contemporary had been refused access to
the minutes of Tuesdays conference The
editor of the WIG was the secretary of the
conference, and its minutes were free to
everybody. Their non appearance in the
Nelgs is simply due to the negligence of its
publisher to get them from the secretary,
who would as chearfully have given them to

Mr.. JAMES SMITH,
Dear SIR: The Trustee, of School No 1,
Mol: Of which Miss Leila Mccoy is teacher,
have determined after due consideration in
order to relieve ourselves from my respon-
sibility and to save our teacher from any
embarrassment, to require that you obtain
the privilege of raising flag on the school
premises from the Board of County School
Com missioners and that the said privilege
presented to us. the local Board of Trustees,
in writing SO that we may enter it on our
minutes.
The law says that school property shall
only be used for educational purposes, and
we do not consider the raising of a flag an
educational affair.
