 Discuss Grant tO Teachers
 Mrs. Laura NJ. Mangan, q member Of the committee brought up the mat ter of allowing teachers In whose 'classrooms normal training students are placed to observe actual teaching methods, to accept a grant Of $50 al- lowed by the state.

moneys rise from 10 IA per cent.
Low grade motors, che cheaper oils,
food specialties and the chain store
groups were the special targets Of
the shorts, whose concerted attacks
upon those shares met with little OPP
position.
Buying OF rails was credited to a
group OF local traders, their builish
attitude apparently being based on
the better showing recently made by
many roads especially grangers and
cotton curriers', these featuring the
days movement.
Steels and equipments were iistless
