| OF the education of a hundred thousand
and more children was every whit as
great a man as the attorney general.

superintendent did not need anybody to
speak for hir1-he was amply able to
speak for himself, but that did not
change his original opinion as to the

rose, reported progress and asked leave
to sit again and the bill was disposed
OF for the time being. !.
