Tha School tor the Deaf in this city has served the Maritime provinces and Newfound land for many years, The soyenty- second annual report of the insti- tution shows an enrolment of 130 pupils, as follows: Nova Scotia, 69: New Brunswick, 41; Prince Edward Island, 8; Quebec, 1; Newfound- land, 21, For some time the neces- sity for expansion has been realized in' order to meet: the requirements of the provinee, The réport given by the secretary of the School, Mr. George Batehan, shows there were. no serious {ll- nesses among the pupils during the year under consideration, due largely to the 'situation, acecom- modation, wholesome food, regular exercise and the watchful care of the doctor, matron and nurses' The high standard of intelligence has been maintained.

Gin and brandy was only two dollars a case, and you could buy all that vou wanted, Good stuff, we didn't have to bother with bootleggers.
