and executive of rare ability. This
school has shown marked improvement
under his supervision. He not only
has the good will of the students and
parents, but has the heartiest Coop
Grafton of his teachers, without which
it would be impossible to bring this

fortunate in securing his services for
next year.

two to four years. Twelve have had
training, and are, therefore, well
adapted for this kind of work.

under her supervision. Next year Pal

issued to pupils completing the course
