packing up their equipment Phillips
was suddenly attacked by the stranger,
who then gave evidence of being a raw
ing maniac. The men fought with the
insane man for some time when he

upon him and finally he was subdued.
He then seemed to recover his senses
and after some time was allowed to go.
He is believed by them to be a rich
dope fiend, as his clothing would in
dicate he was a well to do person.

 will therefore be easier 10 secure teach. l CTS and good teachers And the tota
 result will bo vastly greater efiicien. | cy, not only on the intellectual side, bu,
