AS we were snow bound last week
we were obliged to neglect the Edu-
cational Column. Owing to the
extreme severity of the weather and
blocked condition of the roads we may
not be able to pay visits to as many
schools this winter as we could wish.
Teachers will kindly bear in mind this
fact in case you fail to receive our
official visit.

ter the holiday vacation teachers will
take up the work with renewed vigor.
