If it bc s?iJ, he is paid lor this invest ment,-I answer, the Compensation is not suchas ta remunerate for both investment and labor. The positive proof is found in the fact that'nat one toucher in a thousand can be-induced, or is even called upon, lo 'make all the outlay. Let thc public provide the buildings and needful facilities,' and let the tuition fees be thc compensation of the laborers, only deducting ep.p,ugh,Jo kc?p the* property in jocd repair.
