NAL school OF the first rank for these
teachers. which afforded them the
training OF the university standard In

foundation members OF the Community,

OF the country, one Of the most promi-

The city has never been IN better

city is such that It would be almost
impossible for any filth disease TO
fnd lurking place.
Greeuville is built on such gen.
orous scale that there is no chance for
crowdlng or the accumulation of dirt.
Every dwelling, and almost every
store, has abundance of room in which |
to dispose OF its refuse, and there is
NO crowded quarter in which people |
are so closely packed together SIS to
afford a breeding place for the germs
OF contagious disease. In 1873 the
city was very much smaller its popu-
lation thea being about 1000, whereas
1t now hss 10000 but at that time it |
possessed no sanitary system at all,
and no Board of Health II had
never been cleaned up, but, small as it
was contained the accumulated dirt

and its condition was such as to in
