A Simple Compromise

me question as to what shall con-
stltute the official language of the dis

THEM WAS THE DAYS
Ftyleoves

Sir: When I went to school, back in
'92, it was quite the thing to write on
the inside of the front cover of a book:
Please turn to page 1oS
Then at the top of page 1903 would
be written:
Now you have taken the trouble to look
Turn to the last page in the book.
Sometimes, to make the combination
more difficult, five or six pages would
be used before the name was given.
To have a teacher pick up a stray book
and glance inside for the name was
one of the best jokes we had.
