ALL HALLOWS. COLLEGE
t w-- m ill f
Is Salt Lake C'itv has ever held its own
in the maintenance of. model educational
institutions, and inferior to none of
these 5laud3 All Hallows college, a
school for hoys. Although tho college
was built to meet the wants oi' Catho
lic parents in this section of the coun
try, by offering them fur their children,
a 'convenient access ios the advantages
of a good sound education, pupils of all
religious dcnomiuacions arc extended
the privilege of sharing; the educational
beneliis to be received.
During tho twenty years of its ex
istence. All Hallows has made for itself
nn enviable rocord. It has always boon
its aim to develop true men, and'honcst,
progressive citizens. The college wan
founded bv the Hi. "Row Bishop Scan
Ian in 18SG. About four years after its
i'oundiug the Marist Fathers, a tench-
ing order who regard education as one
of their principal objects, assumed con
trol. Tho wise policy of the new re
gime has accomplished much in the im-
f rbvemonf, of tho school,and brought it
o what it is today, an institution that
is a credit to the State and a monument
to our progress.
The college maintains three higher
courses, tho commercial, the scientific
and the classical. Besides these three
advanced courses there aro minim and
primary courses for beginners, and the
academic courses which aro preliminary
to the higher courses.
Those whose financial circumstances
constrain thorn in a desire or a liboral
education may here find their wants
treated with the utmost consideration,
the cost of a thorough course being
merelv nominal.
At' tho cost of fully $100,000 tho
school erected three- years ago a large
building with sixty additional rooms
(or the accom moduli on of tho annually
increasing number of pupils who attend
tho school. The sludv halls aro spa
cious and cheerful., and the halls, dor
mitories, bathrooms and dining-rooms,
well ventilated and lighted by elec
tricity and healed by steam throughout.
All possible precautions against fire
have been taken, each flo(or lacing -ro
vided with hose conoction and chemi
cal extinguishers, and tho fire escapes
extend from each story lo tho ground.
Great attention is paid lo athletics !
and gymnastics, thus insuring i,)io stu
dents a physical as well a3 a mental
training. Thero is a new and well
equipped gymnasium with special classes
daily under tho supervision of a skilled
trainer.

Jred patients have passed through that
Institution In the twelve months Just
ended, and the hospital capacity has
boon taxed to accommodate them, as tho
average Is 125 a month, and Micro are
only 110 cols.
In addition to Its regular patients, the
hospital treated 131 free In 1907. The
Institution has been ovcrllowlng through
out the year, according to Superintendent
John Wells.
Tho nursing force, which was Increased
from necessity, numbers forty-three.
Thero are twenty physicians and sur
geons on tho staff, Including two house
3iirgcons. There are six graduate
nurses.
Improvements reaching $10,000 havrj
been made. Tho hospital now is equipped
with a new dormitory for tho house help.
Tho dormitory, which was placed on top
of the laundry, is two stories high and
fireproof
The hospital proper Is of brick and
stone, fireproof, and with tho equipment
represents an outlay of a quarter of a
million dollars. It Is five stories high.

It is unlikely that tho "Reformed
church in America will ever loso the
affectionate title "tho Dutch church,"
which is given it by its in em bom and
friends. Tho popular namo is a recog
nition of tho fact that the denomination
was founded by early Dutch settlers in
this country, who planted their first
church "in" the fort" on the lower end
of Manhattan island in 1828. But tho
"Dutch church" is no longer Dutch.
Even tho adjective was dropped from
tho official title a generation or two
ago, and although a later omigrution
from Holland, bringing with it a love
for the established church of tho niothor
country, was instrumental in planting
tho Roformod church in America among
Urn settlements of Michigan, Illinois,
Iowa and tho Dnkotas. And although
services in tho Holland language are
to this day conducted in those recent
colonies, in tho East, where tho
strength of tho denomination lies, the
church is Dutch in nothing except tho
popular name.
in its form of government this do
nomination is closelv akin to the sev
eral Presbyterian bodies, and from thorn
it differs very little in creed. It is
theroforo natural that its ministry
should bo to somo extent, recruited from
Presbyterian sources, and it is therefore
that Ini! anomaly is presented of a
Dutch church which recruits some of its
leaders from the Scottish peninsula, i
where PresbylerianitHii predominates.
Foremost among theso leadors is tho
Rev. Dr. Donald Sago Mackay, who has
been for several years pnstor of tho Si.
Nicholas Collegiate Reformed church of
New York City, tho linonl successor of
tho original Dutch church on Manhat
tan island. Dr. Mackav came to Now
York from Newark, N. j., where ho had
successful!' filled a pastorate in a Re
formed church, and in tho -ulpit of
which he has been succeeded by a Pres
byterian from tho South, tho Rev. Dr.
Tames I. Vauco. Dr Mackay's leader
ship in tho denomination has thrco cspo
cial cansos: His pastorate of the most
important Reformed church in tho
country; his personal charm, which en
dears him to all tho men of the Re
formed churches; and the ability and
cleverness with which ho succeeded in
gathering rfbout him somo of the fore
most people of tho country in point of
influenco and wealth. Two of his par
ishioners, are, for instanco. Mrs. Rus
sell Sage and Miss Helen Miller Gould.
Two vcars ago Dr. Mackay received
the higlicst honor in tho gift of the
Dutch church. He was mado president
of the general synod of that denomin
ation, presiding vwith unusnal ability
over tho deliberations of that body. It
was an unusual session of tho general
synod, for thero wcro two complicated
legal cases to bo tried. Ono involved
ono of tho Hollaud pastors of the West,
and tho other a minister of northern
New York State. Somo time after tho
synod adjourned Dr. Mackay said that
tho presidency carried with it unpleas
ant reminders. For one of the min
isters had Hued him, and tho other had
taken ovon a worse course he was con
stantly writing him letters.
Dr. Mackay is in constant demand,
not only in the East, but all over tho
country, as a speaker at religious and
social gatherings. No one in America
has a fund of funny Scotch stories quite
equal to his, and there is hardly a pub
lic speaker who can more effectively
impress his auditors with a serious con
viction. Personally, ho is of tho florid.

LARGEST
HOSPITAL
Tho Holy Cross Ilospkad, located on
First South between Tenth and Elcv- '
enth East streets is one of the moat - i I
worthy institutions in Salt Lako Citv. '.
Established and conducted by the Cath- !
olic Church, the Holy Cross lias been a
success for its incipiency, and tho tin- :
pretentious buildings and barren sir I
Toundings of twenty-seven yeare aj,i a
havo given way to handsome two ,ini , '
three-story structures, uniform, ju archi- j '-' '
tecturo, which stand on a slight eleva
tion, as tho well-kept lawns, covered
with an excellent growth of trees, slope
gontly in all directions.
Modern throughout, the hospital lias
tho advantage ot tho very best and lat-
est equipment. Large well-lighted halls, ,j
private rooms and wards are furnished
upon an extensive scale, and the com
fort of the patients is an assured fact.
Poople from all over the inlermountam
region find refuge at thus institution ninl j
at times it is taxed to its full capacity.
We are learning rapidly in these days
of western progress that we. do not need
lo go east to find tho good things which
this world affords, and this is espe
cially true in regard to the education of
our daughters, tor wc havo hero in Salt
Lake, not only an "excellent public
school system, but; a private school
Rowland Hall which is not excelled by
any academic school of oilr country.
This school i.s already well linown
throughout tho west, as its students
co m o from many of tho leading families
of this and surrounding orntc.o It lias
entered its twouty-aixtTi year, and has
so well proved its worth to its patrons
that a large number of its students arc
now daughters and younger sisters of
former graduates. j
The teachers are graduates of the best '
colleges of our country each a special
ist in her' department, and tho school
sends yearly to tho colleges of the east
aud west students who casilv hold their
rank with ntudeuts prepared in tho old
and well known eastern schools.
Rowland Hall is both a boarding and
day school, with number limited to fifty
in the homo and ono hundred in tho
day department. During tho last year
the homo building, has been remodeled
and enlarged and a now school building
hn8 boon ndded, which could hardly bo
excellod in equipment and fitnoss for
tho work. Tho assembly and class rooms
are large and airy and surround an open
court., no that there is an unusual op
portunity for light and ventilation. The
floor below this contains a swimming
pool, bowling alley and a large gym-
nasium with hot and cold -hoiror ImtK j .
