AS an index of the thorough train

the advantage of the school than the
record made by it's graduates who
took the examination prescribed by

Il has been learned that graduates
from this school that took the recent
examination have made the required
percentage and have received IL

an extraordinary one, as the exam

The hoof grows more rapidly in I'M

But on an average the horn grows

Hind hoofs grow faster than fore
