at the time, 1t Is now evident there
was no reason why they should not

doubtful whether very many cases are

it is certainly better to spend some

cians than to let the children run the
streets and pay ten times the money
for teachers sitting in idleness. More
over, if resumption of school work
were delayed much longer it would
have TO be abandoned for the year,
since it would be impossible to gradu-
