later declined to .S1.s5." Watson con-
tinued. While cement was selling for

this department must stand firmly on

because certain local officers were
using the extremely low standard OF
the compulsory attendance law as a

literature of India, the Gamma sprang
from sacred dust You know that
the original color of the Gamma was

language of India was Dewadat. He
hated Buddha and was jealous of his
influence and fame Hearing that
Buddha was to undertake a journey,

the coming of the saint. He had
poised an immense boulder on the
blink Of a slope. When Buddha, the

The very reasonable demand for re-

Six major courses will be offered:
three in the morning from 8 to II

registering will choose one forenoon
and one afternoon course.
In addition to the major courses
there will be two lectures or seminar

flied to speak at these peFiods.

They have made some remarka bic

do not want to raise any false hopes
