1t is hoped from the very bottom
of our hearts that we will have a
good school the coming term, and
we believe that we will. At least
five of the teachers are we'll known
here and are known to be good
teachers and real gentlemen and Ia
dies, and the new ones are expected
to prove all right. Of this much
we are absolutely certain, and that
is that the next term will be better
than the last. The reason we are
so positive about this is because a
poorer school than we had last term
could hardly be imagined. 1t was
not simply a failure, but was positive
ly harmful. Far better keep your
boy and girl at home than send
them to such school.
