your Board, who assured me, he had no
doubt, If your funds were sufficient you
would reGdily dgree to try this for one
term. This gentleman expressed some
doubt ~ to whether a sufficient number
of pupils would attend to justify the ex-
pense. I ana sure could work up a,
class this summer that would be all one
teacher could handle. I now have list
Of shout twelve who have heard that /
