Bishop Rice in his talk spoke along
lines which the pupils could grasp, tell
ing them that there had been more
given them than an education. that
they had been training their will as
well as their minds and that the will
had been trained toward virtue and the
mind toward. education and that the
two must harmonic in order that the
best work may be turned out in their
lives. He said the recent censuses have
shown to the wise men that the lack
OF religious training is being felt
throughout the nation and that non
Catholic people are discussing the mat
ter, the censuses having shown an in
creasing number of persons who state
they have no religion. Religious in
struction should be taught in the
schools so that the mind may change,
but their will never changes, therefore
they should be properly trained when
the child is young. He told them they
should be grateful for the effort spent
on them and for the patience that has
been given each Of them by their par
ents as well as the sisters, who have
trained them and that now the reputa-
ton of the school was in their hands

the Berlin selectmen Thursday the
time seems to have arrived to find out
how much authority Montpelier has in
