ST. JOSEPH’S COLLEGE TO START NEXT WEEK

Attendance Will Be About 300, Exceeding Last Year By Thirty or More—Gymnasium Done. Students from St. Joseph’s college will begin to arrive next Tuesday, Sept. 7th, the day set for new scholars to register. It is expected that about 85 new scholars will arrive on that day. On the following day the old scholars will come in and school will open on Thursday, Sept. 9th. The attendance this year will readh about 300, being from 30 to 40 more than last year. This is made possible by the accommodations established for caring for an increased number. The completion of the gymnasium will afford great satisfaction to the pupils, who have been denied the advantages of a gym for the past year and a half. The building is practically finished. The new science course will not be started until about the 15th of November. In the gymnasium is one of the finest basketball floors in the State and St. Joe, which has always had a great basketball team, will probably enter training early and develop another fine team. All will be pleased to see the' students arrive and will make things lively at St. Joe after a very quiet summer.
