Tahiti Honours Three Brothers Of Famous School
p. 49 · Read in the full issue
IN Papeete, Tahiti, on June 30, there was a remarkable demonstration of admiration and love, when over 500 residents of French Oceania, attended a
dinner given to celebrate the completion of 50 years in the service of the Roman Catholic Church and of education by Brothers Thomas, Ludovic and Enogat.
Their work has helped to make famous that fine Tahiti institution, Les Ecoles des Freres de Ploermel. The schools were started 80 years ago, and a very large proportion of the principal men of French Oceania have passed through them.
A new school for the Brothers is now in course of erection, at a cost of about three millions of francs—provided mostly by collections and by donations from former scholars.
Eight long tables accomodated the guests. Seated beside three guests of honour were Rev. Father Calixte, of the Cathedral; Messieurs Albert Le boucher, Clement Coppenrath, Rene Pas sard, Administrates des lies Sous-le vout, Docteur Rosmorduc; Monsieur Louis Raoulx; Brother Romain (Principal of the School) Messieurs Henri Villierme, Tony Bambridge, Marcel Frogier, Maurice Gillet, Charles Passard (engineer of public works) and A. Agnieray, Contract or for the new school in the course of erection.
