boys in your school to fit themselves

I tutions.
I have been in the habit of holding
competitive examinations and APP
pointing the young man who stood

May | ask that you will in some
way find occasion to elaborate upon
this matter and at some proper time
speak for these wonderfully fine

age some of your scholars to fiji
themselves for the training which
these schools give.
