Dear Sir,

In reply to your communication of the 3rd inst, I have to state that there are within the limits of the State a large number of places where Schools can be established, with from fifty to one hundred and fifty scholars, at a cost of three dollars per scholar.

For this reason, we have considered it the best policy to fix the sum of three 

185

dollars, per scholar as the maximum of aid to be furnished by the Bureau in establishment of new schools.

We will furnish this sum for the Schools proposed in your letter, or will gladly turn over to you other localities where the amount will be sufficient to provide good School accomodation.

Yours respectfully,
