53 But why should four unfortunate masters be dropped out?

Well, I want to drop them out, at any rate; but not in disrespect In hope, on the contrary, to make you re reason

We are in the careless habit of speaking of reat number of pupils, and have a host of inferior satellites round thereat schools
