a recent caller at the RECORD office.
Mr.. Jordan had been here visiting the
schools, paying particular attention
to the writing classes. The Canon

pleased with the work being done here
that he took with him full set Of

tical system and the old style it is in
deed wonderful how well our students
are progressing in the art.
