the most cordial relations have not
existed between the secretary and the
board on account of differences rela-
tive to the conduct of the board',, af-

at this time in order to insure the
degree of harmony essential to fu-
ture usefulness.

success an,| ,here is perhaps no nd-

any stimulous to the work of study
'hat will make for the good of the
school interest to the extent that
hese fairs will. Every pupil winning
a Prize has reason to be proud and

to future reward. Those failing to
win prizes may take Inspiration from
