That the comparison muy be accurate and
Just between the two villages, some changes
must be made in the statistics of d. as pub
lshed last week. The expense of each pu-
pill 1875 nearly is found by dividing the
whole amount, appropriated to the school for
the year, by the whole number of the schol-
ars returned This is quite different from
the data furnished by the returns here. rom
the proposed dividend, must be deducted all
but the items OF wagos orteacners, tho
board, fuel and incidentals, and from the d.
visor. the number of children, who do not at
tend school. The item of fuel and inc ident-
ais. exclusive Of repairs and expenses of a
permanent, not annual, character, is not CIV
en- We must, therefore, add TO the item Of
teachers wages and board in the High and
Intermediate Schools, $500, the like items OF
the four primary Schools S6i0, the sum re-
turned here for fuel aud incdentals Sl42.50
making Sl5S250 and we then have the true
dividend, or one very near it, for the last
item would be nearly the same in both pa-
ces.
From the facts that the people Of b. have
no private schools and are so well satisfied
with their schools, as now constituted, as to
think they need no other, we must be just-
fled in the conclusion that the number, who
do not attend their schools, is small, and re-
stricied to some few of the most ignorant
and stupid of their foreign population, and
such as sickness or other casualties confne
Mt home. 1t cannot exceed half the number
we find out of school here. Call it then six
ty seven and our divisor will be i72, and the
expense Of each, 1895, is two dollars less for
each child attending school, than is paid
here.
