-' After mass had been said this morn
ing, Father O'Hara In his welcoming
address reminded the teachers that they
had consecreated their lives to exem
plifying and teaching the principles of
right living. The reason for the exist
ence "of Catholic schools, he said, was
" .' " to assist in the formation of rnlight
ened conscience, the strengthening of
" th motives' of right living, and the
bringing of scholars to the realization
that no adequate motive for right living
existed apart from the teachings of re
ligion. . Owing to the fact that her trunks,
- which contained her notes, were delayed,
"fitter Loyola was lniaole to give hor
- scheduled address on "The Short Story"

I'lay," a subject that she had intended
, to speak on tomorrow.
Dr. Nicholson took up the subject.
"Language In the Grades," and in her

that teachers were too jrone to teach
