The establishment was purchased for a term of years, and the 

 buildings erected by private subscription, of one hundred and 

 thirty-two shares, at 25 each, and by the liberal donations of 

 several useful societies and associations. The yearly expen 

 diture is nearly met by the pay of the pupils, and the produce of 

 the farm, beyond what goes to the support of the pupils. The 

 annual rent paid for the farm is put down at 80, which would 

 be less than ten shillings per acre for the land, and, as in the 

 case of the school at Glasnevin, no charge is made for interest 

 on the stock invested. 



The copy of the accounts of the establishment, for 1841 to 

 1842, was given me by the superintendent, some items from 

 which will, I think, afford gratification to my readers.
