ginners to employ Mr.. D. to give them proper
start.

in the District Schools for scholars living in the
District NOR can fee for tuition be charged in
the High School for scholars who are residents
of the County. Persons Of both sexes, rich
and poor, enter there upon an equal footing.
And may say, that at present, of the Students

pupils under that age, if they are pepared to
