into three hours of class work in
the morning, two in the afternoon.
Aside from normal grade school
subjects, a great deal of emphasis
is placed on craftwork. The Sis
ters have learned that the retard-
ed youngsters are able to grasp the
simple mechanics of many crafts
and get a great deal OF satisfaction
and pleasure from doing so. They
are taught sewing, weaving, car
pet making on looms, knitting,
crocheting and tatting. Those who
show any ability in music are Civ

The children are permitted TO
remain in the school once they are
accepted until they have progress
ed TO the point where they can
have a semblance of normal life
in their own homes again, or until
/. IL is clear that the child has ceas-
ed TO progress.
The childrens' medical needs
are taken care of at the present
time by Newark physician. There
are no facilities at the school for
a clinic.
The schools farm provides the
children and Sisters with enough
food According to Sr. Roseanne,
III would be impossible to oper-
ate the school without the farm.
The small tuition charged would
never cover our needs"
Efforts are being made now to
raise funds to finance an expan-
sion program al Our Lady of Mer-
cy. There are so many children
who need the care that can be Civ

but it is simply impossible to take

These opportunities are given
the children in an atmosphere of
Joy and confidence that stimulates
their best efforts. The Sisters
hope TO make them useful units in
society.
Applications for admittance TO
the school are accepted for girls
between the ages of six and four
teen years who have an lQ. of 40
or above. The children live at the
school nine months of the year
and follow a regular academic pro
gram of studies. AT the present
time, facilities are limited to the
thirty students now enrolled at the
school, plus three day students.
Hundreds of applications are re-
ceiyed each year, but the Sisters
are forced TO turn them down be-
cause under the present circum-
stances they are unable to care
for additional children.
Our Lady of Mercy Mission was
opened on the Feast of the AS
sumption, 1881 The following year,
on September II, Our Lady of
Mercy opened its doors as pri-
vate school to the children of New
ark and the surrounding areas
Two classrooms were opened with
an enrolment of nine pupils. The
Sisters wanted TO give all neces-
sary individual attention TO girls
of elementary and junior high
school age and provide them with
sound training and practice in fun
damental, moral and religious
principles.
In 194l, in view of the rising
need for help for the mentally re-
tarded a new undertaking, name
/ ly Special School for Girls was
organized as separate unit at the
request OF the late Bishop Hart
ley. Glasses were held simultan'
eously without interference in the
normal and special programs. Five
girls were enrolled for the special
classes that first year.
In September, l943, when the
enrolment in the special program
had jumped to Is girls, Our Lady
of Mercy was opened for the re
tarded children only. Seven Sis
ters devoted their time and ener
gy to this self-sacrifice Today min,
Sisters care for the thirty residen
students and three day pupils.
The children begin each day b,
attending Mass. As Sister Nj
Roseanne, school administrator
expressed il - "They have to liv
