A petition signed by quite a,
number of citizens of our lown.j
asking that the tuition which i s |
now charged in the High school
department of our Public schools !
he abolished, was laid before our j
Board and has received our enre-j
fill e-nd respectful consideration. |
In declining to giant. 1 he con- ^
cessions asked for in the petition,;
we deem it proper to make public

W e have sought to do 1 what f we j
honestly considered best for the
school and the town.
^ ,,e Constitution of toe t a t e
of On. provides for the education

define what i- meant by this and j
names the stmues which «h«ll hej
rr»' 0 . By examining our High j
School conr?n you will see th.it the
branches named in taught the Oanstltutlon therein are free not |

I torn this wn (tna t out the

rumors onr ltntion np\er ;

Hence we heheve it wrong to sup
port llm Hlgn School oy puldicl
appropriation when or taxation. \wj
believe that we Imve carfied :
a child through the grammar
grades free, we imve discharged
obligations to him—-that wt>;
where have placed he battle him with in a the position j
can world j
and t hen if he desires a higher ed¬
ucation he ought to he willing and
it is Ins duty to pay ter it.
Another reason for charging
tuition in t ho High School depart¬
ment, was to raise more money,
j As every one who is acquainted!
with the situation knows, we
j not had sufficient funds to run the
school as it should be. The situ—
at ion had resolved itself into it
| quest ion of whether we vv< uidnhol
ish the fe-t School department
- oreharg - tuition, wore we
to do? If ^ e did aw 25 with the
High Scho o it would certainly j
our school and lower its!
standard, when we were bending
till our efforts to build it up and j
its standard. Again our:
were clamoring for tbe higher | -
being taught in order
they might be prepared to
college—some even claim
mg that our curriculum was too;
low as it stood, Bo. after due!
consideration of all the interests
involved, with no desire to impose
any but hardship on any individu al • ' 1
with the sole desire to bring
ou * school up to the highest etau
d <rd of success, that our boys and!
girls might be aide to prepare
themselves to enter any college in |
til country, we decided to make a
charge in the High School.
other Suppose alternative wo imd and adopted abolished the)
i
the High School department?
Then our bovs and girls would
have to go to some other place to'
obtain even a high school eduea
tion and prepare themselves for
college. This would be much
more expensive than paving the
» ora ' M «\. tuitio » b N «•
because they would then have t >
pay board and tuition both, be
sides being away from home and
2C
i from under the control snu watch
on.
Again it is ch.irgeu in . the peti
tion that the ohanges in text books

nuri unnecessary expense up. n til 1 !

our curriculum lias not been revis

We desired to bring it up to date
so that it would compare favorably f

with the best schools
In doing this we studiously 1
avoided changing text books ex¬
cept when absolutely necessary.
But when we considered, that the
