This number may seem incredible, but is nevertheless true This is an average of nearly two in one term. Now if these had been experts In any one line and each had begun and continued tui- tion for those ten years, it would have been an extremely» fortunate thing for me, and my education, but they were Jwck-of-alllsulbjocts. and spent fro mthree to egihieen months in this school which I at- tended.
