the Federal and State Constitutions,
has been given at st. Joseph's for
several years and is apart from the
regular class work. 1t is prepared
from advanced college work by the
donor of the prize
The questions are given to the class
at the beginning of the school year;
the purpose of the course is to inspire
the pupil to make thorough study of
the Constitution of our nation and
state. When we take into account that
st. Joseph's is a grade school, and
the work done in this most important
subject. we may feel assured that the
educational work of our Catholic
schools is not eXcelled by any similar
institution of learning in the United
States. st. Joseph's school was opened
thirty-nine years ago, by the Sisters
of st. Benedict who have brought it
to the high state of, efficiency it has
attained.
On Tuesday, June 3, the pupils of
St. Joseph's school were the guests of
the schools friends at picnic at Oak
Park in Fargo. At $50 a. m. the
street car company placed two cars
at the disposal of the Sisters and
pupils to take them to the park, where
a most enjoyable outing for everybody
was had. The ladies served lunch.
Through the kindness of the street car
people cars awaited the picnickers at
4:30 p. m. to return them to their
homes. The Reverend pastors and
Sisters are grateful to all who con-
tributed to the successful outing of the
school children.
