In the siege of nineteen days about

Two important successes in the bat

Model stores at which provisions are

The plan was adopted by the board
of education at the suggestion of Chair,

children will take many of the ideas
learned In school home and thus not
only become good marketers them

their parents.
Most of the school principals have
appropriated empty storerOoms or
