Show ST. MARY'S ACADEMY NOTES. The president and officers of St. Mary's Alumnae association met at the academy on Sunday last for the purpose pur-pose of arranging the program for their annual reunion, which is to take place on Nov. 6. These annual gatherings of the Alumnae are a source of genuine pleasure to Alma Mater. That true geniuses never die is fully emphasized by the students of St. Mary's Conservatory, where the immortal immor-tal Bach, Beethoven, Haydn, Mozart and Mendelssohn continue their lives of beautiful harmony and exquisite melody. A special course in dramatic reading and elocution has been announced. Thus, while the literary course is daily achieving success, and the arts and sciences receive ample recognition, the students in literature are trained in easy, graceful and forceful expression of thought and acquire keener and more intelligent discrimination,' together with rare analytical power. The First Academics glory in the cultivation of a "botanical garden" of their own device, where the students may read nature more perfectly from nature's own book, while the presence of the teacher facilitates this interesting interest-ing study by translating for them Dame Nature's obscured language. |
