The Greytown school committee concur in the above, so that there is no obstacle to the course suggested, if the members think fit."

He considered this due to errors of judgment on the part of Mr Wakelin, During a conversation which ensued it was mentioned that Mr Wakelin had lately taken a B. A, degree. doherty's case.
