The Superior General Brother Philippe of the Brothers of the Christian Schools has answered the letter addressed to him in their name from the Propaganda by order of the Pope Pius IX that he is willing to found in this Province Cincinnati a Teachers Training School if the bishops do the "needful in the premises". Of course they will do their part. He writes Lefevere to know what he feels disposed to do. Bishop Martin John Spalding has made some liberal offers, such as the Jesuits ' house in Louisville and St. Mary's College, Marion Co., Ky . but dependent on certain contingencies. He asks an early answer. The propaganda looks with disfavor on the taking of money at church doors in the case of their brother Bishop Amadeus Rappe now imitated in Pittsburgh. Bishop Richard Pius Miles, O.P. has got a coadjutor, and Chicago another. "Happy Alleluiah!" :: III-2-i A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
