Scope and Contents

He recommended the Freeman to his parishioners, but received nothing but promises. Most of them are poor, some take the Pilot, and many cannt read. There has only recently been a Catholic school there, but it now numbers about 85 students. The teachers are graduates of The Teacher's Seminary at St. Francis Station, Milwaukee, Wis., which deserves all praise for its fine standing. The spirit of its founder, Father Joseph Salzmann, who died Jan. 17, 1874, seems still to animate all at the Institution. Neu has had good success in persuading his parishioners to read the book published by Frederick Poslet, entitled "Explanation of the Epistles and Gospels." This book is superior to the one published by the Catholic Publication Society in its size, arrangement, index, wood-cuts, and different sizes of print. The book is read extensively in Germany and should be so done here. He asks McMaster's opinion of the book. Neu is interested only in the good that the book can do. :: I-2-a A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.
