to leave school several weeks ago on
account of a severe spell of sickness,
was improving rapidly, but he feared
she would not be able to return to
her studies for some time
Iu speaking of schools the Col.
said Butler people should be pioud
of their public institutions of learn

state reputation and he doubted if
there were better schools to be found
in the state. This is quite a compli

Times is glad to learn from so reli
able a source, the high standing
abroad of the schools.
