prohibiting the obstructing of psvements,

inconsistency and uudoubtcd cost ola
change of books in our schools, and since
doing 50, we have heard two sides of the
story. Several Of our citizens advocate
strongly q change. The books now used
are McGuticy>. and il i tru" that they
are an old time system, and have been i'm
our schools many years. We firmly deny
the consistency Of following the footsteps
Of onr fathers aS regards advancement.

be beneficial. 4 new path Is always
entered into with cagcrness. The daily
