seen•tary of this school, has issued a circular inform•
ing the loathe that this institution is in debt, and this
he tutys is entirely occasioned by the maintenamy .4

small fee is taken. The committee wish it to be
distinctly undersussl the expanses of the day classes
an. entirely IVelell by the fm•s received from the
pupils attending those classes. It is manifest that it
is in the evening ClAtlAt•rk for artizaris that the real
