I taught the school intil Christmas and it then numbered f ' 1 suspended for the holidays and aliened attain in .lanuary. A boat this time the management notilicd me t hat imihini; more would he paid toward the support of the school. Their reason for so uoiut; I never knew, ;is the oiler was voluntary from the start. The pat reus wore anxious for me to eont iuue t he school and 1 have done so oil what t lie pat reus were aide to pay. A short I line a Iter 1 opened hi .lanuary. sinallpox broke out and I wasuotiiiedtoclo.se my school and t lie house was demanded.
