One OF the strongest evidences, he says
of the healthfulness climaticafly and
morally of this whole urban and rural
section. is the fact that the territory
embraces a large majority OF the big

state. high schools. colleges and coun-
try graded schools being located in
every direction, none OF them with leet
than 200 boarding students and mani }
with from 800 to 400 on the rolls. This
last point seemed TO particularly
strike him. and Is one OF patent sig
