Being a stranger to this district I should like, with your permission, Sir, to submit the following proposal to “ the powers that be ” for their consideration : —Without in any way being egotistical, I can safely say I am a good elocutionist, and to assist in such a worthy cause as a technical school for the district, I am prepared, given the use of a hall and lights for one evening, to give an elocutionary recital.
