Dear Sir:
The Bureau is doing some thing to aid in the support of the teacher. The law is such that if the Bureau pays rent on the building, it cannot pay anything for the support of the teacher. It is better, therefore, for the people whose children attend the school, to pay you the rent on the schoolhouse. That is the usual way. I suppose you would not much for the rent and the people can pay it.

Yours Respy
R. M. Manly
Supt. Ed.
