M. G. Muuly, member of school board
"The school survey embodies a highly
constructive policy, which we will un
doubtedly be glad to be governed,' by. In
fact, many o its recommendations have
been, anticipated by: the sohool board
and are now in effect As to the criti
cisms I think; many of. them, - are (far
f etched.' ;- v .;,v tiHrtXf, I
"The v surveyors .evidently forgot
that the board is required by statute to
give attention to many details and that
under the law it cannot delegate these
duties to others. I consider the criti
cisms of principals .nd. teachers rather
ungenerous. ' Tba gentlemen who made'
the survey, could , not possibly have in
vestigated, conditions in all the schools.
Tiiey am not nave time,
'Hence, sweeping criticisms ' are tun-
warranted and far fetched. In my opin
ion,' it is not too . much, to say at the
present time that our teaohers and .our
course of study are of as high, a grade
as can be found anywhere else in i the

At the same time It Is emphasized

anco to German exporters, though It
cannot be denied that the door has been ,
opened a little wider. , . :- . "";':. .
German manufacturers will not be
slowi to make use of the eW advan

and at the same time it. ! perfectly
clear to German statesmen that If thes t .
opportunities are not to be lost again,
Germany on her side must be prepared
to; extend a friendly band and make

This is generally conceded to be ab
