would have TO make the contract with the

treated the committee and board shabbily
and he wanted the public to know how the
Wilkesbarre firm had acted.

made of paste board, not what the board wants,
ss there are charts covering the same matter
now in the schools they were to expensive

finest thing of the Kind he ever saw, and
