Miss Mcmillan has few equals ami no hi;
periors among the teachers of Western

scholastic requirements with natura
endowments." 1t ought to be source o
qualification to Miss NJ that her reputa

succeeding school. Messrs Crearyid
Rourke have purchased and have. in opsr

wool directly from this place. This is
move in the right direction and is perst
