However, the. regard speaks for Itself and the countryNerhoola of tbia state, aader the hppfvfertatkm .of 1314, will re ceive ntore ugistance than they, have prOpIkTy they will over received before, aod if rn } he la the beet condition they have over.boon In. If this policy Is kept np It will be only a abort while until there wiU not be any cry for compulsory edu cation.
