Szolal was released from the county

Indiana Harbor yesterday morning. One Hundred and Seventy-three of the clas were boys and 141 girls.

The bishop arrived the evening before via the Nickel Plate from Ft. Wayne, and was met at the Hammond depot by Fathers John Wakefer and Stachowlak in an auto. They were brought to Father Stachowlak's residence where supper was served. Bishop Alerdlng remaining over night as the guest of Father Stachowlak. Previous to the ceremonies at the

church the children who were to be confirmed, and the rest of the school children, together with the members of the church societies, met at the school and marched from there to the parochial residence where they were met by the bishop and priests who were to assist In the morning's ceremonies. From there they went to the church where high mass was sung by Father Stachowiak's assistant. Father Kaprlnski.

Bishop Alerdlng preached an impressive sermon and in which he complimented Father Stachowiak on the big

alns ln his parish, praised the new

parochial residence and showed great satisfaction generaly with al lthat Is

being acomplished in this parish. After mass he conducted the Episcopal Visitation and then the sacrament

of confirmation was conferred. Peter

Grzankowski acted as sponsor for the boys and Mrs. Zltelna for the girls. After this ceremony which concluded at one o'clock, the procession marched back to the house, where the children gave a short program, and following

this dinner was served. The priests who were present and assisted in the confirmation were Fathers Wakefer of Indiana Harbor, Budnik of East Chicago, William Miller of Ft.

SCHOOL IS

EDICATED

bishop was to speak. The visiting clergymen all had seats within the sanctuary. Bishop Alerdlng took "Education" as his theme telling of the necessity to render substantial support to the school. He extolled church education over secular education, saying that the latter was all right as far as it went, but It did not go far enough. A purely religious education Is not sufficient, no more is a purely secular one, contended the speaker. The best education, according to the speaker, was one that

combined both these .elemnts or training. The bishop paid high tribute to Father Lauer and the good work he is doing in East Chicago, and exhorted his people to work with him. Following the address the congregation, headed by the clergymen, filed

out of the church and over to the

school building, standing outside while

the simple ceremony of blessing the

structure, both outside and in sprink

ling the walls with holy water, was performed by the bishop, accompanied

by the priests present.

present Father H. M. Plaster and hlj

two assistants. Rev. Bodina and
