...less trouble to the successive Class Committees, more or less satisfaction to the members of the successive classes, and more or less profit to the successive photographers. The Class wants the best photographs, and wants to pay a reasonably low price for them.

It is this fear of a lack of money support, more than an apprehension that the counsel offered in the Advocate will be ultimately adopted, which induces us to present the other side of the question.
