According to Patron's article it seems that the trustees are not patrons of St. Paul's school. The three trus tees seild 10 children to said sehool out of aii enrollment of 39 pupils. I will tell why "I closed ite school in January." The board so decided on account of insu f ficiecey of funds. After payi)g present obligations there would be but $5 left. I sent a statement of the condition of affairs to Superintendent of Education and ie immediately sent tme the amount of poll tax for this district, it being nearly 4 per cent. more thanl last year, enabling its to run our school one month longer. Superintendent of Education has never ordered me to open t.he school at any time. "Sent for ipt.ing, a written invitation." Here is a copy of written invitation: "Pebruary 24, 1897.
