Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1902-01-27


W hich has been conducive to undue ad-
vantage to some over others, thus. making
the examinations already concluded unfair
for all, we have decided to call all aspirants
together at the schoolhouse in West
Charleston Feb. 9Th and 9th to take both
written and oral examinations in the 9th
grade work, commencing at 9 a. m. each
day. 1t is with deep regret we find this
necessary and to those who have done
their work on their merits it will only
mean two days more hard work, but will
save them from any injustice.
