tor of the Museum of the Charleston College,
or to meet the annual subsidy to the Museum.
Also. for the reason above given. the commit
tee respectfully solicit the Supervisors OF the
High School to ascertain if judicious re-
trenchment cannot be made in the present e1-
penses of that institution, and TO consider II
an advance on the present tuition Tees cannot
be made, which may render the school self
sustaining.
