Tlie sad news comes from Mount Clemens. Mich., that Sister Mary Car-dos. Car-dos. former directress of Logan avenue 'school, is ranidly nearing her death. In August, lf00. Sister Mary Carlos was given charge of the school when Sister Noiasco's failing health necessitated her ! removal to other fields. Up to that 'time she had had complete charge of !the High school department, which she brought to a standard enjoyed by no other parochial school in tlie. west. As director she was equally successful, until she fell a victim to her zeal last April. For months she threatened to' succumb to nervous prostration, but a change of altitude last July worked; wonders for her. The improvement was not permanent and last .month she again began to fail. The last, sacraments sacra-ments were administered last week. Her large circle of friends, particularly j her former pupils, are praying earnestly for her recovery. |
