ton will begin Immediately on a new
home for Bishop John Ward of Leav-

threatened destruction of the present
home on March 20 and badly damaged
the chapel and library. 1t was as

| cided to build a new home.
Augustnians Purchase House.-The
Augustinian Fathers have purchased
a house in the vicinity of the Catholic
University which will be the nucleus
of a house of studies for that famous
Order. The new institution will be or
ganized before the beginning Of the
next scholastic year. Eventually it is
expected that the Augustinians will
erect building for their purposes at
the University as has already been
done by the Franciscans, Marists, Paul
lists, Dominicans and the Congregation
of the Holy Cross. Very Rev. John w.
versity of Notre Dame, will take
charge of the last institution, Holy
Cross College, as rector.

Rev. Daniel M. German, Bishop of
Boise, the Catholic boys of the Pro-
Cathedral and ST. Anthony parish at
Pocatello, Idaho, have been properly
registered, organized and affiliated
into regular troop of the National
Boy Scouts of America. Patrick j.
Phelan, city clerk, a returned soldier,
is the scout master. A troop commit
tee, composed of former commissioned
men of the regular army, will assist
him in the Boy Scout training school,
| The committee is planning on an en-
campment of one week at Bear Lake,
Ida, toward the end of August By
that time the patrol leaders will be
appointed and the boys will have
splendid opportunities to take up con-
siderable outdoor work, which means
stronger body, clearer and purer
mind and a more cheerful disposition.
Foreign Trade School of Georgetown.
because of the unusually large num-
Der of applications for admission to
the new foreign trade school, George
town University will materially en-
large this department for the forth
coming term and establish it on an en-
during basis. Because of the unprece-
denied interest in foreign trade, the
school was started largely in an ex-
detrimental way Immediately after the
war. Between four and five hundred
inquiries concerning it were received
shortly after it was established. The
number has increased very much
since, and the prospects are that it
will have an unusually large attend
ance when the scholastic year begins.
All subjects pertaining to foreign
trade are taught, the purpose of the
school being to fit students for con-
sular work or to represent American
business institutions abroad. Lam
guages, international law, foreign i'm
port regulations and business organi-
cation are among the subjects studied.
