Alleluia!" f|1;Next Sunday the -whole Christian world comes together t» celebrate the " greatest feast of tbfuJBtar, the Resurrection of the Son of Man. The altars *."4'V In our churches overflow with lilies , * and other beautiful flowers of spring1 to hail the glory of the triumph of , life over death. v,.' " Three yeans before His death, Christ ®i '• *? "- prophesied that he would rise trium- '" phant from the grave three days After his burial. His Resurrection then, was • to b* the supreme test of His divinity. He had raised others from the dead . • • ^ and had invested His apostles with the 1 •*" same tremendous power. It remained \ only for Him to raise Himspif from the dead according to promise. • And so, on Easter Sunday morning, 7 , ? „ we don our finest apparel to herald the Savior of Man. In the Catholic churches, the somber garments which hid all the statues during the past week, are removed, thus adding a more joyful note to the atmosphere. The joyous sound of "Alleluias" resound through the church, instead of • the low, mournful tones of the "Miserere." In commemoration of the various events leading up to the Resurrection, special devotions are being held dur- : - ing Holy Week hv chuifches through- , out the world. Services During Week Today, Holy Thursday, is the commemoration of the institution of lite Blessed Sacrament, which is exposed throughout the day in Catholic churches for public adoration. ' At the "Gloria" of the Mass today, . the bells were rung and the organ played for a short time and then were quieted, to remain so until the "Gloria" of the Mass on Holy Saturday. This denotes the grief during • the passion and death. Tomorrow, Good Friday, the church remembers tjie death of Jesus Christ. Using the Sacred Host which was consecrated the previous day, the priest reads the "Mass of the Pre-Sanctified. Between the hours of 12 and 3 p. m., the world is especially steeped in sorrow, in commemoration of the three hours of agony on the cross. ' The new fire is blessed on the morn ing of Holy Saturday* as well as the Paschal Candle. The Prophesies ane read and then the Baptismal water is blessed. The bells ring out at the ' "Gloria" of the Mass and the organ begins to play. Thus is Lent .oyer at noon and the Easter season bejgun. Services for this Holy Week at the church in this locality are as follows: St. Patrick's Church At St. Patrick's church, McHenry, ginning at 7:80, will conduct the Stations of the Cross. The blessing of the Easter water and Paschal candle on Holy Saturday will begin at 7 o'clock and Mass will follow at 8 o'clock.

They must be taught the script backwards and forwards, as it were, for, in order to write Braille, the dots must be punched from one side of the paper, and then the raised dots must be read from the reverse side. Use Wooden M*£l In order to study geography, wooden maps ars used and the different countries are painted in very brilliant colors, for those who have partial s»ght will be able to distinguish these. The mountains are raised and rivers and lakes are also indicated. Imnortant cities are marked with brass thumbtacks and in order that the students may learn the position and shape of states and countries, some maps are cut like jig-saw puzzles which may be fitted together. Another type of map is the Braille map, where, on a smooth sheet of paper, boundaries are indicated by a series of dots. Oceans are a mass of large dots and rivers, a series of smaller dots. These also have key notes, telling the names of cities and giving other information. Swimming is compulsory at this school and medical aid ia given free of charge. A nurse is on duty twentyfour hours a day and an eye specialist makes a visit to the school daily. Courses at Blind School Among the courses being taught are foreign languages, salesmanship* typing, the operation of a dictaphone and switchboard, piano tuning (at which blind people are very adept, having a keen sense of hearing) weaving, >ewing, knitting, basketry, brush and broom making, furniture making, up- APRIL'S DRAFT QUOTA INCLUDES 80 FROM COUNTY ONE BOARD X0 SEND 39 ^ & t ">«.

To go back a few years into Miss Harmsen's past, she was born in Chiago and christened "Elsa." She received the name of Harmsen from her foster parents who raised hpr from infancy. Since the death of the Harmsens she has made her home with Mr. and Mrs. F. C. Feltz in West McHenry. For ten years she attended the school «t Jacksonville and completed the eight lower grades and two years of high school. At this school, Elsa relates, the students are taught, above all, to be independent. They are taught to keep their own rooms neat and tidy, to get around by themselves and if they do not meet the assignments at the appointed deadline, they must take the consequences, such as any normal student might be subjected to.
