surely be at the head Of the school.
Professor StapIeton believed hat
when Miss Livingstone took .he posi-

she did so rather against her will. She
had since told him that IL the board
cared to place a man in the school as
principal. and she did not care partic-

be pleased to see a competent man i'm

any change had not come from the
