teachers had been planning surprise
for the Supt. and Prof Langley. The
Supt. knew the first half Of the
scheme, never dreaming there was a
second half, while the Prof. had
knowledge of the last half, never sus-
pecting a first half. The Supt.
deemed there was pleasure in the part
he knew, while the Prof. OWNED
pleasantness in the part he knew
but the audience seemed best pleased
when these two gentlemen put the
two parts together, exposing to pub
licity the whole of the part concocted
. against their equanimity and staid.
. ness. In behalf of the Teachers OF
