they were well-dressed crowd of
gentlemen and ladies', gathered to-
gether to perfect ways aud means of
improving the schools of the county
so as in the very best manner to in
struct the children in the study of

patent at first glance to everybody,
and shows that the public involur-

gentlemen" or "ladyn synonymous

laughing and Joking with stories of
school life which come with every
teachers experience; even the hard
ships being made light of when view
ed from the later point of view.
