promptly at an agreed discount,
and that this discount would be
made good to them by the custodi-
an Of the auxiliary fund.
For instance: Say that Prot.
Studyhard is employed at salary
of 500 per month. The bank
has agreed to pay off all warrants
at S5c on the dollar. When the
professor draws his warrant for
the 500 the custodian of the auxll-
liary fund will hand him check
for SIS to reimburse him tor the
discount. This keeps the warrants
at par, and keeps the expense OF
the school on a cash basis, as con-
templated by the law.
The expense of the session can
be closely estimated and the size
OF the auxiliary fund determined
beforehand, so that if closely fol-
lowed out the scheme is practica-
BILE, and is the only way out OF
the difficulty. SO far as we can see.
Discuss it and think it over.
1t should be understood that the
salary of the principal shall not
exceed 500 per month and house
rent. This salary should and
will secure the very best talent.

Another feature of the utmost
importance will be an indus

ard plan ahead so that when a ia.
svorable opportunity presents itse f
he is ready TO take advantages of

there is no blocking ahead" for
them. We do not anticipate their
coming or plan to secure them.
There is no planning ahead"
We should haze an organized in
