a multitude of educational topics,
among them the following: agriculture

school systems in individual states
deucation and crime; educational
methods; foreign school systems
higher education; industrial and tech
nical education; libraries; teaching OF
mathematics; rural education; school

people having a general interest in
education and the improvement Of
public and private schools.
The bulletin entitled: List of Pub
LEGATIONS of the United States Bureau
of Education for Free Distribution,
which contains detailed statement

circumstances have conspired to bring

Delay in the construction work both
of the building and the pump. and SUBJ
