would not amount to $1,000 for the
whole county, 1t is a pity that va

that are opposed to free schools. You
viii hear others complain that TIVE
teachers DIRE enough to teach our
school. Let US zee. In the first place
the total enrolment Of scholars for the
preceding term is l15;average attend

ers have? To equally divide the
scholars, regardless Of grade If So
you would have a curious school. Can
you point cut any school with the

Parties that pay little OF no tax, talks
the most and condemns the tax. The
main business men and heaviest tax

school continue and not turn one hun.
dred little children loose on the streets

er, and II they do not correspond then
something must be wrong I am
anxious for the books to ia examined
in order to stop these wise heads from
talking. ! say that no money has
been spent extravagantly or wrong,
fully, and would advise parties to b
sure they are right before they make
such charge.
see that Prescott and Tombstone
schools have closed some time ago
wonder if they are accused Of sqpan
deriug their funds too. Who wonld
not lie a school trustee in a district
like this, where enc party win tel
