hood and Imposition.
Believing that the public are interes-
ted to greater degree in the publication
of facts than in spiteful assertions, the
Review has undertaken to give its rea-
ders the facts regarding the Examiners
treatment of Teacher Milne by COM
plete and verbatim report of the min
utes of all the meetings CT the Board in
which said individual was interested.
They are lengthy, but interesting. They
show up Mines character at the same
time that they exonerate Nix and Eek
stein of all charges of unfairness.
