Sisters of St. Joseph
Arrive in Winston-Salem;
Will Establish School
(Special to The Bulletin)
WINSTON-SALEM, N. C.— An
other headline in the annals of
Catholic education was written
recently, when four Sisters, of
St. Joseph from Mount St. Joseph,
Chestnut Hill, Pennsylvania, ar
rived at St. Leo’s Convent, Win-
iton-Salcm, North Carolina. Their
purpose, in answer to the request
of His Excellency Eugene J. Mc-
Guinness, is to carry on the edu
cational program of the world
wide Catholic Church in the estab-
lil.ment of a school where defi-
n e principles of morality will
to. iol and give force, persistence,
and success to secular learning.
i or nearly three hundred years
lh' Congregation has formed part
o. , he teaching body of the church.

Parent-T eachers
Meet in Charleston
in l.c Puy, France, by Bishop
1\. -,iy de Maupas and the Rever
end John Peter Mcdaille, S. J. It
rpivad rapidly through the many
dioceses of France until 1793 when
the French Revolution tried to
destroy it. During the Reign of
Terror its houses were pillaged,
its records destroyed or carried
off, the religious thrown into pri
son. and some, even, made to die
on the guillotine. No sooner did
the Church revive in France, how
ever, than the religious of St.
Joseph began to reorganize. With
in the lifetime of the second
Foundress, Mother St. John Font-
bonne, two hundred forty-four
convents were founded or restor
ed, and the number of subjects
increased from twelve to more
lhan three thousand. In 1836, six
Sisters came to America under the
auspices of the first Bishop of St.
Louis, the Most Reverend Joseph
Rosati, C. M., and two others fol
lowed the following year. Of the
latter, Mother St. John Fournier
was sent to open the first house in
Philadelphia in 1847.
During its ninety-seven years in
Philadelphia, the Motherhouse at
Chestnut Hill records one hundred
twenty-five establishments and
nearly two thousand Sisters. The
curriculum of the Institute in all
its phases—elementary, second
ary, college—conforms with mod
ern standards of accrediting agen
cies—Catholic as well as civil,
regional as well as national.
This latest foundation at Win
ston-Salem is the last official act
of the late Reverend Mother M.
Berchmans, who died January 25,
1944. As a tribute to her and in
conformity with her wishes it will
function formally, when the school
is opened, as a vitally living per
sonification of the principles laid
down in the Encyclical “Divini
lllius Magistri” of His Holiness
Pope Pius XI. “The Encyclical in
Action" is its motto. In the words
of His Holiness it aims “at secur
ing the Supreme Good, that is,
God, for the souls of those who are
being educated, and the maximum
of well-being possible here below
for human society.” At present,
and until the school can be erect
ed, the Convent at St. Leo’s offers
private tutoring in pre-school
work, elementary and high school
subjects, music and art. The fa
culty consists of Sister Irma Helen,
Sister Joseph Veronica, Sister
Dismas, and Sister Benigna Con-
solata. For information, call the
Convent by telephone 3-3639 or
in person at 1975 Georgia Avenue.

Detachment at Furman University, and Pfc. Louis Percello, (right) of

are looking over the religious pamphlets which are bn display at the
USO-NCCS Club located in the Gallivan Memorial Hall in Greenville,
where the National Catholic Community Service, through a staff of
volunteers, is making every effort to provide for the spiritual wel
fare of the service men stationed around Greenville, just as it does to
provide them with wholesome recreation in the leisure hours. More
than 10,000 religious articles and pamphlets have been distributed free
of cost to the service men by the NCCS in Greenville.
Father Hubbard Confident
Japs Are Finished in Alaska
Famous “Glacier Priest” Delivers Talks on Alaska
to Charleston Audience
(Special to The Bulletin)
CHARLESTON, S. C. — About
the longest diagonal within con
secutive American territory, a
trip from Attu’ in the Aleutians
Islands to Miami, Fla., has just
been made by the Rev. - Bernard
R. Hubbard, S. J., who showed
some of his 1,000,00 feet of films,
some of the Aleutian battle
grounds, to audiences who heard
him speak on the afternoon and
evening of January 9 at Bishop
England High School.
Father Hubbard brought back
from his most recent trip to
Alaska the opinion that the Japs
are through in that territory.
Although Alaska is an unknown
land to most people of the United
States, Father Hubbard knows it
well, having spent a great part of
seventeen years in its exploration,
and since the outbreak of the pre
sent war has visited Alaska under
authorization of Under-Secretary
of State Robert P. Patterson.
“Last year the outlook was very
discouraging,” said Father Hub
bard, but since the Japs have been
driven completely from their foot
holds in the Aleutians, I expect
nothing but good news to come
from the area now that we have
evalued the Japs’ strategy.”
“For instance, take a look at this
.31 calibre rifle bullet. It was fired
from a Jap gun but did not ex
plode. They have too many duds
now. I, myself, have picked up sev
eral hand granades, bullets and
what not from Aleutian battle
fields, all duds.
What has lost the war for Japan
is Iheir lack of imagination
They’re imitative, but neither con
structionist nor perfectionists in
what they imitate.”
Jap strategy, he pointed out, is
always to go according to plan
“Once the plan has been upset,
however, they are lost,” he declar
ed. “Illustrative of this is the bat
tle of Kiska. It was a Jap strong
hold; they had put everything;they
had -in it. We had been making a
series of off-tackle bucks, in foot
ball parlance, and the Japs ex
pected us to continue this proce
dure. They thought we would na
turally take Kiska first, but we
upset their kettle of fish by at
tacking and taking Attu first. They
were so flustrated they evacuated
Kiska with no struggle at all.”
Father Hubbard was guest of
honor at a luncheon at the St.
John Hotel while in Charleston,
and in addition to his talks at the
school, also spoke over Station
WTMA. He left Charleston for
Washington, where he is to confer
with army and navy officials.
