receive certificates from each of the teachers, and unless he

Mr. Fleming said there was an omission in the report of 
the last Council meeting, which might mislead some people 
who were not present. In the discussion on the propriety of

rectified, as he had not the slighest intention of reflecting 
upon the gentlemen in question.
