They have a quarter of a mile of improvements and are building and improving another quarter. •' Good enough •' is not sufficient for the " Greater Glory of God," our old Jesuit confessor once said to us ; an I the heroic three in cnarge here seem to live up to that motto. Tney have three hundred Btudents, seventy boarders, and about one hundred aiid forty belonging to the Independent School.
