about adding another grade ito our
schools. We are in need of such, as
pupils who complete the course here
can only enter the freshman classes

another grade they could easily enter
sophomore classes, and save more
months of unnecessary college eX-
expenses. 1t is true that another
grade means another teacher to be
paid, but what is the expense of one
teacher here at home compared to
the expenses of a dozen pupils at
college in their freshman year (nOt

over them, which should be counted
above everything else)? This is the
question of most Importance at pres
ent before our trustees, and we all
hope they will deem it a wise thing
to add this extra grade.
