c.1922
An inspector came to the sisters' needlework school in 1921. From 1922 they were teaching needlework, embroidery, lace, knitting and dress-making, and in 1966 the tailoring school passed wholly into their charge. The R.C. Lace Industrial School and the Osanam Sewing Institute are counted among the works of this parish to this day. They were the second rung of the ladder the village built for its daughters: letters first, then a trade in the fingers, and a wage that did not depend on the rain.
What this source establishes
That the school exists and is still counted among the works of this parish. It corroborates none of 1921, 1922 or 1966 — and the diocese is the parish's own institution, not an outside check.
This is as much of it as we may lawfully print. The rest is at tuticorindiocese.org.
