adoption Of any complete or extensive system. ana
BESIDES system eau lie Gavsed that can secure tne
general appreciation OF the people or their represen

cause, mstured q general scheme OF aid Tor various
grades of educational institutions, but it failed to

scheme his patriotic purpose is fostering WILL Tor
the reasons, be consigned to ;iie same topo.
Sir we are not ys, ripe for systems Our iunds are
too inadequate to attain any appreciabe good from

is to give aid special cases even from the Literary

and punotually pay up the interest, see no oo)se

judgment, than to undoubtedly aid solvent instl.
