Tow is it that the lack of discipline has only been diseovered within the period of the last two months? Why is it that Mrs. Gamshy, who was the principal for many years, never had any cause for complaint in this direction? Why is it that the junior class of the same school has such splendid discipline. as good as you can find anywhere in Canada, if not better? : 5 'The children who have been sent home during he last two months for me little discrepancy are as well "ehavad both at home and om the streets as it is possible to meet. 1s 't remsonable to believe that they vould behave at the school as they | hifig was at it should be?
