RELIGION. Each day carries one period of thirty minutes during which secular study ceases in every class to give place to Christian Doctrine.

At the same time they equip their students in- tellectually and physi- cally to take their posi- tions in life, according to their chosen careers. LIBRARY DIRECTION.
