THE pupils of the Chelsea schools did not

in the course of study, the time having been
shortened by decree of the board of educa-
ton, owing to financial strait, and the prin-
cipal deems it very important that the pupils
In the higher rooms, from the fourth grade

for the various county offices are men of such
integrity, honesty and incorruptibihty that the
public mind can rest in the assurance that
