School and Hospital.
Since the establishment of the school
it's teaching force has consisted largely
OF school sisters. For nine years the high
er boys classes were in charge Of male
teachers who at the same time were en-
gagged as organists. They were: Phil.
schoenung, Aug. Mengelkamp, Math.
Endres, F. A. Boyer and Heinrich Often
bacher. At present there are SIS child
rem attending the school. They receive
their instructions in ten different classes.
After the cyclone of 1881 Father
Berghold made up his mind to build a
hospital. At first it was only small
undertaking. Six sisters arrived on
Oct. %, 1884, from Fort Wayne, Ind.
They took care of the nine patients that
were in the small institution. But soon
the number Of the patients increased
making the building of additional space
necessary. Sister Superior Flavia came
to New Ulm in 1898 and it was through
her initiative that the new Lorettc
hospital was built. The new building
was dedicated June Is, 1913. It's cost
is $74,422.
Anew Congregation.
The steady growth of the congrega-
ton has made it advisable to think OF
separating one part of it from the mother
church and organizing new parish in
the southern part of the city. Years
ago the need of another church in New
Ulm was felt and the souvenir book
says that the division Of the parish should
