suppressed for making a premature disclos-

precautions are being aiken to protect the

Under such conditions il is evident
that Messrs. Washburn and Flagg can
easily get day off, or several consecutive
days for that matter, without in
terfering with the work OF the
school as at present conducted. Noting
this, an ordinary observer, even after
making all due allowance for time and
thought given to administrative work,
would be inclined to think that these two
gentlemen are in no imminent danger OF
