25 YEARS A
TEACHER.
Twenty-five years is a long time to
serve continually as a teacher. That is
the record of Sister Mary Jurvasia, of
the Sisters's Academy of this city, the
silver anniversary of the popular sister
superior of the school occurring yester
day. It was an occasion for rejoicing,
and the event was celebrated in a jubi
lee last evening, attended by a large
number of the friends of the school. A
program in keeping with the occasion
was presented, the feature of it being
the presentation by the ladies of the
church of a complete silver service for
use in the school, to Sister Superior
Jurvasia. Those present were partic
ularly favored in the solos of Miss
Flynn, a member of the Cathedral choir
oi Portland, here on a visit with her
brother.
Sister Jurvasia began teaching at
Gervais Dec. 8, 1883 and before coming
to Albany also taught at Portland, Mt.
Angel, Oregon City and Grande Konde.
She is a native of the U. S.. havintr
been born in Illinois. With its splend.di
annex and facilities for work the school
promises to become the leading institu
tion ot tne Kind in the state outside ot
Portland.
The Weather.
Range of temperature 55-32. Quite a
drop occurred during the night, which
must have been a surprise to the Port
land office predicting rain.
The river is 2.1 feet.
Prediction fair tonight and Thursday.
