To the Citizens of Charleston:
AS there seems to be considerab BILE discus
sion about the change in furnis hing in
struction for the advanced pupils in town
who have graduated from the ninth grade,
we think best to explain to you the condi-
tions. At the last annual town meeting
the town voted to raise 80 per cent. for
school purposes which makes it that il our
advanced pupils are furnished instruction
outside of town that the town receives
such instruction = to illustrate, we paid
Charleston Academy 5000 tuition for
spring term of eleven weeks. Had this tut
tion been paid to an institution outside of
town the town would have received $40 of
this from the state. Therefore it would
have cost at least twice as much to provide
for instructing these pupils in town as it
o,,1l 80
other financial feature. The town is prac-
tically the only means of supporting our
academy school. Now there was q pros
pective class of only about nine pupils from
our town this fall and the academy trustees
conveyed the idea that what they lacked in
paying expenses they wanted US to make
up, which might raise the tuition to eight
or nine dollars, or even more, per scholar
we did not feel like CHANGING. In fact
were Z OF allowed to according to previous
contract in the year 1901. OF course this
does not remove the fact that We would be
obliged to patronize the academy if the
trustees had seen fit to have continued it
provided that it was school complying
with the requirements of the law but ey-
identity the trustees OF the academy did not
see fit to continue this school. OF course
no one could question the superior advan-
tages that our pupils would receive at q
regular academy. There are other reasons
of Importance that might be considered,
but with these facts the town can see that
what has beenidone is for the best interest
| of the town as whole.
