bill The speakers all used moderate language
and there was only one small ebution Of ap-
plause at the beginning. Thereupon the Mayor
raped sternly for order, and said:

Of approval or disapprovaL"
After that there We're only a few irrepressible

thousand primary teachers had signed Il protest
against the opposition Of the other primary
teachers, that the Board OF Aldermen had in
