The above may sound like ' we
are taking ton much authority
but Rince the Board has one' to
the expense of providing a teach

that you should take advantage
of it. '-'
: The meetings in the past have
41! been well attended. Pi act c
ally all the teachers of the coun

enabled the teachers t" meet and
know each other, they have iv.
en them higher ideals, greater
