A NEW SCHOOL.
BT TELEGRAPH —FBESS ASSOCIATION. NAPIEU, August 23. The Marist Bros.' new brick school in Shakespeare Road, erected to replace the wooden structure which was partially destroyed by fire, was dedicated by Archbishop Redwood this afternoon. Prior to the ceremony there was a large procession, headed' by the band from St. Patrick's Church, through the town to the school. In the course of his address the Archbishop congratulated the Catholics of Napier on the erection of the school, and said that it was one of the many evidences that the Catholic body throughout New Zealand were determined that their children should have true religious education, as well as perfect secular instruction. The cost came from the pockets of Catholics, and in numerous cases from the pockets of the very poor. The Mayor of Napiei (Mr J. Vigor Brown) offered congjatula- ' tions, and Mr J. C. Westall, a member of the Napier High School Board, of Governors, also spoke. The Archbishop said that the cost of the building and f jrnishing of the school was £1,400. Nearly £fio wes obtained by collection after to-day's proceedings.
