Charges are made from date of
entrance. Proper deductions for pro-
tracted illness. The next term of this
School will begin December 9TH, 1887.
A special feature of the law lncorpo-
rating our school is that every resident
patron is credited with the Public
funds apportioned to his children under
the school law of the State.
Resident children who are dependent
upon the Public School funds for educa-
ton are received into the School at any
time without charge.
This school and system offers the best
educa tional advantages attainable IL
Edenton. By dividing pupils of several
grades of advancement, among teachers
employed for each grade, better and
more efficient instruction is obtained at
less cost than can be had otherwise.
Pupils from other districts are invited
to enter the School at above rates of
