session at this place on Wednesday of last
week. There were but fourteen applicants
for certificates Three of these were pres.

consequently did not complete the examina-

and we're very practical, few of them reach.
ing outside Of what is commonly required to
be taught in our schools; yet in spite of .

pay; and = wages are better ON the oppo.
