behalf of the pupils who have been ex-
PEELED from the High school, who re-
fused to participate in the defamation
exercises. Mir. Sullivan i'm the course
OF his remarks said that from time to
time pupils had been excused from
these exercises, and he could not under
stand why these pupils should be COM
PEELED TO give valuable time 10 eOcu-
tion when they wished 10 devote their
time TO something which would be use

The class, he said, contained six mem

in Spraguevile. The residents of This

think that the majority OF the yradu-
ates were from amongst them, and they
considered the principals action as Il
slight upon them. Mr.. sullivan said

outcome OF a little spite on the part Of

OF giving the pupils tickets. for various
affairs 10 sell for him. The pupils in
question had been told by their parents
10 take no more tickets for anything
and this had reused the principals ire;

that his daughter had suffered for six
teen years with bronchial trouble, ana
