Evening School III, Sandy Hook.

/ Miss j. T.. Gaffney, well knownas lone
of the best teachers in the town. has
opened an evening school which Will
be grand thing for the Hook and syiein-
ity, if the people who need its advan-
tages will promptly show their appreei-
alton by a liberal patronage. 'sfh eAipt,
| edge is power" The young man or
young woman who is prepared, 20 DO
many different things has a choice OF
various employments and a chance of
promotion. But y person who knows
only one kind Of business is like fiddle
| with bnt one string, on which there has
to be a great deal Of shifting about to
play any tune. There are many boys
and young men who work on farms or in
shops who cannot attend school In the
day time who could very easily spend an
hour or two in study, Two or three nights
In each week and, in that way, with the.
help of good teacher, gain a fair BUSH
nets education. 1t would not only be a
good Investment of time and money, but
it would also open up to them new
sources of employment. A young man
who is a good penman. can cast accounts
accurately and knows how TO keep books
can turn his hand very readily to fill
many different situations and when, for.
any good reason. he is out of one job, he
can the more quickly find another. A
practical business education is the key to
the great emporium of Industries with
it's many departments In proportion as,
one is educated, he can unlock all the
doors which open into every form Of use
fulness. The man who can do but one
thing is he slave of his trade; for, If
that fails him, he has nothing. lie who
can, by reason OF his schooling, do sew
eral things, is independent of any one
thing and can take his choice.
Learning gives one power in reserve.
If you do not need it o,day, you may
want it tomorrow. II you have it. it is,
yours and no one can steal it from you.
The writer hopes that this new enterprise
will fsourish.-[O. 0. Wright.

in accepting any amount less than the $50 per
capita mentioned in my former letter.
But, in reading that part of the Connecticut
statutes to which you referred, it seems to me
that the law--section 22l7 (chapter CxxXvIII)
and section 222l Chapter CXL) distinctly re.
quires that any school receiving aid from the
public funds of the town, choice of teachers
must be left with the board of school visitors
and any school of high grade being thus main
tanned, admission of scholars, studies, books
and classification shall be under control of the
board of school visitors.
The trustees of the academy would not be
willing to give up this present power or TO
surrender their control OF the academy. If /
am right in my Interpretation of the law, such
a plan as you have suggested would be inn
practicable. II am wrong in that interpre-
tation, let me hear from you whether the

Mr. Thomas j. Corbett-Dear sir: Your let
ter of the 18th is duly received. There has
not been time to have a formal meeting OF
the trustees OF the academy to consider the
suggestions which You make, so that we could
decide upon definite proposition before the
meeting OF your board.
But, in considering the matter to which you
refer, with Prof Cliff and one OF the trustees,
l have arrived at this result, which feel very
confident the trustees of our academy will
concur in unanimously. The project which
you outline, of the town contracting with the
academy tor providing High school education
tor resident pupils, seems to us most practical
BILE and urgent The academy exists and is
managed solely for tie educational advanta-
ges OF town and other pupils. 1t seems to us
that your project would be mutually advan-
tageous to both town and association. The
financial part of the arrangement, think the
trustees could agree uponwiih the town au-
thorities. Now 1t seems to US that per cap
ita rate would be the best and most business
like arrangement. And, furthermore, we feel
that $50 annually for each pupil resident in
the town, attending the advanced department
OF the academy, would be cost moderate to
the town and one safe tor us to make.
In a word, sir, your project strikes us very
tavorably and the details in carrying it out 1
believe we can decide upon to the mutual
satisfaction of both interested parties. Very
truly yours,-[GEoRGE T. LINsLEY, President.

Mr. Thomas j. Corbett-Dear sir: Your sec
ond letter in regard TO the High school matter
is at hand Since writing my former letter to
you upon this subject. have looked into the
matter little further and examined the stat
utes to which You referred and consulted
with some of the trustees. majority of the
trustees decided that we would be willing to
enter into an agreement with the town. pro-
vided the full control OF the academy, in re-
gard to choice of teachers. admission OF pu-
pills, course of instruction and use of text
books be left as it now is, with the board of
trustees of the academy.
If these conditions could be agreed upon. AN
agreement such as you seem to have in mind
mightbe made with the town tor the consider
alton of $25 annually for each scholar. though
Tam not certain that we could feel justifietl
