Whi .estion Of the liter

is beng brought before the public,
there is another question | would
like TO see agitalsu, and that is
the continuation Of the public
school of our town for a term OF
10 months.
We begin our public school here
the last of August or the FIRST OF
September, and continue just as
long as any district school In the
County-however small the school
or however far IN the country.
Then comes the question OF what
to do. Some parents are able TO
send their children and pay full
tuition for them, and do It, gladly
aud freely -Cthers who are Just
"a able and sometimes more so re-
f1se to send their children, or ask
that they be taken al reduced
rates; There are others, who are
anxious to send their children, bul
who are not able to pay full tultl'
on but pay all and perhaps more
sometimes than they should. Ther
there are those who are not able y
pay anything, and in many cases
such as this, we lose some OF ou
oood students. The teachers ar
willing that these come on, bu
