THE CATHOLIC SCHOOL.

The Catholic School will open On Monday next. It is to be hald m the Church, the sanctuary having been screened off. No attempt will be made at proselytism, and children of nonCatholic parents will be even prohibited from attending during any religious instruction that may from time to time be given, except they have the express pesnussion m writing of both parents to remain during such instruction. It is unnecessary to say m O re on thin, as the character of Catholic Schools (Convents, Colleges, and Seminaries) ir well known, and the public generally, even non-Cathol.ics,. who know 1 them, have entire confidence m them. The instruction will be so arranged as tp suit, the various callings children may mtend to.iollowj jo -after lire,-, and, parents would do wclf-fo consult ,7rom titne to time the Rev/ Father Macmanus on those subjects to they wish to have their children's attention specially directed MissFlodd, who is to take charge ; of the school, is an exceedingly accomplished lady, having been brought upin the convent almost. from her inteupy* Although yonng, she has had -wide experience m school-management, . having ; taught in;. the convent for over srix years, the latter^ four of which were. devoted to ihe High School.

At aIF events neither time trouble nor expense will be, spared to advance tho children and give the parents, satisfaction. Further particulars can be had at the Presbytery.
