A certain young teacher in one of

Young woman's room a pupil who was
very dull and stupid.
One day the gallant principal was
asked by the admired one to give his
permission to have the child removed

lie might be benefited by the change.
The suggestion did not meet with the
principals immediate favor, and he
demonstrated.
