ON THE occasion of the Christiansted High Scnool Excl

ITllroont James urged the graduating youth 70 put tnen

the question as to whether he community has properly con-

on in its midst.
MR.. BOUGH in particular says that education means

the point.of withdrawing its offer to take ten Virgin Islands

there IS no single standard for the teacher and student 70 ann

AT 4 tKe individual teachers hands, and place it on the i'm

students.
NO COMMISSIONER Of Education has 50 far concerned

the community, and individual citizens must act.
M. BouGH who has for eight years been familiar with

Nations. IS in highly favored position to collate the material
necessary for setting up an interisland standard, q high one,
