'KX man who has learnt to obey will make the best commander and this has been proven over and over again. The students of Saint Joe's, too, are under that law of restriction. Take the assemblies, for instaneeg they are the eongenial gatherings ol' the lour elassea and many's the time the whisperings olf some student are earried on the gentle wind in that spacious hall.
