4 J, 27-1 , . I -.. T .,,f9,'i - lf' THE SISTERS OF SAINT IOSEPIS The Sisters of St. Joseph comprise an order that had its beginning in France in the year l650. Still flourishing in European countries for nearly three hudnred years, it was not until the year 1836 that these excellent Sisters, with their power for good, came to America. ln that year six Sisters of the Order came from France and opened their first institution, in the village of Carondelet, which is now within the corporate limits of St. Louis, and for these eighty years the Mother house of the Order has remained here. The Superior General, who is the present Mother General of the Sisters of St. Joseph in the United States, resides in the Mother House in St. Louis. From the humble start made by these six Sisters, the Order has grown to a membership of more than two thousand. The noble deeds and influence for good of our Sisters, extend from ocean to ocean, and from the Great Lakes to the Gulf. Their field of activity has grown from the small beginning until now they conduct successfully one hundred and fifty-eight schools, ten hospitals, seven charitable institutions and two deaf mute schools, one in St. Louis and the other in California. The course of Studies, in the various schools, ranges from the kindergarten up to and including collegiate courses. The high schools and colleges are affiliated with the various State Universities and other schools of equal rank. , The Order in this country is divided into five provinces, each under the general government of the central house. The central houses are located, one in St. Louis, which controls fifty houses or separate institutions, one in St. Paul, which is the oldest of the Provincial centers and has thirty-six housesg one in Los Angeles with its sixteen houses, and one in Georgia. The most southern house is located in Mobile, Alabamag the northern are those in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Minnesota, while thoes in the East and West extend from the shores of the Pacific to the shores of the Atlantic.

fs? SCHOLARSHIPS AND WRIST WATCHES Betty Barker threw herself down on the little blue bed in her dainty little room and stared at the ceiling, with the tiniest of frowns between her eyebrows. Betty's graduation day was drawing near, and how she wanted a wrist watch for the customary graduation gift! But the wrist watch depended on her winning the scholarship. I want that wrist watch and I'll get it. Betty Barker, you're going to win that scholarship. Do you understand? Oh, gee! I want that wrist watch. I do. I+- lVlother! Mother!
