burghers home rule patterned after the Canadian
model.
To bring about peace upon such terms as this the
government of Holland has offered to send a commits.

The school population of the South is about 900

estimated to cost 81 each per year Not per cent of
the school books or the books in Southern libraries

900 of patronage goes out OF the South every
year for the products of the printing press which
with proper enterprise could be retained here If
there were more Southern publishing houses we
should have more Southern literature. Marvellous as
