It is gratifying to know that in a time when public burdens have lain very heavy upon the peo(ple there has been everywhere a determined purpose to maintain e ucation unimpaired, m order that the coming eneration may be equipped, regardless of sacrifices m the presentfcior the increasing res onsibilities which 1t must bear.
