She missed her regular chance of promotion from school No. 4 on account of sickness and therefore titthin time dues not come in I the regular order of promotion of the i teachers'roster. j The teachers' roster kept hv the Board if Education is the lincst system of grad ing the promotion of teachers yet estab lism'd.

He said : "Gentlemen, J you are making a mistake it, doing this You are making a Inop-hole by which politics and religion may enter in | the question of selecting teachers mid it looks to me ns if this conuuitlee hits shown favor in ..ending the tip pointment of Miss Medara."
