Convent Schools and Conversion to Rome

—A daughter of the Hon. Richard H. Dana, Jr., of Massachusetts, having become a convert to Rome from attending a Romish school, a Romish paper very coolly and candidly says: “The influences of convent education have wrought this change of views, and if her family object to the way she has taken, they have themselves to thank for it. Religious instruction from a Catholic standpoint is about the first thing to find lodgment in an imaginative mind, and Miss Dana is quite romantic and poetic in her temperament.” Mark this well, parents, and reflect upon it seriously, if you should ever be tempted to send a daughter or a son to a Romish school.—Western Methodist.
