There is more interest being man.

a student in school, it seems, who
is not striving to do his duty,
though failure sometimes faces
him when success seems sure. The
line-ups are better, the lessons
show greater Improvement, and,
in fact, in every way the students
are showing that they want, and
mean to do, the right thing. And
