Dear sir:
What plan have you for disbursing the funds you expect from Dr. Sears? I would be glad to avail myself of your thoughts.

I had thought of the following, substantially: $4000 is $2 each for 2000 pupils- reckoning "average" monthly attendance equivalent to 2500 'whole attend and the average duration of the schools probably would not exceed eight months. I would therefore pay the teachers or school committe 25 cts per month per pupil for the average attendance - so that a school with 40 pupils, average, would get $10 per month. This would be an inducement to the teacher to labor for a full school and uniform attendance
