two OF

versity for a postgraduate course in
dentistry. This year two more of his
graduates and future instructors have
come to represent the Nippon Dental
College of Toxic. Their names are
Kashiwagi Masac and Watal Tohyama,
both Doctors of Dental Surgery. The
reason for their presence seems obvi-
Gus. At least to one Japanese st.
Louis University presents itself as
just little better than the rest

sible and will have room for club pur-
poses.
| Plea for Louvain.--Stirred to renewed
activity by the message to the Amer
lean people of Cardinal Mercier, the
executive committee of the national
committee of the United States for the
restoration of the University of Lou
vain has issued in New York City a
nation wide appeal for contributions
to the 100000 fund. LAS a tribute
said the committees appeal, "to his
personal heroism during the war, this
| committee hopes to be able to assure
Cardinal MERCER, before he returns
to Belgium, that the fund has been
completed for the building and equip
ment of library for the University OF
Louvain, his alma mater, to take the
place of that destroyed by the invad
ing German armies in 1914"
The Mission Fire.-The cause of the
fire which destroyed the famous old
st. Mary's mission, Omsk, Wash, re
mains still undetermined. Early Sun
day morning, October 5, smoke was
seen issuing from the central tower
of the main building and in only a few
minutes the building was mass OIL
flames. So rapidly did the fire spread
that the Sisters were able to save
very little. At the time the fire was
discovered the boys were up anC
dressing for Mass so at the word from
Father Caldi, they marched out of the
building to safety. The people gath
cred for Mass, both Indians anC
whites, together with the older boys
and all of the Sisters, then set to work
to save the other buildings of the mis-
sion and succeeded in preventing the
spread of the fire.
Bishops Niece.-From the busy
world to the clustered walls of con
