In last week’» not«*» it was slated that
gome »indent» can not enter school at
the Iw-ginning. This simply meant their
ow n circumstances are such that thev

can nut be here at the o|»ening.

while execration is moral force in mode
of oj»eration. Both ideality and desire
are masterful and not motiveless.—
ideality is the form of the motion ; desire
is the spirit of the form.
