 A catalogue of the local high school, containing several half-tone illustrations, has been issued. This school at present is equipped the best of any school in New England, out side of the cities, according to the testimony of disinterested witnesses who have a chance to judge. The addition of the commercial course makes this institution a very desira ble one, both for local and outside pupils. The school now offers four courses college, the Latin Scien- tific, English and commercial. In each course there has been an admira- ble selection of text books. The school is provided with separate lab oratories for both chemistry and phy- sics. Both laboratories are thorough ly equipped and each occupies large, we'll lighted room. The school fills 8 we'll defined need in the educational line, and will no doubt draw many pupils from towns where no high schools are maintained and other towns where the high schools are not up to the standard of the local insti- tuition. The tuition for non resident pupils will be $40 per year. A cat alogue giving full information can be had by application to Principal May nard.
