Giorda (J.) — Continued. 



These worlvs were put in typo aud printed 

 by tlio Indian school boys at St. Ignatius. 



In reply to a communication asking the 

 authorship of the works titled above, Fatlier 

 Leopold Van Gorp, one of the superintendents 

 of the Roman Catholic missions in the north- 

 west, wrote me under date of Jan. 4, 1887, as 

 follows : "Fatlier Giorda may very properly be 

 considered the author of all the works whicli 

 wo have printed in the Kalispel or Flathead 

 language. About 225 copies of each were 

 printed." 



"The .Saint Ign.atius mission maintains two 

 scliools for Indian boys and girls, at the Flat- 

 head Agency, on the Jocko reservation in Mon- 

 tana. From a population of about 2,000 Indians 

 are collectiid enough pupils to make an average 

 attendance of 1,W, who are taught industrial 

 pursuits as well as letters. The agimt reports 

 that the art of printing is also tanglit in a neat 

 little printing office, where dictionaries of tlie 

 Kalispel language, the gospels, and innumer- 

 able pamphlets and circulars have been neatly 

 printed."— -Bi'^ie.S'oc. Record, Nov. 17, 1S87. 



Kev. Father Joseph Giorda, S. J., who died of 

 heart disea.so at Desmet Mission, among the 

 Cceur d'Alene Indians, about the beginning of 

 August, 1882, was a native of Piedmont; born 

 March 19, 1823. He joined the Jesuit order 

 when twenty-two years old, and for some time 

 filled tlie chair of divinity and held other 

 imj)ortant offices in the colleges of the society 

 in Euroije. In 1858 Father Giorda arrived in 

 St. Louis, and soon after started for the wilds 

 of the northwest as superior general of the 

 Eocky Mountain missions, which office he Iield 

 until increasing infiriuities, due to arduous 

 labors and constant exposure, obliged those in 

 authority to relieve him of it. While superior 

 he established many new missions among the 

 Avhites and Indians throughout Montana and 

 the adjoining Territories. He liad a wonderful 

 aptitude for languages, and, besides speaking 

 fluently the principal continental languages, 

 mastered, during bis manifold duties, the 

 Blackfoot, Nez Tercc, Flathead, Yakama, Koot- 

 enay, and Gros Ventre dialects, and preached 

 to the different tribes in all tlieso languages. 

 For several years ho was pastor of the Church 

 of the Sacred Heart at St. Ignatius, Montana. —
