The White bowling team came over
last week and trimmed up tio Iocdl

at a loss for a reply, but judging from

ting the kettle.
G. N. Kennard has another article
this week on home study for children.
Mr.. Kennard wishes us to emphasize
the fact that he is not criticising the
teachers, who he believes, are doing
a grand work, but the system of study
he does think is wrong. He is inter-
ested in the schools and has their best
interests at heart, but in his opinion
the only way evils can be remedied in
any institution is by a full, free and
impersonal discussion Of the matter.
Evidently there will be quite a
number of bidders ON the new post
office building, contract for which will
be left in Washington a week from to-
morrow. Three local firms have ask
ed for plans, but it is not known
whether they will all bid on the work
and inquiries have also been received
at the post office from five or six
outside concerns. Contractors may
also get plans and specifications from !
Washington, so there will probably be
several more bidders.
