Under Assessment Commissioner Channen there are four assessors and four as- sistants, two for public school sup- , porters and two for separate school i supporters.

Dr. Mercer declared that it was ij not the coun`.ries, nor the ancient objects, nor even the strangeness of the evidences of former civilizations that intere.s`.ed people in arcliaeol-ugy, but the human touch, the person- alities tha-t lie behind ihe objects. Interest centres around the fact "that, six and seven '.housand years ago peoples grew up, were married, and lived much as we do.
