(By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WESTPORT, 15th February. The new St. Joseph's School, costing £6500, was opened to-day by Archbishop O'Shea, in the presence of a large gathering of the public. His Grace stressed the need for an education with a religious basis, to the absence o£ which he attributed in no small measure the economic and other ills from which the world is suffering j, to-day.
Father Phelan, parish priest, announced that the school was being opened free of debt, which led Mr. H. E. Holland, M.P., later to remark in his address that that was all the more remarkable seeing that "every one of us and the country is in debt."
His Grace was presented by tho con factors with a golden key.
