Odell at last night’s meeting of tho vSchool Committees’ Association. “Moreover, school committees who are in the habit of running onchre lour* ncys do not know where they stand regarding tho law.” He had interviewed Mr Sullivan, M.P.. who stated that the police would not interfere where euchre parties were not nm for private gain and money prizes wero not given.
