At tbo present timo only a little
past tho foundation of tbo build

now building might bo occupied
aftor tho holidays by tho largo
numbor of pupils that are now
awaiting its completion.
The St. J-iouis uollego was
nevor so pushed for room as it is
at tho presont tirao, and it was
doomed best to put up a building
at onoo ao that tho many calls
might be, to somo oxtout at least,
satisfied.
Brothor Bertram was aeon this
morning in regard to the new
building aud stated that ho did
not euro to say much about it. Ho
gavo tbo dimensions as 50x40 and
said that it was to bo built accord
ing to tbo latest and most approv
ed methods.
It was learned, however, that
the school would bo entirely dis
tinct from St. Louis College not
withstanding tho fact that it
would be started as a froo depart
inont of tho institution montionod.
