Our correspondent draws upon his

that 1t is perfectly proper to speak of
high schools" as Differentiated from
the common public (free) school or
ordinary private school where only
primary instruction is given. Edu-

term low unless it be where there

high school and higher educa-
ton are not lily applied as long as
there arepublic schools of high grade
